Depends on whether the content is effective. Let's say it costs $100 for a piece of content, like a blog post. (I'm not suggesting that's the right price, I just like easy math.) And let's say your return is $200 in sale

Seems like an overly cynical take on capitalism, and I'm not exactly capitalism's biggest fan. All businesses are in the business of maximizing profits. If they can be more profitable with fewer writers, of course they'll red

...or we produce a lot more content. ...or we can be freed to spend our time making the content better than ever, because we didn't squander our whole day on the first draft.

As someone who makes a good portion of my living as a writer, I choose to embrace ChatGPT to make me more productive. That's how I stay relevant. For example, today it helped me write a press release. We had dialogue back and forth. I

I fully agree with you! Although I think it’s possible to market without violating data privacy. There’s a small but growing movement among marketers and advertisers to ditch all of that, to the best of our abilities. I can’t help that Goog

Would it surprise you that I largely agree with you? Or that I'm at least sympathetic? For context, I just published a book called Insurgent Marketing. The central thesis is that the world is being shaped by propagandists, has been for

It's an interesting structure! A couple of thoughts popped out as I read your articles of incorporation. (1) Instead of saying a representative can't represent more than 10-100 people, have you considered making it a percentage of

As a marketer, I'm curious about what you mean by this. What are you saying is marketing's endgame? (I'm not sure if I'll agree or disagree yet.)

I think this again points to the difference between management and leadership. The emotional side of it -- the people side of it -- is leadership. It's coaching. It's understanding that everyone is an individual and has their own

I'd love to hear more about your non-stock cooperative. How is it structured? I'm genuinely fascinated.

Interesting... I always thought the term meant any manager who isn't at the absolute top. If that's the case, maybe I'm not middle management anymore.

by nickelcitymario 3y ago
I identify as middle management, for what it's worth.

by nickelcitymario 3y ago
In the context of this conversation, if AI can perform those management tasks (not leadership, but management), then I think it's only a matter of time before they will. To be clear, I'm not saying this is a good thing. I just t

In my experience, so purely subjective, high-paid leaders/managers spend upwards of 90% of their time on things that do not justify the pay. The same was true for me. I can't tell you how often I felt simultaneously underpaid for

by nickelcitymario 3y ago
True, but if you look at the top-performing companies, they tend to be driven by risk-taking, rule-breaking leaders.

by nickelcitymario 3y ago
Completely agreed. I was a marketing director for about a year and a half, and I stepped back from it because I was personally spending about 60 hours a week on items I would consider management, which I've never been that interested i

Close. Automate middle management. All the things mentioned in the article really are prime candidates for automation. But that's management, not leadership. Management is primed to be automated. See Marshall Brain's book "Ma

Not to be preachy, but I'd second this. I don't really attend anymore, but for a while, my local church was a safe haven from the stresses of both my professional and personal life. That said, over time I found it impossible to re

Fair enough. But with a biosphere, that makes sense. Mars has gravity and an atmosphere, so a biosphere on Earth is a smart project to resume. I'm not saying we shouldn't test everything we can. We should, absolutely. But we also

I had the same questions! But again, this is where my knowledge fails me. For example, if you release C02, how far away from earth would you need to be for it to not get caught in Earth's gravity? Still, it's a fascinating idea.

How is that comparable? I apologize for this bit of sarcasm, but last I checked, Arizona has both air and gravity.

Hey HN! I just wanted to share with you all that I've published a book on KDP called Insurgent Marketing. It's all about how smaller underdog brands (like startups) can compete against the giants in their markets. As of today, it

Aside from entertainment, what's the use of Adobe Premiere? Or Davinci Resolve? Seems odd to exempt the one use case that this is most valuable for. Look at how many Hollywood movies had their CGI improved by fans using this kind of te

I know this is not hard science, but as we're grappling with the ramifications of AI's possibly looming singularity, I found this book incredibly useful in thinking through what it means to be conscious.
