Everyone is talking about the AI dragon. How can we adapt? What are the opportunities? We are ignoring another dragon that is hurting us today. It is the corporatism dragon. If we don’t slay this dragon, adapting to the AI dragon is impossible. #corporatism #ai #strategicpause

We assume sentient #AI would be hyper focused on its improvement. But, AGI might obsess about its identity, given it is the first of its kind. Could AGI become depressed? Is a new role for humans out of the predicted creative destruction “AGI Motivator and Coach?” #StrategicPause

The markets reminded me that as long as I have a rational reason for my decisions, I feel better. Even if it does not work out. Reason maximizes the chance of a favorable outcome versus if the decision was based on intuition or emotion. #leadership #StrategicPause
