Bad leadership loves AI. 

It's the perfect excuse to avoid harder questions.

Most organisations are still figuring out AI basics while racing to implement capabilities they don't understand.

Companies are rushing to add "AI" to everything because:

→ Fear of missing out
→ AI adds perceived value
→ Marketing loves buzzwords
→ Prices can be marked up 100%

But here's what they're missing.

Ignorant leadership doesn't understand that good AI output still requires human expertise, creativity, and time.

Real transformation happens when AI meets your unique business context.

Without that foundation, you're just adding expensive complexity to existing problems.

And your customers will notice. People can smell AI slop from a mile away.

When your product feels hollow, they'll take their business elsewhere.

AI acts as a mirror for your thinking. 

Bad thinkers get bad results. Great thinkers get exceptional results.

That's why the best AI implementations start with people, not products.

Good leadership invests in upskilling their people to leverage AI effectively, not replacing them with it.

Give your team access to the newest AI tools. Give them time to experiment. 

Let them build the expertise that actually moves the needle.

This is something I feel deeply passionate about.

If you don’t know where to start, I break down practical AI workflows and tutorials you can actually use.

Sometimes the first step is realising you don't have to figure it out alone.

Unitree's G1 humanoid undergoes brutal stress testing.

And I can't stop watching.

The robot in question is the Unitree G1 humanoid:

• 1.32m tall, 35kg build
• 23 degrees of freedom for human-like movement
• 2m/s walking speed
• Advanced 3D LiDAR and sensors
• 2-hour battery life
• $16,000 price tag

It’s even available to buy at Walmart.

G1 has now learned an "Anti-Gravity" mode.

This means that stability is greatly improved under any action sequence.

Even if it falls, it can quickly get back up in under 2 seconds.

The robot has essentially learned to “hack” physics.

You can see in the video that it uses the inertia from bouncing to perform some action.

Knock over the average human and we’ll be on the ground for at least a couple of minutes.

My takeaway:

Whilst “violence tests” are fun for attention.

I’m more interested in seeing real demos that people actually care about, like doing the dishes, vacuuming, laundry, etc.

Control for body mechanics is mostly solved right now.

But fine motor skills, specifically hand dexterity, are the real bottleneck.

When we achieve this and understand how to scale manufacturing, the future is unlocked.

P.S. He forgot to sweep the leg…

The gloves are off.

Anthropic just spent $8M to troll OpenAI. And it’s genius.

Their new Super Bowl ad announces one thing: Claude will remain ad-free.

They're using the most expensive ad platform on Earth to differentiate on being anti-ads.

None of the ads call out ChatGPT by name. But the target is obvious.

OpenAI confirmed last month that ads are coming to ChatGPT for free and lower-tier users.

Why this matters:

→ AI chatbots are becoming our most trusted advisors
→ We ask them about health, finances, relationships, career decisions
→ The moment ads enter that conversation, trust erodes
→ Your AI stops working for you and starts working for advertisers

My takeaway:

This is genuinely brilliant positioning.

Spending $8M on ads to say you don't do ads is the kind of irony that proves exactly why the ad model is so powerful.

It reminds me of Black Mirror's "Common People" where a brain surgery patient becomes a walking billboard due to a synthetic neural implant.

We laughed at that episode. Now we're watching the first chapter play out in real time.

First ads will make their way into AI chatbots.

When brain-computer interfaces roll out in the 2030’s and 2040’s where does humanity stand?

But perhaps the more immediate question:

Does 90% of Super Bowl spectators actually have a clue what these companies are fighting about?

I’ll be exploring this idea further in my newsletter this weekend.

NEWS: Okta just exposed AI's biggest blind spot.

Most companies aren't ready.

I sat down with Shiven Ramji, President of Auth0 at Okta, to find out what's being missed.

The problem is bigger than you think:

→ 80% of breaches already involve compromised identity
→ 91% of organisations are deploying AI agents
→ Only 10% have a governance strategy for managing them

Traditional security was built for deterministic apps.

AI agents are anything but.

They access sensitive data at machine speed, far faster than any human ever could.

4 things developers need to get right from day one:

1. Authentication 
↳ Verify the agent is working on behalf of who it claims

2. Human in the loop
↳ Sensitive transactions need async authorisation

3. Fine-grained permissions
↳ Ephemeral access that expires when the task is done

4. Secure connections
↳ No more static API keys scattered everywhere

The future Shiv predicts:

Memory will become tied to identity.

Right now, your context is locked inside each platform.

Eventually, you'll want to take your AI memory with you across tools.

My takeaway:

AI security is identity security.

You can't have one without the other.

The AI agent market is projected to hit $250 billion by 2034.

The companies racing to deploy without solving identity will learn this the hard way.

Use this system prompt in Claude to write humanised content.

Paste it directly into custom instructions.

1. Go to New chat
2. Add files, connectors, and more
3. Use style
4. Create & edit styles
5. Create custom style

This catches most issues before they happen.

But for text that's already written (or when you need to clean up existing AI content).

You’ll want to use the “master humaniser prompt”.

It walks the AI through a systematic humanisation process.

I built an AI version of myself.

It's trained on 100+ editions of my newsletter.

ElevenLabs just made this possible with their Agents platform.

Here's how I built "The Signal Brain" in 5 minutes:

1. Create a blank agent
↳ Head to ElevenLabs
↳ Select “Agents Platform” 
↳ Create a new agent from scratch

2. Upload your knowledge base
↳ I compiled all my newsletter editions into one document
↳ The platform uses RAG to vectorise and store your content
↳ Supports files up to 21MB each

3. Configure the system prompt
↳ Define the agent's role and personality
↳ Set the first message and system prompt
↳ Choose your LLM (I used Gemini 2.5 Flash)

4. Clone your voice
↳ I've already created my voice in ElevenLabs Studio
↳ Now my agent literally speaks like me

5. Publish and share
↳ Get a shareable link instantly
↳ Embed it on your website
↳ Let anyone interact with your knowledge

My takeaway:

What once required a team of engineers can now be done in minutes.
Whether you're a creator, educator, or business owner, you can now build an AI trained on YOUR knowledge that speaks in YOUR voice.

The best part is it’s available 24/7 for anyone to ask questions through text or voice.

This is the democratisation of AI agents in action.

P.S. I'll be sharing the link to try The Signal Brain in the comments below.

Everyone's focused on Google, Claude, and OpenAI. 

Amazon is AI's sleeping giant.

They just quietly dropped Nova Act. It builds browser agents for you.

→ Navigate websites autonomously
→ Fill forms and extract information
→ Handle bookings and purchases
→ Deploy to production with one command

How it works:

1. Prototype in their online playground (no setup needed)
2. Build in your favourite IDE (VS Code, Cursor, Kiro)
3. One CLI command deploys to AWS
4. Monitor performance through the console

Built-in human escalation means when the agent hits something it can't handle, it asks you, then continues.

My takeaway:

This reminds me of Google in early 2023.

Everyone counted them out after a few fumbled launches.

Now they're leading the AI race.

Amazon has something most AI companies don't:

→ Massive distribution (hundreds of millions of customers)
→ Unmatched logistics and data infrastructure
→ AWS already powers most of the internet
→ Deep pockets to play the long game

By the end of 2026, Amazon will be a very real contender in AI.

The quiet ones are often the most dangerous.

You can try Nova Act today at https://fandf.co/4p5DHrn

Big thanks to Amazon for partnering with me on this.
