Seeing Around Corners
The phrase "seeing around corners" gets tossed around boardrooms and strategy meetings as though it were a compliment, a kind of secular beatification for the executive or thinker who got there first. But the phrase deserves closer scrutiny, because what it actually describes is a discipline, and one that most people refuse to practice because the conclusions it produces are uncomfortable.
Meta entwickelt KI-Version von Mark Zuckerberg
Einem Medienbericht zufolge arbeitet Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg an einem KI-Avatar, der ihn bei Meetings ersetzen und mit Mitarbeitenden interagieren soll.

This is why a Mayor has to just fucking build it, rather than holding endless public outreach (and scarring city employees in the process, who are then less likely to take bold action because they're scared of getting yelled at).
It's also why when people are like, "but you can't blame people for climate change, that's Big Oil propaganda!", it's ultimately both. Oil companies have the deep pockets, but individuals have the passion to fight for their dumb p…

The White House is forcing countries to choose between opening up a potentially unbridgeable rift
or playing down the climate crisis and trying to squeeze in green priorities by the back door.
Last autumn, the US Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, demanded the removal of some climate finance targets from the World Bank’s aims
and insisted it must “finance all affordable and reliable sources of energy … [with] an all-of-the-above approach to energy that includes financing fo…

"Top White House officials believe New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan obtained audio recordings of Situation Room meetings for their forthcoming book, “Regime Change.” Such a taped leak would be a shocking breach of one of the most secure settings on Earth.

Don’t Do Team Meetings
Regular team meetings are often treated as a default part of work. They are seen as a sign of coordination, alignment, and healthy communication. In practice, they often reveal the opposite.
A recurring team meeting where everyone goes around the room to explain what they did last week is usually not a good use of time. It turns communication into a performance instead of a real exchange of useful information. If the team needs a formal meeting just to lear…
Who was the jack hole who thought 10 AM on a Tuesday was the right time to silently start installing a Teams update? Like, no. That's when meetings are happening.
Don't make a tool mission-critical, then think you can take it down at the moment when it is most needed.

What my problem with AI is, you ask?
It's not the math, or the science¹ or the technology, it's not even the data collection.
If you want one word: Techbros.
It's the way AI is applied and promoted and forced upon people, how it damages society and culture, how it exploits.
It is capitalism.

Zwei Drittel inszenieren ihre Produktivität. Online-Status faken. Länger bleiben, weil der Chef noch da ist. In Meetings reden, ohne etwas zu sagen. Das ist kein Versagen der Mitarbeitenden — das ist die logische Antwort auf ein Führungsmodell, das Sichtbarkeit belohnt statt Ergebnisse. Und eine neue Indeed-Umfrage beweist: Es hat sich seit Jahren nichts geändert. 👀

"Every system has exactly one constraint. One bottleneck. The throughput of your entire system is determined by the throughput of that bottleneck. Nothing else matters until you fix the bottleneck.
That's the part most people get. Here's the part they don't, and it's the part that should scare you:
When you optimise a step that is not the bottleneck, you don't get a faster system. You get a more broken one."

I never cease to be mystified by this common work-from-home complaint.
I’ve been 100% wfh aside from a half-dozen short trips to NJ for “all-hands” meetings since 2008. Last one of those was 2016.
I consider solitude when working one of the great positive features of wfh. Having people forcibly interrupt me by their physical presence gained me a ‘prickly’ reputation in my last office.
Dear Zoom,
In what world would you think I would want an “AI Companion” panel *taking up almost half the application screen*? And that apparently *I cannot turn off* in the application settings itself… and instead have to login to the Zoom website to go into the settings *there* to turn off this panel?
This is the kind of behavior toward users that is turning people off to all things related to #AI
