Maybe it’s just me, but I get the feeling that the audience isn’t that into AI like he is…

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Google CEO tries to tell University students to love AI.

They tell him to BOO off.

This is what most people think of the hated AI, we don't want it.

@pmitu Always do what others tell you and bend over backwards to please them

@thedankoe If you don't write down your own ambition, someone else will do it for you.

💡 Communication lesson 101:

The message isn't what's sent.
It's what's received.

Same words. Different context. Completely different outcome.

Before you say "Hey buddy"...know which circle you're standing in.

@elonmusk How about opening an office in Switzerland 🇨🇭

@elonmusk North Korea is officially called the „Democratic People’s Republic of Korea“ (DPRK)
…therefore it is a democracy and not a dictatorship 🤔

That feeling when the Claude ecosystem

finally works and you're finally making progress

@PeterDiamandis Starting a company was never the hard part.
Keeping it alive is...

[Nikola Ristic @TheRealTestify]

Nuclear power is an incredible technology.
But once trust was lost, adoption slowed for decades.

AI could face the same fate.

The real bottleneck isn’t necessarily capability.
It’s whether people trust the technology enough.

Will people trust AI fully?
Should they trust AI fully?

[Nikola Ristic @TheRealTestify]

Don’t think in terms of white-collar vs blue-collar jobs being replaced by AI

Think in terms of repetitive tasks.

AI will automate tasks that are predictable and repeatable, no matter the profession.

Stop doing on repetitive work and start focusing on harder, more interesting problems.

You’ve probably seen this chart everywhere on social media.

Before taking it at face value, ask a few simple questions:

• What does the company that published it actually sell? In this case: technology that should replace human work. Therefore they will only publish something that helps them sell this idea

• Can you really reduce someone’s job to a list of isolated tasks? If some tasks get automated, that often frees time for others...innovation, research, problem solving.

• And remember: theory and practice are very different. Just because something is theoretically possible doesn’t mean it’s practical at scale. Real adoption is usually far messier than the charts suggest.

AI will absolutely change how we work.

But it’s still worth thinking critically and applying a bit of logic before accepting every viral graph.

[Nikola Ristic @TheRealTestify]

@TheRundownAI Worth keeping in mind that this is a survey and chart published by the very company selling the replacement.

That doesn’t mean change isn’t coming.
But it does mean the source might have a slight incentive to frame the story a certain way.

Daily reminder
Especially with all the “AI layoffs” headlines

[Nikola Ristic @TheRealTestify]

If writing code was enough, every developer would ship great software.

If writing words was enough, everyone would be a great author.

[Nikola Ristic @TheRealTestify]

Claude is down.

And suddenly productivity drops everywhere.

Dependence on AI is becoming a real risk.

[Nikola Ristic @TheRealTestify]

@svpino Imagine if the goal of AI was augmentation, not replacement…
