Unless we report on someone’s actions or stated intentions, speaking to even 100 people who know them only gives you an approximation of who they really are/what motivates them, and I’m not sure what to do with that knowledge in this instance anyway. 2/5

Altman Profile Critique: Personality Over Ethical Complexity Analysis
By
–
The question isn’t whether the Altman NYer piece is well reported (it is). The entire thing is pinned on one person’s personality, whether they are “good” or “bad”, and morals & ambition can coexist- a premise I disagree with, as someone with a keen interest in human stories. 1/5

Clean Code Matters Less Than Real Impact and Audience

A ghost town with clean code is still a ghost town. The top 1% engineer building for nobody loses to the average engineer with 50,000 followers every time.

AI transformation requires builders, not just consultants and slides
By
–
This meme is funny because it exposes something real. A surprising number of companies say they want to become AI-first. Then they hire more consultants. More slides. More workshops. More people discussing transformation while very few are actually building it. That might have made sense before. It makes much less sense now. AI has already made a big part of traditional consulting work faster, cheaper, and easier: summaries, formatting, repetitive analysis, deck-building, and a lot of the copy-paste work that used to pass as high-value output. So when a company responds to AI by adding even more consultants, I have to ask: What exactly are they accelerating? Because real AI transformation does not happen in a strategy deck. It happens when builders are embedded inside the business. Close to the teams doing the work. Close to the friction. Close to the messy processes that no workshop can fix. That is where the real use cases appear. That is where systems get tested. That is where value gets created. The companies moving fastest right now are not the ones talking most about AI. They are the ones shipping. If consultants outnumber builders in your AI initiative, that is not a strategy. That is the problem. What are you seeing more of right now: companies building with AI, or companies still making decks about it? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessTransformation #Consulting #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #Innovation #AIStrategy

Gary Marcus questions TBPN’s coverage of Altman exposé
By

I missed it. What did the “editorially independent” @tbpn say about the @ronanfarrow @andrewmarantz @newyorker exposé on Altman? Or did they remain silent? Gary Marcus (@GaryMarcus) Bets on whether @tbpn covers this? — https://nitter.net/GaryMarcus/status/2041204225183773111#m

Who Will Rule the World? The AI Governance Question
By

The primary issue of our time is the question: Who is to rule the world? The answer to that question will determine everything else. (paraphrase of James Burnham, The Struggle for the World (1947)).

i think you're supposed to say that you've stared into the abyss and will now be writing poetry until the singularity nitter.net/jackclarkSF/status/196… Jack Clark (@jackclarkSF) People leaving regular companies: Time for a change! Excited for my next chapter! People leaving AI companies: I have gazed into the endless night and there are shapes out there. We must be kind to one another. I am moving on to study philosophy. — https://nitter.net/jackclarkSF/status/1965808738058866898#m
