If you’re not already doing so, get involved in a non-profit or volunteer work.

It will fill a hole in your heart and soul that you didn’t know existed and work will never satisfy.

Just do it.

Introducing ultrathink.

The new AI newsletter that no one needed. 

Let me rephrase. 

There are way too many mediocre AI newsletters. And you don't need another one of those.  

You don’t need that noise.
I promise you the most actionable AI newsletter in 2 minutes.

What you’ll get (on Tuesdays):
1) tested playbooks from execs & leaders winning w/ AI
2) curated internet gold + smart commentary
3) exclusive invites to live AI events (that don’t suck)
4) verified prompts 
5) one piece of AI jargon clearly broken each week

shouldn't be a hot-take, but if you're not working to become ai-native, you're falling behind. 

lots of companies & execs are getting to phase 1 of AI adoption (read: tool use), and then stopping. 

but the biggest gains are going to happen as entire products & processes are rebuilt to be ai-first. 

the next chapter of my career is dedicated to helping people & businesses cross the chasm & here are some of the ways we're doing it: 

1) applied AI show

human-in-the-loop is our weekly AI show that breaks down proven AI workflows being used by professionals in their day-to-day.

Your AI code sucks because you're a little lazy.

That's okay, but if you handed a junior employee foggy, half-baked instructions — they’d screw it up too. AI’s no different.

Ryan Carson (Builder in residence at Amp) built a 3-file workflow inside Cursor that forces clarity and kills chaos.

Here’s how it works:
 – A PRD rule that writes specs even a sleep-deprived intern (or model) can follow
 – A task generator that turns fuzzy ideas into precise, check-boxable steps
 – A task-runner rule that ships one subtask at a time, waiting for your go before it moves

If that doesn’t sound sexy to you, you’re a 1x engineer.

Ryan's walking through it today at 4 PM ET on Human in the Loop.

This guy has racked up 300M views exclusively with AI-only commercials. 

PJ Accetturo spent 10 years making commercials the old-school way. 7-figure budgets. Massive crews. 

In May, he said f*** that.

Now, he runs an AI-native ad agency working with brands like Disney, Ramp, and Kalshi. 

PJ shared his play-by-play method for producing next-level creative from his office chair.

1) scroll-stopping idea
2) storyboard
3) pictures to videos
4) voices & sounds
5) edit & ship it

Check out the full process & use it for everything from launch videos to product demos to paid ad creative: https://lnkd.in/gTPfRmCQ

Engineering is living in the future (thx to AI).

It sounds hyperbolic, but the best engineers I know are actually 10x more productive now.

This arbitrage won't last forever, but if you have A+ fundamentals + a mastery of AI workflows, you are at a massive advantage.

So I'm bringing in one of the best AI engineering voices in the world to show you the way.

Ryan Carson is joining this week's live episode of Human in the Loop to share his battle-tested AI coding workflow.
- Founder for 25 years who's exited 3 companies
