The issue with companies who say "we gave everyone ai" is that most employees try it once, ask it to summarize a doc or email, shrug, and go back to their old workflow.
Now your team thinks AI is overhyped.
Incentives matter...
OpenAI will lose $20 billion in investment if they don't convert to a for-profit company this year
Microsoft has veto power on converting to a for-profit company and they seem reluctant
Microsoft loses its veto power when AGI is reached
Sal Altman writes a blog post claiming "soft" AGI has been reached
🤔
67% of Inc. 5000 companies fail within 5 years...
Not because they didn’t grow, but because they tried to scale chaos.
Growth isn't the answer.
Systems are the answer.

Thanks @jeremyutley for introducing me to this quote.
I was watching this show, Tracker, and there’s an episode where they use something called a "death whistle" to lure in the assailants. Naturally, I had to know if that was a real thing.
It is! And there’s actual research showing it can mess with your brain.
So yeah… I ordered one. Apparently Amazon won't send emails with "death" in the item title.

I received an Amazon order confirmation email, but the item name was hidden.
Just says: “Item hidden for privacy.”
I didn’t even know Amazon did that!
Wanna guess what it was? 🫣
