What I read/listened-to the week of 10/28?
What I read
- the ability to discover connections between texts at previously impossible scales.
AI is Eating Journalism, Education, and Creatives
- Perhaps the greatest long-term risk is the dependence that generative AI fosters. The more we rely on AI to produce news, educate students, and create art, the more we risk losing the very skills that make us human. Journalists, who once took pride in their ability to uncover hidden stories, may lose their investigative edge. Students may forgo deep learning for quick answers. Creatives may lose the very drive that pushes them to innovate.
From selling access to selling work (and what it means for you)
How to do sales with no experience
- As a founder, you are the best salesperson for your product. There will never be anyone as well qualified to sell your product. You get the what and why behind everything.
Overfunctioning: The Drive to Do it All, or When Helping Others Is Hurting You
- "Overfunctioning" refers to a pattern where someone takes on excessive responsibility for others, often to the point of neglecting their own needs, essentially "doing too much" to help others, even when it is not necessary, which can lead to burnout and stress due to the overwhelming workload they create for themselves; it's essentially when "helping others" starts to hurt you.
- The number of new SPVs exploded during the venture capital boom of 2021. While they have slowed down since then, it's clear the long-term trend is pointing upward.
How AI is Rewriting the SaaS Playbook
- We strongly believe all applications will become intelligent applications. Applications won’t survive if they don’t take advantage of data and have an AI-driven continuous learning system.
Have a great week ahead!
