I believe this topic is relevant to you as well, since there are many company founders here at various stages of starting up or running their businesses.
Visual Capitalist shared the results of Glassdoor reviews, revealing which companies are most admired by their employees. (See the infographic below.)
Lately, I ve been reflecting on the quiet fear that, as AI tools become better at creating art, writing, and design, creativity itself might lose its meaning.
It feels like a valid concern because:
AI can produce beautiful art and music faster than a human ever could,
Many creative fields are shifting from original creation to "curating" or "editing" AI outputs,
Instant generation often replaces slow, imperfect human exploration,
Younger generations are growing up with AI co-creation as the norm, not the exception.
I wonder: Will true creativity still matter when "good enough" is instantly available?
I saw an article on TechCrunch discussing Cluely (created by Chungin Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam).
TL;DR: The AI tool, originally developed to cheat on software engineering interviews, now helps users cheat on exams, sales calls, and job interviews through a hidden in-browser window. And now has raised $5+ million.
I'll go first. A large HR platform sent out an automated AI-written email offering condolences on a prospect's coworker's death, and then tried to hook them into a demo.
Most people phone it in on their 404 page. Some of you didn t. If yours has a little personality or went completely off the rails drop it here. Let s see who actually tried.
Here's ours! It cycles through different team member's pets because who doesn't love pets?
I feel like it would be pretty awesome to have a short video scrolling feature to discover the products that maybe could not make it to the top but have so much value.
Then even if your launch flopped you can redeem yourself by appearing in the feed of others.

Let s be honest: AI is getting eerily good at sounding human. It can craft hyper-personalized content and emails, and handle entire conversations. It s also made sales outreach noisier and eroded trust in once-reliable channels like email, chat, and even voice and crazy enough, video. But it s so seductive and fast. It s learning and adapting faster than ever. And it s not going to stop: in Q1, it already represented the majority share of global venture capital funding.
But one thing AI still can t fabricate is a real, trusted human relationship. These can t be made up or scaled with prompts. They re built through shared experiences, mutual trust, and real-world context.
And yet, in today s business world, precious human connections are slipping through the cracks. They re buried in inboxes, lost in forgotten LinkedIn threads, siloed in the minds of your team and stakeholders. The right lead, investor, or candidate is often just one intro away, hidden in the network you already have. LinkedIn is great if you re an individual building an audience but it fails to unlock the collective relationship capital of an entire company.

I remember reading an essay by @rrhoover about how he moved from his native Oregon to San Francisco after university studies, where doors full of networking opportunities opened up for him.
I saw the same thing in my country after graduation. About 80% of my classmates went to the capital, where there are the most opportunities in marketing and tech. (Or they went abroad.)
I graduated 4 years ago, and I had the opportunity to go on to a PhD, but I gave up on that option.
Instead, I chose the "real world".
Many public universities in my country offer free tuition, while in the US tuition is very high, and people take out student loans that take decades to pay off.
