At this point in our collective AI journey, one thing is clear: AI is an output machine. Whether your output is words, code, images, plans, strategies, products—or even AI agents—the output is immense. Never before have we been able to produce so much, so quickly. In fact, we even had to invent a new term for it: workslop. The issue with so much output is that it’s a problem masquerading as a benefit. The barrier to entry to create almost anything is now so low—and the volume is so high—that output often obscures the real question we should be asking: What outcome are we actually trying to achieve? If you don’t answer that first, your output is almost certainly irrelevant. It might be impressive. It might even be “good.” But it’ll be good in the wrong direction.
AI Output vs Outcome: Is Your Productivity a Problem?

Most AI failures in sustainment aren’t technical problems. They start earlier and with fuzzy decision-making that wasn’t crisp to begin with. AI works when decisions are repeatable, bounded, and based on patterns that genuinely recur. It works when someone owns the call and the outcome. When that’s not true, AI doesn’t fix anything. It just makes bad decisions faster. In sustainment, AI excels at cutting through noise. But it can’t resolve fundamentally human problems. You need clarity before you can automate. Not the other way around. #Sustainment #ArtificialIntelligence #NavalAviation

The agent feedback loop is everything. But most people build it wrong. Wrong way: prompt, get code, run it, see error, prompt with error, repeat. This is a random walk. The AI is guessing at what "fixed" means. Right way: define tests, prompt, run tests, see specific failures, prompt with failures, repeat. This is gradient descent. The AI is optimizing toward explicit criteria. Same AI. Same prompts. Completely different trajectory. The quality of your feedback signal determines the quality of your output. Vague feedback equals vague results. Specific test failures equal specific fixes. Build the test harness first. Everything else gets easier. What feedback signal are you giving your AI? #AIAgents #FeedbackLoop #AICoding #TestDrivenDevelopment #DeveloperProductivity #CodingWithAI #AIWorkflow #BuildBetter #SoftwareEngineering #QualityCode

AI isn’t new to 6sense. It’s been in the DNA from day one. 🧬 Long before AI was a buzzword, 6sense was built around a simple idea: buyers signal intent before they ever raise their hand – and AI is how you see it. See how our thinking has evolved: from predicting in-market accounts to understanding when buying momentum builds, peaks, and fades. This isn’t about chasing the latest AI trend. It’s about years of investment in helping revenue teams answer one critical question: WHEN should we act? Because timing has always been the difference between noise and impact.

AI isn’t the future, it’s just the new electricity. There’ll be more of it everywhere, but we won’t run out of problems to solve. The winners won’t be the ones trying to compete with AI - they’ll be the ones who understand the problems deeply enough to deploy AI against them. That in itself is a skill. Being able to accurately describe the problem.

We’re in the middle of an AI bubble but not the kind that changes products. Most enterprise value won’t come from “agents doing everything.” It will come from a simple split: ML makes the decision. LLMs make it understandable. Humans own the risk. Use ML for what’s measurable: scoring, routing, prediction, anomaly detection. Use LLMs for what’s human: language, explanation, policy Q&A, summarizing, drafting. And when confidence drops, escalate don’t automate blindly. The future isn’t “AI that acts.” It’s AI that earns trust with evidence, guardrails, and outcomes you can measure. #AI #Agentic #OpenAI #Anthorpic #LLM #ML

Something I don’t see people talking about much: yes, AI lets us parallelize work and reduces opportunity cost. But no one is talking about how you can use it to speed up the cycle time of your own linear reasoning. The end state is one where AI thinks too quickly for us to manage and must begin to manage its own threads and that’s when we begin to accomplish ASI.

AI collapses the cost of iteration. The friction between idea → version → refinement is now nearly zero. This doesn't make AI creative. It gives YOU more chances to exercise your creativity. Before AI: 3 drafts, pick the best one After AI: 30 drafts in the same time, pick the best one The quality of your final output depends on how many iterations you can afford. AI just made iteration almost free. The question is: what will you do with that?

AI Works Best When It Stops Being Interesting When AI feels exciting, it tends to be distracting. The real value appears later—when it becomes predictable, unremarkable, and dependable. When it fades into the background the way email or spreadsheets once did. At that point, it’s no longer something you “try.” It’s something you quietly rely on. That shift—from novelty to utility—is where usefulness actually begins.
