Last week, a prospect told me about an internal tool she cottage-coded for her team using AI. It was pretty cool - and yet! She hasn't rolled it out to her team yet. She wants to tweak it more - something only she can do with her expertise. β The more I learn about AI, the more confident I feel about my own job security.New here?

Its not a magic machine that's smarter than you.β You still have to train it vigorously, feed it a ton of documentation, and check its work regularly. Skip any of those steps and you get expensive, confident garbage. I'm noticing more and more, clients submitting AI-written docs to me that I have to send straight back because the content is just complicated, unusable, AI slop. I'm pretty over the AI-written marketing content that all sounds the same and is boring. I'm watching companies lay off whole teams and then have to rehire them once the tokens get too expensive while the output gets worse. AI is a tool. Tools are only as good as the hands holding them.

I had a call this week with a woman who makes gorgeous handmade + VERY custom client gifts. The gifts are each their own little piece of art. One piece took her six coats of paint and four hours standing in front of a laser cutter, making sure nothing caught fire. She is doing that DEEP WORK π π» Her project cycle is three months, start to finish. And for those three months, she does not have time to generate new leads. "I can't do the delivery and work on my own business at the same time," she...

Airtable was recently acquired by Bending Spoons. All signs point to this being VERY BAD for Airtable users, and the clock is now ticking to find a new tool.
