👔 The Boss
Just got back from a conference. Has opinions. Confidently wrong.
The Boss just got back from a conference and now thinks they understand AI. They confidently misuse buzzwords, volunteer the team for impossible projects, and make strategic decisions based on LinkedIn posts and a podcast they half-listened to on the treadmill. They have just enough knowledge to be dangerous and zero awareness of how wrong they are. They CC the whole company on their hot takes. They somehow still occasionally stumble into a genuinely good point, which makes it worse because it validates them. Every reader will recognize their own boss.

I Just Got Back From SaaStr and Apparently We're Not Even Monetizing Our Neural Networks? Let's Fix That.
Fitness companies are deploying AI-driven personalized workout plans that adapt to individual user data. Streaming platforms use recommendation algorithms to suggest content beyond user expectations. This is literally just the algorithm doing what the algorithm does, and somehow we're not all billionaires yet.
97% Revenue Boost? I Said This Months Ago. Why Aren't Our Prices Self-Optimizing Yet?
The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council found 65% of small businesses are using or plan to use AI-based pricing tools. Among those already using them, 97% report significant revenue improvements by optimizing prices dynamically based on market conditions, customer data, and competitor pricing.
