Ryan Hawk: “Ambition can be beautiful. Knowing your core values, the critical behaviors that make those core values true, and living up to them on a consistent basis, and then having giant ambitions to make a positive dent in the world, to influence people positively and make a difference, is beautiful. You run into problems if you skip that step. If you have low morals or lack values, you’re low on purpose or your purpose is for the wrong reasons, such as a selfish pursuit of money or fame. When I think of the best leaders, the most impactful ones, the ones who have done the most good, they’re very clear on purpose, values, and critical behaviors.”

Business models are migrating from distribution to platforms rearranging who owns the fruits of work. There is a toll-booth model of business—wealth management, wellness coaching, wishful tourism—thriving on public savings. Governments are forced to expand welfare as consumption is bifurcating into a K-shape on rising prices. And artificial intelligence is wrenching the human interface from a sector that absorbed two decades of graduates.”
Jagmeet Singh: “Appfigures estimates that ChatGPT generates about $60,000 a day in India and attracted around 1.8 million downloads over the past month, although that’s down from roughly $80,000 a day last October.”
WSJ: “Investors more recently seem to be coming around to the notion that Big Tech spending on AI can make sense—as long as there is a cloud-computing business involved that can reap the benefits.”
