Why AI Is Making the Most VALUABLE Human Skill Worthless

We’re living through the most answer-rich moment in human history. Need a market analysis? A product brief? A launch strategy? AI can generate something polished in seconds. Some of it still makes my jaw drop. But there’s a growing risk inside companies that I don’t think leaders are talking about enough: Fast answers can create the illusion of understanding. Increasingly, organizations are mistaking speed for insight. A few months ago, my team at SurveyMonkey noticed an uptick in customer churn

The Next AI Breakthrough That Will Seem OBVIOUS Later

I’ve spent the last several months writing about what I believe is the central problem in enterprise AI. Not the models. Not the prompts. Not the context windows. Not even the agents. The architecture. Across a series of articles, I argued that large language models were never designed to run companies. Companies operate through memory, context, state, constraints, permissions, incentives, workflows, and feedback loops. Language models operate by predicting the next token.  That mismatch explain

Apple's WEIRD Solution to Car Sickness Actually WORKS

I'll just work from the car, I thought. But after a few minutes of staring at my screen on quick mountain switchbacks I could feel the first signs of cold, coagulated nausea bubbling up from that sweaty place in my gut. I looked to the horizon for relief, but nothing helped… until I remembered Apple's magic dots.

The Y2K Camera Comeback That's Making NOSTALGIA Cool Again

Despite being an objectively terrible digital camera, the Kodak Charmera has been incredibly popular thanks to a cheap price tag and several fun retro designs inspired by the iconic 1987 single-use Kodak Fling. Instead of entirely rethinking that formula, Reto, the company licensing the Kodak brand, is following up on the original Charmera with a Millennium Edition.

PopSockets Just Made Your Phone Grip INVISIBLE
