Stop quoting the Kremlin. Who cares what Putin's bloodthirsty regime accuses anyone of at this point? The only person "stoking tensions" is the dictator launching missiles into Ukraine. As has been the case since 2014, Putin could end the war with one call. He won't. https://t.co/ZZnsq2ijzm

I'm amazed by how broadly applicable this is. I was saying basically the same thing about MeToo backlash a few days ago.
I think the potential for unscrupulous and power-hungry people to use AI as a tool to help them dominate and control others is a lot scarier than anything an AI is likely to come up with on its own.

Here are 5 business hacks Jeff used to sculpt Amazon into the empire it is today: pic.twitter.com/rI7hFmuTJW
2. The Two Pizza Teams Framework
— Kurtis Hanni (@KurtisHanni) July 5, 2022
In 2002 Jeff began organizing employees into teams of 10 people or less — the perfect number of people to manage two pizza pies for dinner.
Each team was expected to create strict goals measured by what he called ‘fitness functions.’ pic.twitter.com/VizLhCsNJ5
While many employees hated 'fitness functions', it drastically diminished social loafing and boosted productivity.
— Kurtis Hanni (@KurtisHanni) July 5, 2022
By keeping groups small, you can assess individual performance and increase group outcomes. pic.twitter.com/rtbCdHGUEP
Jeff adopted this approach and encourages calculated mistakes at Amazon.
— Kurtis Hanni (@KurtisHanni) July 5, 2022
Encourage iteration and celebrates the lessons from failure.
Jeff found meeting memos:
— Kurtis Hanni (@KurtisHanni) July 5, 2022
• Save time
• Clarify goals
• Encourage active participation
• Assured meeting organizers were prepared pic.twitter.com/KQaZWeE74j
5. Eat that Frog!
— Kurtis Hanni (@KurtisHanni) July 5, 2022
Procrastination is often our biggest obstacle.
To counteract this, Jeff created a set of rules for himself:
• Tackle problems in the morning
• Don’t make big decisions after 5pm
• Get adequate sleep

If you have two pricing options for a product, add a 3rd option.
If you already have a third option, make it more expensive.
