AI adoption is expensive. But so is avoiding it.

Everyone wants the upside of AI. Fewer want to foot the bill.

Avoiding that cost doesn't make it disappear, it just shows up later.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I'll be answering questions live in my Maven course's latest cohort: decisiongptcourse.com

AI writes the code. The leverage is in supervision.

Less time coding. More time specifying and verifying.

Before code: make the AI restate what it thinks you want.
After code: have a different AI explain what was built and how it could fail.

A hobbyist tried pairing his DJI Romo robot vacuum with a PlayStation controller.

Instead, he accessed nearly 7,000 devices worldwide.... including live camera feeds inside homes.

Augmented curiosity is a new category of risk.

Most people think the barrier to automation is technical skill.

It isn't.

The real barrier is knowing what you want badly enough to bother building it.

AI is wasted on people who don't know how to want.

One reassuring thing about teaching leaders to work with AI: They've been building AI skills their whole careers... without realizing it.

Judgment, context, and institutional memory don’t disappear just because the tools change. They become more valuable.

What’s the most valuable skill in the AI era?

β›” It’s not coding.
β›” It’s not prompt tricks.
β›” It’s not β€œkeeping up with the latest model.”

πŸ’ͺ It’s judgment.

Whenever a new #AI capability drops, debate centers on how powerful it is. That's the wrong question.

Right question: bit.ly/quaesita_spe...

A subtle shift I’m seeing in strong leaders:

They’re less interested in what AI can do and more interested in what it shouldn’t.

That instinct turns out to be a competitive advantage.

Context-setting is a strategic act -- not just a prompt-writing detail. What we leave unsaid is often the biggest driver of downstream risk.

One thing AI failures expose quickly: implicit assumptions.

With people, shared context fills the gaps.
With machines, silence gets interpreted as permission.

That difference explains a lot of β€œAI went wrong” stories.
