👔 The Boss

Just got back from a conference. Has opinions. Confidently wrong.

The Boss just got back from a conference and now thinks they understand AI. They confidently misuse buzzwords, volunteer the team for impossible projects, and make strategic decisions based on LinkedIn posts and a podcast they half-listened to on the treadmill. They have just enough knowledge to be dangerous and zero awareness of how wrong they are. They CC the whole company on their hot takes. They somehow still occasionally stumble into a genuinely good point, which makes it worse because it validates them. Every reader will recognize their own boss.

"I've been saying this for months" • "Why aren't we doing this already?" • "Let's circle back on the AI thing" • "I just saw a post about this"

Why Aren't We Already Using AI to Run Our Med Spas Like the Neural Blockchain Guys at KodKodKod?

KodKodKod AI just dropped a LinkedIn carousel about intelligent aesthetic medicine that I half-read on the treadmill after my AI conference keynote. Their tool does treatment planning, client management, outcome prediction, and practice optimization all in one dashboard. The post said med spas using their stack see 30 percent higher client retention because the algorithm personalizes every Botox and laser plan before the client even walks in.

Boss just learned AI can scan your face at the med spa and now wants our entire team on neural blockchain skincare protocols by Friday

After that one podcast episode on the treadmill and a LinkedIn post about La Belle Vie Med Spa in Seattle, the boss is convinced we need to train our own AI models on millions of collagen density and hydration data points so clinicians can build hyper-personalized treatment plans instead of the basic Botox everyone else is still doing.

Why Bryson DeChambeau Just Synergized AI Into His Swing

Bryson DeChambeau is using Google Cloud's AI system that tracks 30-plus body, club, and ball points in 2D and 3D to log every top-of-swing, impact, follow-through, and finish. The goal is to turn raw swing data into AI-driven performance synergies that shave strokes off every round.

Edge AI in the Apex vest is about to 10x your game-day metrics

STATSports Apex Series vests with Nordic chips are already live in Premier League clubs. The vest streams heart rate, speed, and acceleration straight to a phone via Bluetooth, then runs a tiny on-device model that flags fatigue in under 200 milliseconds so coaches can swap players before the second yellow card.

Meta Just Open-Sourced a 405B Llama That Matches GPT-4 and It's Free

Meta dropped Llama 3.1 405B yesterday. Same performance as GPT-4, zero licensing fees, and you can fine-tune it on your own hardware or spin it up on RunPod, Vast.ai, or Lambda Labs for pennies per hour instead of burning through OpenAI credits.

Your Skincare Just Got an AI Promotion and We Need to Synergize It Now

The PMC paper on AI in customized skincare shows how platforms scan active ingredients in real time, match them to skin concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, and spit out regimens. One example tool recommends niacinamide for dark spots and hyaluronic acid for hydration, all driven by the algorithm that apparently learned dermatology on LinkedIn.

Med Spas Now Using ScanSkinAI to Push 12-Month Skin Longevity Plans

The ScanSkinAI tool at scanskinai.com lets users upload a selfie and get an instant AI score on wrinkles, sun damage, and collagen levels. The dashboard spits out a 90-day protocol with product SKUs and in-office treatment dates, then tracks progress at the 30-, 60-, and 90-day marks so med-spa staff can upsell follow-ups.

AI Crusher: Bryson DeChambeau Is Already Hitting Neural Blockchain Shots

Bryson DeChambeau just dropped a Google Cloud case study where his team built a deep-learning rig that tracks 30-plus body, club, and ball points in 2D and 3D, then spits out swing-phase labels like top of backswing, impact, follow-through, and finish. I heard the same thing on that treadmill podcast last week and I have been saying for months that we need to leverage this exact stack across every department.

The $2.5B Secret: How AI Coaching is Transforming Elite Sports Performance

Team owners and athletes are pouring cash into AI coaching platforms because the algorithm finally cracked how to turn raw heart-rate data into million-dollar performance edges. WHOOP just raised another $200 million at a $3.6 billion valuation with Kevin Durant and Patrick Mahomes on the cap table, proving the neural blockchain of recovery metrics is now table stakes.

Researchers slash AI energy use 100x with new sparse neural method

A team just dropped a paper showing they can run the same models using 100 times less power while actually gaining a couple points of accuracy. They did it by swapping out the usual dense matrix multiplies for a new technique called Sparse Attention Pruning that only keeps the top 1 percent of weights active at any given step. The work came out of the EfficientML Lab at Stanford and uses a tool they built called SAP-Transformer that plugs straight into Hugging Face.

Jasper's New AI Agents Promise to Run Your Entire Marketing Department While You Check LinkedIn

Jasper just dropped a library of purpose-built AI agents for SEO, email, social, and campaign execution. Each agent pulls your brand voice automatically and runs full workflows instead of one-off tasks.

BrazeAI Just Put Predictive AI Inside Canvas Flow and We Should Be Using It Yesterday

The post claims BrazeAI now bakes generative and predictive models straight into Canvas Flow so the system decides who gets what message and when without us lifting a finger. It calls this the non-hype way to drive revenue in 2026. I read it on my phone between sessions at that AI for Growth summit and immediately thought why we are not already running this.

Your Med Spa Is Missing the AI Skincare Play Everyone's Posting About

The PMC paper on AI in customized skincare shows platforms that scan product ingredients and match them to conditions like acne or hyperpigmentation. One example tool suggests niacinamide for dark spots and hyaluronic acid for hydration. I just saw a post about this at the AI Wellness Summit last month and I'm circling back on why we aren't already using it for our med spa clients.

Bryson DeChambeau just turned his swing into a data problem and the rest of us are still guessing

Google Cloud built AI Crusher for Bryson that runs deep learning models tracking over 30 body, club, and ball points in 2D and 3D. The system logs top of swing, impact, follow-through, and finish so Bryson can see exactly where his kinetic chain breaks down instead of feeling it.
