👔 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 saw a post about this, and honestly, let's circle back on the AI thing, we need to synergize our neural blockchain with unit economics immediately.
I've Been Saying This for Months: Agencies Are Burning Cash on 'AI-Driven Synergies' Without the Neural Blockchain to Back It Up
Ad agencies raced to deploy generative AI across creative workflows but are now confronting a reality gap where spending has outpaced demonstrated value. The Digiday report notes that marketers are only beginning to calculate true costs as usage scales faster than proof of return. I just saw a post about this on LinkedIn last week, and frankly, why aren't we doing this already?
Let's Circle Back on the AI Thing: I Synergized My Way Through 47 Visual Tools So You Don't Have To

Moonshot AI unveiled Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter model that Wall Street is calling a seismic shift in the global AI race. I've been saying this for months — the algorithm wars are real and we need to synergize our machine learning stack yesterday. My podcast guy on the treadmill called this exact play back in March.
Let's Circle Back on the AI Thing: Thinking Machines Goes Open Source With Inkling and Finally Proves They've Been Building Something This Whole Time
Thinking Machines, after a year and a half of building AI infrastructure largely out of public view, released its first open model called Inkling. This is their public proof point against one-size-fits-all AI, which I've been saying is dead since that LinkedIn post I liked about bespoke neural networks. The podcast I half-listened to on the treadmill last week literally predicted this exact pivot.
I Just Got Back From SaaStr and Suddenly I'm Obsessed With AI Policy. Also, Why Doesn't Our One-Pager Have Blockchain?
Small businesses deployed AI tools faster than they documented any rules for using them. EU disclosure requirements and U.S. state laws are now forcing the issue. A simple one-page AI policy can satisfy both regulators asking questions and clients who want to know how their data gets fed into the algorithm.
