I was miserable in my first job. I was underpaid, undervalued, and underwater.

But I learned some important lessons:

1. No amount of hard work will fix a toxic work environment. ⏰

2. Your time and energy are valuable - regardless of how much someone is paying you. 💵

3. Others can't always see how much you're worth. That's their problem. 🔮


Shoutout to the mentors all over the world helping others recognize their worth. It literally changes lives.

I packed a bag to leave San Francisco for a week. I’ve been gone 3 months.

I have learned more in these past few weeks about working remote than I ever could have dreamed of.

My top tips:

1) WiFi is the most important thing on the weekday. No WiFi is the most important thing on the weekend.

2) Make it easier to say yes to adventure. Get a hiking backpack and water bottle you love. Download AllTrails. Rest.

3) Weekly team meetings and team member 1:1s are a requirement. Don’t hold them on Mondays or Fridays.

4) Evolve your work conversations as you get new data. My team is WFH at least 8 more months. Plan ahead.

5) Be more open about mental health. Check in. Encourage your team to use their vacation days.

6) Packing a monitor is a hassle, but it’s a huge productivity boost - 100% worth it.

7) Replace your “commute” with something. Anything. You need work-life separation. Create a start and end to your workday ritual. I start each day saying 3 things I’m grateful for and usually end by closing my laptop and going outside.

5 great questions you can ask at the end of an interview 👇

What’s your favorite one to ask?

More artificial intelligence content for beginners 👏

Here’s 1 minute on the difference between supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.

The AI skills gap isn't about coding or prompt engineering—it's about systems thinking.

Companies scrambling to hire LLM experts are missing the point. We need people who understand both the business process and how AI can transform it.

I used to be a perfectionist. If I didn’t get a 100% on a math test (plus extra credit), I thought I was a failure.

The performing arts and the startup world broke me out of that. My voice would crack on stage, I delivered a feature that didn’t hit revenue goals, and I messed up a pitch (to one of my role models) two minutes in.

Don’t ignore those moments of imperfection. Be proud you still did the damn thing.

Your life will change, and you should change your goals along with it.

15 years ago, a goal of mine was to make at least $50K a year.

10 years ago, a goal of mine was to live alone without roommates.

5 years ago, a goal of mine was to post at least 20 times on social media.

Whether it’s because you accomplish your goal or your needs change, it is OKAY, and in fact IMPORTANT, to change your goals.

This is not “moving the goal posts” or delaying gratification.

This is adapting and growing.

Proactive calendar blocking is your new best friend.

Don’t just book meetings. Book breakfast, exercise, time to think and read and write, commuting, time with your children, vacations—all of it.

Where the heck was GPT-3 when I was in business school?!

David Bressler created a bot that generates Excel formulas. Just type in what you want Excel to do, and the bot will give you the formula.

This is brilliant.

3D artificial intelligence is about to make a big sweep.

You’ve seen unbelievable AI advances in structured data, natural language (like blog post writing), computer vision images (like image generation), and computer vision videos (like language-enabled compositing), but get ready for 3D.

This is a demo of the current beta from Luma AI which allows you to 3D scan an object from your own phone in just a few minutes. No specialty equipment, no professional setup time needed.

Congrats to the Luma team, this is great work.

Yesterday, I met Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of Google DeepMind.

What did we talk about that got me so fired up?

Our bold predictions for the future, the role of reinforcement learning, “personality engineering”, agentic AI and action quotients, and what we think is missing in AI today.

The future is unwritten and ours to shape.

STOP writing off technology when it’s just in its early days.

Adopt an investor mindset. Especially in the world of artificial intelligence, it’s a safer bet to anticipate remarkable advancements every few years or even months.

To be clear, I’m not jumping for joy at the idea of staring at 3D versions of my friends in the abyss. I want scientists to study whether high-quality avatars still provide connection, let us build trust, and help us improve loneliness. But Meta pulled off an unbelievable 2-year improvement.

What I *am* excited for in the metaverse is the B2B side—it’s equipment digital twins, decision making with spatial reasoning, and scenario planning.

What do you think?

So…this is wild.

In five seconds, you can create a fully linked wikipedia page on any topic in the entire universe.

Perplexity just dropped a new feature to Pro users called “Perplexity Pages”.

Type in a topic, it automatically creates a webpage for it, with links and sources, you can publish it, share the link around, other people can access it, and other people can ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS to the page. View count and followup count are public.

Caveat: Perplexity will often hallucinate statistics and link to websites without the info there. You must verify the data.

Here’s the one I made, check it out: https://lnkd.in/e7ByRkpV

One driver of equality we should invest in is upskilling everyone - not just the select few.

And that’s why LinkedIn is so powerful - I can share top resources alongside my own research with a massive, global community.

To that effect, this is the BEST resource I have seen from AWS on how developers, engineers, and data scientists can train up on machine learning.

When a business person says an engineer “just codes” or an engineer says a business person “just sells”…

Both are wrong.

Oversimplifying someone’s role nearly always means you don’t understand what they do. And it could be due to lack of exposure, experience, or empathy.

Anytime I hear it, I encourage them to watch YouTube videos, do a quick Google search, or shadow multiple people in that role to learn more.

LinkedIn is a global network. Words cannot express the value that Jeff Weiner has created.

Turns out, my Amsterdam tour guide (Lotte Nederhorst) is getting her masters in AI and follows me on LinkedIn.

We live 5,000 miles apart!

Lotte - you’re going to do big things. Fun to chat about canals and RPA with you.

This is the first AI research that made my doctor friends text me like wild.

Researchers asked: can ChatGPT diagnose patients better than doctors? And what if a doctor was using ChatGPT for help?

Doctors with ChatGPT assistance scored 76% in diagnostic accuracy, barely above those without it (74%). ChatGPT alone nailed 90%.

The study shares two challenges:
1️⃣ Overconfidence: Doctors often ignored ChatGPT’s correct diagnoses if they conflicted with their own. How can we get AI to explain the why and influence better without manipulating?
2️⃣ Underuse: Doctors are undertrained on AI and treated it like fancy Google (rather than copying and pasting the whole patient history in and “talking” to the data).

AI could revolutionize diagnostics, but only if doctors learn to trust, verify, and utilize its capabilities.

To doctors reading this, take a course on how to be an AI superuser—even if it’s not for the medical field. Mine is in my bio. You need to know what’s coming.

“Let’s go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday.” – Steve Jobs

I’m a big fan of “Two-Minute Papers” on YouTube - these short videos are a great way to stay up-to-date on new technology.

*Here’s a recent highlight!*

In the field of ML, there is a subfield that focuses on the visualization of the inner workings of neural networks. If you’ve seen 3D sinusoidal psychedelic images, it’s probably related to activation maximization.

Check out this video at 1:27 to get a sense of an activation grid (and a cute photo of a puppy) and 3:16 for a car example.

If this video makes you want to see inside your own brain, you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. 🧠

You can now ask AI to translate Gen Z slang to non-Gen Z text.

What parent is jumping on this immediately? 🙋

You already know what today’s AI post is going to cover. The only thing people are talking about today: ChatGPT Enterprise from OpenAI.

Features include:

🤯 Unlimited access to GPT-4 (no usage caps)
🏎️ Higher-speed performance for GPT-4 (up to 2x faster)
📊 Unlimited access to advanced data analysis (renamed from the very confusing “code interpreter”, which is my favorite feature in ChatGPT but had an unhelpful name)
📚 32k token context windows (4x longer inputs, files, or follow-up questions and prompts)
✍️ Shareable chat templates for your company or team to collaborate and build common workflows and best practices
💰 Free OpenAI credits

The newest release is SOC 2 compliant and all conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. It is not yet HIPAA compliant. Your company should still review the data policy and usage terms to determine if it meets your technical standards and requirements. There is also no public pricing available.

Companies already using it: The Carlyle Group, Canva, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., PwC, Zapier.

My recommendation: if you are not super budget sensitive (think six or seven-figures a year) *and* deem it technically A-OK *and* have not yet started implementing an in-house AI system, this is your “jump on it” moment. OpenAI is going to unleash more features like customization and internet browsing, and you’re going to want to already have your team spun up. This is your window to change the velocity of your business.

Google is building an agent AI web browser, plus so much more. Here's what just launched:

🤖 New Gemini updates:
- Gemini 2.0 Flash launches today - 2x faster than 1.5 Pro while outperforming it on benchmarks (available to all in Google AI Studio and devs get access via Google AI Studio/Vertex AI; I use Google AI Studio)
- Can now generate images with text in the pic and create multilingual speech (early access only)
- Integrates with Search, code execution, and third-party functions

🖥️ Project Mariner preview:
- A chrome extension with an AI agent that can complete web tasks (yummy)
- 83.5% success rate on WebVoyager benchmark
- Only works in active tab and requires human confirmation for sensitive actions (guardrails are incredibly important in agents AI!)
- Can’t access it now, in testing

🧑‍💻 Coding Agent Jules preview:
- AI agent that integrates directly with GitHub workflows
- Can analyze issues, create development plans, execute under dev supervision
- Currently experimental

📱 Project Astra (Google's mobile AI assistant) updates:
- Now remembers 10 minutes of conversation context (yummy)
- Handles multiple languages in the same conversation
- Integrates Google Search/Lens/Maps directly
- Tester list available

2024 is the warm-up. 2025 is the year of agentic AI.

What an amazing example of leading with values!

We need to celebrate our friends’ career wins—big and small.

And one way you can do that is showing up at their workplace and taking them out to lunch 😋

Visiting NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory last week was a blast (pun intended) and a big congratulations to Dr. Kimberley R. Miner - climate science researcher, polar explorer, assistant professor, and incredible STEM leader - on her recent promotion.

Check out the fourth photo below to see where the Mars Rover performed terrain tests! ⛰️

CHALLENGE: who can take a photo with the biggest number of women in STEM?

This is about 60 of the 125 AAAS #ifthenshecan ambassadors. All scientists. All women.

All fierce.

Isn’t this awesome?

Happy 2023, friends 💛

I’ve got big stuff coming, so if you’re interested in artificial intelligence and technology, be sure to follow along.

Hoping this year brings you all more joy, appreciation, love, laughter, growth, and success 🎉

Here is when to use each top AI model right now 💡

↓ ↓ ↓

ChatGPT 4o - best ideas/invention but follows directions worst. I have screamed at the new 4o multiple times. Use this for first draft. Better at organization. GPTs still the best prompt efficiency hack. Stack them. Voice dictate whenever possible

OpenAI o3-mini-high - tied for best with coding, amazing price (1/3rd price of o1 mini)

o3 / Deep Research - use for any “I wonder...“, kick it off at the beginning of team meetings, always ask for exec summary in shorthand, better than Google’s Deep Research but still hallucinates! If you can afford it ($200/mo), likely the better option for business use

Claude 3.5 Sonnet - most creative writing while maintaining my personal writing style, most helpful, “gets me” the most, tied for best with coding, use this to fix writing style

Grok 3.0 - most inventive writing but doesn’t maintain style unless you prompt the heck out of it, most fun, best image generator (yes, you heard that right), very millennial-sounding, has its own style, use sparingly for viral soundbites, up there for coding but low rate limit so not first pick

Gemini 1.5 Pro - best recap, “gets me” second most often after Claude, most balanced (I use it because it takes in video and 2.0 does not), I love to use this at the end of a project where I screenrecord entire AI conversations with other models and then ask Gemini to weigh in

Google Deep Research - 1/10th the cost of OpenAI Deep Research and a close second place, most people should use this one over OpenAI for personal use bc of cost-performance tradeoff

Web-browsing agents (Operator, Proxy, others in alpha) - I don’t like any public ones enough yet

DeepSeek - honestly, other than the natural CoT, this isn't in my top as a user. As a builder/investor, of course v interesting

🚨 This is only my opinion. Your AI mileage may vary. And I fully agree with Ethan's sentiment below.

Breakthroughs in “language AI” will change the future of society. 

This article gives an excellent overview of the landscape of language tech today. Read to learn more about the companies spearheading the latest advancements and applications of natural language processing (NLP), like large language models.

The use cases of NLP are seemingly never-ending, from writing assistants, search, sales intelligence tools, conversational voice assistants, even image generation or code development. (Think about how all of the ways you interact with language daily — it’s everywhere!)

Great article from Rob Toews 💪

“You do not have to be the best at something in order to do it, enjoy it, and share it. If only the best people did, enjoyed, and shared their talents and their passions, think about how one-note and boring the world would be. Think about how much less joy there would be to be found.“
- Lyndsay Kirby
