Arnold @Schwarzenegger, please make the movie, “Conan of the Isles” (see plot of the book by the same name)

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

. @elonmusk what are your thoughts about bringing rare metal asteroids into earth orbit? Do you have a roadmap or timeline?

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

@Schwarzenegger looking forward to: “you’ll be back”! #Conan

Public debates, but Copilot vs Gemini.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

@Schwarzenegger say it’s true!

#Thundarr walked so #HeMan could run.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

Hey @Copilot, is this bug happening to others? I can't seem to make podcasts about anything else (are you trying to tell me I'm on the computer too much)?

Aki Ross walked so that Tilly Norwood could run.

I never had much use for accessible image descriptions. With so many useless AI images, it’d be more compact to just see the text alternatives.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

Who are 5 leading UX designers for making AI experiences? What makes them a leader?

Political posts are a reply all to a company email telling people to stop replying all to the company email.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

@elonmusk More important to me would be to know that if someone is employed on behalf of a foreign government to masquerade as an unbiased person. That’s propaganda I don’t want.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

@elonmusk I don’t want to ban AI, I just want AI disclosed and the ability to filter it out so I can only listen to humans where I want to.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

@elonmusk For example, we *want* grok to answer sometimes, which is an AI reply, but it is disclosed implicitly that it is an AI answer.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

If your advice is, “it depends” or “you just have to play with it and see” you are either being sophomoric, or you don’t know. Good experts might start with those words, but they don’t end with those words.

In the future, everyone will just know one language, because computers will translate everything seamlessly. This may cause so much eventual divergence that we will all speak a unique native language that no one can understand without a machine.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

If you are doing an Ai talk, cut the part where you say, “AI is going to change the world.” No really. Just leave that part out. It hurts your talk.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

Your high prep talk is probably amazing. Shrinking it to a tight message probably increases your potential engagement, because fringe interest doesn’t have to listen as long.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

My hot take:
Doing low prep? Do a short talk.
Solid prep? Go for a long talk.
Killer prep? Do a short talk and drop the mic.

[Wayne Miller @wcmille]

Low prep talks are going to be bad, but if you have something interesting to say, just edit it down to the good part and your audience probably appreciates it faster than they are bored.
