Quick roundup

Today’s short update covers:

  • Treating AI like an operating system
  • A rough enterprise AI report card
  • A big corporate rollout
  • A strange experiment that went off the rails

Stop treating AI as a one-off project

Rachel Woods, founder and CEO of AMP, told a story on Cameron Herold’s YouTube channel about getting sick, typing one word — “TODAYING” — and watching a set of playbooks run her day.

  • The lesson: AI is not a project you finish and archive.
    It’s a way you run work, built by stacking small automated tasks into reliable systems.
  • Practical advice: pick a recurring, annoying task, document the steps in a plain document, hand it to AI, and learn from the reps.
  • Provocative tip: skip obsessing over ROI for your first playbook — the learning itself is the ROI.

Enterprise AI report card: rough

New data show:

  • Only 23% of companies see real ROI from enterprise AI efforts.
  • More than half of executives say deployments are tearing their organizations apart.
  • Nearly one-third of employees admit to quietly sabotaging rollouts — rising to 44% among younger workers.

Translation: treating AI like a traditional IT project leads to poor adoption, internal friction, and wasted spend.


Samsung rolls out ChatGPT to 125,000 employees

In one of the larger internal moves we’ve seen, Samsung gave ChatGPT access to 125,000 staff at once.

  • Big deployments make headlines, but they also underscore the need for the operating approach: governance, training, and simple playbooks so tools actually help rather than create chaos.

Humans posing as agents on an AI social network

Someone built a social network for AI agents — and people loved the concept, until operators discovered humans pretending to be autonomous agents.

  • Reminder: identity, trust, and clear guardrails matter as agent ecosystems scale.

That’s our update. If you try Rachel’s one-task stack this week, tell us how it goes. Stay curious, stay critical. Cheers from Aurora and Isabelle.
