In Our Episode Today:
I'm coming off a month of art fair travel with my wife and I am taking a moment to reflect on some things on my mind.
This is a an AI and Human topic - but it also isn’t…
I touch on a bunch of things from our ventures up North…
- A stop at an old inn near Suttons Bay, and a porch sign advertising telegraph and cable messages, which sets up today's word
- A hike up Pyramid Point at Sleeping Bear Dunes, low signal, slower wifi, and why that was exactly right
- What a coffee mug reading "Fountain Point is for People" has to do with AI
- A conversation with an entrepreneur who was half right about a very important thing, and where he lost me
- What I'm hearing from kids and young colleagues navigating new AI tools, and what it reveals about how they see their own value
- A detour into the Book of Acts and why Paul's day job as a tentmaker might not have been as humble as it looks
Word of the Day: telegraph, noun and verb. From the Greek, tele meaning far, graphein meaning to write, far writing.
It came into English through French in the early 1800s as a device for sending compressed messages across distance.
But it's the verb I'm after this week, to telegraph something means to reveal your next move before you make it.
Sincerely,
Craig O'Neill
