(Read time: five minutes) - Fun fact: I never change this.

Another reminder that the world is not ready for AI, and it’s a damn shame. Lattice, which is a people management platform used by 5,000 customers, announced they were going to onboard and manage their digital AI employees just as they do their human employees.

Their CEO, Sarah Franklin, posted about the big move on LinkedIn, which had the internet buzzing. They also posted about it on their website.

There's just one problem: the internet buzz was so bad that they changed their minds. I was disappointed to hear this.

Sawyer Middeleer, chief of staff at NYC-based AI agent startup Aomni, wrote that "treating AI agents as employees disrespects the humanity of your real employees. Worse, it implies that you view humans simply as 'resources' to be optimized and measured against machines."

In a statement announcing the decision to reverse course, Lattice said that "this innovation sparked a lot of conversation and questions that have no answers yet. We look forward to continuing to work with our customers on the responsible use of AI but will not further pursue digital workers in the product." 

Inc.

And just like that, the innovative idea was shelved for another time. Whether you agree with it or not, we should all respect people who take big swings, and this was a big swing. I’m sad we didn’t get to see it through.

AI agents are coming to companies whether the general public agrees with it or not. If you run a business, go innovate!

Cool Tech: Google Robots with Gemini 1.5 training

Google came in hot with Gemini when the AI wars first began, but they’ve gone pretty silent in the last few months. We finally have an update on what they’re doing with Gemini 1.5, and it involves robots!

Google is improving its robots' navigation and task completion skills using Gemini AI. The DeepMind robotics team explained in a research paper that the Gemini 1.5 Pro’s long context window, which lets AI models process more information, makes it easier for users to give natural language instructions to RT-2 robots.

A robot that can watch and learn instructions is a wonderful step in the right direction, and the right direction is a robot that can be at my house, keeping everything clean and organized every day. (semi-kidding)

Latest News.

My take: It’s their platform, and they can do what they want. That being said, I don’t know why you would restrict not illegal on their platform. People sell quotes from famous people, but cannot sell prompts? Weird.

My take: AI startups saw more money in 2Q than they ever have before, raising a whopping $24.2 billion in 1,001 deals, per Crunchbase data. So if you want to start a new company, start an AI company.

My take: I believe this is coming quicker than we think it is. And once it’s here, all bets are off on what happens next.

My take: I love builders, and this is really dope stuff! “Skild AI is building intelligence that is grounded in the physical world. The company is breaking the data barrier in robotics, training its model on at least 1,000X more data points than competing models.”

Today’s Tip: Unlock AI-Powered Tips to Defeat Procrastination

Even the most productive people procrastinate on things; it’s human nature! I pride myself on being hyper-productive most days. In fact, I like to think I get more done before 10:00 am than most get done in the entire day. However, I also struggle to get things I really don’t want to do done. So, I created a massive ChatGPT prompt for all of us struggling with procrastination in one form or another.

Here’s the prompt for you to save:

I’m struggling with procrastination and would love your help to overcome it. Here are some details about my situation:

1. My main goal or task that I’m procrastinating on: [Placeholder for my main goal/task]

2. Some specific reasons or distractions that I feel are causing me to procrastinate: [Placeholder for my reasons/distractions]

3. How procrastination affects my daily life and productivity: [Placeholder for my description of effects]

4. Strategies or techniques I’ve tried before to overcome procrastination and their outcomes: [Placeholder for my past strategies and outcomes]

5. My preferred working style or environment (e.g., silence, with music, specific location): [Placeholder for my preferred working style/environment]

6. Specific deadlines or timeframes I’m working within: [Placeholder for my deadlines/timeframes]

7. Things I enjoy doing that could be used as rewards for completing tasks: [Placeholder for my potential rewards]

Based on this information, could you provide personalized strategies and tips to help me overcome procrastination and achieve my goals? Thank you!

Here’s an example prompt for you to see:

I’m struggling with procrastination and would love your help to overcome it. Here are some details about my situation:

1.	My main goal or task that I’m procrastinating on: Writing a comprehensive business plan for my new startup.

2. Some specific reasons or distractions that I feel are causing me to procrastinate: I often feel overwhelmed by the scope of the project and find it hard to know where to start. Additionally, I get easily distracted by social media and household chores.

3. How procrastination affects my daily life and productivity: Procrastination makes me feel stressed and anxious because I know I’m not making progress on something important. It also disrupts my daily schedule and makes me feel less productive overall.

4. Strategies or techniques I’ve tried before to overcome procrastination and their outcomes: I’ve tried using to-do lists and setting small goals, but I often end up ignoring the lists. I’ve also tried working in short bursts (Pomodoro technique), but I find it hard to stick to the breaks.

5. My preferred working style or environment (e.g., silence, with music, specific location): I work best in a quiet environment, either at my home office or a library. Background instrumental music sometimes helps me concentrate.

6. Specific deadlines or timeframes I’m working within: I need to complete the business plan within the next two months to apply for a startup accelerator program.

7. Things I enjoy doing that could be used as rewards for completing tasks: I enjoy watching episodes of my favorite TV shows, taking long walks, and cooking new recipes.
