Insights into the new national academies report on AI and the future of work are here. In my view:
- If you are a builder of AI technologies in any domain, from Machine Learning to Neural Nets and LLMs or Robotics and Computer vision: Keep building! Go faster! We need your productivity gains.
- If you seek the benefits of a future of abundance, support the builders of AI solutions. Cheer them on!
- All of us should consider the impact of AI on our own jobs and careers. In an open society the individuals are ultimately responsible for our own careers and future. We should all consider our personal skills and ability to succeed in a future where abundance of insight and abundance of low cost services and lower cost labor are everywhere.
- The transition of society may be much faster than people realize. There may be a role for government in assisting those seriously disrupted by the transition.
When did Tom Peters learn about John Boyd and the OODA Loop and how did it infuence his most famous work (Thriving on Chaos)? For the answer, see the context from Chet Richards in this OODAcast:
The teachings of ancient philosophers can provide actionable insights in the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity. It might seem surprising at first, but the wisdom of history's great thinkers offers perspectives that are profoundly relevant to today's digital security challenges.
Admittedly this is the super basic version of OODA as a concept, not really reflective of the full nuanced complexities in Boyd's last iterations of his model. But I'm going for an introduction here. Would love your thoughts if it resonates with you and would appreciate you sharing if you think it is a good introduction.
The OODA Loop is a decision-cycle because every action causes changes to the competitive environment and must be continued till victory.
"In the spring of 2024, a group of senior law enforcement officials, national security analysts, attorneys, legal scholars and others initiated discussions that led to this report."
"Addressing the Threat of Political Violence in the 2024 Elections" is an 86-page report intended to serve as a practical guide for state and local governments.

I am a practicing Techno-Optimist. Are you? If so come hang with others cut from this cloth at OODAcon:
"[T]he NIS stresses the need for the IC to explore and pursue partnerships outside its typical channels, namely, with nonstate organizations and subnational actors that have influence in shaping 'societal, technological, and economic futures.'"
Good digest of the new US National Intelligence Strategy, released last month, by the folks over at OODALoop:
