Tedx needs to ban speakers from using AI generated speeches. This is ridiculous and lame and lazy and mediocre. And if this is how Ted wants to show up, I don’t see a bright future for Ted Talks.
So thought provoking! Thanx for sharing an interesting perspective. I love the idea of flipping the script, I’m going to be asking more questions, and getting people to ask more questions
I'm going to attempt 5 questions right now. 1. How did we go from gen x being independent by focusing on their skills to current generations depending on being right for dopamine? Such as when a scientist makes a breakthrough, are they relying on their own independence or their need to prove their usefulness to their current collective? How do we overlook our current situation with layoffs and AI replacing us? How do we stay mentally strong with this incomprehensible competition? When will AI become more sustainable with less resources? What happens when training people becomes less sustainable and more costly than training AI? Pretty sure that's 5 or more but I have one more. How do we live with the convenience of AI and feel useful while getting healthy dopamine?

That’s been my style for years (especially now with shorter attention spans) and it works every time. I’m not spent, they’re not bored, and we still get great results.
Thanks for a powerful and validating presentation, Bryan!

Spot on, Libby G. I wonder if we'll eventually see tools that help us scale that empathy without losing the genuine human connection.

I completely agree, Theo. For me, empathy is the one skill to master because it ensures we don't lose sight of the people behind the data.

That pivot on indispensable human skills is a total game-changer—like finding a hidden cheat code for the real world. It’s all about that human touch AI just can't replicate. If you had to pick one skill to master for the long haul, what would it be?
