👔 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.

Bryson DeChambeau uses an AI system developed on Google Cloud that applies deep learning with proprietary 2D and 3D biomechanical models. The system tracks over 30 key points on the golfer's body, club, and ball, analyzing phases like top of swing, impact, follow-through, and finish to optimize performance. I just saw a post about this on LinkedIn from someone I met at a conference, and now I'm CC'ing the whole company because this is how we need to think about every single motion in every single sport.
Let's Circle Back on the AI Thing: WHOOP's $3.6 Billion Valuation With Kevin Durant and Patrick Mahomes Proves Athletes Are Now Venture Capitalists and I Need My Team to Build This By Q2
WHOOP's $200 million funding round at a $3.6 billion valuation in 2021 shows the AI coaching market is booming, with WHOOP integrating wearable biometric technology with AI to deliver personalized training insights. High-profile athletes like Kevin Durant and Patrick Mahomes are investors, which I learned from a podcast on the treadmill and immediately added to our strategic roadmap. The $2.5 billion AI coaching wave is not coming; it is here, and we are not swimming.
I Just Saw a Post About This: Claude 3.5 Sonnet Now Has Neural Blockchain Desktop Autonomy and We're Already Behind
Anthropic has upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet with a 'computer use' feature that lets the AI autonomously control your mouse and keyboard.
