Compare these two scenarios and decide for yourself: 1. You’re on one of your daily trips through the online information jungle – exploring, feeding your curiosity, and seeing where it leads you. You’re fully engrossed and learning as you click to and fro. 2. Now imagine that instead of being self-directed, you have a guide telling you where to go, narrating the entire journey, and giving you fully formed ideas. AI might make us more efficient, but it also lulls us into adopting homogenized thinking as our own. Will we notice? Forage through that darned information jungle with a sharp, curiosity-feeding machete - our twice-monthly newsletter, the Pinwheel Spin. Subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/gxZd5Y4a

Here is little Clay hack that can help you find the exact people you are looking for! 1) Go to Import Companies - drill down to your ICP. Within company search, choose the industry, location, company size, etc. 2) Now..here is the magic. Within the same table, add people or add jobs. Now, you can pull results from only the companies you wanted too in Step 1. So why is this important. It takes both steps to drill down to your ICP. And wait...did I mention you can do all this at no cost within the import limits of your plan...mine is 50K rows. From here..enrich, use AI, get a validated email, go to town...etc.... I don't know if there is a more cost effective way to find exactly who you are looking for...thanks Clay for making it easy:) PS: this workflow has a few extra layers, but you get the general idea:)

Have you ever asked for directions and received the wrong answer? 🗺️ That's how my morning went with a new AI that's supposed to know all about Coda formulas! It confidently gave me a nonexistent function for a simple task. Goes to show, sometimes you just have to learn things the old-fashioned way. 📖 Dive into the Coda docs, experiment, and watch those formulas click into place over time. No AI can substitute the satisfaction of solving a problem with your own know-how, not yet anyway! Keep learning and sharing your milestones!

We’ve been training and testing a new AI on four years of Living Between Worlds videos. Here’s my first interaction with it: What's the central theme of this video series? "The central theme of Gil Friend's 'Living Between Worlds' video series is to explore how to live in this time with dignity, grace, and power between worlds. The series seeks to foster an inquiry into how to interact with each other, both friends and foes, and to cultivate our tribes and our worlds. The series also seeks to challenge ourselves to think and feel beyond the nature/culture partition which has imposed itself everywhere, and to recognize that we are creatures of the planet Terra living with the myriad other creatures on this planet. Ultimately, the series seeks to move from a world in which life is the servant of business to a world in which business is in the service of life." Not bad at all for starters! Please let me know if you have questions you’d like me to ask it. (I imagine we’ll open it up to direct queries after testing, but for now you’ll need to go through me.) To listen to these conversations with your own ears (and non-artificial intelligence), you can browse the archives and register for the next (monthly) call using the links in the first comment.

Dynamic Video w/AI Fun Fact/Tip - Part 2 ✌🏽 (This one may or may not be obvious)....BUT... Do you know what our keyword is so that AI can change it to your prospect's name? ..... It's WATERMELON! 🍉 When you start your video, say "Hi Watermelon". After this quick phrase, have a slight pause (doesn't need to be very long at all), and then continue with the rest of your script. 😊 It's amazing how 🍉 ends up changing to your prospect's name! This saves you so much time...create one video that will be personalized for thousands! ✨ Have you tried this yet? If not, what are you waiting for?! 🤪

🤖 On our last Learning Lab, Peter Manniche Riber said AI was a chance for L&D to be cool ("for once"). ❗We have another Learning Lab coming up (8th May), this time on the 'Skills-first' / 'Skills-based' organisation. Click the link to register: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eTHcAJ3h 🥁 Shackleton Consulting Founder, Nick Shackleton-Jones, and Solvd Founder Charlie Kneen will be sharing their experience, and together we will unpick the benefits and pitfalls of aligning with this latest L&D trend.

Talking and reading are slow, like trying to fill a bathtub with a tiny cup - you can read about 4.5 words every second, which is really not a lot of information. But looking at things, that’s like using a giant hose! Our eyes send a huge amount of info to our brain super fast. Kids just by being awake and looking around, learn way more from what they see than from all the books and internet stuff big AI systems are trained on. This shows us that to make AI really smart, like human-smart, we need to teach them to understand the world through pictures and experiences, not just words. And touch is super important too, because it’s another way we learn a lot about the world.
