⚡️Children remember the moments when the family becomes fully alive. That is the core. Vacation is just the common vessel. A child does not encode childhood as a spreadsheet of responsible parenting. They encode atmosphere. They remember the motel pool, the gas station stop, the smell of sunscreen, the weird restaurant, the long drive, the sunset, the parents laughing differently, the feeling that normal life cracked open and something larger appeared. That is why ages 5 to 10 hit so hard. The child is old enough to form durable narrative memory and young enough for the world to remain enchanted. Parents still feel mythic. A beach, cabin, lake, theme park, road trip, or even a cheap rented house can become sacred geography. The real mechanism is interruption of routine plus emotional safety. Ordinary life teaches stability. Trips create myth. The family leaves the repeating loop of school, work, chores, screens, exhaustion, and time pressure. For a few days, the child experiences parents outside their normal roles. Mom and dad are no longer just managers of homework, food, discipline, bedtime, and logistics. They become companions inside an adventure. That imprints. The money matters far less than parents think. Luxury is mostly adult vanity. Children remember intensity, freedom, attention, surprise, and togetherness. A $200 trip can beat a $10,000 trip if the child feels wonder and the parents are emotionally present. Many adults are starved because their childhood had no sacred interruptions. Everything was duty, stress, survival, noise, pressure, or emotional absence. No mythic family scenes. No private homeland in memory. No recurring proof that life could be warm and strange and alive. That matters for the adult psyche. People draw from childhood memories during loneliness, fear, ambition, loss, and love. Those memories become inner architecture. Deepest compression: a good childhood is not built only by protection. It is built by unforgettable shared worlds. Take the kid somewhere. Break the loop. Make the ordinary world disappear for a few days. That becomes part of them forever.

Our Robotic Operation for Autonomous Delivery and Sustainment (ROADS) Prize Challenge is now live. Over two decades ago, the @DeptofWar helped plant the seeds for the driverless car industry via the DARPA Grand Challenge. Driverless cars are now operational in cities across the country - increasing utilization, lowering accident rates, and improving efficiency. It’s time for the DoW to harvest the benefits of those investments and advancements. The Defense Innovation Unit and the @USArmy are launching a $30,000,000 prize challenge for Robotic Operation for Autonomous Delivery and Sustainment (ROADS) to bring the best of consumer driverless car technology to the Department’s non-tactical vehicle (NTV) fleet to support on-installation logistics. “We’re looking for consumer-proven technology to help bring the benefits our Department personnel enjoy off-installation, onto the installation,” said David Payne, Acting Autonomy Portfolio Director at DIU. Submissions open through June 8 at 23:59:59 Eastern Time. Learn more and apply here: diu.mil/work-with-us/s…

@FLLFlyer @JetBlue Train from South Florida to Orlando was sabotaged by Disney Corporate. Not Airlines fault, just facts. DeSantis was right about Disney on many levels.

To celebrate its first flight from #FLL to Orlando (#MCO) today, @JetBlue hosted a pre-flight guest appreciation event at the gate in Terminal 3. Here are some snapshots of the Disney-themed festivities with crew members commemorating the new service with departing passengers. This new twice-daily route to Orlando was originally announced in January. Book your flight now or get more schedule details at bit.ly/4fuB40Y. bit.ly/4o1qocF *FLL is a service of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners

I am the VP of People who wrote our AI-First Hiring Policy. The one that requires every manager to prove AI cannot do a job before they're allowed to request headcount. I got the idea from Shopify's CEO. He posted a memo saying teams need to demonstrate why AI can't handle the work before asking for more people. Our CEO forwarded it to me with one word: "This." I had a policy drafted in 48 hours. Approved in one meeting. No pilot. No committee. Seven pages, twenty-three questions, effective immediately. The form asks managers to document a 90-day AI automation pilot before any requisition is reviewed. Attach transcripts. Provide measurable outcomes. Explain what you tried, when, and why it failed. Nobody completes it. That's the point. Since January, 340 headcount requests have come in. I've approved 11. The rest get a templated response: "We encourage you to explore AI-augmented workflows before resubmitting. Resources available in #ai-transformation." That Slack channel has nine posts. Six are mine. One is a vendor who somehow got added. A director in customer success actually tried. She ran Claude on escalation calls for two months and submitted her documentation. The AI told a customer disputing a $4,200 charge to "consider whether this frustration might be an invitation to reexamine your relationship with material attachment." She sent me the transcript with the subject line "Here is my proof." I denied the requisition. Insufficient pilot duration. Policy says 90 days. She'd done 60. I told her the early results showed "promising engagement with the tooling" and encouraged her to continue. She quit in March. I listed her departure under "natural efficiency optimization." I personally tried using AI once. I asked it to draft a standard headcount denial. It wrote: "We understand the strain your team is experiencing, and want to assure you this decision was not made lightly." I deleted it immediately. Way too empathetic. I replaced it with what we actually send: "Please reference the AI-First Framework (Section 4.2) and resubmit when assessment criteria are met." The AI had more compassion than my actual process. I noted that as a limitation of the tool. Here is what's actually happening. The average employee at our company now covers 2.3 roles. I know this because I calculated it for a board slide. I presented it as "AI-enabled capacity expansion." The board loved that phrase. It sounds like technology. It's actually just people. Nobody says "I'm doing three jobs." They say "I'm still figuring out how to leverage AI for this." Because saying you can't handle the workload means admitting you haven't tried the tools. Admitting you haven't tried the tools means questioning the policy. Questioning the policy means a meeting with me. One director did question it. At an all-hands. In front of 200 people. He asked if anyone in leadership had personally used AI to replace a function of their own role. I enrolled him in a Growth Mindset Workshop. It's 90 minutes. It goes on your file. He resigned three weeks later. That's one more headcount we didn't have to deny. It self-resolved. My own team is fully staffed. People Operations is exempt from the AI-First policy. "Human nuance required for sensitive organizational matters." I wrote that clause. I also approved three new hires on my team last quarter — an AI Ethics Coordinator, a Workforce Transformation Analyst, and a Change Adoption Specialist. Their job is to help everyone else do more with less. Meanwhile, we posted a job listing last week. "Head of AI Strategy." $280,000 base. Reports to me. We received 1,400 applications in 48 hours. We are simultaneously running a hiring freeze and hiring. The board just approved my promotion. Chief People & AI Transformation Officer. $90,000 raise. They cited my work in "avoiding $18 million in headcount costs." I calculated that number by taking every denied requisition and multiplying it by average fully-loaded comp. That's not savings. That's arithmetic performed on a thing that didn't happen. But on a slide it looks like savings. On an investor call it sounds like strategy. I still don't know what AI can actually do. I spent eleven minutes with it and it was nicer than me. But I know what the policy is for. People do the work. The headcount goes down. When headcount goes down after you say "AI," the AI gets credit. No one checks who's actually doing it. No one will. Because checking means admitting the policy doesn't work. And the policy is working beautifully. The people doing three jobs are the proof. If they weren't here, we'd need to hire. Since we didn't hire, something must be handling it. As long as nobody looks too closely at what that something is, it's AI.

@adultarts @okx Your dad sounded like a great guy; supportive regardless. Sorry for your loss.

The last few visits I had with my dad, were spent watching alot of soccer. While he was my best friend, & always supportive, he got sick before crypto was seen as legitimate. (He was a lawyer in DC - times were just different) It may sound silly, but seeing the @okx logo on the @ManCity jerseys helps convey to those outside our industry the legitimacy of OKX as a financial institution. Partnerships like this are not only good for OKX, but for our industry as a whole. Sports are universally understood, and encourage camaraderie & passion around a shared interest - much like crypto. And winning teams, only surround themselves with winning teams. 🤝 I wish more than anything I could have watched the game with my dad today. But I find comfort in knowing how many special memories were made amongst millions of other families & friends, and honored that even if subliminally, OKX played a small role in these moments. One day the whole world will be on the new money app. Until then I feel blessed to be rooting for so many winning teams today ✨
