Hi Reader:
At my art class this week, I met a woman who spent $1,500 on AI training. She got reimbursed — lucky woman. But she's not alone. People are dropping hundreds of dollars a year (or more) on tools and courses that do what you can already do with AI for free.
AI is still at the very beginning of its journey. It's still changing. A lot. Which means today's training is tomorrow's fish wrapper.
That's what this week's post is about. Use AI as it is. Right now. Start with what you need to advance your biz. Don't worry so much about the rest. It's easy to fill like that kid with his finger in the hole, holding back the water. But you don't need to throw money at every big-promise solution with an equally hefty price tag.

What I'm Reading
🔵 AI isn't taking people's jobs. Here's what's really happening. "A simple and accurate explanation for the wave of white-collar layoffs sweeping across industries is becoming increasingly clear: AI isn’t replacing white-collar workers. It’s displacing the cash once used to pay them, with companies cutting corporate payrolls to help fund their pushes into data centers and other AI-focused investments." [Quartz]
🟢 AI's big payoff is coordination, not automation — "AI makes translation cheap and general. It does this in two ways: It extracts structure from unstructured information, making it usable, and it then employs this usable information to get work done. For the first time, coordination becomes possible without consensus, which means it can be extended to professional arenas where it was previously too difficult or costly." [Harvard Business Review]
🟠 We’re still early to AI — and your team needs more help than you think — "We talk about AI like it’s everywhere. Like everyone’s using it. Like we’re in the late innings. We’re not. We’re in the second inning. Maybe the third. The companies that win the next few years won’t just be the ones with the best AI strategy. They’ll be the ones who actually got their teams using these tools day-to-day." [SaaStr]
