The writers behind this newsletter.
Author of Adopting AI, advisor to Shell, HSBC, Comcast, and Microsoft. Top-52 to follow on AI in 2026. Keynotes that cut to the heart of AI Adoption. paulgibbonsadvisory.com; polymathpoker.com
I teach AI fluency through documented failure and practical frameworks, from the perspective of a non-technical professional who's building real things and sharing what actually works (and what doesn't) in real time.
Through "Inside the Black Box", I translate how AI actually works—the hidden mechanisms, the failure modes, the surprising capabilities—into clear language for builders, creatives, and curious professionals.
I build human-first infrastructure for the AI era | Founder, bubble boss co. | Candid and wry observations on AI, identity, and what happens when your role changes.
After 17 years in one of the world's most powerful corporate cultures, I'm deprogramming myself and seeing who I become. I am a family man, champion athlete, and Google exec that struggled with mental health and told everyone about it.
Old nerd. Young heart. Loves playing at the boundaries of tech. Builder. Things I build: https://github.com/TheFeloniousMonk
