🔥Quote/Prompt
Productivity is not about doing more. Productivity is about doing less, but better.
Use the quote as a writing or thinking prompt to finish your week strong.
A bit from mine:
(posted in our Doer Entrepreneurs Free Community — off social media)
Productivity is often mistaken as:
• Working faster
• Working harder
• Putting in more effort
• Using more bandwidth
• Working longer hours
NO. Just NO.
Productivity is about: […]

📈 Performance
This key takeaway is directly from the article but I couldn’t have said it better myself so I’m just pasting it for you below. Read the article!
The problem is that many hopeful high achievers assume that there is a single "best" way of operating, as if selecting a mindset is like choosing a software system: make the right choice and then rely on that approach every day without further thought or consideration.
⚙️ Optimization
Whether you’re an influencer or not, this research is about the relationship between an audience and the content creator. If you’re in business and put out any content on social media, that’s you.
This article goes through when it might make sense to go ahead and leave the negative comments visible. I’m choosing to include the excerpt that talks about when you might need to disable comments and step away for your mental health because I think it’s extremely important. The whole article is with a read though!
3. If You Find Yourself Needing a Break, Be Transparent
It’s worth noting that online influencers disable social media comments not only to avoid negative feedback following a specific incident, but also to protect their well-being. Fortunately, our work shows that consumers can be empathetic to those needs. In fact, two of our experiments show that the backlash against disabling comments is weakened or even eliminated when influencers are grieving a personal loss, such as the death of a family pet, or transparently acknowledging the need to take a mental health break.

🤖 AI
Excerpt below:
What links all the cases is the claim that tech companies ingested huge troves of human writings to train AI chatbots to produce human-like passages of text, without getting permission or compensating the people who wrote the original works. The legal challenges are coming not just from writers but visual artists, music labels and other creators who allege that generative AI profits have been built on misappropriation.
Anthropic and other tech companies have argued that training of AI models fits into the “fair use” doctrine of U.S. laws that allows for limited uses of copyrighted materials such as for teaching, research or transforming the copyrighted work into something different.
But the lawsuit against Anthropic accuses it of using a dataset called The Pile that included a trove of pirated books. It also disputes the idea that AI systems are learning the way humans do.
“Humans who learn from books buy lawful copies of them, or borrow them from libraries that buy them, providing at least some measure of compensation to authors and creators,” the lawsuit says.
