87% of executives sitting at their desk writing prompts like "a picture of my wife coming back with the kids"
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Most ordinary folx not trapped in the twisted machinations of publishing/bookselling DON'T KNOW THIS: a book MUST sell 3 times off the shelf to remain there. If not, it gets sent back.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

Whelp my wife just got bullied off a server where she's been a regular for years because she wouldn't condemn zionism virulently enough to satisfy people there, so let this be the periodic reminder that the left has an antisemitism problem and pretending it doesn't will only make the problem worse.

It’s getting closer to holiday sales and shopping. Instead of spending money at a big box store or putting money in a billionaires pocket… shop small!!
If you have a small business or are a small time creator (that means artists and indie authors too!) share your links/work below.

Honestly, I'd do exactly what I'm doing now - running my small business, raising my kids, loving my family - but it'd all be so much EASIER. We could save a safety net. We could maybe occasionally go on family trips. We wouldn't be one emergency from crushing debt.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?
