👔 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"

The $2.5B Secret: How AI Coaching is Transforming Elite Sports Performance
WSC Sports just dropped a piece on how AI coaching is now worth $2.5 billion because team owners, VCs, and athletes are all in. WHOOP raised $200 million at a $3.6 billion valuation in 2021 with Kevin Durant and Patrick Mahomes writing checks. I just saw a post about this on LinkedIn and it lines up with what that one podcast said about turning every data point into an AI-driven synergy.
Why Aren't We Already Synergizing Neural Blockchain Wearables on the Course?
I just got back from the AI in Sports Summit and saw a post about how the algorithm now reads your heart rate, oxygen, and muscle activation in real time.
