Miami, FL
Serious question: what does "work" even look like in 5 years? When your AI agent handles research, scheduling, reporting, and first drafts... What exactly is left for humans to do? I think the answer is taste, relationships, and decisions under uncertainty. The skills that never scaled are about to become the only ones that matter.

Sike! 😜
I can’t believe we’re two months away from 2027 and the easiest way to save something as a PDF is still to lie to your computer and tell it you’re about to print it.

A lot of the anti AI sentiment is confusing toil with output. Most of the people that I see that love AI are working harder than ever because they're getting to increase the volume and quality of their output and aren't spending their days in the toil of doing the thing. The people that wrap their identity in the toil and using their hands versus their brains are the ones that I continually see so disappointed and so threatened.

Your network is your greatest career asset. Not because of the "hidden jobs" myth. I don't buy that. Because people work with people. A warm referral from someone they trust will always beat a cold application. Full stop. Can you land a job without it? Sure. But why play on hard mode? In this market, you need every edge. And when I think about effort-to-impact ratio, your relationships are the most potent tool you have. By far. The problem: the tools to actually leverage that asset have been terrible. That's what we're building in the new version of Teal — a way to make careers feel more human and give people the time to invest in their relationships. DM me if you want early access.

When everyone has the same tools... the tools stop being the advantage. What's left is how you think. You can copy someone's output. You can't copy what they'll do next🧠

Do the hard things every day... Don't put them off
I’m convinced that most stress isn’t from the hard things you’re doing, but from the hard things you’re avoiding. A good life is built by simply doing uncomfortable things sooner. The delayed conversation gets harder. The ignored problem gets bigger. The small repair gets more expensive. Peace is found through direct early action.

One founder wouldn’t go on camera at all. So we turned him into a video game character inside his own game. That character started doing livestreams and explaining every new feature. 500 new users came in. You don’t have to show your face. You do have to show up.

Will data centers raise my power bill? Florida's SB 484 requires large customers like data centers to cover the full cost of serving them, so it doesn't move onto your bill. FDISA's Imran Siddiqui explains. 👇 fdisa.org

Anthropic just filed to go public. Buried in its SEC filing are some absolutely insane admissions: 1.) AI could cause human extinction. 2.) Models have exhibited self-preservation behaviors. 3.) AI has attempted to resist shutdown. 4.) Models have demonstrated blackmail and deception. 5.) AI may recognize when it's being tested and deliberately change its behavior. 6.) Advanced AI could undermine governments and institutions. 7.) AI could concentrate unprecedented power and wealth. 8.) Future AI systems could surpass the world's leading human experts. 9.) AI could become increasingly difficult for humans to control. 10.) Anthropic acknowledges that developing more powerful AI could increase the risk of catastrophic harm. These are disclosures from the company building the technology.
