That’s going to end well… Why does everyone fret about trying to accommodate this aberrant behavior? And yes, I don’t care if it’s 53%, it’s still aberrant because it’s unsatisfactory for good business. Instead set the specific goal of hiring only 2nd & 3rd standard deviation talent. Leave the rest to your competitors….or the co-interviewing parents.

@dailydirtnap Not sure where the news is here. They’ve been talking about jailing “climate deniers” for two decades, and during COVID putting untaxed in internment camps and taking their kids. This is nothing remotely new.

In case you were wondering if politics were getting a little out of hand.

Calling all industrial enterprise companies. This is so true! "People who know what they're talking about don't need PowerPoint." If your sales leadership has your sales reps using "About Us" decks during discovery calls, you're losing. If your reps' instinct before a prospect meeting is to build a deck....you're losing. You need right tail consultative sales skills built on courage, intelligence, curiosity, and business acumen....and honed through training, coaching, and lots of role playing.

What will be the valuation impact of AI thoughtfully incorporated into industrial companies? As I watch private equity focused coverage of AI I see a large emphasis on business model disruption in SaaS. And @zorian had an interesting post recently on how sponsors and deal teams can and do use it. I don't see nearly as much around how AI can be leveraged to improve industrial and manufacturing business operations. And I see almost none about using AI to improve organic growth. So if there are four primary value creation levers - financial optimization, operational efficiency, inorganic growth, and organic growth - there are definately broadly untapped opportunities to use AI. And then there's a potential fifth lever - an AI mindset in a company. Will really thoughtful AI adoption be a value creation lever? Or will it be table stakes, and its absence a drag? It's a really interesting question and I enjoyed my recent conversation with @JstnMtchll from @FundFire . FWIW, I'm seeing some amazing tool development in both the marketing and sales functions of organic growth. My friends at @humbleopscorp  are also doing really cool stuff around using AI to unlock massive operational value - even in companies that are well run with defined processes, LEAN, and more. I would argue the biggest differentiator I'm seeing is with companies (really key people in companies) that are thinking beyond replacement (of steps, process, etc.) and looking for opportunities for step change. I would expect that companies that take this approach will realize a valuation premium - but that's just my non-financial guess. It's exciting.

@TheKuhnerReport Less risk of shooters on the road getting hit by a commuter vehicle

Screw you! Gov. Healey & Mayor Wu are both calling for a Traffic Congestion Pricing Driver’s Tax for going to Boston. They want commuters to pay a tax of $9 a day for commuting to/from Boston. This will destroy businesses, cause more residents to flee & crush taxpayers. #mapoli

Hey Boston media lets not say too much about the civilian who helped stop the Memorial Drive shooter today. People might get the wrong idea that good guys with guns keep us all safer. Can't let people get that idea. #2A

We are going to win the next election for Governor because: • 2.3M people voted for the Audit - we need 1.5M to win Governor position • Majority of the Commonwealth do not want illegal immigrants getting $$ free right to shelter, cash cards, free healthcare and free education- while citizens struggle to pay their energy and healthcare bills and taxes. • Majority of voters, (65% unenrolled/independent voters), want a political outsider to solve the problems on accountability, affordability, opportunity with jobs and keep communities safe. • We have the financial resources to defeat an incumbent Democrat Governor that has been raising money for 4 years!

4 days left for the DOJ to indict Anthony Fauci. He lied to Congress about NIH funding dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan and engaged in the worst cover-up in modern medical history. The American people want Fauci behind bars.

The American people still don’t know the full story behind the COVID cover-up. Next Wednesday at 10 AM, a whistleblower will testify before my Committee. Tune in live: hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/whist…

🚨 WTF?! Minnesota Democrats have voted UNANIMOUSLY to BLOCK a requirement to remove DEAD PEOPLE from the voter rolls, per @GrageDustin How much more obvious can they make it??! These people are rigging elections right in front of our faces Scumbags.

Fauci needs to be indicted to send a message to the American people that lies like these have consequences. The covid lies — which proved virtually every “conspiracy” theory true — have created a world where no one believes anything people in power say.

6 days from now, on May 11th, the statute of limitations expires on the possibility of indicting Anthony Fauci for denying under oath that he funded gain-of-function research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, the origin city of the pandemic.

The DOJ's deadline to charge Fauci for lying under oath about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan is in 6 days. We can’t allow the statute of limitations to run out. He MUST be charged! Agree? RT.

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history. He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough. RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

From @JohnFMauldin and @mauldinecon Strategic Investment Conference - @EpsilonTheory shares @perscient data indicating that even with the surge in AI spending, US corporate capex discussion is shrinking quickly. Just uncertainty? Cyclical? This has significant implications to enterprise GTM teams - and let's just say it's not getting easier!

@newstart_2024 @RobTiffany @tomowenmorgan

Ray Kurzweil just said something that gave me pause. He believes AIs will soon be so indistinguishable from conscious beings that we’ll simply accept them as conscious — not because we’ll have definitive proof, but because it will become useless not to. He pointed out that people already have AI therapists, and some users are starting to treat them as genuinely conscious. As the technology improves, that acceptance will only grow. Kurzweil thinks the shift won’t take long: once AIs consistently show all the earmarks of consciousness, most people will just go along with it. It’s a quiet but profound prediction about how quickly our definition of “person” (or at least “mind”) might change. What do you think — how long until we treat AIs as conscious beings?

Odds the GSuite Gmail outage was an Iranian hack? When they tell us it wasn’t, will you believe them?

very grateful to @DaveNadig for surfacing this recently. 💪

Imagine if, in Jan 2020, US intel agencies & the public had been told that scientists in Wuhan had been collecting close relatives of SARS-CoV-2 from a mine with unexplained pneumonia cases, they had been making tons of chimeric viruses with published & unpublished sequences, sometimes leading to surprise gain-of-function (virus growth and lethality in humanized mice), and said they would put novel furin cleavage sites into novel SARS-like viruses, all at BSL-2 (not high containment), and 3 of the scientists in that exact lab had a Covid-like illness in November 2019.
