Matt Rouse (Author) 🇨🇦🍁🐔

Finally got blocked by someone again for writing a book about the current status and future of #AI in business.

I also talk about drones, robots, self driving and posit that #UBI is needed now, before it’s too late, to protect our workers.

Block me and stick your head in the sand. I dare you.

#USMNT is trending and if you don't know what that is, it's an organization that helps people discover that I wrote the book, "Will AI Take My Job? 2" which is available now on Amazon in multiple formats. 🤣

Want to support small business and trade within Canada? Subsidize Canada Post 🍁 to deliver packages cheaper. The economic benefit outweighs the cost.

It's insane that companies outside Canada can ship things to us cheaper than we can ship things to ourselves.

(and support unions & postal workers)

No one has blocked me for several days now, so here’s a picture of me and the second book I wrote to educate people about #AI, business, and the workplace.

I love it when a few fellow authors hate me for writing about AI more than they like supporting all authors.

Any advice for a non-fiction book author trying to move into Science Fiction?

Punk isn't dead. It's Disaster Scenes by Codefendants.

Thrash Metal at Tipping Point.

Pop Punk isn't dead, it's just Bowling for Soup.

Many GenX haven't heard new music since they left high school. They're missing a world of new music in "dead" genres.

Baby Metal+Electric Callboy exists, people!

This may end up being a good thing, though unfortunately the jobs aren’t evenly distributed. So we will end up with layoffs in information work and shortages in medical and trades.

When you get your book in print, it just hits different than the digital version.

I recommend authors set it on the table while they have a warm beverage. You’ll be surprised how often a conversation will pop up about it.

Don’t let people tell you that #marketing has to be one way or another, without at least putting forth some kind of evidence.

Some are doing well being “more human” and people are scaling with “AI slop.”

Maybe it’s more about knowing your audience?

TROGDOR!!!!

What if being weird is what moves the needle? I’m great at being weird. I’ve always been weird. Weird is my thing.

People used to tell me that my “weird” posts (like chicken vidoes 🐓) looked unprofessional. But by today’s standards I am way ahead of the “being more human” curve!

(Con’t)

Maybe I’m old and cynical but everyone yelling, “be MORE human and that’s how you win at marketing” is bascially wishful thinking and not advice with any impirical evidence.

They might be right. But they also might not be.

Welcome to NS!

I was never going to get a tattoo, but now that I've seen this...

How old do people need to be to understand the system of dirty politicians causing problems and then pointing at the problems they caused as the reason people should elect them? (again)

I figured this out by about 17... and I remember feeling at the time that I had taken too long to realize it.

I live in Nova Scotia, so reading during hurricanes is a hobby of mine also.

NS author news 📚💙
Matt Rouse (Port Royal) wrote his latest book at Sissiboo Cafe in Annapolis Royal. “Will AI Take My Job? 2” is about the future impacts of Artificial Intelligence on jobs, organizations, and businesses.
Available on Amazon and coming soon to local bookstores across Nova Scotia.

"and just before he bled out, [something unexpected happened]" :)

Thanks @booksrme.bsky.social. The Sissiboo Cafe in Annapolis is delightful.

"...she was greeted with a blast of the ocean air coming off the Annapolis River Basin. She walked down the stone steps and strode across the rainbow-painted crosswalk to the pier. Though the view was as stunning as ever, she was distracted. Something about the man in the bakery wasn’t quite right."

Might be the calm before the storm!

Living on a hobby farm with my fam, pets & 51 chickens, I feel grounded in reality while writing about the future of #AI. #Booksky 📚 #auhtorsky

If you get a Sora2 key & don't want it. Instead of spitting on the ground in disgust and deleting it, please fire it my way so we can do testing.

I literally wrote the book on AI and jobs & I would like to put this video model through the paces. I'll let people know that you think it's bad. #Sora2

I wrote that a person "Partnering with AI" (of many kinds) or a business who has AI-assisted productivity will cause other businesses or departments of companies to be shut down. If you refuse to be AI-fluent, you are inviting obsolescence.

Nearly everyone I talk to is convinced #AI couldn't take their job or replace their business. I'm not so sure and I spent the last 3 years researching this topic.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed. I've seen sh*t you wouldn't believe.

Congratz on the birthday. It was Car Wars wasn't it? :)

If you come down Annapolis Royal way, there is a writer's group here and a cute coffee shop where 2 of my books were written.
