If no one owns the call, no one learns from the failure.
AI didn't decide, the algorithm didn't decide, but someone in the room did.
Put your name on it.
Otherwise you're just laundering instead of leading.
Stanford tested 11 AI models on 12,000 prompts and found that AI affirmed users 49% more than humans do - even when those users were wrong, deceptive, or about to cause harm.
One interaction made people less willing to apologize, whihc means sycophancy is teaching us to never be wrong.
It was inevitable that this would go viral..the world is concerned about AI and we need new norms and ethics…115 million views and counting

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
AI writing if A-OK if you're a billionaire. My @FortuneMagazine oped -fortune.com/2026/09/09/ai-wr…
Discernment is the ability to choose what matters when everything sounds confident.
The world is drowning in plausible answers.
The premium has shifted to people who know which one to pick.
AI will never make an Einstein....there are things only humans can do!

AI writing is A-ok if you’re a billionaire. For everyone else, it can be a career-ending scandal. linkedin.com/pulse/ai-writin…
Microsoft surveyed 319 knowledge workers using AI.
The variable that predicted whether AI helped or hurt them?
Not technical skill.
Not the tool.
Self-confidence.
People who trusted themselves used AI well.
People who deferred to it got worse.
Just a reminder the "blue books" are back and a good time to ensure higher educators are rethinking how to assess students in the AI era.
MIT JUST CANCELED “AI DETECTORS” IN A NEW REPORT!
MIT just kicked the detector industry in the teeth.
They kicked to the curb unless “AI Detectors” and just wrote a manifesto to all schools to do the same.
Its end days for The Slop Janitor and his Pentagram Slop.

I’m glad Bill Gates is speaking out on AI - we are truly not the least bit prepared for many of the economic and social impacts.

Bill Gates is right on this.

I would strongly urge the @WSJ to reconsider their stance on knowingly publishing fully AI-written content.
It breaks the social contract between the reader and the institution.
It is a race to the bottom.
Please reconsider.
Apparently AI writing is A-ok when you’re a billionaire white man in the WSJ.
For everyone else, it can be a career-ending scandal.
Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller gets called out for an apparently AI-assisted WSJ op-ed today, and his defense (and others agreeing) is pretty reasonable:
People have always used ghostwriters. AI is just another tool in the writing room.
I honestly agree.
The issue I have is who we allow to get away with this and fair standards for all. Last month, 3 Black and female authors, Jeremy Falade, HM Wolfe and Mia Ballard, got publicly dragged, questioned and “cancelled” over AI use in their writing in the the NYTimes.
Yet when a wealthy billionaire man does it?
“Relax. He had some help. Presidents have speechwriters!”
here’s my proposal: Every op-ed should have a bibliography.
Not just for books, studies and articles. For AI, too.
For example: SOURCES:
— BCG study
— 5 interviews
— WSJ archives
— Gemini: brainstorming + first draft
— Claude: challenged argument
— Human: had original thought, rewrote half of it at end
This is the proof of sweat we all need in modern times.
We all know we need new rules, but make them the same for all, and don’t give preferential to a billionaire guy.

Last week, CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman said in a viral X post that he “cannot imagine” raising a newborn without ChatGPT thanks to AI's routine and sleep tips and AI generated morning podcasts.
The best response was the ultimate competitor to this parenting technology: Talking to my children
As a mom of a 6 and 7 year old, our morning commute podcast is extremely customized.
“Mom, he’s LOOKING at me.”
“Mom, I forgot my water bottle.”
“Mom. MOM. MOM.”
No off switch on this algorithm!
Here are my other competitor technologies: When my kids are struggling with something, I use another cutting-edge tool: asking another mom.
When they wont sleep, I say: “GO TO BED.” When we are running late for school, I yell: “SHOES! WE’RE LATE!”
When they seem quiet, I occasionally ask them a question and then, this part is wild, wait to hear what they say.
The best competitor to prompts, AI agents and AI generated morning podcasts is our live show every morning in the back seat of the car.
Maybe the most personalized parenting experience is cutting the noise and still being there for it!
These days, writing feels smoother and thinking feels thinner. Instead of 'brainrot' maybe we are now experiencing "polish rot."
