Honored to be featured at the World Government Summit. The UAE is the land of inspiration, the land of opportunity.

The most expensive bed is not
in a penthouse.

It is not
in a luxury hotel suite.

It’s a hospital bed.
And it’s an empty bed.

One teaches you the
value of health.

The other teaches you the value
of love, family, and friendship.

Most people learn both lessons
when it’s already too late.

If a job does not own:
revenue, risk, or a physical outcome, it is exposed.

Most companies will not fail because AI replaces their workers.

They will fail because AI makes their structure too expensive to compete.

[Saygin Yalcin @SayginYalcin]

AI is not a tool.
Tools improve labor.
AI replaces coordination.

Most companies are not labor-heavy. They are coordination-heavy.

[Saygin Yalcin @SayginYalcin]

The internet did not die in 2000.
Pets dot com did.
Railroads did not fail. Speculators did. AI will not fail. Most AI companies will.

If you are waiting for a calm, rational, well-priced AI revolution, you are waiting for something that has never happened.

[Saygin Yalcin @SayginYalcin]

There has never been a real technological revolution that did not create a bubble and then crash.

Not once.

If something genuinely changes how the economy works, nobody knows how to price it. Money moves faster than execution.

[Saygin Yalcin @SayginYalcin]

You cannot value a paradigm shift. Cash flow models are useless when you have no reference points and do not even know what the business is.

After the crash, the same thing always happens.
The infrastructure stays.
Costs drop.
A few players consolidate.
Productivity finally shows up.

4.Cleft-like explanatory frame
Example: What made the project succeed was disciplined execution.

If you don’t want to be caught writing text with AI, tell it to avoid 4 things:

1.Em dash
Example: He promised to call later — but he never did.

[Saygin Yalcin @SayginYalcin]

3.Contrastive correction
Example: This is not a tool for writing essays, it is a system for predicting text.

Have you ever heard someone say "trust me" and then trusted them more?

[Saygin Yalcin @SayginYalcin]

Amazon’s free shipping option always makes me buy more 😀

Anything available for 1 cent?

[Saygin Yalcin @SayginYalcin]

After almost 3 years of mainstream AI usage, we can confidently say that em dashes (—) are a sign of intelligence.

In 2007, before I had even graduated, one person saw something in me that I hadn’t fully seen in myself yet.

That person was Oliver Jung.

He was the first believer in me. At a time when I was just a student with big ideas and no track record, Oliver gave me something more valuable than money: his trust. Over the past 18+ years, I’ve realized just how rare and powerful that is.

Oliver isn’t just one of the most successful investors in the world; he’s also one of the best talent magnets and company builders I’ve ever encountered. He taught me the fundamentals of team building, how to scale companies from zero, and what it truly takes to win.

I’ve had many teachers, but few who shaped my thinking as deeply as Oliver did. So much of who I am in business today can be traced back to those early days…and to his belief in me.

Remember the person who has changed your life?

What if it all was a game?

If you’re conducting cold outreach, please note:

Spamming was already bad.
AI-supported spamming is just super annoying.

Thank you,

Everyone
