I wrote a book about how to actually get real value out of AI. It's for CEOs and solopreneurs and skeptics and enthusiasts alike. It's the no-nonsense, bullshit-free guide that a lot of people need, but were afraid to ask for. You can pre-order it now.

@mims Debating whether to get the Audible version, since I have credits. Is that version unabridged? Are there are diagrams, etc. that are (obviously) lacking in it?

Moore’s Law, the march of microchip progress that took us from mainframes to iPhones, will end in 2040. Here’s the tech that could get us across the finish line, writes Christopher @Mims on.wsj.com/4r0fWBS

Everyone told Corning to sell its unprofitable fiber-optic business. Now, because of the AI boom, that division is powering the company’s stock to all-time highs, writes Christopher @Mims. on.wsj.com/4qrlQvI

How do you Ai? I asked @mims about his new book, if his job is at risk, and how Ai removes what he calls "toil," which very well could make our work more human. As the host of #BoldNames and columnist of @WSJ's "Keywords" column, practical Ai use cases are Christopher's bread and butter. For tech folks, you'll learn practical stories, for the uninitiated, you'll get caught up. 01:06 - Ai removes toil, not jobs 07:00 - Job disruption or new opportunities 09:23 - @Clorox uses Ai for previously impossible tasks 10:56 - Generative vs non-generative AI 12:49 - Is the construction industry at Ai risk? 14:57 - The urgency of adopting Ai 17:17 - Ai and law. A win for lawyers and consumers. 24:40 - Ai in Hollywood. Will it kill creativity? 28:40 - Tension of job loss and productivity gains 30:40 - Ai makes us more human 31:22 - Journalism in an AI World

Scientists who use AI have published three times more papers, received five times more citations, and reach leadership roles faster than their AI-free peers. But science as a whole is paying the price, the study suggests. Not only is AI-driven work prone to circling the same crowded problems, but it also leads to a less interconnected scientific literature, with fewer studies engaging with and building on one another. It's a classic social dilemma: what's good for individuals is bad for the collective. science.org/content/articl…

1000% this It's the primary reason I wrote How to AI, the slim, accessible volume that has the potential to onboard the next million (ten million?) people who could meaningfully change their lives with just a little bit of AI. Comes out TOMORROW sites.prh.com/how-to-ai

i follow AI adoption pretty closely, and i have never seen such a yawning inside/outside gap. people in SF are putting multi-agent claudeswarms in charge of their lives, consulting chatbots before every decision, wireheading to a degree only sci-fi writers dared to imagine. people elsewhere are still trying to get approval to use Copilot in Teams, if they're using AI at all. it's possible the early adopter bubble i'm in has always been this intense, but there seems to be a cultural takeoff happening in addition to the technical one. not ideal!

90% of lawyering is: (a) pattern recognition (calling it experience or intuition is cope) (b) choosing the right template & filling it out (c) reading & translating jargon (d) writing Guys - we are first up, and unlike the devs, most have no idea what's coming.

once claude code nails multi-agent workflows (parallelism + better handoffs for long-running tasks) it’ll an extinction-level event for large swaths of corporate work
