The Pentagon just blacklisted an AI model from autonomous weapons because they believe it’s 15-20% sentient. Meanwhile, most people are just using AI to write emails. I just sat down with Nick D'Ambrosio, CEO of NOMADICS and a defense contractor who builds unmanned combat systems for the U.S. Navy. His take on the future is a massive wake-up call. Here are 3 hard truths from our conversation: 1️⃣ AI is the Wild West, but it’s not magic.Nick’s firm has used AI for 15 years. His rule? AI does the 80% junior work; humans do the final 20% decision-making. But the race to build the best model right now has zero guardrails. 2️⃣ The generational knowledge gap is permanent.The world the older generation thrived in doesn't exist anymore. Nick argues that traditional "boomer knowledge" is largely irrelevant to the modern economy. We are facing a digital literacy crisis, and half the workforce isn't ready. 3️⃣ Geopolitics is moving faster than we can map.From the Canadian electrical grid to orbital defense systems for Space Force, the infrastructure of the next decade is being built right now—and most of us have no idea it’s happening. Nick accidentally stumbled into defense contracting after responding to the BP oil spill. Now, he’s building the systems that keep the world running. This is one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve had on the podcast. Watch the full breakdown here: youtube.com/watch?v=taCzcN… What’s your take—should AI ever be allowed to make life-or-death decisions? Let me know below. 👇
Today we honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson, who debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers OTD in 1947. We celebrate his courage and determination, his brilliance on the baseball diamond, and his grace and dignity beyond the playing field. Jackie’s influence has spanned the generations. From the legends who followed, to the current greats, and the stars of tomorrow. We are all grateful for all he gave to our game. #Jackie42
