👔 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've been saying this for months" • "Why aren't we doing this already?" • "Let's circle back on the AI thing" • "I just saw a post about this"

I Just Got Back From South By and Apparently Our 'Neural Blockchain' Skincare Strategy Is... Problematic?
The Guardian reports that dermatology has over 3,000 conditions, yet chatbots are handing out flaky skincare advice like candy at a conference booth. Experts warn that AI diagnostic tools lack the precision for reliable skin recommendations, meaning your 'algorithmic glow-up' might actually be a rash. I told the team we need to 'synergize machine learning' into our wellness vertical, but apparently there's a difference between 'AI-driven synergies' and actual medical expertise.
I Heard On a Podcast That 'Body Analysis' Is the New Facial Recognition, So Let's Circle Back on the AI Thing
Certified Cosmetics reports that AI skin analysis is expanding from faces to full-body care through a new Body Analysis platform. The system assesses skin across multiple body areas and connects photo-based findings to personalized product recommendations, following research into body skin specifically. I immediately CC'd the whole company asking why we aren't doing this already, because if we can 'leverage AI' for elbows, we can 'leverage AI' for anything.
