Artificial intelligence tools can now write, code, draw, summarize, and brainstorm. The proliferation of generative AI tools poses serious questions for managers, such as: What tasks can be done by AI, what will humans still need to do, and what are the sustainable sources of competitive advantage as AI continues to improve? To understand the strategic implications of these new capabilities, managers need a framework for when AI will be helpful and when it might fail.

Don't Call It a Substack (anildash.com)
Email's been here for years. But the reason Substack wants you to call your creative work by their brand name is because they control your audience and distribution, and they want to own your content and voice, too. You may not think you care about that today, but you will when you see what they want to do with it.

Ask HN: Facebook is bullying me, what can I do? Warning (ycombinator.com)
I have a Facebook page for my business that was suspended because I was accused of "impersonating any business, celebrity, or public figure."
