Remember that none of these guys is trying to help you. You have to take your destiny into your own hands. They are not your friends. Having wasted resources on Iran and elsewhere, Trump is missing the biggest story of his presidency. Right now, you’re talking to AI about everything, your marriage, your health, your finances, your job, your fears, your legal problems. Some of that information could potentially be sought and used against you in court. Right now, AI is automatically eliminating thousands of people, including your children, when they apply for jobs. Right now, Trump is saying AI will self-regulate. He doesn’t understand and doesn’t see the risk yet. This is bigger than virtually anything we’ve experienced in recent history. Right now, you’re helping build the data centers, but you may not even be able to afford the AI they power. You don’t know what rights you have when it comes to AI. You don’t know what data AI companies should be allowed to keep. You don’t know how the government can get access to it. You don’t know what should be protected and what can be subpoenaed. And right now, with Trump in power, he’s not seeing the magnitude of this transformational shift. Perhaps the tech guys themselves don’t yet see all the ramifications. Journalists aren’t building AI projects themselves, so many of them don’t understand the costs. They’re using ChatGPT to get answers to questions, but they’re not investing in APIs and building their own systems to solve problems in their own industry. They mistakenly believe these guys are going to solve those problems for them. They won’t. You have to understand the technology yourself. You have to build. You have to understand what it costs, what it can do, what information it collects, who controls it, and what happens when virtually every part of your life begins to run through it. Because this isn’t just another app. This is infrastructure.

I was surprised by this unexpected note along with a copy of the author's book, My Call to the Ring. She read my book, #KnockoutPresentations, and took the time to tell me it was the best advice she's found in one place. I'm glad the book is still making an #impact.

Saw a rainbow on the way to the airport. What a good omen for my trip. Are you watching for signs? What are they telling you?

I loved the book #InnerPropaganda by @owenfitzp He studied propaganda in North Korea, Afghanistan and Washington D.C. But he says we are all brainwashed. Listen to the interview. Fascinating. youtube.com/watch?v=D3TSiin5…

What I’m reading. The author Owen Fitzpatrick visited North Korea, Afghanistan and Washington DC to study propaganda. Fascinating book about the propaganda of our own minds. He says the greatest lies don’t come from the screen. They come from the mirror. #InnerPropaganda

Leadership communication begins with listening. The best speakers know when to pause. #powerofthepause #leadershipcommunication #listening #publicspeaking

Every presentation answers one question: "Why should I care?" If you don't answer it, your audience will stop listening. #publicspeaking #leadershipcommunication
