His AI told him not to do it. He did it anyway, to save $5 to $10 a month.

Later, the same AI erased 2.5 years of his students' work, backups included. It took a full day to get it back.

He owned it in public: "This incident was my fault."

What stays with me is the warning. The AI got it right, and nothing made anyone stop and listen.

So I'm curious. Should an AI be able to say no to a risky order, even when a person insists?

AI agents now book trips and fill out forms for people. Could one book with you?

@meta's @muse hit 5 million downloads in just over three weeks. I tried it. It's easy, and people want it.

Your site needs one of three setups before an agent can finish an order, and one of them may already be on. The video shows which one is yours.

Why should billionaires have all the fun with tech?

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s $131.5 million DoorDash settlement, benefiting more than 260,000 delivery workers, shows what happens when we combine data, technology, and the power of organizing. Imagine what unions, nonprofits, and community organizations could accomplish with these same tools. We can’t afford to fear AI while others use technology to build power. It’s time we use it to fight for the causes we believe in. Join our newsletter to learn how. Link in bio. by @robdisrupts.ai

AI agents are starting to shop for people. Could one buy from you?

@meta's @muse got 5 million downloads in 22 days, and @amazon is already blocking it. Every other store gets a head start, if it moves now.

I break down three ways to get ready in the video. One of them might already be done for you.

Wait for part 2!

Who gets the time AI saves at work?

Jeff Bezos thinks some people will end up working three days a week. I'd love that. I also think it won't happen unless someone chooses it.

Watch to the end for what that means if you run a business.

AI’s Greatest Currency Won’t Be Productivity. It’ll Be Trust.

Governor Gavin Newsom just signed the No Bosses Act in California. And here’s what business leaders need to understand.

Just because Washington hasn’t established a comprehensive federal AI framework doesn’t mean your organization can afford to wait.

The question is: Can the people impacted by your AI actually trust it? by @robdisrupts.ai

You can’t build your entire AI strategy around paying for the biggest, most expensive model every time.

That’s not a strategy.

Organizations need their own AI operating system—a repeatable way for employees, leaders, and teams to decide how AI gets used, where it creates value, and where humans still need to lead.

The future isn’t just about access to intelligence.

It’s about knowing how to orchestrate it.

The companies and employees who win in this next era will understand how to build an AI operating strategy.

That means knowing:

• When you need a powerful reasoning model—and when you don’t.
• How to give AI the right context instead of just writing better prompts.
• How to integrate AI into everyday workflows, not treat it like some separate magic tool.
• How to choose the right model for the right task without blowing up costs.

Because here’s what nobody wants to talk about:

A lot of employers jumped the gun. They rolled out AI like a magic switch instead of integrating it into real workflows.

They forgot about the edge cases. The nuance. The relationships. The accountability. The judgment that experienced people bring into the room.

AI can do a lot. In some cases, it can do most of the repetitive work. But it still needs humans who know what matters, what can break, and what trust actually looks like in practice. by @robdisrupts.ai

Here are 5 mental models I teach:

1. Reverse Prompting
Stop guessing what the perfect prompt should be. Give AI the outcome and context, and have it design the reusable prompt for you.
2. Prompt Optimization
Already have a prompt? Ask AI to identify ambiguity, add constraints, clarify assumptions, and improve the instructions.
3. Chain of Verification
Don’t just say, “Make sure this is accurate.” Require claims to be verified against specific sources and cited.
4. Adversarial Prompting
Ask AI to attack your design. Find the holes. Challenge the assumptions. Surface risks you didn’t consider.
5. Multi-Perspective Simulation
Have AI examine the problem from competing perspectives before synthesizing the strongest coherent answer. by @robdisrupts.ai
