Five Socratic-based questions to improve your thinking. 1/2 5. What would it take to change your mind? Be specific. 4. If your best reason for believing that was false, would you still believe? (That's called a "real reason check".)

@mcuban @shellypalmer Its diagnostic tools; one must be able to interpret the results in a way that considers the context of the ultimate goal. Then reiterate, never assuming all variables are known.

Great line from @shellypalmer that I’ll paraphrase - AI shouldn’t be a ghostwriter, it should be a sparring partner. Best way to keep your job isn’t to dismiss AI. It’s to engage with it and find where it’s wrong. In order for AI to know it’s wrong, you have to spend a lot of time building context and rules before you use it. Which is something that 99 pct of people have no clue how to do. And unless you are in a tech company, there is the same probability that the boss(es) above you have no clue what I’m talking about. And in business, AI never knows the consequences of its actions. It doesn’t have judgement. That’s left to you If you learn how to get the best out of AI. How to challenge AI , like it was a competitive coworker or consultant, and how to bring judgement and the ability to explain in a manner your peers and bosses understand, you will thrive. If you just regurgitate what AI gives you, you will be fired.

@BrianRoemmele That is just nuts. I need to see it in person.

It is nearly impossible to comprehend what SpaceX has built. The gargantuan scale of the complex and the rockets they produce is unmatched anyplace on this planet. The US is in a tuff place but a much less tuff place because of what they achieve.

The preponderance of the evidence gets ever more preponderant: here's a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies, in JAMA. Important finding for setting 16 as the age minimum:

How much data did we need before we understood the harmful societal effects of smoking and implemented restrictions? Actually, it was a lot. A lot of data was needed because the cigarette companies wanted to milk their golden goose as long as possible. The cost of paying class action lawsuits in the future was far less than the cash they could make in the moment. This is the same incentive today with social media and their app makers. Some parents try to organize their other classroom parents together in a coalition to limit the apps. This seems to work but it’s so few and far between. A broad societal moratorium on social media for people under 16yo diminishes NOTHING and probably helps millions and millions of kids and then these kids as they enter adulthood. It would also help parents. I, personally, have strict social media rules for myself and my kids. And I will keep pushing back on my kids when they ask for instagram because that’s my job as their dad. But having a broad moratorium would make the lives of all parents far simpler and, in hindsight, will be proven as the right public health policy thing to have done.

@JeromeAdamsMD So which 'experts' do you trust more? FDA (e.g. PHA experts) or non-PHA experts who are questioning the orthodoxy of government backed science and guidance?

Experts are questioning the current HHS push to increase protein in Americans’ diets - especially as colon cancer rates are rising in younger people, with research linking ⬆️ red meat intake to higher risk. Are federal dietary guidelines actually improving public health… or quietly making things worse? 🤔

@NewsHour Aren't the nutrition experts at the FDA that determined this new guidance, "top nutrition experts"? And presumably have access to more nutrition science than anyone else?

Top nutrition experts question the protein push, saying Americans already consume more protein than they need, and there's no new evidence that people need to drastically ramp up consumption. to.pbs.org/49xi92c

@JeromeAdamsMD "Many"? Not sure what % you have in mind, but its likely a small, radicalized, very vocal minority.

Nor my job or role to defend Dr. Saphier, but it illustrates how irrational and extreme many in the MAHA movement are that you have a doctor who literally wrote the book on MAHA - before RFK ever uttered the words- yet because she’s not blatantly anti- vax, they don’t want her.

@OpulentAura @elonmusk You see only trees and can't grasp the forest.

@elonmusk Go on Elon… keep pointing those fingers at everyone else but yourself. We see you. The big tech broligarchy is much more dangerous to humanity than ‘woke women’.

@mcuban Meanwhile that check and balance IS necessary. Especially now; on top of Dr. Google, people have Dr. AI informing them about ailments they have and procedures they 'need'. Some of it is good info for sure, but the decision requires arbitrage of *some* sort.

This happens all the time. Carrier wise contracto s owned by PE that don't appear to give a shit

@BrianRoemmele He's speaking to his employees who carry a disdain for customers that can afford a $9 cup of coffee.

@horsetwting Thats foal language

fuck you

In 2017, one my first tasks at the White House was to keep Bobby Kennedy far away from the West Wing. Not because President Trump didn't want him there (he'd actually agreed to Bobby's pitch to create a vaccine safety commission). But others (you can guess who) weren't thrilled, and they told me to get rid of him. So I protected the orthodoxy I'd been trained to protect. And it took me years to realize what I had actually done. Tomorrow, I publish the full confession. The 2002 autism moms I ignored. The 2017 vaccine safety commission I killed. The 2021 moment I finally broke. The apology I owed Secretary Kennedy. And what I've done to atone. It's hardest thing I've written. I'm sending it out to my list at 6am.

@RealCandaceO As does the truth

I have not retracted a single claim I have made about Erika Kirk. Stop with the b.s Twitter trends. I stand by every single statement I have made and have not edited any of my past statements in light of Brian Harpole’s lawsuit. I look forward to the power of subpoena.

@SabineVdL At first, "AI Coordinator". Then specialties, e.g. Finance AI Coordinator, HR, Marketing, etc. Until eventually the AI aspect is presumed and it goes back to just Finance Coordinator.

The job title nobody has yet — but every organization will within 36 months. Agent Boss. Not a prompt engineer. Not an AI specialist. A knowledge worker who commands a portfolio of digital agents, owns the outcomes they produce, and is measured on a metric most companies aren't tracking: the Human-Agent Ratio. SAS Innovate Day 2 made this real. The CI360 announcement revealed a supervisory architecture — one orchestrating agent directing a constellation of specialists. The marketer stays in the loop. The agents execute at a scale no human team could match. Two marketers commanding fifty agents now produce what twenty produced in 2019. This isn't a pilot. It is in production. Underneath the tools, a structural shift is happening. The org chart — built around functional silos — is giving way to a Work Chart: outcome-shaped pods of humans and agents that assemble, execute, and disband. Headcount stops being the unit of capacity. The Human-Agent Ratio takes its place. Frontier Firms making this move today are compounding every quarter. Five moves to start this quarter are in the article. The most important one: name your agent boss before you deploy your first agent. Enjoy today's article: linkedin.com/pulse/agent-bo…

@Seymour_Cup @mysteriouskat False dichotomy

@mysteriouskat This is only a controversial statement if you think Arab lives have 0 value.

She hosts a podcast called BAD FAITH. Make of that what you will.

@JonathanTurley LOL! Wow. Uhh...speechless.

I had to check to be sure that this was not a hilarious addition to the Babylon Bee. The Democratic city council of Ann Arbor, Michigan, unanimously voted to order the removal of anti-crime signs in order to be more "inclusive"... foxnews.com/politics/liber…
