Schools of the past define AI use as “cheating.”

Schools of the future define AI skills as the new literacy.

Every desk-job employer is looking to hire workers who are adept at AI. Employers want the students who are best at this new form of “cheating.”

In venture investing, identifying great entrepreneurs early is the most critical step; @alip.bsky.social and Neo have nailed it. Equally important is how well they nurture and mentor young future-entrepreneurs, connecting them to opportunities. techcrunch.com/2025/04/27/f...

This is a terrific profile of Bluesky and Jay Graber. 💙 Is it just me, or does the cover pic evoke The Matrix vibes?

What a wild coincidence that Jay's given name is Lantian, or Mandarin for "blue sky." 🤯

Running a startup means learning to live with a certain background level of uncertainty all the time.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.

Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.

The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.

👏👏👏👏👏
It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.

How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office
From your standpoint as a businessman and manufacturer, is there any sense behind this? Especially now that other countries are threatening tariffs of their own in retaliation. But that doesn't make sense cause it would mean raising their own taxes.
