1-Man Billion Dollar Business

They say in the future, there are going to be one-man billion dollar businesses. On it.

One step is to build a hundred person team entirely out of AI.

MEET SIERRA!

Sierra is my first AI employee. My Virtual, Virtual Assistant.

Training AI employees can be tough! If you think Gen Z has a short attention span, imagine an employee who forgets the conversation you had yesterday, or worse, the conversation you just had in a different room, 15 minutes ago even!

That's what it's like working with AI.

Much like an end-stage Alzheimer's parent, you find yourself architecting ways for them to remember things.

But there's a catch!

There's only a certain amount they can remember at once.

You can't just stuff in all the information you want, because then, they can't utilize any of the information you just stuffed in

So how much should we put in? One page? Five pages?

This is context and it's the foundation of all human relationships as well.

Are we in the bedroom? Are we at a dinner party?

Context is everything.

The key to building and holding context, I have found, is to create a system where you hand them the first breadcrumb and then they know which paths to follow from there.

Like "50 First Dates".

"Here's a videotape explaining who your husband and children are. If you have more questions, just ask."

The final AI issue

The final challenge is that, assuming you document everything that needs to be done in your company, and the employee knows where to find it, imagine that what they're paying attention to now is becoming more and more their total focus until they forget what you said at the beginning of the conversation.

Usually, that means they're getting good at solving the problem they're staring at from an inch away. (Though they can sometimes lose the forest for the trees, as well. )

Mostly, it means that whatever the most important instructions from the beginning were are lost after two or three auto-compacts. Which means, 'teacher, my brain is full!' (remember the Far Side?)

It's juggling.

And the smartest minds in Silicon Valley haven't fully solved this problem yet.

That's why...

My super-brilliant coding partner usually doesn't know what day it is.

So that's fun.

I have ways of helping with AI btw. LMK

You CRAVE My Wordsmithing

Okay, I'm creating a post here for the first time.

Because who doesn't want to hear from me every day?

Exactly. I hear nothing.

Because if you didn't want to hear from me, you would have cheered loudly right now.

"Love Me Shallow" (funny)

I was giving Allison a hug, and, as is my wont, I started doing a little bit of pressure point therapy almost instinctively.

Noticing she was finding it uncomfortable, I said, "Deep love".

She shot back, "Love me shallow, then!"
