9/10: Applications today are very much in a copilot phase. But we think there’s an amazing opportunity for AI to enable more autonomy & eventually become an autopilot, across creative and professional domains.

what is my #1 hack while working from home? "Schedule and start meetings 5 mins later than you usually do. You get 5 mins to break in between meetings. " I love this hack! I know many managers tried and adopted it! Give it a try! This is how I do it: 👇

Why not end the meeting 5 mins early? Calendars have an option for 25 mins or 55 mins meetings. It doesn't work. I have never been able to reliably end after 25 mins because others aren't used to that convention. Starting 5 mins late, however, is forced and automatic!

My invite includes this text: Wellness break - This meeting starts 5 minutes after the hour. Please use the 5 mins for a bio break or just close your eyes and clear your mind. It also reduces stress when the previous meeting wraps up a bit late.

6/10: However, not all of AI is open. Some of the most powerful models remain blackboxes, and even the term “open-source” is nuanced. In particular, training data has become a new battleground, and major open source model launches are omitting training datasets.

So why now? There is never a “good time” for change, but I’m ready to get uncomfortable and try something new. As the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus said “nothing endures but change.” (5/5)

Firstly, most meetings aren't worth it. Avoid them if possible. Online fatigue and burnout are real. Care for your wellness and mental health. If you regularly do back-to-back meetings, you may be burned out or a sure candidate.
