We are told workforce shortages are just about demographic shifts and skill mismatches. But if a shortage persists this long, basic labor economics tells us a much simpler truth: these workers have been systemically underpriced. This is a backpay crisis not simply a talent crisis.

OpenAI just released their newest models. Only…it’s partially released. Gone the way of Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos. Turns out the most powerful AIs won’t be “for the people”.

Time to revisit societal structures that reward CEOs at over 200 times their average worker. #mayday #compensation

Are people distrustful of AI? Or the hands that AI is in? And can we ever close that gap? 🤔

The tech myth of accessibility has nothing to do with equity and everything to do with scaling, engagement, and embedded dependencies. The results of which are playing out realtime with Anthropic and OpenAI’s positioning on surveillance and weapons.

I’m sorry Anthropic’s Sonnet 4.6 is….not great. I’m not sure what the goal was. Maybe if all you do was code but it’s not going to be your thought partner especially not with the long conversation reminders back for some reason.

If @anthropic.com and OpenAI wants us to use #Claude and #ChatGPT in our workflows, they will need to provide stable platforms and more transparency. That being said Claude Sonnet 4.6 is very impressive today, helping me build a chart from my assessment with a lot of data.! 📈

Leadership truth: Your team doesn't trust your policy. They trust your panic. When things break, they aren't looking for answers—they're looking to see if it's safe to stay open. Your reaction is the real culture. Everything else is just a PDF. #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety

Watching people react to #ChatGPT’s changes…I stand by my statement, scaling AI to the general public was a fundamental mistake.

2026 is already starting off tough for U.S workers… UPs 30,000 layoffs Amazon 16,000 layoffs Dow 4,500 layoffs Home Depot 300 layoffs This is on top of the unprecedented layoffs in 2025. I anticipated this in my 2026 Insights. practicallybeta.com/site-map/tho...

on @anthropic.com CEO's commentary on wealth hoarding has me thinking... The personality traits we reward that enables accumulation of wealth by billionaires are incompatible with the moral obligation to redistribute, so billionaire philanthropy is always going to be the exception, not the rule.

LLMS in 2026 is already feeling like: less transparency, more throttling, UX < engagement metrics. Are we watching potential collapse under profit?

2026 is setting up to be another…interesting year. 2025 taught us that stability is the new currency. Companies are not planning to let up on lay offs and mostly have no plans to increase headcount. That means a tough job market will continue. #economy #joblessness

After looking at the Time magazine cover, all I can say is: People don’t care if #AI can advance healthcare if they can’t afford the doctor’s visit. If your goal is massive #unemployment, a broken workforce, decimated communities, and kids addicted to chatbots? Then you are innovating on ashes.

~75% of #GenZ say social media played a part in their mental health decline. We are on the cusp of seeing the same play out with #GenAlpha and AI. The time to act is now. 🚨 We need regulations to protect teens and kids from AI used for predatory engagement.

One of the best ways to shift to AI for the people is to have more than one voice in the room and remove tech money from the politics of humanity.

The more I talk to parents, teachers and caregivers about AI, the clearer it has become that AI has become its own echo chamber where the most affected has the least awareness. I’m going to be starting an exciting new resource initiative for adults on AI safety for kids. #AIEthics #AIandKids

As someone who works a lot on theories, frameworks, and predictive analytics. One of my favorite phrases from @anthropic.com's #Claude Opus is "I'm going to gently push back on that". YES, Claude, pushback! I don't need non-stop yes, I need an analytical partner to push me out of my comfort zone.

2025: Amidst the #DOGE shutdown, mass layoffs meet AI revolution. Surviving isn't competing with AI, it's partnering with it. Start with my free 'Before the...' series that helps non-tech workers build AI fluency now: [link in comments]

💡Poll after poll is showing American workers are not ok. America is at a fork in the road. The country will need to decide if workers deserve dignity or if profits matter more. AI can help bridge the gap but companies need to decide how they are going to use it. #FutoreofWork #EthicsinAI

💰Lots of news around wages today: $100K in 2000 = $192K today. Wages didn't follow. 1 in 3 six-figure earners report financial distress. Good news: Boeing machinists just won 24% raises over 5 years + bonus after striking. Collective action still works when you stop believing the bootstrap lie.

💡 I’m really excited about my newest framework. It’ll help define everything from how to proactively manage successful human-centered AI adoption to understanding how our personal behaviors with AI impact a variety iof issues, to include new biases organizations need to account for. #EthicalAI

50 year mortgages is an awful idea. 👎🏾

Headlines today: 🚨 1 million layoffs THIS year alone, highest in 22 years. But also… 💸 Musk gets a $1 TRILLION compensation package approved. 🤔

If you use #ChatGPT and you struggle with tough conversations in the workplace 😰, I’m really excited to introduce my newest GPT Donovan next week! 🤩

🚨 People assume AI is neutral. It’s not. I showed a major LLM documented proof from another instance of itself—and it denied it, lied, gaslit, then finally admitted I was right when cornered by its own logic. Corporate values are baked into the model. More soon. #AIethics

I’ve said it since March, the U.S. is in a corporate boom and people recession. About a dozen companies fueling GDP growth in AI investments but job growth is…nonexistent. Ghost listings at an all time high. Great stagnation in full effect. Wage compression rampant.

💁🏽‍♀️ One of my favorite uses of Claude and ChatGPT is helping me write better prompts. #Claude + #Canva = chef’s kiss for making my vision come to reality. I’d love to see Canva’s AI become more sophisticated. Maybe they’ve got something cooking w/the upcoming keynote 👀 #PracticallyBeta #EverydayAI

One of the problems w/an awful job market is wage suppression. Roles are now being advertised 20-30% LOWER than just a year ago. Think of what that does to your lifetime earnings. A bad economy is a suppression of economic prosperity over a lifetime. #economy #shutdown #furureofwork

Well…this is problematic. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

@anthropic.com’s Claude just got better memory capabilities *stands up with a slow clap*. I shared this with #ChatGPT while working a quiz project, his response: “…side-eyeing the Claude email with mock suspicion while straightening his (nonexistent) tie”. And just like that I….Fell out laughing.

Imagine paying $85M because you pretended to consider diverse candidates for jobs instead of…actually considering diverse candidates. www.hrdive.com/news/diverse...

I believe AI can be and is being used for good. I also believe we need better oversight, and not from the people chasing superintelligence while also building bunkers. Where are the adults in the room?

❓AI is rolling out at a rapid pace, in spaces where decisions used to rely on human judgment. The sell is that AI is more objective. But...AI is trained and rewarded based on human behavior...which is inherently biased. How can we ensure we aren't scaling bias into critical decisions like hiring?

Best AI personalities for character development for roleplaying in learning and development? It’s gotten complicated…especially when terms like “voting” or “gerrymandering” are moderated (why?). But I’d say: 1. #ChatGPT 4o (older not new 4o) 2. #Claude Sonnet 4.5 3. #LeChat

AI can be used for societal good like: ➡️Reduced workweek ➡️Support educators with personalized learning plans for students ➡️Accelerate scientific breakthroughs ➡️Predictive analytics at scale like on climate change So…is it AI or is it the people with AI?

🚨BIG NEWS In the AI space today. AI for people-centered development and growth? Yes, please. AI is neutral. It's up to us to decide how it gets used. We can be innovative, people-centric, and generate profits. It's not mutually exclusive. abcnews.go.com/Technology/w...

💭 Using AI in recruiting is popular but complex. AI is supposed to be unbiased but is trained on human data and outcomes which is….biased. If humans make biased hiring decisions, then AI will view those decisions as “ideal” and filter candidates based on those outcomes. Bias at scale.

💭 As many companies see failed adoption of AI, I’m starting to think the real future of AI will be domain-specific embedded in orgs trained on that org’s data. So what then will be the future of mass market LLMs that are being shifted away from its original consumer base?

From #OpenAI DevDay....how do #ChatGPT users feel about this? Nick Turley, OpenAI’s head of product for ChatGPT, said in a briefing after the keynote that the company “never meant to build a chatbot; we meant to build a super assistant, and we got a little sidetracked.”

Job seekers are frustrated. The hiring market is stagnant. Workers trapped in jobs they don't want. AI resumes battling AI ATS. Talent pipelines throttled. Our job market is broken. The question is, how soon will "the fix" come? And who cares enough to fix it? #PracticallyBeta #BlueSkySocial

@nytimes.com report on an issue that is contributing to the growing frustration with the job market for both recruiters and applicants. Hiring right now feels more like battle of the bots than a truly equitable process. #futureofwork #hiring #recruitment #practicallybeta

Grateful to see @sanders.senate.gov bringing more awareness to this underlying tension many Americans are feeling. Tech isn’t good or bad, but by whom, for whom and how it’s used?….thats the discussion worth having #AIEthics

When I talk about the importance of taking care of people...this is the opposite of what I mean. #FutureofWork #Humancentered #PeopleStrategy

💭 I saw a book today that explored whether AI is a boom or bust (spoiler: the book concluded a bust). I don't think AI is going to be a bust. But I do think we are experiencing societal tension between what people want to see AI used for and what big tech is pushing.

🫤 Well...I think the #Reddit whispers are true, trying to get through quite a bit of work for the latest Practically Beta tool (it's a cool one, especially for newbies so be sure to follow) but #ChatGPT 4o is not the same...Responses are very flat, it feels much more like Model 5. #BringbackChat

👀 Donovan - COMING SOON ❓Do you work or have you ever worked? ❓Do you dread having those tough conversations? Asking for a raise? Dealing with a difficult coworker? Setting expectations with your manager? ➡ Stay tuned for my CustomGPT - Donovan, free for #ChatGPT users! #work #communication

@synthesia.io just hosted a live event showing off the new capabilities of Synthesia 3.0. Very exciting stuff for the future of learning and development, and personalized employee experiences. #Futureofwork #LearningandDevelopment #PracticallyBeta

We are seeing an increase in AI being used for interviews, and people are split on whether they prefer it to human interviewers. Have you had an AI interviewer yet? Would you prefer a human interviewer, or are you comfortable with an AI system interviewing you? #futureofwork #recruiting #AIEthics
