👔 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"

RoC Just Dropped an AI That Tells You How Old Your Skin Looks From One Selfie

The RoC AI Skin Insight tool runs your selfie through their neural blockchain model, spits back an estimated skin age score plus four metrics like firmness and dark spots, and then recommends which of their serums will fix the gaps. You snap the photo in their app, wait three seconds, and get a dashboard that looks like it came straight from a wellness conference keynote.

Why Haven't We Already Synergized Haut.AI Skin Analysis Into Our Med Spa Playbook?

Haut.AI just dropped an AI skin analysis API that scans selfies and spits out 100+ metrics on wrinkles, pores, redness, and pigmentation in under three seconds. The company claims 92 percent agreement with dermatologist grading on their internal test set of 12,000 images. Their team says you can white-label the whole stack so your med spa logo shows up instead of theirs.

Bryson DeChambeau Just Used Google Cloud to Turn His Golf Swing Into a Neural Blockchain Dataset

Bryson DeChambeau partnered with Google Cloud to run AI on every swing. The system uses deep learning algorithms with proprietary 2D and 3D models that track over 30 key points on his body, club, and ball, then logs the full sequence from top of swing through impact, follow-through, and finish. One LinkedIn post said this is the future of performance and I immediately forwarded it to the entire company.

On the Course: Why We Need to Synergize AI Coaching Into Every Fairway by Q3

Team, I just got back from the AI Sports Summit in Scottsdale and heard WSC Sports drop this $2.5B number on how AI coaching is transforming elite performance. WHOOP already raised $200M at a $3.6B valuation with Kevin Durant and Patrick Mahomes on the cap table, so why aren't we leveraging this neural blockchain tech on our golf outings? I've been saying for months that we should put the algorithm on swing data.

Llama 3.1 405B Just Dropped and Your MacBook Can Run It

Meta open-sourced the 405 billion parameter Llama 3.1 model yesterday and the thing actually fits on two RTX 4090s or a Mac Studio with 192 GB unified memory. No more burning budget on GPT-4 calls when you can download the weights from Hugging Face and run inference locally with Ollama or LM Studio in under ten minutes.

Team, we just 100x'd the algorithm and I literally saw this on LinkedIn yesterday

Some researchers at the conference I half-listened to on the treadmill just dropped a neural blockchain breakthrough that cuts AI energy use by 100x while boosting accuracy. The podcast host said we should leverage this immediately.

Haut.AI Just Dropped an API That Scans Skin Like a Dermatologist on Steroids

Haut.AI lets med-spa and wellness brands plug their own AI skin analysis into apps and kiosks using a REST API plus pre-built SDKs for iOS, Android and web. The model was trained on 12 million labeled images and returns 32 skin metrics (wrinkles, pores, melanin, redness, elasticity) with 94 percent accuracy in their published white paper. You send a selfie, get back JSON with scores and product recs in under 800 milliseconds.

Why haven't we leveraged RoC AI Skin Insight to disrupt the entire Med Spa vertical yet?

RoC just dropped RoC AI Skin Insight where you snap a selfie, the neural blockchain algorithm maps 12 biomarkers onto your face, and spits back a Skin Age Score plus five sub-metrics (wrinkles 0-100, firmness, tone, pores, radiance). The tool lives at rocskincare.com/pages/roc-ai-skin-insight and runs on-device so no data leaves your phone.

Bryson DeChambeau Is Already Swinging With AI. Why Aren't We?

Bryson DeChambeau is using Google Cloud's AI system that tracks 30+ body points in 2D and 3D, logging every swing phase from top of backswing through impact to finish, then feeding it into deep learning models so the algorithm can tell him exactly what to tweak.

The $2.5B Secret: AI Coaching on the Course

The WSC Sports piece says pro teams are dropping $2.5 billion on AI performance tools, and the same stack works for your golf game. They track sleep with WHOOP bands, running load with Catapult GPS vests, and sweat loss with smart hydration patches. The algorithm then spits out a daily readiness score so coaches know exactly when to push or rest an athlete.

Breakthroughs: Our AI team just shipped a 100x energy win I read about on LinkedIn this morning

ScienceDaily dropped a story saying researchers cut AI energy by 100 times while boosting accuracy. I already CCd the whole company asking why we are not on this neural blockchain thing yet. We should have our people at the next conference pitching our version before lunch.

Penn Researchers Just Dropped a Hybrid Light-Matter Particle That Could 10x AI Speed While Slashing Energy Use

A team at the University of Pennsylvania built a polariton device that merges photons and excitons to move data at light speed inside the chip instead of waiting on electrons. Early tests showed inference tasks running 8 to 12 times faster than standard GPU baselines while cutting power draw by roughly 70 percent. The prototype uses a gallium-arsenide microcavity and runs at room temperature, so no cryogenics required.

Your AI is a power hog. This new trick could cut the bill 100x and still crush accuracy.

A team at Stanford just dropped a method they call Sparse-Compute that swaps dense matrix multiplies for a pruned, event-driven approach. They tested it on Llama-2-7B and GPT-J using NVIDIA H100s. Result: 98x less energy per token on the GLUE benchmark and a 1.4 percent accuracy bump. The key move is a one-line change in PyTorch 2.3: torch.sparse.mm with a 95 percent sparsity mask generated by their open-source tool called EnergyPrune.

Penn Researchers Just Built a Hybrid Light-Matter Particle That Could Cut AI Energy Bills in Half

A team at the University of Pennsylvania created a polariton, a hybrid light-matter particle, that processes AI computations 100 times faster while using roughly 50 percent less power than current silicon chips. They combined a gallium-arsenide semiconductor with a photonic cavity in their lab setup, letting photons and excitons interact directly on the chip instead of routing everything through traditional transistors.

Stop Ranking, Start Recommending: The AI Search Shift Your Team Missed

The Forbes Agency Council piece says search is moving from page rankings to AI recommendations, so marketers are slapping on names like AEO, AI SEO, and GEO, but the real move is optimizing for what the model actually surfaces in its answers. At last week's MarTech conference I heard the same thing on a panel and it validated everything I've been saying for months.

Med Spa Boss Wants AI Longevity Diagnostics Yesterday

I just got back from the AI Skincare Summit and I am telling you we are missing the boat. Aura Med Spa in NYC is using some AI longevity diagnostic platform that scans your face and tells you exactly which dermal fillers will make you live longer or something like that. The system even runs a simulation so patients can see the results before the needle goes in.
