Humanity is about to have a moment...the quirky, the handmade, the visibly human. There's a [small] window opening for that. I told @Fidelity at SXSW why it matters, and why integrity is still the hardest thing for any brand to actually deliver.
This is what the last shameless mile of human labor extraction looks like. Get them addicted to performance boosters before they're replaced by a machine. fortune.com/2026/03/04/palan…
Laid-off lawyers and PhDs are now training the AI that replaced them. If I were a company asking my own employees to dig their own graves, I'd see The Trouble coming from a mile away. theverge.com/cs/features/877…
This morning at #SXSW, @faithpopcorn and Sarah DaVanzo took the stage with the world’s first synthetic female futurist, for a conversation about AI, human agency, and what leadership looks like when the machine has a seat at the table.

The most valuable skill of the future: Knowing how to talk to AI. Chatbots diagnosed medical problems correctly 94% of the time when researchers asked, but only 34% when regular people asked. The gap isn't the technology, it's the prompt. nytimes.com/2026/02/09/well/…
The robotization of humans is well underway. Until then...we'll grasp for whatever sense of humanity we can.

If you’re frustrated your employees aren’t motivated, maybe you’re not giving them enough to work toward. Work ethic collapses when the future feels closed. Invest in a path to homeownership instead of another wellness app. (article by @juliezweil) washingtonpost.com/business/…
