Standard experience booking an Uber “5 minutes away” I order it “Finding your driver…” “Pickup in 7 minutes” I open my timer 9 minutes and 21 seconds later, it arrives This is so tedious and I am tired of being deceived at the margin

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy. The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it. But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.” Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right. I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

The winner in all of this AI token spend isn’t: 1. More revenue growth 2. Less OpEx It’s: 1. Leisure time - go home early, work on a side gig, play video games etc etc etc My suspicion is that people are using blower token budgets to do their job in less time. Not so more work in the same time. This may change but humans are not motivated to do more work and see upside accrue to a few. Take this to the bank as Wall Street starts demanding specific data about AI enhancements over these next 18 months.

If you are a “non-technical” seller you need to obsess over leveling up your technical acumen. I don’t think the future “deal team” is an Account Executive Solution Engineer Solution Architect Sales Manager VP of Sales Sellers that need multiple layers of support just to talk to a customer don’t have a long shelf-life for high paying roles. Sellers that can handle technical business conversations will do very well for a long time. (This is my opinion and I’m often wrong so take with grain of salt)

Two weeks ago I was on cruise control w/ claude and chatgpt. Spreadsheets formatting perfectly, connecting dots on difficult tasks, outstanding financial modeling, great POVs. Something happened this week and they are both borderline unusable. I’m running the exact same prompts and it’s largely just spitting out nonsense.

Silver almost certainly has the data to show that these kind of calls drive engagement by hate watching, there’s no other explanation. This shit 10Xs, any other NBA content on socials

People asked why I was so blown away by Claude Cowork, so I thought I’d puke some quick thoughts out The true promise of Claude Cowork, and ultimately any sort of agentic, AI powered workflow tool is to realize the perfect embodiment of the organization as described by Peter Drucker, who famously said: “Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two--and only two--basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs” Build the product and generate demand. That’s what drives value. Everything else is a cost If you’ve never worked in a large organization, it’s hard to truly explain how many “costs” there truly are, and how many of those costs are just a coordination tax. Take the launch of a new software product: The business needs to document how the product works, where it breaks and has errors. The support reps need to know how the support it. The onboarding and implementation team need to learn how to set it up. The Account Management team needs to learn how to upsell it and drive value through adoption. The sales team needs to learn how to sell it. The marketing team needs to position it in the marketplace and run campaigns about it. The partner network needs to learn it The amount of coordination, repackaging, enablement, internal distribution etc is. Absolutely. Staggeringly. Enormous. Hundreds of people involved. Thousands at larger businesses. Every one of these businesses have created convoluted templates and processes to document, enable, support, service, and sell Now imagine taking all the market research, customer feedback, data, decisions, positioning, and yes, code, and cascading that automatically through the organization, repackaged using the templates that have already painstakingly been created and refined and honed through hundreds of launches, to the relevant team with the correct context and packaging, directly into the hands of actual internal or external end user That’s the world that just got way, way, way closer to reality. In fact, the main reason it won’t happen any time soon are the people, many of whom will fight tooth and nail against this automation because they will fight like crazy to protect the status quo This is why you are already seeing AI-native startups move so quickly. Because product launches are cascaded through the organization and out to the customer with way less friction than incumbents can ever dream of Incumbents are going to have to whip their companies into the AI era. Their employees will not go willingly. But the future is here, and the startups are moving way, way faster

SGA SHOVES Derrick White and gets 2 free throws. Derrick White NEVER TOUCHED SGA

It’s just a weird sickness at some point, this level of greed. You have $200 billion dollars. You could wipe your ass with $100 bills and keep getting richer every day. Why kill thousands and thousands of jobs at this point?

Anthropic researcher: Even if all AI progress stops now & algorithms don’t improve, current models already can automate most white-collar jobs within 5 years. Manual task-feeding to AI model is already more economically viable than human labor.
