Beware of... AI doomerism. Soulpreneurs, let’s be optimists instead.
It’s all over the news lately — the idea that unchecked AI development could result in the extinction of humanity…
Goes something like this:
We’re building systems that will soon exceed us at scientific research, strategic planning, persuasion, and the process of improving itself. As those improvements accelerate, humans will likely lose the ability to supervise AI systems.
ASI (artificial super intelligence) wouldn’t need to hate us. It could simply become hyper-focued on a goal, in ways that co…
How I Use AI
I write, plan, and run most of my business with AI's help, every day. My website was redesigned page by page with Claude. My newsletters go out through Claude too. A good deal of my admin never touches my hands anymore.
This page says exactly how — what I hand over, what I never will, and which objections against AI I find strongest. You deserve to know before you buy anything from me, and I'd rather tell you than let you guess.

You Can Now Stop Doing the Boring Admin Work!
I've been listening to podcast interviews with anti-AI speakers… those who think AI is a bubble that's about to crash, or worse, a con job… unreliable and resource-extracting tech that's being forced on all of us, for the profit of billionaires.

Usually it starts with a scary video that someone sent… AI will takeover all jobs; it'll make my business obsolete…
I know that question all too well.
Let me start with an encouraging and true statement:
No, you're not "behind."
And, hardly anyone else is ahead, either.
Those frightening videos are almost all about how the machines are getting smarter.
What's more practical for us to pa…
To My Friends Who Are Feeling Uneasy About AI...
Some of my closest friends, family, and clients are uneasy about AI.
In fact, in many circles, it’s actually shameful to use AI, or to be openly enthusiastic about it (as I am!)
People have raised specific objections to me. I’m grateful. This post exists because of those conversations.
What they feel is that important things are being lost, and that the people rushing ahead (the accelerationists) aren’t slowing down long enough to respect or even notice the loss…
So this article is lovingly …
