I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but in this case I'll make an exception.
Behold, my Larry Lounge Lizard kit comes back to life as an AI product manager costume.
Meanwhile, I'll be vibing together a webinar on building shit with AI for PMs is coming November 13th.
Be there, or be square.

When the smoke clears from the AI bonfire of hype & vibe, the last one standing won’t be “ChatGPT for Pets.” It’ll be some beige B2B company quietly using AI to catch fraud or reroute trucks. Not sexy. Not viral. Just printing money while others pivot.

Great product managers don't negotiate in features, timelines, or headcount. They negotiate in the currency of trade-offs.

I created IKEA-style instructions for making the most out of a free breakfast bar at a hotel.

Being a manufacturing PM right now is like riding a unicycle across a tightrope during a windstorm—with a tariff tornado on one side & distributor déjà vu on the other. Trump Tariffs Topsy Turvy has suppliers jitterbugging and builders yelling, “Wait, which SKU are we building?”

Shopify just dropped the AI gauntlet. AI isn’t optional—it’s the job. For everyone. From prototypes to performance reviews, it’s embedded.
Curiosity isn’t enough—capability is required. As Tobi put it, “Everyone means everyone, all the time.”

Yeah, I've written a series of reusable prompts that ask some questions, then create custom collateral.

I agree. And for those of us on the receiving end, I'd suggest turning it into a superpower. At least that's what I've done for the past. It's paid off.

I thought I'd revive this 10-year-old meme, only this time I'd call out the 'garbage-in, garbage-out' "quality" of Bluesky content I'm seeing as a result of generative AI not being tempered with a human-in-the-loop step.

Channeling my inner @emollick.bsky.social I've come to discover that, similar to the strawberry spelling conundrum, many generative AI tools can't render a pushcart with square cartwheels.
So far, I've tried OpenArt, DALL-E, Copilot, ChatGPT Plus, Grok, & Llama. Of course, YMMV!

I'm not a cat lover, but know musician friends who are, on who's overcoming surgery. So I generated for them a collection and collage of #Caturday images in the mythological, linear & vibrant of Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli.
Hope you enjoy my art dabblings with various generative AI tools.

I decided to piss everyone off. I'm tired of the politics + I'm tired of all the generated AI images looking the same.
I think I figured out a way to generate unique images in the style of artists I admire & respect that are satirical & different.
Here are 60s movie posters in a Saul Bass styling.

I'm not trying to get political, I'm just trying to take an early '60s style movie poster I have some fun with a few play on words. The point is, these were created using a fingerprint style the artistic approach Saul Bass.

Dang, just when I got to everything in place to teach product management through interpretive wiggly-dancing ... this happens ...
... guess I should keep teaching how to use the PESTEL framework to help map out and anticipate external events that potentially render our roadmaps as roadkill.
