This picture from what's going on in France is INSANE!

For BarronTech sales:
AI finds companies to go after, researches the decision-maker, and helps draft my outreach. My final edits are mostly about taking some of the polish off the email so it looks like something I'd actually type.
no excuse for not doing outreach!
easier than ever
both political parties suck
one just happens to suck a lot more
I think our founding fathers would be pissed about overall state of leadership over the past 20-40 years
the part that annoys me is that money drives EVERYTHING
may the best idea and action plan win always, not who raises the most money and executes the best marketing campaign
My youngest, 5, is on the spectrum - and one of the most simple and amazing things happened.
On Sat night, I decided to take him to see Monster Jam because he LOVES cars, especially when they crash/break etc.
On the way to the show, I'm stressing about life in general, anxious as to how he'll handle the loudness, people, etc.
If you know about kids on the spectrum, they typically do not like loud noises because their body processes those signals much differently that most. It can be an incredibly painful experience for them.
I brought headphones, so I knew that would help.
So my mind is racing - then out of nowhere, as we're driving there, my son looks out the window and says "Daddy, look at the clouds!"
I look over and see the most amazing cloud formation, coupled with beautiful oranges, purples, pinks etc from the sunset.
I'm over here stressing out to the point where I'm not able to process the amazing things right in front of me.
Thank God for children, their wonder and making sure they keep us grounded in the simple things.
We ended up leaving Monster Jam about halfway through because it was becoming too much for him, but he did enjoy his time while we were there.
I'm doing so much stuff and not telling people enough about it.
So now, I have a weekly log created by my ChatGPT dot of what I accomplished, what I failed at, what I learned etc.
My plan is to share that with you more.

You're either going all in on AI, tokenmaxxing, automating everything you once did manually, moving from playing the instrument to conducting the entire orchestra...
Or you're going in the complete opposite direction. Learning ceramics, restoring old wooden furniture, bringing theater back (cinema is dead), organizing communal gatherings where nobody touches a phone, rediscovering what it means to be human in a world increasingly run by machines.
I genuinely believe there's no middle ground anymore.
The people caught somewhere in between, neither embracing the machines nor radically reclaiming the human experience, are the ones who will get wiped out.
The middle is where AI will eat everything.
if you find this post “racist” or “inflammatory”, you’re part of the problem
You can be compassionate - however, at the end of the day, you are responsible for charting your course.
You’ve never had this many tools or opportunities to build something yourself.
Stop being dependent on others, take responsibility and take action.
It’s ok to be sad, depressed or anxious.
It’s not ok to end your life because you see no ways out - there’s a gazillion ways out.
Find yours.

An entire generation of spoiled brats who’ve never built anything, stand on the crumbling empire they don’t deserve, built by great and courageous men who are now judged through the moral lens of the softest dorks living in the easiest times. Oy vey.
such an important concept to understand
tired of all these ad filled kids games on iOS so had my ChatGPT dot build one off one prompt and now it’s in TestFlight loading on my kid’s ipad

I’m 34, and I spent a good chunk of this year low-key stressed about not knowing what I want to do
Not in a crisis way. I like my job. I have autonomy, a good boss, and a cool team. But remote work gets lonely, and somewhere along the way I realized I was putting a lot of effort into something that isn’t mine
So I’ve got the side stuff. Consulting. Some real estate. Content. Building @StickToTheModel. Part curiosity, part me trying to figure out what I actually like
This fall I went on a couple trips with friends from high school. Turns out we’re all in the same spot
Where we landed:
You’re probably not getting rich from your 9-to-5. And a lot of people don’t love it anyway
So the job is the floor. The upside is what you do outside of it. Figure out how to make that pay you. That's when it gets fun
And it all starts with who you know
The older you get, the bigger the rolodex. You never know whose path you’ll cross again
So stay in touch
You must figure out how you will win in the new world.
You must.
I work in the AI industry. I burn about 1.5 billion tokens a week. Between personal and business I have 8 AI subscriptions. And I still think I am falling behind the accelerating rate of change. The last three months alone have been a quantum jump in capabilities. Nobody outside the industry understands how insane this is going to be. Like a whole other industrial revolution, but compressed into 10 years. Nobody is ready for the societal implications. It's going to be a 10.0 earthquake plus an F5 hurricane all at once, globally.
