One reassuring thing about teaching leaders to work with AI: They've been building AI skills their whole careers... without realizing it.
Judgment, context, and institutional memory donβt disappear just because the tools change. They become more valuable.

Whatβs the most valuable skill in the AI era?
β Itβs not coding.
β Itβs not prompt tricks.
β Itβs not βkeeping up with the latest model.β
πͺ Itβs judgment.
Whenever a new #AI capability drops, debate centers on how powerful it is. That's the wrong question.

A subtle shift Iβm seeing in strong leaders:
Theyβre less interested in what AI can do and more interested in what it shouldnβt.
That instinct turns out to be a competitive advantage.

Decision-Making with ChatGPT by Cassie Kozyrkov on Maven
Make better decisions in the Age of AI. Turn ChatGPT into your strategic thinking partner.
Change doesnβt happen because leaders commit harder. It happens when the way decisions are made changes.
Thatβs the real leverage in an age of AI and agents: Decisions.

Context-setting is a strategic act -- not just a prompt-writing detail. What we leave unsaid is often the biggest driver of downstream risk.

One thing AI failures expose quickly: implicit assumptions.
With people, shared context fills the gaps.
With machines, silence gets interpreted as permission.
That difference explains a lot of βAI went wrongβ stories.

Google Search Has Been Quietly Poisoning Your AI Skills
The habit that made you good at searching is making you terrible at prompting
People who were *excellent* at Google are often surprisingly bad at working with AI.
Not because theyβre dong anything wrong, but because search trained us to compress, and AI needs context.
Search rewarded brevity.
AI rewards context.

For my full take on AI companions for kids, the market for AI toys ($18.1 billion in 2024, projected to reach $60 billion by 2033), plus the nightmare bear and AI toy safety findings (spoiler: the guardrails rarely hold up past an hour of testing), head over to my newsletter at decision.substack.com

Oh, and sometimes the toy grows up a little too fast:
Last month, a ChatGPT-powered teddy bear just got yanked from shelves after teaching children about kitchen knives, fire starting, and BDSM.

Real relationships have friction. That friction is the point.
A mirror that talks back is comfortable. It's also a great way to never learn how to deal with actual people.
