How to celebrate 200 episodes?
With 200 facts, stats and some hot takes.
Of course.
TBH, we’re not gonna try and recap each and every important aspect from today’s show.
Mainly because that would take like 50,000 words, and this newsletter is supposed to be a short and helpful resource.
So instead, we’re gonna break down the 3 most important topics and trends from the hour-plus deep dive that was today’s show.
And we’ll give you some related watching and listening for each.
Ready?
Let’s get it. 👇
1 – GenAI move fast 🏃♂️️
Looking back at our 100th episode seems like the dark ages. What’s changed?
What hasn’t changed?
There’s billion dollar lawsuits, new technologies and GenAI juggernauts have come and gone. (Literally)
The only constant in GenAI is the speed at which it moves.
Luckily, we’re legit here every (week)day keeping you up to speed.
Watch/listen to:
2 – We all need GenAI education 🧑🎓
Let’s start at the top -- actual AI education is needed.
There’s a problem in Generative AI.
The smartest people in the world are building it. Buuuuuuut, for the most part, we have a bunch of 20 year-old ‘influencers’ who are teaching it.
Granted, the big tech AI companies do have some good free training materials. We shared about our favorites in this newsletter.
But we’ve taught thousands of business leaders in our live courses about GenAI basics. And to be honest, sometimes we’re a bit shocked when we see the companies of people who attend.
We’ve been told countless times that GenAI education is one of the biggest threats to businesses — all companies know they need GenAI to stay competitive yet there’s legit no good place to learn.
(If you need some guidance, we JUST started providing this service to business leaders, big and small. First 5 people who use the code GenAI15 can save a bit!)
Watch/listen to:
3 – All companies should use GenAI ✅
Period.
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it before.
Generative AI isn’t a phase. It doesn’t follow the typical hype cycle. Sorry Gartner.
Generative AI is here to stay.
And it’ll be more disruptive than the internet and the computer combined. (Google’s CEO says AI would be more profound than fire and electricity, so our claims don’t seem too bold do they?)
Does your company use computers?
Does your company use the internet?
If you answered yes, then your company will need to make a quick pivot to GenAI.
