The number of times I heard from people, there are no silver bullets with AI.

I just stopped writing it down in my notebook, right?

There are not.

The tech is great.

It doesn't matter if you don't implement with care and with skill.

There's great lessons for public policymakers in here about the right way to do it, the wrong way to do it.

So I think that's what I want them to know.

The tech can help you.

The people are going to be the thing that gets you to the end zone.

Yeah, and mine too.

I've got the number of people who have come up to me and said, I can't believe you use this stuff.

The hard line, to be honest, is do you think a defensive crouch is a strategy?

In what point of human history is curling up in a ball and saying, go away, ever done anything?

And so I would say...

learn the tools, they're actually not hard to learn, 20 minutes a day for a week, and you kind of get a sense of what an LLM can actually do for you.

You don't need to get advanced into agentic or coding, just understand what it can do, right?

And then try to figure out like, what do I not want it to do?

What are the behaviors I don't want it to do?

To me, the main issue is that we kind of got hypnotized by social media

where for the last 20 years, it kind of showed up on your phone.
