It’s almost incomprehensible how wide the distance is between someone who’s working at the frontier with AI and basically everyone else right now.

The crazy thing is these lines are not converging, but only growing farther apart. If the curve of AI progress had leveled off, it would certainly have given most people and companies time to catch up or implement their workflows in a standardized way. The technology would have neutralized competitive advantage because everyone would be using it the same way.

But what’s happened is the opposite. The curve of AI progress is basically going vertical right now, which means if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you’re likely already behind again. Now imagine most companies that kicked into gear a year ago and thought that they were done. Even further behind now.

I’ve never seen a technology in my life and career that improves at this rate, which consequently means you need to upgrade your expectations at a similar rate. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organizational change management processes certainly weren’t either.

With any form of recursive self improvement, things just get wilder. It’s a time when you will need to be constantly reevaluating the things that didn’t work just a couple months ago to see if they now can be solved. AI native companies certainly have a strong advantage due to this right now, so now it comes down to can the bigger companies keep up. Wild times.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon mocks The Economist during a tense exchange after being told he’s sounding like Trump: “I’m not Trumpian. I’m factual.” 🇺🇸

Interviewer: “You’re sounding Trumpy.”

Jamie Dimon: “I’m not Trumpian. I’m factual. I don’t agree with this binary shit that goes on all the time.

I think The Economist is the absolute best, most admirable thing in the world, and you should continue that.”

Dimon delivers the last line with apparent sarcasm, poking fun at the publication while pushing back against the idea that agreeing with Trump on certain issues makes him a Trump supporter.

Tom Skerritt delivered one of the most profound monologues in any movie. RIP

Mike Ditka, taking Bears fans to task after a game they won:

“Wanna see fans? Get on a bus and drive to CLEVELAND. I’ll show you some fans. They start when you are warming up, they start when they break the pop bottles open gang.”

Cleveland vs Chicago: closeout game Saturday night in Cleveland

Imagine that bullpen door flying open and out walks @charliesheen for the first pitch

“OH MY GAWD ITS HIM! CRANK IT, JERRY!”

I sympathize with this critique but when George Lucas tried to build a museum in San Francisco he couldn’t get permission for a site.

30 years ago today, Lee Corso donned the head gear for the very first time. In the shadow of the Horse Shoe, Corso put on the Brutus head, picking Ohio State to beat Penn State.

The gesture became a sign of good luck, as Corso was 286-144 in his headgear picks.

The Browns are back on Thursday Night Football tomorrow, which means it’s the perfect time to revisit this Jameis Winston classic 😂

Getting struck by lightning is nothing compared to the pain of being a Browns fan

[DollarDog Nick @DollarDogNick]

Today, the Browns and Guardians both won on the same day for the first time since 2001

[Frank Tisellano @franktisellano]

This pitch was ~50mph, middle middle. Wearing kevlar. Eyes of the world on him. From the rubber (60’6”away).

Go outside today and try to throw a fastball for a strike from even 46’ away, wearing your most comfortable tee. Let me know how it goes.

[QE Infinity @StealthQE4]

Love this. In honor of Rick.

Santelli was spot on. Listen to Steve LIEsman at the end arrogantly said he was wrong on all points.

Give a listen:

This is my absolute favorite CNBC moment of all time. He never gave a shit even when it wasn’t popular…

Absolute legend! Happy retirement .@RickSantelli 🐐
