@zacjohnson @NoahEpstein_ Such a gap that us in the bubble miss. And much of what's shared is enterprise level, and trickling down. Instead of starting with the how people use it and the data that matters, and building up from there. People's misguided attempts hurt adoption as much as AI growing pains.

ELI5 (super short): Your AI Twitter feed shows you the 0.06% of power users → your brain thinks “everyone’s doing this already.” Meanwhile 84% of the planet has never touched AI and 82% of US businesses aren’t using it at all. It’s like being one of the first people with broadband in 2004 and thinking the internet is saturated → while most small businesses still don’t have a website. The biggest barrier isn’t cost or tech — it’s that 78% of executives say AI is moving too fast for their teams to learn. They know they need it. They just can’t implement it themselves. That gap between “AI can do anything” and “here’s AI actually doing something for your business” is where all the money is right now. The person who can explain it to a 55-year-old business owner and make it real wins every time. The window lasts maybe 3-5 years before tools go self-service and the gap closes — same arc as early web agencies. Big idea: You’re not late to AI — 6.8 billion people haven’t started yet, and the ones who bridge that gap now will build the next generation of agencies. 🏗️

If 14 MOPs were dropped, it would require at least 14 B-2 sorties (one MOP per plane per sortie), or possibly more aircraft, not 7 B-2s carrying two each. The widely reported claim that each B-2 carried two MOPs is not supported by the known weight and payload limits.

Two MOPs would weigh 60,000 pounds, which exceeds the B-2's payload capacity by 20,000 pounds. This means that, based on the official specifications, a B-2 cannot carry two MOP bombs at once. The math does not support the claim that each B-2 dropped two MOPs in a single sortie.

There is a clear discrepancy in the reported Iran MOP numbers: claim is 7 B2s carried 2 MOPs each. Each Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb weighs about 30,000 pounds. The B-2 Spirit bomber's maximum internal payload capacity is 40,000 pounds.

AI Fair use turned down for Ultraman in China, kinda like the Thomson Reuters decision a few weeks back? Meanwhile Japan's AI gets copyrightable content legally. #AICopyright #JapanAI #Ultraman #CopyrightLaw #ArtificialIntelligence #TechnologyLaw #AIandCopyright

Japan's 2 AI Copyright keys that make protect AI creators when allowing all copyrightable material in Japan to train AI, only train....not output. #AIandCopyright #JapaneseCopyrightLaw

In a world where AI quietly shapes our daily lives, artists and engineers are speaking different languages about creativity's future. What if copyright isn't just a battleground, but a bridge to ensure both human ingenuity and AI can thrive?

The opportunity isn't the hype wave - it's being ready for the moment AI becomes as ordinary and powerful as electricity. What about you - what would make AI actually (more) useful in your daily work?

That moment when the noise dies down and we focus on building tools creating value. I get excited about when AI feels as natural as using your smartphone. When the "AI experts" stop gatekeeping, and regular business owners start using these tools to compete with the big players

@DjBHOOT @Xylo_AI Will take a look, thanks!

@declandunn Hey Declan, we are building @Xylo_AI, an email assistant with the combination of AI and Social Psychology. We have been attending podcasts. Let me know if you would like to have Xylo AI CEO as a guest on your podcast. Have a great one!

@WarrenWhitlock I don't see the dance as grief free, it's about integrating the experience into you/your life. Grief buried is avoidance, grief empowered to take you over becomes a state of mind. Like a friend in a traffic accident, stuck in that moment. Grief can keep you stuck and free you.

I just heard someone say that grief is inevitable with age. “you’re always grieving someone” But is that required? Am I less of a person if I choose to live grief free? Not that I can.. just a thought ;)

The current lack of trust - from deepfakes to bot armies - because we can't verify who (or what) we interact with. "What we need is a link between any single post and who created it, ...right now, that's a trust assumption we have to place on X, which is behind it" @autonolas

Security and Privacy concerns ROI Uncertainty Barzan's company - Keebo - are solving this by flipping the model: 30-min setup 24-hour results Pay only for proven value When did we decide AI adoption had to be complicated? How do you align incentives with your AI Customers?

We're thinking about AI adoption all wrong. The barrier isn't the technology - it's how we sell and implement it. 4 Critical Blocks to Enterprise AI Adoption: Implementation Effort ("Just another complex beast") Maintenance Cost (CapEx + OpEx headaches)

"I don't think we came across a booth that didn't have the word AI on it somewhere. Statistically speaking, it's pretty unlikely every single vendor is using AI." @BarzanMozafari at a recent Snowflake Summit. and it perfectly captures today's AI credibility crisis.
