Isnt everyone building with cost in mind? It would be like saying I need to screw in an outlet cover so I should go buy a electric drill from Home Depot when I could have just used my screw driver sitting in my junk drawer that cost me $2. Cheaper, faster. Too many people get caught up in using AI to solve everything versus treating it like any other advancement. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

My only advice to CEOs this year..

Hire tinkerers.

Make it high status.

Find ones that will explore the edges and (ideally) naturally gifted at teaching people.

Empower them to freely roam across the org and fix large problems that can be automated.

All your execs will complain that these tinkerers don’t understand scale or systems (rollout being a favorite word).

Listen, and ignore them. Or even better give them budget to hire a tinkerer to achieve their targets.

Give these tinkerers ambition, purpose and hard targets and watch them fly.

@rasmalai To me its no different from other forms. I cannot do long division I dont think on paper anymore but I can write custom conditional logic no problem or functions. Your brain is adapting to the toolsets that are available

@unusual_whales Going out while sales still are up. Smart move

[Sean Dawes @SeanDawes]

@howard This is the way

@NotGoKGreen @EHoltzheimer . Unsure what state but may be able to refer you if not in state you need. Nothing but best to say about Ernie

@kevinrose First unlock for most is learning ai is not like search where ask > answer but conversational. Second unlock is when people realize conversations happen with more than 1 person in a workplace and to do the same with ai

Still don't understand why people can't see the comparison to power tools. We all can go to Home Depot/Lowes and buy them but most of us without training and experience will do some bad or dangerous work. But put in the hands of a skilled professional and you build beautiful things

Note, bank runs are not in favor of someone tied to a bank. Also being blatantly wrong about the markets is also not good for banks who are trusted with money. Always understand the context. His statement almost cancels itself out in terms of outlook. Given the above its more like consumers are fading and showing recession on horizon if course is not altered. But as of yet too soon to tell per his thoughts.

@gaetano_nyc Ability to achieve awareness is something most overlook in life. Good book on the topic Awareness: Conversations with the Masters https://t.co/mB84TOzfKc

You’ve said you worked 40 years to keep your most important relationship a priority. For someone who’s ambitious but also wants to design a life where family isn’t second place, what’s the one habit or mindset shift you’d recommend?

I currently balance this by carving extra time before they wake up and working after they go to sleep.

@SpencerHakimian For those saying search is up are overlooking how this data is represented its relative not absolute. Its not exact search query count. Therefore this is true representation of the query popularity over time regardless of query count

@dkardonsky_ Think a good comparison would be look at youtube and other short form media. How many people use it to learn versus other forms of content? Not like the famous youtubers are from making educational channels sadly.

@SBA_Matthias Family is everything. Money is just the tool we use to buy time. Once people realize that, collecting objects seems silly. The real thing that is scarce in this life is time....we all only get 24hrs in a day and the total supply is never truly known.

[Sean Dawes @SeanDawes]

@SBA_Matthias I live it. Typing this 10pm while working a W2 post acquisition. So tomorrow I can be present for Labor Day fun with family.

The question I often think does AI in the future enable more of us to truly enjoy the best thing in the world that even at that description is an understatement. AI can unlock efficiencies but what do we do with this power. Especially the US labor force which compared to Europe pushes more and more

[Sean Dawes @SeanDawes]

@levie IMO this is where the rise of the Intelligent Generalist will find financial opportunity. Someone in an org who can bridge the silos of traditional orgs, leverage tech especially AI in the best MVP means to get the job done.

@paulg I keep going back to people don't realize you can also do bad math on a digital calculator if you don't know how to use it. Build a bad house with power tools etc. The power is in the beholder not a standalone tool.

@alexisohanian “You think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man”

That quote hits for those of us not just in Batman.
