Elon Musk said in 2021 if the UN will describe how they could end world hunger with $6 billion he would sell Tesla stock immediately and give the UN $6 billion. The UN complied. Elon ghosted them. In his first act at DOGE Elon shut down USAID ensuring the deaths of thousands of children. #ProudBlue

Just published my most recent thoughts on AI. They will be the last ones I publish for a while, as I'm getting tired of the topic. It focuses on the general feeling that AI is being used more and more as a way to accelerate our drift into failure. Happy read! open.substack.com/pub/makemeac...

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Just had a clarifying realization about self-proclaimed AI-first companies. They are indeed AI-first, but not in the way they mean it. They are AI-first, as in putting the interests of big AI tech firms ahead of those of their employees, users, and shareholders. How is that running a business?

I think people that claim LLMs are "definitely useful" are just suffering a less acute version of this delusion. It is a machine that sets the "seeing a human face in random pattern" instinct into turbo drive. But it's all you projecting onto it

It's amazing the shit I took for giving this obvious prognosis in 2016 -- back before you were allowed to say it, and now it still gets me banned, because I told the truth too early on national TV and that makes it hard for officials to feign ignorance!

I just published a summary of my key findings from the latest DORA report, the first one entirely dedicated to the impact of GenAI in software development. Hint: it's way more nuanced and mixed than what any broligarch would like you to believe open.substack.com/pub/makemeac... Happy reading!

Am I the only one seeing an eerie resemblance between Leland Palmer in Twin Peaks and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Moreover, Leland's alter ego was an evil man called Bob. Did David Lynch predict all the insanity we're witnessing today? twinpeaks.fandom.com/wiki/Leland_...

🧵 Skip Level Meetings Are About Insights, Not Distrust. Yet, many managers are afraid of using them to avoid being perceived as distrusting, micro-managing, or interfering. My latest article explains why you should do them and how to avoid the most common pitfalls.

Individual convenience != Organizational Productivity This is so obvious, yet so many leaders get it all backward. In my latest article, I explore how system thinking can help lift the discussion to the right level. https://makemeacto.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/159741958/share-center

The promises of team reorgs too often tempt leaders and Managers. More often than not, those promises are mere illusions. Consider reorgs as your last option, not your first bullet. https://open.substack.com/pub/makemeacto/p/resisting-the-reorg-itch?r=lcru6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Is GenAI Digital Cocaine? This is the title of an article I just published after researching and reflecting on the topic for a few weeks. Both anecdotal evidence and early research point at an interesting correlation. ↳ GenAI gives us the impression of being more productive. ↳ Like cocaine does.
