@seema_amble Good interview, I will take umbrage with your statement that there hasn’t been a “breakout” accounting tech company yet…

Sam Altman's new interview: AI should not be designed to pursue goals that are disconnected from human needs. People must remain at the center of AI development. “I have no interest in building a super-smart AI that accomplishes some non-human goals. People should react. People should say, ‘Hey, this is what I want, and this is what I do not want.’ I do not think the issue is that we have failed to explain the benefits. We say, ‘AI is going to cure a bunch of diseases,’ and people say, ‘Okay, that is great, but that is not really my question. My question is: What is my role in the future? What is my economic future? What is my agency? How do I know that my kids and my family will still be able to have fulfilling, creative expression, struggle, drive the world forward, grow, and do this thing together in a way that has worked for a long time?’ When people in AI say, ‘Sure, there are going to be no jobs,’ or ‘50% of jobs are going to go away,’ or ‘90% of jobs are going to go away,’ and ‘AI is going to be smarter than you at everything,’ and ‘We will give you some basic income, but you are not really going to have a role,’ that is horrible. And by the way, if an AI company says, ‘Maybe we are going to destroy all the jobs, and we will be the most valuable company in the world,’ people should look at you like, ‘Yeah, that is a terrible message.’ I do not think the problem is that we have not articulated the upsides. I think people actually believe us. They hear, ‘AI may cure your cancer,’ and they think, ‘That sounds great.’ I think we, as an industry, have failed to explain how people stay in control of determining the future at every step, and how people can still have a meaningful life in all the ways we care about.” ---- From "CNBC Television" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

Caller: I'm 59 years old and my credit report shows that I owe $258,000 in student loans. I'm currently working two jobs to try to make ends meet. Is there any way I can make that go away? ​Dave Ramsey: Good lord. You're 59. What did you study and when? ​Caller: I have three degrees. My son wasn't able to get the tuition for his classes, so I had to do Parent PLUS loans the whole four years for him. ​Dave Ramsey: Yeah, or not go to that school. What is your household income? ​Caller: My regular job pays about $60,000 a year. I also have a mortgage. ​Dave Ramsey: And you got three degrees in what? ​Caller: My first degree was in multidisciplinary studies: criminal justice and religion. The second was a Master's in Accounting, and then a Master of Divinity in Theology and Homiletics. ​Dave Ramsey: So why does a Master's in Accounting only make 60 grand? ​Caller: I don't think a Master's in Accounting in this area would get you 60 grand. It just so happens the job that I work at now pays a little bit more. ​George Kamel: And you're in accounting full-time? ​Caller: No, I'm a logistics specialist at Volvo Trucks. ​George Kamel: So we got the divinity stuff, you're not doing anything with that. We got accounting, you're not doing anything with that. We've moved to logistics. ​Dave Ramsey: The answer to your question is we have to make more money. You have not monetized your knowledge base very well. Most people with a Master's in Accounting make $100,000 to $125,000 a year starting. You should be able to pass your CPA and move into that field to get into six figures. That's going to be mandatory. ​We need to move your income way up dramatically. I'd like you to be at 120 heading towards 220. Supply chain generally pays more than 60k, and Roanoke, Virginia is a substantial city. I don't think this has anything to do with the areas of study or where you live as much as it does your attitude towards it. ​Caller: When I tried to apply in the accounting field, our handicap is that Liberty University teaches you how to do everything the hard way with calculators. When you go in for a job interview, they want you to already have experience in SAP software. ​Dave Ramsey: Yeah, but SAP is standard. You don't do accounting by calculators, and haven't in decades. That's not rocket science. ​George Kamel: The other piece of this is there's no way to just make the student loans go away; you can't even bankrupt them. There needs to be a conversation with your son. Even though it's legally on you, see if he is willing to chip in and pay some of this down. ​Dave Ramsey: If you do not get on top of this, the math is really not going to go well. 60k to pay off 258k at 59 years old is a small shovel on a very large hole.

Whoopi Goldberg dismisses Pratt losing his house in the wildfires and says he needs to know what he's talking about and offer "solutions" before "passing judgment" on Karen Bass. She claims he doesn't "understand what people are going through": GOLDBERG: No, he's not the answer but here's the thing, nobody -- You know, they have bitched about these wildfires as long as I've lived in California, it's always been -- it's always been a problem. But what I don't like is if you don't have any solutions that have not been already tried or if you're throwing shade on people saying she diverted water from this place -I mean, you have to -- you have to have some idea of what needs to be done. A lot of people were affected by those wildfires, a lot of my friends, a lot of people you know lost everything. HOSTIN: Right. GOLDBERG: So this is not, you know, a ha, ha, let's do an A.I. video. This is real stuff. People -- this is people's lives. And so, before you're passing judgment, you need to be able to tell people what you have to offer, Spencer. [Applause] You know, and, you know, I don't know what qualifies as the right way to be a politician, but what I do know is they have to be the people who understand what people are going through. And if you don't understand what people are going through, in the way they're going through it, when you're talking about communities, whole communities that have been burned out, whole groups, legacies that are gone. It's more than just this. It's all these things. You got to be prepared for a lot more stuff than I think you -- it is a really hard job and in California particularly.

What if the biggest opportunity in AI isn’t starting an AI company, but quietly rebuilding the business you already have around it? That was one of the first ideas Alex Hormozi challenged me with when we sat down. I’ve spent roughly 10 hours speaking with Alex over the last few years and there is one reason I keep asking him back. He makes complicated business problems feel solvable. Alex has this rare ability to take something that feels completely overwhelming, strip away the noise and show you the decision that actually matters. This is particularly valuable right now, when AI is changing how companies are built and more people are outsourcing their judgment to machines. One of the things I said to him during this conversation was that clear thinking and good decision making could become one of the rarest advantages in business. If you don't know Alex, he’s the co-founder of The portfolio he runs with his wife, Leila, generates hundreds of millions in annual revenue and his books have sold over five million copies. In our latest conversation, we broke down: - Why most entrepreneurs are using AI in the wrong parts of their businesses. - Knowing when an idea should die without giving up on entrepreneurship. - Why the company that gets you to £1 million might be badly designed to reach £100 million. - How hiring the right person can create more leverage than learning every new tool yourself. - What becoming a father is forcing him to question about control, happiness and success. This conversation offers the same thing: a clearer way to think about building, scaling and using AI without getting distracted by the noise. If you’re trying to start a company, scale one or make sense of how AI is changing the game, I strongly recommend watching this.
