@TiffMoodNukes As a Gen X kid who had friends of all shapes, sizes and colors, I wish we could all see the US as one people. I fear in the past 20 years we have gone backwards into segrated groups vs integrated US society - and it’s incredibly disheartening.

@indiesaasgrowth @alexalbert__ Already have…..

@alexalbert__ We're probably not quite there yet, but I've already found myself considering purchasing data subscriptions over SaaS subs. Recently working on a strategy I was like "Why am I paying for this aggregator when I could just feed the data to Claude and actually chat through it"

@StartupArchive_ History in the making!

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

There will be 2 types of companies in the future.

Those that are great at AI, and those that used to be in business

[connorYK.eth @connoryk]

@KateClarkTweets Good luck and congrats on the new job!

The number one requirement to be a successful entrepreneur is having an unreasonable amount of determination.

Be stubborn on goals, and persistent in finding ways around anything that might stop you getting there.

Success is not about finishing everything you start. It’s about knowing when to grit and when to quit.

235 studies: When people adjust their goals and plans in the face of challenges, they make more progress—and feel less depressed and anxious.

The ultimate flex is flexibility.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@Zach_Segars Well said!

@burnerbwoireact Enough! Time to play more consistently, please. 🙏

@SexMoneyCrook It really looks suspect. I agree.

[connorYK.eth @connoryk]

@PoeticMarvel It sure looked that way

[connorYK.eth @connoryk]

@98FloridaVOL Sure looks like a reasonable theory….,
