Sat night and it is Hockey night. The @Chicago_Wolves take on the Cleveland Monsters. Former Wolves goalie who made friends with my kid when he was here and now plays for Cleveland tossed him a special warmup pick.

Execs are treating AI as the new "Blinky Box that fixes everything" This is why we are screwed. Ai is a tool, but needs humans to truly make it effective. Once that lesson is learned maybe we can progress forward on things again. Welcome to the bubble that is/about to burst.

If you think you can't win, I need you to know that you are wrong. If you think that it isn't in you, I want to assure you that it is. If you think you aren’t smart enough or have enough talents, you do. In fact, Whatever it is, you can do it. You can. You will. Go do it.
