"I was afraid that knowledge and wisdom, things I have built for many years, was being lost. And I worried that technology, with infinitely more access to information, would surpass me. But my mindset has changed. I feel encouraged to continue to learn, because we have a responsibility to deepen our humanity, which I see now as our superpower, to actually shape what this technology becomes." -Reflection from last week's Executive Program
Are you trying to replace your workforce with AI, or improve your teams with it? One will look good on next quarter's report. The other will lead to lasting, exponential gain. Choose wisely.
Train your brain to think exponentially. Here at Singularity, we do a Daily Double. Introduce it to your team, add it to your Monday morning routine.
Some reflections from last week's Executive Program:
"Look at your decision architecture"
"Shift from problem solver to problem explorer"
"Knowing a problem deeply is the key to identifying an opportunity to apply AI"
"The direction of technology is set by human decisions"
We are not short on technology. What we need is leaders with the judgment to point the technology in the right direction.
AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape, and the PHP2Shell vulnerability shows how fast the stakes are rising.
How often are you thinking about Molecules? Today's technology makes it is possible to engineer real butter and palm oil w/out a cow or a tree.
Sydney Schreppler joined the EP w/ a mindset shift: what does the future look like when we can create all the world's food in a lab?
California-based startup Savor makes fats and oils without any agriculture, and just commercially launched its butter made from methane or CO2. f-st.co/qdbHrvK

Exclusive: Ray Kurzweil has spent decades predicting that AI could help humans overcome death.
Now he’s working with a startup to create a digital version of himself, raising questions about consciousness, identity and what it means to live on through technology.

Happy #NationalChocolateDay! To celebrate, Astreas brought their truffles, the first in lunar orbit, to the October Executive Program. #insideSingularity
Roughly 48 million square kilometers of land is used for agriculture. Think about this: if we could produce the same amount of food using only 10% of that land, what could the remaining space be used for?
Some of the best entrepreneurs in the world started as fractional founders. How much of your time are you spending evaluating your own expertise, data, or experience to find new opportunities?

a bit of wisdom from @carlovdweijer at the Executive program: Don't fear demonetization, compete on EXPERIENCE.

Before you use AI to do your current work faster, revisit the project you abandoned because you couldn't afford the team. That is where I'd look for an opportunity.
We've known about the PHP security flaw for decades, but it was considered too complex for humans to exploit. AI is changing that. Keep that in mind as Quantum Computing comes around the corner.
Pre-2024 companies are structurally built for a world that is ending. Are you future-proofing your business for this era of rapid change?
Even w/ the right systems in place, most disruptive innovation efforts fail due to culture. Given competing demands, the challenge = fostering a culture that supports both innovation & continuation. It can feel like a paradoxical task. @nothelga helps companies design for it.
