How is AI being built in #China and what are the ramifications? Learned firsthand from a China-based expert and our go-to person, Ashley, during her China Innovation study tour in September. #GlobalBusiness. #StayingGlobal #GTM #GlobalExpansion linkedin.com/posts/ashleydu…

Companies reconsider structure and/or presence in foreign markets with #geopolitical situations. Soon we're launching "#StayingGlobal". What do we need to know to keep our prior investments sound while managing current conditions? #GlobalExpansion sloanreview.mit.edu/article/what-g…

@briansolis @Dan_Jeffries1 #Truth + highly effective operations folks with a big picture orientation to connect the philosophical to the operational.

@Dan_Jeffries1 🎯 The future of AI does not need more prophets. The future needs leaders people can trust. briansolis.com/2026/04/fear-i…

Jensen is one the smartest and most far seeing folks the world. "If an AI scientist warns people that AI is going to permeate across radiology and radiologists are going to get wiped out, it might seem helpful but it's hurtful. If we convince everybody not to be radiologists and we now need radiologists, that actually is hurtful to society. "It is hurtful to convince all the young college graduates not to study software engineering because we are going to need more software engineers than ever. That's hurtful." "Scaring people with nonsensical things, which are not going to happen, that this is an existential threat, there's a 20% chance that is is existential, that's ridiculous. "That it's going to wipe out 50% of college level jobs. "That is it going to completely destroy democracy. "These kinds of comments are not helpful. They are made by...CEOS. And you become a CEO, maybe you adopt a God complex and somehow you know everything." Brutal. And right.

In this week's roundup: * America's exploding national debt * Maybe AI cyberattacks aren't so bad? * Phone bans in schools are good * AI is taking some coding jobs * Millennials are doing fine * Public order is good * YIMBYism is slowly winning in CA noahpinion.blog/p/roundup-81-b…

Tech and comms stocks now make up more than 40% of the US market—the most for one industry since the railroads in the 1800s.

This is a brilliant interview by @nxthompson - great questions, good push back and finally a conversation on the role of synthetic data youtube.com/watch?v=i9yXrd…

@jacksondahl @nxthompson Looking forward 👌

Nicholas Thompson is a disciplined machine (Atlantic CEO, record-holding runner, perpetual achiever) and a wholehearted human (insatiable interviewer, loving father, lifelong student). I talked to @nxthompson about what makes words worth reading in an AI world, the discipline of long form, and what compounds when you keep showing up. Nick is the CEO of @TheAtlantic, the American record holder in the 50K, and the author of The Running Ground—a book about inheritance, pushing oneself, and remembering that life remains richer than we can possibly know. We discuss whether I am a journalist; why The Atlantic matters, great editing and coaching; lessons from David Remnick and the gift of commercial constraints from Laurene Powell Jobs; daily momentum and how tiny tailwinds compound; getting paced to a 5-minute mile by his 15-year-old son; inheritance and Nick's exuberant, chaotic dad; the part of Nick's book that he's never been asked about; and why we are capable of much more than we think.

@TheAtlantic @DavidBrooks224 A sobering truth!

Tradwives baking cookies; a rising mistrust in vaccines; the return of 19th-century-style great-power politics. Everywhere you look, history is running backwards, @DavidBrooks224 argues. He examines what it may mean for the future: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

@TheAtlantic Yep

Patients are piling up in emergency rooms across the country while waiting for a real hospital bed—and “once they enter ED boarding, patients exist in a gray zone,” Elisabeth Rosenthal reports. theatlantic.com/health/2026/04…

Silicon Valley and the Vatican may “seem like strange bedfellows”—but they each have something to gain from the other, @EliasWachtel argues. He examines why Big Tech is listening to priests and theologians who want to shape the future of AI: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

@TheAtlantic Probably driven more by increasing economic constraints than any social dimensions.

Literature about women living together is proliferating—and these stories are offering alternative visions to the nuclear family, Lily Meyer writes.

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

What lessons is China drawing from the Iran conflict? The utility of a blockade will be reaffirmed --the PLA is already planning for it. But BJ can't achieve its goal of taking Taiwan with a blockade or a quarantine. It will need boots on the ground. @jenni__marsh. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Author Rama Dasgupta explores the fall of nation states by regional empires in After the After Nations: The Making and Unmaking of a World Order and the decline of American pre-eminence on the world stage by its own unwitting design. #GlobalBusiness politico.com/newsletters/fo…

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

Fertilizer supply, Russian wheat, Chinese steel exports and Brazilian corn and soybean meal top the list of products affected by the #StraitofHormuz closure (at least, for today). #GlobalBusiness #Geopolitics #Trade #Import #Export linkedin.com/posts/shipping…
