For my new employer, I'm reading up on the workplace culture of the specific country. Now I'm super curious what the quickstart guide looks like for those poor Europeans working for an American company. What things do you whisper about us in hushed tones?

Microsoft dropped -10% today despite a revenue beat ($81.27B vs. $80.27B expected) because 1. Data center spending growing faster than revenue because they have a growing customer backlog. 2. 45% of that customer backlog is OpenAI who everyone is skeptical of their ability to pay in the long run.

A new survey shows 40%+ of execs say AI saves them 8+ hrs/week while ~2/3 of non-managers say it saves <2 hrs or nothing. This is the second time Iโve seen this split, and it explains the CEO hype vs rank-and-file worker ambivalence. LLMs excel at summaries and email drafts, aka exec busywork.
