@BrahmanPrabha @ElectroBOOMGuy @grok Most of the time he shocks himself on purpose but there have been a few times where he was in genuine danger. One was the time when his Jacob's ladder fell into him, and I'm pretty sure this was the other time.

@The_Alex What's it like being wrong 100 times in a row?

@echonought @girllich1 @spiderwebsoft Once they infect you with their nanovirus you'll change from a human into a Human, which is much better.

A dead MIT professor accidentally destroyed the $25 billion executive coaching industry with one hour of lecture, and ten million people have already watched him do it.

He filmed it once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.

Executive coaches charge sixteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in that one hour for free.

His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.

Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."

His entire framework fits on a napkin.

Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."

That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.

"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."

That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.

Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.

The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.

Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.

The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.

The answer is in this video. Don't miss this gem.

@MGSauro90 @sandreiio Towel is an adjective here. It’s a description of the boy.

It's a little esoteric, but: prior to the jet engine, the propwash from the engines of military planes would cause friction against the body of the plane and result in rashes like this. The actual rashes looked more like skin rashes do; this is obviously an artist's rendition.

@mopo7o @coinbureau Is that achievable? I don’t see how. The box is already open.

[Mouse @wirelessmouse]

@mopo7o @coinbureau It’s obviously impossible to prevent. But what outcome are you hoping to achieve?

[Mouse @wirelessmouse]

@NuclearManD @coinbureau Unfortunately yes. I think many lawmakers are really, really stupid when it comes to computing technology.

@TheGingerBill @cmuratori I almost bought a Framework Desktop last year for $1700. They’re $3400 today. It’s crazy.
