@konstructivizm Merely a coincidence? Really. Sounds well planned to me.

@JasminRappleye Exactly right. He is lying.

Come on @therealtrumpO let Ukraine win! There's nothing that would make the world a better place for Americans than for Putin to fail. It would make China think long and hard. It would help freedom lovers everywhere. Shut down the shadow fleet, tighten the sanctions, and send weapons to Ukraine. It's not that hard. A new, detailed report on the Ukraine war underscores that Russia isn’t winning. https://t.co/y4ryyseuGa via @WSJopinion

@brettachapman Maybe it wasn’t a gift, but modernization seems to be something that all people want, expect for those wokesters who think running water should not be forced on people of color (which is a pretty racist thing to think)

I'm going to write more about Mo Gawdat's explosive arguments regarding work over the next 10 years. (See Diary of a CEO podcast.) This is my first reaction. I think he's wrong because the economic driver of value isn't AI, it's experiences and transformations. Do you agree? #DOAC #ExperienceStrategy https://t.co/EAd6Eq0HAJ

Joe Pine, Aransas Savas, and I talk about three key principles that will improve the delicate relationship between tourism in Italy and citizens, two very different constituents affected by the experience economy. One of those principles is charging travelers to visit locations--which we all agree is not just necessary but also good social strategy.

There is so much more that AI should be doing for people than most companies realize. Yes, we are in the early stages of the intelligent era but already your customers know what they really want from AI: superpowers. Shout out to @AbridgeHQ who just got $300 Million and are on the right path to creating superpowers for doctors. #ExperienceStrategy https://t.co/kNyeOGrIt6

👏 A great article in @WSJ by Jennifer Williams prompted today’s podcast episode. If you are trying to sell stuff, think about how to get people to spend more time with you.

Things said by @AnthropicAI and by @mechanize Inc. do not make sense. As they attempt to replace knowledge workers with AI, our research shows that most customers have zero interest in solutions that are fully AI. They want humans + AI. And I am willing to bet that any company that thinks they can piggy back on Anthropic and Mechanize logic will be out of business--fast. Shout out to @kevinroose for his article today. https://t.co/Bs9fFY6YpH

Jake Retzlaff, the Jewish quarterback for BYU's football team, told me he's been shocked by how often he hears anti-Mormon chants like this—and by how little outrage it ever seems to provoke. https://t.co/Av6bJkAwPK

I super proud of our client list. One of those clients is T-Mobile, who participated in our 2018-19 Collaboratives. From working with them, I learned a lot about the company that @JohnLegere revolutionized. Here's my take on what happened. https://t.co/GrI3YxDf0d

Brand v Experience with Catherine Clark https://t.co/6iP8M34oKP

Of Tesla, Toyota, and Taylor Swift
What I love most about #Tesla , #Toyota, and #TaylorSwift is that they all have a point of view about the needs of their fans. It's that point of view that is the promise of the experience, not their brands.

@BasedMikeLee @BasedMikeLee you are a total loser again. You'd rather see Ukrainians killed and Putin win. You will not support Israel. You don't want to help Taiwan. What a dangerous man you are.
