What's up crew? Victor Sturgis I work at a AI tech startup in the construction space as a lead of strategic partnerships. Always been personally invested in technology with a heavy lean into unlocking capabilities "as seen in" movies across 80s, 90s, 2000s. If I'm being completely honest, my driver has been to unlock how much I can do, while actually doing as little as possible! Simplest example? Can I turn off the lights without moving? Now scale that! -AI wise I'd put myself at maybe a slight level above tinkering, though we deploy an AI product for our clients, I'm not specifically the mind helping build or deploy our model. I use AI to help with everyday work tasks, email, documentation, strategy, framework building, light framework execution, etc. --I'm here out of curiosity. AI presents a unique challenge related to people and businesses. When my company talks about technology adoption and change management we usually discuss the 20-60-20 rule. 20% are early adopters of tech, 60% just go with the flow and follow what's easy and available, 20% are the resisters. But when you look at the space of AI, my presumption is that we are more like 5-40-55 respectively. Antropoic, OpenAI, and the like are firmly in the 5% and have made a big leap in making AI easily accessible to the 40% but there are still SO many resistors to the technology. Those who don't understand the capability it unlocks. Businesses are struggling to adopt and get value from the technology because they don't have enough of the 5%ers and too many of the 55%ers who believe this is another fad and things will slowly adapt (like with the internet or computers). I wholeheartedly disagree with that sentiment. How do we successfully deploy AI and make it easy to professionals and businesses? I'm curious to see how that might be possible with the local approach. I'd like to be in the 5% for myself and others to help. -What am I running? I'm running a Surface Pro 11 (ARM-based) with a Snapdragon X 10-core CPU, 16GB RAM, and integrated Adreno GPU on Windows 11 Business.
