“At least one AI startup will raise a substantial round of financing before the investors realize that the company contains no actual humans and the founder is a bot.”

Ivan Gaviria, partner, Gunderson Dettmer

☕️ In 2024, our dedicated Deputy reader, Joseph W., is savoring the rich flavors of Guatemalan coffee beans roasted by Sumato Coffee. You can join Joseph in the coffee experience, but even if you're a Red Bull enthusiast, you're still on the same caffeine train, as Red Bull derives its caffeine from coffee beans.

Want a chance to enjoy some freshly roasted coffee too? Simply shoot us a reply to this email with "deputy coffee," and you could be the lucky recipient of a delightful coffee treat. Sip some!

Enough about coffee. Below is what’s going on with AI, jobs/hiring and fails.

Job News

Is there too much hype around AI? OR not enough?...

"Is AI overhyped or underrated? 🤖 Next week, we will be where AI will be front and center, CES in Las Vegas, where cutting-edge tech takes the spotlight. I am excited to learn what’s real and what’s hype. AI seems to be quietly reshaping industries, societies and ourselves. In regards to jobs, recruiting and the way we work, AI bots are quietly laying the foundation for new ventures, often unbeknownst to humans.

While we can't predict the future with a crystal ball, one thing's certain – AI is on a relentless evolutionary journey. As the initial novelty wears off, the AI technologies that genuinely address human challenges will rise to prominence.

So, what's your role in this AI-driven landscape? Embrace AI for your JOB as it's here to stay. Explore how you can collaborate with AI to tackle problems and enhance efficiency in your professional life. If you're part of a software-centric world, consider offering AI as a service to empower your customers.

Stay tuned for my exclusive CES updates on the latest AI trends and innovations!

BTW, quick thought: How will your profession be impacted by Automation? This will be a big topic at CES (180K attendees).

Overheard at coffee ☕️

Tired of facing New Year's resolution letdowns or setting corporate goals that lead to nowhere? Well, an AI bot is at your service to make sure you're on the right track. If you've returned to work this week and find yourself pondering your goals or simply need some guidance, let AI come to your aid.

Here's the game plan:

1. Grab a cup of Sumato Coffee (shameless plug) and Engage with ChatGPT, Claude, or another conversational AI bot.

2. Ask the AI to play the role of your personal goal planning assistant. Something like, "Imagine you're an executive coach helping individuals set achievable goals and guiding them through the process."

3. Share your aspirations for 2024, areas you wish to enhance, and more. Engage in a dialogue with the AI, as it will inquire further to better understand your objectives.

4. Request the AI to propose specific, SMART goals or resolutions that align with your professional or personal growth. For each goal, seek a detailed action plan, key milestones, or practical tips to keep you accountable.

Voilà! Your 2024 goals are ready to roll. Now comes the challenging part – putting in the work. Best of luck in 2024, and let's make those goals a reality!

🚀 Say goodbye to taking notes OR dealing with a cranky assistant. Use Otter.ai to take better notes.

Before you hire another assistant or spend too much time recapping your notes, give otter.ai a try. It will help you take notes better.

Our very own Tay Tay Nelson uses Otter.ai often.

Recruiting Fails: One of the memorable moments (or shall we say "low-lights") of 2023 for the Ramp Talent crew involved an unexpected twist in the hiring game. Here's how it played out:

Recruiter: "Hey there, Mike! Ready to chat with some stellar candidates for your team?"

Hiring Manager: "Absolutely, Ben! I'm all set to interview them. But by the way, do you have any job opportunities for me too?"

As we step into 2024, we're geared up to tackle whatever curveballs the year throws our way. Here's to another year of adaptability and surprises! 🎉
