Supreme Court allows federal workforce reductions to move forward; Anthropic makes generative AI widely available at major national lab

The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a district court order that prevented multiple federal agencies from carrying out reductions-in-force, clearing the way for those actions to resume. In an unsigned opinion, a majority of the justices granted the government's request for a stay of the lower court ruling, concluding that it will likely be successful on its argument that President Donald Trump's executive order directing agencies to make plans for RIFs and corresponding guidance from the White House were lawful. The justices, however, also emphasized that their ruling doesn't express a view on the legality of RIF or reorganization plans under that order and memo. The district court's preliminary injunction hinged on that court's view that Trump's order and the Office of Management and Budget's memo were unlawful and not on any of the plans specifically. Under the injunction from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, a wide array of federal agencies were required to halt their RIF plans — which included the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of State, Department of Commerce, and many more. It also prompted OMB to pause reviewing or discussing those plans with agencies, per FedScoop reporting. While other legal challenges are moving forward on agency RIFs, the Supreme Court's ruling, at least for now, means they can begin those actions again. Anthropic is making the enterprise version of its chatbot Claude available to the entire staff of the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, the artificial intelligence company announced Wednesday. The expansion comes as generative AI companies look to deepen their relationship with the federal government's national lab system — and amid growing interest in agencies' use of the technology. Anthropic said the expansion comes after a pilot, as well as an event in March that allowed thousands of scientists based at the California lab to learn about the technology. The company said the program, which involves its Claude for Enterprise product, constitutes one of the most significant lab deployments of AI at the Energy Department. As many as ten thousand national lab employees will now be able to use generative AI for their work. Lawrence Livermore will eventually have access to a forthcoming FedRAMP High service, once it's approved and accredited, meaning lab scientists will be able to use Claude on unclassified data that requires that level of accreditation.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the battle between artisanal, handcrafted, organic content and machine-made. The Etsys versus the Amazons. We’re talking specifically about the use of AI to make stuff. Katie, you had some thoughts and some things you’re wrestling with about this topic, so why don’t you set the table, if you will. Katie Robbert – 00:22 It’s interesting because we always talk about people first and AI forward and using these tools. I feel like what’s happened is now there’s a bit of a stigma around something that’s AI-generated. If you used AI, you’re cheating or you’re shortcutting or it’s no longer an original thought. I feel like in some circumstances that’s true. However, there are other circumstances, other situations, where using something like generative AI can perhaps get you past a roadblock. For example, if you haven’t downloaded it yet, please go ahead and download our free AI strategy kit. The AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, which you can find at TrustInsights AIkit, I took just about everything I know about running Trust Insights and I used generative AI to help me compile all of that information. Katie Robbert – 01:34 Then I, the human, went through, refined it, edited, made sure it was accurate, and I put it all into this kit. It has frameworks, examples, stories—everything you could use to be successful. Now I’m using generative AI to help me build it out as a course. I had a moment this morning where I was like, I really shouldn’t be using generative AI. I should be doing this myself because now it’s disingenuous, it’s not authentic, it’s not me because the tool is creating it faster. Then I stopped and I actually read through what was being created. It wasn’t just a simple create a course for me. Katie Robbert – 02:22 It was all my background and the Katie prompt and all of my refinements and expertise, and it wasn’t just a 2-second thing. I’ve been working on this for three straight days now, and that’s all I’ve been doing. So now I actually have an outline. But that’s not all I have. I have a lot more work to do. So I bring this all up to say, I feel like we get this stigma of, if I’m using generative AI, I’m cheating or I’m shortcutting or it’s not me. I had to step back and go, I myself, the human, would have written these exact words. It’s just written it for me and it’s done it faster. I’ve gotten past that “I can’t do it” excuse because now it’s done. Katie Robbert – 03:05 So Chris, what are your reactions to that kind of overthinking of using generative AI? Christopher S. Penn – 03:14 I have some very strong reactions and strong words for that sort of thinking, but I will put it in professional terms. We’re going to start with the 5 Ps. Katie Robbert – 03:25 Surprise, surprise. Christopher S. Penn – 03:27 What is the purpose of the content, and how do you measure the performance? If I write a book with generative AI, if you build a course with generative AI, does the content fulfill the purpose of helping a marketer or a business person do the thing? Do they deploy AI correctly after going through the TRIPS framework, or do they prompt better using the Repel framework, which is the fifth P—performance? If we make the thing and they consume the thing and it helps them, mission accomplished. Who cares who wrote it? Who cares how it’s written? If it accomplishes the purpose and benefits our customer—as a marketer, as a business person—that’s what we should be caring about, not whether AI made it or not. Christopher S. Penn – 04:16 A lot of the angst about the artisanal, handcrafted, organic, farm-raised, grass-fed content that’s out there is somewhat narcissistic on behalf of the marketers. I will say this. I understand the reason for it. I understand the motivation and understand the emotional concern—holy crap, this thing’s doing my job better than I do it! Because it made a course for me in 4 hours, it made a book for me in 2 hours, and it’s as good as I would have done it, or maybe better than I would have done it. There is that element of, if it does it, then what do I do? What value do I bring? You said it perfectly, Katie. It’s your ideas, it’s your content, it’s your guidance. Christopher S. Penn – 05:05 No one in corporate America or anywhere says to the CEO, you didn’t make these products. So Walmart, this is just not a valid product because the CEO did not handcraft this product. No, that’s ridiculous. You have manufacturers, you have subcontractors, you have partners and vendors that make the thing that you, as the CEO, represent the company and say, ‘Hey, this company made this thing.’ Look, here’s a metal scrubby for your grill. We have proven as consumers, we don’t actually care where it’s made. We just want it faster, cheaper, and better. We want a metal scrubby that’s a dollar less than the last metal scrubby we bought. So that’s my reaction: the people who are most vociferous, understandably and justifiably, are concerned about their welfare. Christopher S. Penn – 05:55 They’re concerned about their prospects of work. But if we take a step back as business people—as marketers—is what we’re making helping the customer? Now, there’s plenty of use cases of AI slop that isn’t helping anybody. Clearly that’s not what we’re talking about. In the example we’re talking about here with you, Katie, we’re talking about you distilling you into a form that’s going to help the customer. Katie Robbert – 06:21 That was the mental hurdle I had to get over. Because when I took a look at everything I was creating, yes, it’s a shortcut, but not a cheat. It’s a shortcut in that it’s just generating my words a little bit faster than I might because I’m a slow writer. I still had to do all of the foundational work. I still had to have 25 years of experience in my field. I still have to have solid, proven frameworks that I can go back to time and time again. I still have to be able to explain how to use them and when to use them and how to put all the pieces together. Generative AI will take a stab at it. If I don’t give it all that information, it’ll get it wrong. Katie Robbert – 07:19 So I still have to do the work. I still have to put all of that information in. So I guess what I’m coming to is, it feels like it’s moving faster, but I’m still looking at a mountain of work ahead of me in order to get this thing out the door. I keep talking about it now because it’s an accountability thing. If I keep saying it’s going to happen, people will start asking, ‘Hey, where was that thing you said you were going to do?’ So now I have to do it. So that’s part of why I keep talking about it now so that I’ll actually have follow through. I have so much work ahead of me. Katie Robbert – 07:54 Generative AI, if I want a good quality end product that I can stand behind and put my name on, Generative AI is only going to take it so far. I, the human, still have to do the work. Christopher S. Penn – 08:09 I had the exact same experience with my new book, Almost Timeless. AI assembled all of my words. What did I provide as a starting point? Five hours of audio recordings to start, which are in the deluxe version of the book. You can hear me ranting as I’m driving down the highway to Albany, New York. Audio quality is not great, but. Eighteen months of newsletters of my Almost Timeless newsletter as the foundation. Yes, generative AI created and wrote the book in 90 minutes. Yes, it rearranged my words. To your point, 30 years of technology experience, 18 months of weekly newsletters, and 5 hours of audio recording was the source material it drew from. Christopher S. Penn – 08:53 Which, by the way, is also a really important point from a copyright perspective, because I have proof—and even for sale in the deluxe edition—that the words are originally mine first as a human, as a tangible work. Then I basically made a derivative work of my stuff. That’s not cheating. That’s using the tools for what they’re best at. We have said in all of our courses and all of our things, these tools are really good at: extraction, summarization, classification, rewriting, synthesis, question answering. Generation is what they’re least good at. But every donkey in the interest going, ‘Let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.’ No, that’s the worst thing you can possibly use it for. Christopher S. Penn – 09:35 But if you say, ‘Here are all the raw ingredients. I did the work growing the wheat. I just am too tired to bake the bread today.’ Machine, bake the bread for me. It does, but it’s still you. And more importantly, to the fifth P, it is still valuable. Katie Robbert – 09:56 I think that’s where a lot of marketers and professionals in general—that’s a mental hurdle that they have to get over as well. Then you start to go into the other part of the conversation. You had started by saying people don’t care as long as it’s helpful. So how do we get marketers and professionals who are using Generative AI to not just spin up things that are sort of mediocre? How do we get them to actually create helpful things that are still them? Because that’s still hard work. I feel like we’re sort of at this crossroads with people wanting to use and integrate Generative AI—which is what the course is all about—how to do that. There’s the, ‘I just want the machine to do it for me.’ Katie Robbert – 10:45 Then there’s the, ‘but I still want my stamp on it.’ Those are sometimes conflicting agendas. Christopher S. Penn – 10:54 What do you always ask me, though, all the time in our company, Slack? Did you run this by our ICP—our ideal customer profile? Did you test this against what we know our customers want, what we know their needs are, what we know their pain points are, all the time, for everything. It’s one of the things we call—I call—knowledge blocks. It’s Lego, it’s made of data. Say, ‘Okay, we’ve got an ideal customer profile.’ Hey, I’ve got this course’s ideal customer profile. What do you think about it? Generated by AI says, ‘That’s not a bad idea, but here are your blind spots.’ There’s a specific set of prompts that I would strongly recommend anybody who’s using an ideal customer profile use. They actually come from coding. Christopher S. Penn – 11:37 It goes like this: What’s good, if anything, about my idea? If there’s nothing good, say so. What’s bad about my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing bad, say so. What’s missing from my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing, say so. What’s unnecessary from my idea, if nothing, say so. Those four questions, with an ideal customer profile, with your idea, solve exactly that problem. Katie, is this any good? Because generative AI, if you give it specific directions—say, ‘Tell me what I’m doing wrong here’—it will gladly tell you exactly what you’ve done wrong. Katie Robbert – 12:16 It’s funny you bring that up because we didn’t have this conversation beforehand. You obviously know the stuff that I’m working on, but you haven’t been in the weeds with me. I did that exact process. I put the outline together and then I ran it past our ideal customer profile, actually our mega. We’ve created a mega internal one that has 25 different profiles in it. I ran it past that, and I said, ‘Score it.’ What am I missing? What are the gaps? Is this useful? Is it not? I think the first version got somewhere between a 7 to 9 out of 10. That’s pretty good, but I can do better. What am I missing? What are the gaps? What are the blind spots? Katie Robbert – 12:56 When it pointed out the things I was missing, it was sort of the ‘duh, of course that’s missing.’ Why wouldn’t I put that in there? That’s breathing air to me. When you’re in the weeds, it’s hard to see that. At the same time, using generative AI is having yourself, if you’re prompting it correctly, look over your own shoulder and go, ‘You missed a spot. You missed that there.’ Again, it has to be your work, your expertise. The original AI kit I used 3 years, 52 weeks a year—so whatever, 150 posts to start—plus the work we do at Trust Insights, plus the frameworks, plus this, plus that, on all stuff that has been carried over into the creation of this course. Katie Robbert – 13:49 So when I ask generative AI, I’m really asking myself, what did I forget? What do I always talk about that isn’t in here? What was missing from the first version was governance and change management communication. Because I was so focused on the tactical. Here’s how you do things. I forgot about, But how do you tell people that you’re going to do the thing? It was such an ‘oh my goodness’ moment. How could I possibly forget that? Because I’m human. Christopher S. Penn – 14:24 You’re human, and humans are also focus engines. We are biologically focus engines. We look at a thing: ‘Is that thing going to eat me or not?’ We have a very hard time seeing the big picture, both metaphorically and literally. We especially are super bad at, ‘What don’t we see in the picture?’ What’s not in this picture? We can’t. It’s just one of the hardest things for us to mentally do. Machines are the opposite. Machines, because of things—latent training, knowledge training, database search, grounding, and the data that we provide—are superb at seeing the big picture. Sometimes they really have trouble focusing. ‘Please write in my tone of voice.’ No, by the way. It’s the opposite. Christopher S. Penn – 15:09 So paired together, our focus, our guidance, our management, and the machine’s capability to see the big picture is how you create great outputs. I’m not surprised at all by the process and stuff that I said essentially what you did, because you’re the one who taught it to me. Katie Robbert – 15:27 It’s funny, one of the ways to keep myself in check with using generative AI is I keep going back to what would the ICP say about this? I feel having that tool, having that research already done, is helping me keep the generative AI focused. We also have written out Katie’s writing style. So I can always refer back to what would the ICP say? Is that how Katie would say it? Because I’m Katie, I could be, ‘That’s not how I would say it.’ Let me go ahead and tweak things. Katie Robbert – 16:09 For those of us who have imposter syndrome, or we overthink or we have anxiety about putting stuff out in public because it’s vulnerable, what I found is that these tools, if prompted correctly, using your expertise—because you have it. So use it. Get you past that hurdle of, ‘It’s too hard.’ I can’t do it. I have writer’s block. That was where I was stuck, because I’ve been hearing you and Kelsey and John saying, ‘Write a book, do a course, do whatever.’ Do something. Do anything. For the love of God, do something. Let me do it. Generative AI is getting me over that hurdle where now I’m looking at it, ‘That wasn’t so bad.’ Now I can continue to take it. Katie Robbert – 16:55 I needed that push to start it. For me. For some people, they say, ‘I can write it, and then generative AI can edit it.’ I’m someone who needs that push of the initial: ‘Here’s what I’m thinking: Can you write it out for me, and then I can take it to completion?’ Christopher S. Penn – 17:14 That’s a mental thing. That is a very much a writing thing. Some people are better editors than writers. Some people are better writers than editors. Rare are the people who are good at both. If you are the person who is paralyzed by the blank page, even a crap prompt will give you something to react to. Generative alcohol. A blog post might be marketing. You’ll look at it and go, ‘This is garbage.’ Oh my God. It changed this. Has changed this. Change this. By the time you’re done reacting to it, you did. That, to me, is one of the great benefits of these tools is to: Christopher S. Penn – 17:48 It’s okay if it does a crappy job on the first draft, because if you are a person who’s naturally more of an editor, you can be, ‘Great.’ That is awful. I’m going to go fix that. Katie Robbert – 17:58 As much as I want to say I’m a better writer, I’m actually a better editor. I think that once I saw that in myself as my skill set, then I was able to use the tools more correctly because now I’m going through this 40-page course outline, which is a lot. Now I can edit it because now I actually know what I want, what I don’t want. It’s still my work. Christopher S. Penn – 18:25 That is completely unsurprising to me because if we think about it, there’s a world of difference in skill sets between being a good manager and being a good individual contributor. A good manager is effectively in many ways a good editor, because you’re looking at your team, looking at your people, looking at the output, saying, ‘Let’s fix this. Let’s do this a little bit better. Let’s do this a little less.’ Being good at Generative AI is actually being a good manager. How do I delegate properly? How do I give feedback and things like that? The nice thing is, though, you can say things to Generative AI that would get you fired by HR if you send them to a human. Christopher S. Penn – 19:01 For people who are better managers than individual contributors, of course it makes sense that you would use AI. You would find benefit to having AI do the first draft and saying, ‘Let me manage you. Let me help you get this right.’ Katie Robbert – 19:15 So, Chris, when you think about creating something new with Generative AI, what side of the conversation do you fall on? Do you create something and then have Generative AI refine it, or what does your process look like? Christopher S. Penn – 19:36 I’ve been talking about this for five years, so I’m finally going to do it. This book, Beyond Development Rope, about private social media communities. I’ve mentioned it, we’ve done webinars on it. Guess what I haven’t done? Finish it. So what am I going to do over the holiday weekend? Christopher S. Penn – 19:53 I’m going to get out my voice recorder and I’m going to look at what I’ve done so far because I have 55 pages worth of half-written, various versions that all suck and say, ‘Ask me questions, Generative AI, about my outline. Ask me what I’ve created content for. Ask me what I haven’t created content for. Make me a long list of questions to answer.’ I’m going to get my voice recorded. I’m going to answer all those questions. That will be the raw materials, and then that gets fed back to a tool like Gemini or Claude or ChatGPT. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to say, ‘Great, you got my writing style guide. You’ve got the outline that we agreed upon.’ Reassemble my words using as many of them verbatim as you can. Write the book. Christopher S. Penn – 20:38 That’s exactly what I did with Almost Timeless. I said, ‘Just reassemble my words.’ It was close to 600,000 words of stuff, 18 months of newsletters. All it had to do was copy-paste. That’s really what it is. It’s just a bunch of copy-pasting and a little bit of smoothing together. So I am much more that I will make the raw materials. I have no problem making the raw materials, especially if it’s voice, because I love to talk and then it will clean up my mess. Katie Robbert – 21:11 In terms of process. I now have these high-level outlines for each of the modules and the lessons, and it’s decent detail, but there’s a lot that needs to be edited, and that’s where, again, I’m finding this paralysis of ‘this is a lot of work to do.’ Would you suggest I do something similar to what you’re doing and record voice notes as I’m going through each of the modules and lessons with my thoughts and feedback and what I would say, and then give that back to Generative AI and say, ‘Fix your work.’ Is that a logical next step? Christopher S. Penn – 21:49 I would do that. I would also take everything you’ve done so far and say, ‘Make me a list of 5 questions per module that I need to answer for this module to serve our ICP well.’ Then it will give you the long list. You just print out a sheet of paper and you go, ‘Okay, questions,’ and turn the voice. Question 7: How do I get adoption for people who are resistant to AI? Let me think about this. We can’t just fire them, throw them in a chipper shredder, but we can figure out what their actual fears are and then maybe try to address them. Or let’s just fire them. Katie Robbert – 22:25 So you really do listen to me. Christopher S. Penn – 22:29 That list of questions, if you are stuck at the blank page, ‘Here I can answer questions.’ That’s something you do phenomenally well as a manager. You ask questions and you listen to the answers. So you’ve got questions that it’s given you. Now you can help it provide the answers. Katie Robbert – 22:49 Interesting. I like that because I feel another stigma. We get into with generative AI is that we have to know exactly what the next step is supposed to be in order to use it properly. You have to know what you’re doing. That’s true to a certain extent. It’s more important that you know the subject matter versus how to use the tool in a specific way. Because you can say to the tool, ‘I don’t know what to do next. What should I do?’ But if you don’t have expertise in the topic, it doesn’t matter what it tells you to do, you can’t move forward. That’s another stigma of using generative AI: I have to be an expert in the tool. Katie Robbert – 23:36 It doesn’t matter what I know outside of the tool. Christopher S. Penn – 23:40 One of the things that makes people really uncomfortable is the fact that these tools in two and a half years have gone from face rolling. GPT-4 in January 2023. For those who are listening, I’m showing a chart of the Diamond GPQA score, which is human-level difficult questions and answers that AI engines are asked to answer 2 and a half years later. Gemini 2.5 from April 2025. Now answers above the human PhD range. In 2 and a half years we’ve gone from face-rolling moron that can barely answer anything to better than a PhD at everything properly prompted. So you don’t need to be an expert in the tool? Absolutely not. You can be. What you have to be an expert in is asking good questions and having good ideas. Yes, subject matter expertise sometimes is important. Christopher S. Penn – 24:34 But asking good questions and being a good critical thinker. We had a case the other day. A client said, ‘We’ve got this problem.’ Do you know anything about it? Not a thing. However, I’m really good at asking questions. So what I did was I built a deep research prompt that said, ‘Here’s the problem I’m trying to solve.’ Build me a step-by-step tutorial from this product’s documentation of how to diagnose this problem. It took 20 minutes. It came back with the tutorial, and then I put that back into Gemini and said, ‘We’re going to follow the step-by-step.’ Tell me what to do. I just copied and pasted screenshots. I asked dumb questions, and unlike a human, ‘That’s nice. Let me help you with that.’ Christopher S. Penn – 25:11 When I was done, even though I didn’t know the product at all, I was able to fulfill the full diagnosis and give the client a deliverable that, ‘Great, this solved my problem.’ To your point, you don’t need to be an expert in everything. That’s what AI is for. Be an expert at asking good questions, being an expert at being yourself, and being an expert at having great ideas. Katie Robbert – 25:39 I think that if more people start to think that way, the tools themselves won’t feel so overwhelming and daunting. I can’t keep up with all the changes with generative AI. It’s just a piece of software. When I was having my overthinking moment this morning of, ‘Why am I using generative AI? It’s not me,’ I was also thinking, ‘It’s the same thing as saying, why am I using a CRM when I have a perfectly good Rolodex on my desk?’ Because the CRM is going to automate. It’s going to take out some of the error. Katie Robbert – 26:19 It’s going to—the use cases for the CRM, which is what my manual Rolodex, although it’s fun to flip, doesn’t actually do a whole lot anymore—and it’s hard to maintain. Thinking about generative AI in similar ways—it’s just a tool that’s going to help me do the thing faster—takes a lot of that stigma off of it. Christopher S. Penn – 26:45 If you think about it in business and management terms, can you imagine saying to another CEO, ‘Why do you have employees?’ You should do all by yourself? That’s ridiculous. You hire a problem solver—maybe it’s human, maybe it’s machine—but you hire for it because it solves the problem. You only have 24 hours in a day, and you’d like 16 of them with your dog and your husband. Katie Robbert – 27:12 I think we need to be shedding that stigma and thinking about it in those terms, where it’s just another tool that’s going to help you do your job. If you’re using it to do everything for you and you don’t have that critical thinking and original ideas, then your stuff’s going to be mediocre and you’re going to say, ‘I thought I could do everything.’ That’s a topic for a different day. Christopher S. Penn – 27:34 That is a topic for a different day. But if you are able to think about it as though you were delegating to another person, how would you delegate? What would you have the person challenge you on? Think about it as you say: It’s a digital version of Katie. I think it’s a great way to think about it because you can say, ‘How would I solve this problem?’ We often say when we’re doing our own stuff, ‘How would you treat Trust Insights if it was a client?’ I wouldn’t defer maintenance on our mail server for 3 years. Katie Robbert – 28:13 Whoopsies. Christopher S. Penn – 28:15 It’s exactly the same thing with AI. So that stigma of, I’m feeding, somehow you are getting to bigger, better, faster, cheaper, and better. Probably cheaper than you would without it. Ultimately, if you’re using it well, you are delivering better performance for yourself, for your customers—which is what really matters—and making yourself more valuable and freeing up your time to make more stuff. So, real simple example: this book that I’ve been sitting on for five years, I’m going to crank that out in probably a day and a half of audio recordings. Does that help? I think the book’s useful, so I think it’s going to help people. So I almost have a moral obligation to use AI to get it out into the world so it can help people. That’s a, that’s kind of a re— Christopher S. Penn – 29:04 A reframe to think about. Do you have a moral obligation to help the world with your knowledge? If so, because you’re not willing to use AI, you’re doing the world a disservice. Katie Robbert – 29:19 I don’t know if I have an obligation, but I think it will be helpful to people. I am. I’m looking forward to finishing the course, getting it out the door so that I can start thinking about what’s next. Because oftentimes when we have these big things in front of us, we can’t think about what’s next. So I’m ready to think about what’s next. I’m ready to move on from this. So for me personally, selfishly, using generative AI is going to get me to that ‘what’s next’ faster. Christopher S. Penn – 29:49 Exactly.

He is a former executive with BombBomb, and currently holds a senior executive role at Gan AI, an innovative company leading the charge in generative artificial intelligence.     The Future of Automotive Sales: Embracing The Generative AI Revolution Key Takeaways: Generative AI as a Game Changer: Video isn't just the future; it's the standard for engaging the modern car buyer with AI-driven personalized video communications. Automation and Personalization Synergy: Combining AI with CRM systems ensures personalized, consistent follow-ups, hitting the sweet spot of automation and human touch. Unparalleled Competitive Edge: Embracing Generative AI technology in a dealership's arsenal is pivotal in creating an unfair competitive advantage, significantly increasing customer engagement and sales volumes. The automotive industry isn't just turning a corner with technological innovations; it's racing down a highway of revolutionary change. At the forefront of this transformation is Generative AI, a breakthrough poised to redefine how dealerships engage with customers. As highlighted in the lively discussion from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, Ted Horton of GAN AI and Sean V. Bradley unveil the profound impact of AI-driven video content on dealership operations, painting a future where AI doesn't replace human effort— it amplifies it. In this comprehensive exploration, we dive deep into how Generative AI is reshaping the automotive sales landscape, emphasizing its strategic integration for maximized value and efficiency. Generative AI: Reimagining Customer Engagement In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, video content is no longer an option but an imperative. "The ability to record these avatars and have them automatically generated real time within seconds…accelerates deal velocity," Ted Horton emphasizes, illustrating the profound capabilities of Generative AI in dealership processes. By leveraging AI to create personalized, dynamic videos instantaneously, dealerships meet customers' growing expectations for immediacy and personalization, creating stronger connections and more profound engagement. Automated AI videos can now incorporate customer-specific data—like name, vehicle type, and more—into tailored communications. The result is not only an uplift in sales but a seismic shift in how relationships are formed and nurtured digitally. The phrase "Video isn't the future. It's the present" underscores the urgency of adopting such technologies. With statistics showing that video content dramatically increases customer engagement and conversion rates, it's evident that AI's role in crafting these interactions is not just advantageous but essential. CRM and AI: A Harmonious Blend for Success Central to the transformative power of Generative AI is its seamless integration with CRM systems. This synergy ensures consistency and personalization in outreach efforts. Horton notes, "Video AI," when combined with CRM automation, is like having an omnipresent BDC (Business Development Center), eliminating human errors and providing constant, tailored customer interactions. Essentially, AI orchestrates a symphony of data and communication, effectively automating what was once a manual and error-prone process. For dealerships, this harmony transcends traditional sales methodologies. As Bradley states, by "launching automation flows for easy each use case," dealerships not only streamline processes but elevate them—ensuring customers receive relevant, personalized content at every touchpoint. This strategic blueprint for AI integration into CRM systems not only enhances the customer experience but dramatically increases sales performance, offering dealerships a distinct and sustainable competitive edge. The Competitive Power of AI Video in Dealerships The extraordinary potential of Generative AI isn't just in automating video creation—it's in redefining competition within the market. Dealers utilizing AI video capabilities are observing tangible improvements in sales, as evidenced by Longo Toyota's case, which highlighted a substantial increase in sales through personalized video strategies. Bradley reinforces this notion by providing a stark warning: "Every minute, every hour, every day that you waste procrastinating… is dollars lost." By harnessing the power of Generative AI, dealerships position themselves as industry leaders—actively investing in technology that not only facilitates sales but builds robust customer relationships. The lexicon of automotive sales is thus expanded, with AI serving as a tool not of replacement, but of enhancement and opportunity. It's a call to action for dealers to pivot from antiquated methodologies towards a future enriched by AI innovation, which promises not just survival, but dominance in the competitive marketplace. Time waits for no one, as echoed in the poetic recitation towards the end, reminding us of the fleeting nature of opportunity. The automotive industry stands on the precipice of a technological renaissance, with Generative AI as the catalyst speeding this evolution. Embracing AI technologies is no longer optional but essential, enabling dealerships to break free from the constraints of traditional processes and unlock unprecedented potential. Dealerships equipped with AI capabilities aren't just adapting to change—they're defining it. As the industry continues its evolutionary journey, those daring to innovate with Generative AI and video technology will indeed lead the pack.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, part two of our Sophomore Slump series. Boy, that’s a mouthful. Katie Robbert – 00:07 We love alliteration. Christopher S. Penn – 00:09 Yahoo. Last week we talked about what the sophomore slump is, what it looks like, and some of the reasons for it—why people are not getting value out of AI and the challenges. This week, Katie, the sophomore slump, you hear a lot in the music industry? Someone has a hit album and then their sophomore album, it didn’t go. So they have to figure out what’s next. When you think about companies trying to get value out of AI and they’ve hit this sophomore slump, they had early easy wins and then the easy wins evaporated, and they see all the stuff on LinkedIn and wherever else, like, “Oh, look, I made a million dollars in 28 minutes with generative AI.” And they’re, “What are we doing wrong?” Christopher S. Penn – 00:54 How do you advise somebody on ways to think about getting out of their sophomore slump? What’s their next big hit? Katie Robbert – 01:03 So the first thing I do is let’s take a step back and see what happened. A lot of times when someone hits that sophomore slump and that second version of, “I was really successful the first time, why can’t I repeat it?” it’s because they didn’t evolve. They’re, “I’m going to do exactly what I did the first time.” But your audience is, “I saw that already. I want something new, I want something different.” Not the exact same thing you gave me a year ago. That’s not what I’m interested in paying for and paying attention to. Katie Robbert – 01:36 So you start to lose that authority, that trust, because it’s why the term one hit wonder exists—you have a one hit wonder, you have a sophomore slump. You have all of these terms, all to say, in order for people to stay interested, you have to stay interesting. And by that, you need to evolve, you need to change. But not just, “I know today I’m going to color my hair purple.” Okay, cool. But did anybody ask for that? Did anybody say, “That’s what I want from you, Katie? I want purple hair, not different authoritative content on how to integrate AI into my business.” That means I’m getting it wrong because I didn’t check in with my customer base. Katie Robbert – 02:22 I didn’t check in with my audience to say, “Okay, two years ago we produced some blog posts using AI.” And you thought that was great. What do you need today? And I think that’s where I would start: let’s take a step back. What was our original goal? Hopefully you use the 5Ps, but if you didn’t, let’s go ahead and start using them. For those who don’t know, 5Ps are: purpose—what’s the question you’re trying to answer? What’s the problem you’re trying to solve? People—who is involved in this, both internally and externally? Especially here, you want to understand what your customers want, not just what you think you need or what you think they need. Process—how are you doing this in a repeatable, scalable way? Katie Robbert – 03:07 Platform—what tools are you using, but also how are you disseminating? And then performance—how are you measuring success? Did you answer the question? Did you solve the problem? So two years later, a lot of companies are saying, “I’m stalled out.” “I wanted to optimize, I wanted to innovate, I wanted to get adoption.” And none of those things are happening. “I got maybe a little bit of optimization, I got a little bit of adoption and no innovation.” So the first thing I would do is step back, run them through the 5P exercise, and try to figure out what were you trying to do originally? Why did you bring AI into your organization? One of the things Ginny Dietrich said is that using AI isn’t the goal and people start to misframe it as, “Well,” Katie Robbert – 04:01 “We wanted to use AI because everyone else is doing it.” We saw this question, Chris, in, I think, the CMI Slack group a couple weeks ago, where someone was saying, “My CEO is, ‘We gotta use AI.’ That’s the goal.” And it’s, “But that’s not a goal.” Christopher S. Penn – 04:18 Yeah, that’s saying, “We’re gonna use blenders. It’s all blenders.” And you’re, “But we’re a sushi shop.” Katie Robbert – 04:24 But why? And people should be asking, “Why do you need to use a blender? Why do you need to use AI? What is it you’re trying to do?” And I think that when we talk about the sophomore slump, that’s the part that people get stuck on: they can’t tell you why they still. Two years later—two years ago, it was perfectly acceptable to start using AI because it was shiny, it was new, everybody was trying it, they were experimenting. But as you said in part one of this podcast series, people are still stuck in using what should be the R&D version of AI. So therefore, the outputs they’re getting are still experimental, are still very buggy, still need a lot of work, fine-tuning, because they’re using the test bed version as their production version. Katie Robbert – 05:19 And so that’s where people are getting stuck because they can’t clearly define why they should be using generative AI. Christopher S. Penn – 05:29 One of the markers of AI maturity is how many—you can call them agents if you want—pieces of software have you created that have AI built into it but don’t require you to be piloting it? So if you were copying and pasting all day, every day, inside and outside of ChatGPT or the tool of your choice, and you’re the copy-paste monkey, you’re basically still stuck in 2023. Yes, your prompts hopefully have gotten better, but you are still doing the manual work as opposed to saying, “I’m going to go check on my marketing strategy and see what’s in my inbox this week from my various AI tool stack.” Christopher S. Penn – 06:13 And it has gone out on its own and downloaded your Google Analytics data, it has produced a report, and it has landed that report in your inbox. So we demoed a few weeks ago on the Trust Insights live stream, which you can catch at Trust Insights YouTube, about taking a sales playbook, taking CRM data, and having it create a next best action report. I don’t copy-paste that. I set, say, “Go,” and the report kind of falls out onto my hard drive like, “Oh, great, now I can share this with the team and they can at least look at it and go, ‘These are the things we need to do.'” But that’s taking AI out of experimental mode, copy-paste, human mode, and moving it into production where the system is what’s working. Christopher S. Penn – 07:03 One of the things we talk about a lot in our workshops and our keynotes is these AI tools are like the engine. You still need the rest of the car. And part of maturity of getting out of the sophomore slump is to stop sitting on the engine all day wondering why you’re not going down the street and say, “Perhaps we should put this in the car.” Katie Robbert – 07:23 Well, and so, you mentioned the AI, how far people are in their AI maturity and what they’ve built. What about people who maybe don’t feel like they have the chops to build something, but they’re using their existing software within their stack that has AI built in? Do you think that falls under the AI maturity? As in, they’re at least using some. Something. Christopher S. Penn – 07:48 They’re at least using something. But—and I’m going to be obnoxious here—you can ask AI to build the software for you. If you are good at requirements gathering, if you are good at planning, if you’re good at asking great questions and you can copy-paste basic development commands, the machines can do all the typing. They can write Python or JavaScript or the language of your choice for whatever works in your company’s tech stack. There is not as much of an excuse anymore for even a non-coder to be creating code. You can commission a deep research report and say, “What are the best practices for writing Python code?” And you could literally, that could be the prompt, and it will spit back, “Here’s the 48-page document.” Christopher S. Penn – 08:34 And you say, “I’ve got a knowledge block now of how to do this.” I put that in a Google document and that can go to my tool and say, “I want to write some Python code like this.” Here’s some best practices. Help me write the requirements—ask me one question at a time until you have enough information for a good requirements document. And it will do that. And you’ll spend 45 minutes talking with it, having a conversation, nothing technical, and you end up with a requirements document. You say, “Can you give me a file-by-file plan of how to make this?” And it will say, “Yes, here’s your plan.” 28 pages later, then you go to a tool like Jules from Google. Say, “Here’s the plan, can you make this?” Christopher S. Penn – 09:13 And it will say, “Sure, I can make this.” And it goes and types, and 45 minutes later it says, “I’ve done your thing.” And that will get you 95% of the way there. So if you want to start getting out of the sophomore slump, start thinking about how can we build the car, how can we start connecting this stuff that we know works because you’ve been doing in ChatGPT for two years now. You’ve been copy-pasting every day, week, month for two years now. It works. I hope it works. But the question that should come to mind is, “How do I build the rest of the car around so I can stop copy-pasting all the time?” Katie Robbert – 09:50 So I’m going to see you’re obnoxious and raise you a condescending and say, “Chris, you skipped over the 5P framework, which is exactly what you should have been using before you even jump into the technology.” So you did what everybody does wrong and you went technology first. And so, you said, “If you’re good at requirements gathering, if you’re good at this, what if you’re not good at those things?” Not everyone is good at clearly articulating what it is they want to do or why they want to do it, or who it’s for. Those are all things that really need to be thought through, which you can do with generative AI before you start building the thing. So you did what every obnoxious software developer does and go straight to, “I’m going to start coding something.” Katie Robbert – 10:40 So I’m going to tell you to slow your roll and go through the 5Ps. And first of all, what is it? What is it you’re trying to do? So use the 5P framework as your high-level requirements gathering to start before you start putting things in, before you start doing the deep research, use the 5Ps and then give that to the deep research tool. Give that to your generative AI tool to build requirements. Give that along with whatever you’ve created to your development tool. So what is it you’re trying to build? Who is it for? How are they going to use it? How are you going to use it? How are you going to maintain it? Because these systems can build code for you, but they’re not going to maintain it unless you have a plan for how it’s going to be maintained. Katie Robbert – 11:30 It’s not going to be, “Guess what, there’s a new version of AI. I’m going to auto-update myself,” unless you build that into part of the process. So you’re obnoxious, I’m condescending. Together we make Trust Insights. Congratulations. Christopher S. Penn – 11:48 But you’re completely correct in that the two halves of these things—doing the 5Ps, then doing your requirements, then thinking through what is it we’re going to do and then implementing it—is how you get out of the sophomore slump. Because the sophomore slump fundamentally is: my second album didn’t go so well. I’ve gotta hit it out of the park again with the third album. I’ve gotta remain relevant so that I’m not, whatever, what was the hit? That’s the only thing that anyone remembers from that band. At least I think. Katie Robbert – 12:22 I’m going to let you keep going with this example. I think it’s entertaining. Christopher S. Penn – 12:27 So your third album has to be, to your point, something that is impactful. It doesn’t necessarily have to be new, but it has to be impactful. You have to be able to demonstrate bigger, better, faster or cheaper. So here’s how we’ve gotten to bigger, better, faster, cheaper, and those two things—the 5Ps and then following the software development life cycle—even if you’re not the one making the software. Because in a lot of ways, it’s no different than outsourcing, which people have been doing for 30 years now for software, to say, “I’m going to outsource this to a developer.” Yeah, instead of the developer being in Bangalore, the developer is now a generative AI tool. You still have to go through those processes. Christopher S. Penn – 13:07 You still have to do the requirements gathering, you still have to know what good QA looks like, but the turnaround cycle is much faster and it’s a heck of a lot cheaper. And so if you want to figure out your next greatest hit, use these processes and then build something. It doesn’t have to be a big thing; build something and start trying out the capabilities of these tools. At a workshop I did a couple weeks ago, we took a podcast that a prospective client was on, and a requirements document, and a deep research document. And I said, “For your pitch to try and win this business, let’s turn it to a video game.” And it was this ridiculous side-scrolling shooter style video game that played right in a browser. Christopher S. Penn – 14:03 But everyone in the room’s, “I didn’t know AI could do that. I didn’t know AI could make me a video game for the pitch.” So you would give this to the stakeholder and the stakeholder would be, “Huh, well that’s kind of cool.” And there was a little button that says, “For the client, boost.” It is a video game bonus boost. That said they were a marketing agency, and so ad marketing, it made the game better. That capability, everyone saw it and went, “I didn’t know we could do that. That is so cool. That is different. That is not the same album as, ‘Oh, here’s yet another blog post client that we’ve made for you.'” Katie Robbert – 14:47 The other thing that needs to be addressed is what have I been doing for the past two years? And so it’s a very human part of the process, but you need to do what’s called in software development, a post-mortem. You need to take a step back and go, “What did we do? What did we accomplish? What do we want to keep? What worked well, what didn’t work?” Because, Chris, you and I are talking about solutions of how do you get to the next best thing. But you also have to acknowledge that for two years you’ve been spending time, resources, dollars, audience, their attention span on these things that you’ve been creating. So that has to be part of how you get out of this slump. Katie Robbert – 15:32 So if you said, “We’ve been able to optimize some stuff,” great, what have you optimized? How is it working? Have you measured how much optimization you’ve gotten and therefore, what do you have left over to then innovate with? How much adoption have you gotten? Are people still resistant because you haven’t communicated that this is a thing that’s going to happen and this is the direction of the company or it’s, “Use it, we don’t really care.” And so that post-mortem has to be part of how you get out of this slump. If you’re, since we’ve been talking about music, if you’re a recording artist and you come out with your second album and it bombs, the record company’s probably going to want to know what happened. Katie Robbert – 16:15 They’re not going to be, “Go ahead and start on the third album. We’re going to give you a few million dollars to go ahead and start recording.” They’re going to want to do a deep-dive analysis of what went wrong because these things cost money. We haven’t talked about the investment. And it’s going to look different for everyone, for every company, and the type of investment is going to be different. But there is an investment, whether it’s physical dollars or resource time or whatever—technical debt, whatever it is—those things have to be acknowledged. And they have to be acknowledged of what you’ve spent the past two years and how you’re going to move forward. Katie Robbert – 16:55 I know the quote is totally incorrect, but it’s the Einstein quote of, “You keep doing the same thing over and it’s the definition of insanity,” which I believe is not actually something he said or what the quote is. But for all intents and purposes, for the purpose of this podcast, that’s what it is. And if you’re not taking a step back to see what you’ve done, then you’re going to move forward, making the same mistakes and doing the same things and sinking the same costs. And you’re not really going to be moving. You’ll feel you’re moving forward, but you’re not really doing that, innovating and optimizing, because you haven’t acknowledged what you did for the past two years. Christopher S. Penn – 17:39 I think that’s a great way of putting it. I think it’s exactly the way to put it. Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. That’s not entirely true, but it is for this discussion. It is. And part of that, then you have to root-cause analysis. Why are we still doing the same thing? Is it because we don’t have the knowledge? Is it because we don’t have a reason to do it? Is it because we don’t have the right people to do it? Is it because we don’t know how to do it? Do we have the wrong tools? Do we not make any changes because we haven’t been measuring anything? So we don’t know if things are better or not? All five of those questions are literally the 5Ps brought to life. Christopher S. Penn – 18:18 And so if you want to get out of the sophomore slump, ask each of those questions: what is the blocking obstacle to that? For example, one of the things that has been on my list to do forever is write a generative AI integration to check my email for me and start responding to emails automatically. Katie Robbert – 18:40 Yikes. Christopher S. Penn – 18:43 But that example—the purpose of the performance—is very clear. I want to save time and I want to be more responsive in my emails or more obnoxious. One of the two, I want to write a version for text messages that automatically put someone into text messaging limbo as they’re talking to my AI assistant that is completely unhelpful so that they stop. So people who I don’t want texts from just give up after a while and go, “Please never text this person again.” Clear purpose. Katie Robbert – 19:16 Block that person. Christopher S. Penn – 19:18 Well, it’s for all the spammy text messages that I get, I want a machine to waste their time on purpose. But there’s a clear purpose and clear performance. And so all this to say for getting out of the sophomore slump, you’ve got to have this stuff written out and written down and do the post-mortem, or even better, do a pre-mortem. Have generative AI say, “Here’s what we’re going to do.” And generative AI, “Tell me what could go wrong,” and do a pre-mortem before you, “It seems following the 5P framework, you haven’t really thought through what your purpose is.” Or following the 5P framework, you clearly don’t have the skills. Christopher S. Penn – 20:03 One of the things that you can and should do is grab the Trust Insights AI Ready Marketing Strategy kit, which by the way, is useful for more than marketing and take the PDF download from that, put it into your generative AI chat, and say, “I want to come up with this plan, run through the TRIPS framework or the 5Ps—whatever from this kit—and say, ‘Help me do a pre-mortem so that I can figure out what’s going to go wrong in advance.'” Katie Robbert – 20:30 I wholeheartedly agree with that. But also, don’t skip the post-mortem because people want to know what have we been spinning our wheels on for two years? Because there may be some good in there that you didn’t measure correctly the first time or you didn’t think through to say, “We have been creating a lot of extra blog posts. Let’s see if that’s boosted the traffic to our website,” or, “We have been able to serve more clients. Let’s look at what that is in revenue dollars.” Katie Robbert – 21:01 There is some good that people have been doing, but I think because of misaligned expectations and assumptions of what generative AI could and should do. But also then coupled with the lack of understanding of where generative AI is today, we’re all sitting here going, “Am I any better off?” I don’t know. I mean, I have a Katie AI version of me. But so what? So I need to dig deeper and say, “What have I done with it? What have I been able to accomplish with it?” And if the answer is nothing great, then that’s a data point that you can work from versus if the answer is, “I’ve been able to come up with a whole AI toolkit and I’ve been able to expedite writing the newsletter and I’ve been able to do XYZ.” Okay, great, then that’s a benefit and I’m maybe not as far behind as I thought I was. Christopher S. Penn – 21:53 Yep. And the last thing I would say for getting out of the sophomore slump is to have some way of keeping up with what is happening in AI. Join the Analytics for Marketers Slack Group. Subscribe to the Trust Insights newsletter. Hang out with us on our live streams. Join other Slack communities and other Discord communities. Read the big tech blogs from the big tech companies, particularly the research blogs, because that’s where the most cutting-edge stuff is going to happen that will help explain things. For example, there’s a paper recently that talked about how humans perceive language versus how language models perceive it. And the big takeaway there was that language models do a lot of compression. They’re compression engines. Christopher S. Penn – 22:38 So they will take the words auto and automobile and car and conveyance and compress it all down to the word car. And when it spits out results, it will use the word car because it’s the most logical, highest probability term to use. But if you are saying as part of your style, “the doctor’s conveyance,” and the model compresses down to “the doctor’s car,” that takes away your writing style. So this paper tells us, “I need to be very specific in my writing style instructions if I want to capture any.” Because the tool itself is going to capture performance compression on it. So knowing how these technologies work, not everyone on your team has to do that. Christopher S. Penn – 23:17 But one person on your team probably should have more curiosity and have time allocated to at least understanding what’s possible today and where things are going so that you don’t stay stuck in 2023. Katie Robbert – 23:35 There also needs to be a communication plan, and perhaps the person who has the time to be curious isn’t necessarily the best communicator or educator. That’s fine. You need to be aware of that. You need to acknowledge it and figure out what does that look like then if this person is spending their time learning these tools? How do we then transfer that knowledge to everybody else? That needs to be part of the high-level, “Why are we doing this in the first place? Who needs to be involved? How are we going to do this? What tools?” It’s almost I’m repeating the 5Ps again. Because I am. Katie Robbert – 24:13 And you really need to think through, if Chris on my team is the one who’s going to really understand where we’re going with AI, how do we then get that information from Chris back to the rest of the team in a way that they can take action on it? That needs to be part of this overall. Now we’re getting out of the slump, we’re going to move forward. It’s not enough for someone to say, “I’m going to take the lead.” They need to take the lead and also be able to educate. And sometimes that’s going to take more than that one person. Christopher S. Penn – 24:43 It will take more than that one person. Because I can tell you for sure, even for ourselves, we struggle with that sometimes because I will have something, “Katie, did you see this whole new paper on infinite-retry and an infinite context window?” And you’re, “No, sure did not.” But being able to communicate, as you say, “tell me when I should care,” is a really important thing that needs to be built into your process. Katie Robbert – 25:14 Yep. So all to say this, the sophomore slump is real, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your AI journey. Christopher S. Penn – 25:25 Exactly.

We interview Professor Christopher Summerfield from Oxford University about his new book "These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It". AI learned to understand the world just by reading text - something scientists thought was impossible. You don't need to see a cat to know what one is; you can learn everything from words alone. This is "the most astonishing scientific discovery of the 21st century."People are split: some refuse to call what AI does "thinking" even when it outperforms humans, while others believe if it acts intelligent, it is intelligent. Summerfield takes the middle ground - AI does something genuinely like human reasoning, but that doesn't make it human.Sponsor messages:========Google Gemini: Google Gemini features Veo3, a state-of-the-art AI video generation model in the Gemini app. Sign up at https://gemini.google.comTufa AI Labs are hiring for ML Engineers and a Chief Scientist in Zurich/SF.

Welcome back to Forcepoint's To the Point Cybersecurity podcast! In this episode, co-host Jonathan Knepher sits down with Petko Stoyanov—cybersecurity expert and former Forcepoint host—for a thought-provoking discussion about the evolving landscape of AI in cybersecurity. Together, they unpack the shifting trends seen at this year's RSA conference, exploring how artificial intelligence is moving from marketing buzzword to mission-critical security feature. Petko dives deep into the real-world impact of generative AI models, the increasing sophistication of both attackers and defenders, and the pressing need for “security by design” in today's fast-moving digital world. They discuss the new questions CISOs and CIOs should be asking about AI—like where models are hosted, what data they process, and how to manage risks in regulated industries. Petko shares eye-opening anecdotes about the potential for AI to accidentally leak sensitive data, the rise of targeted phishing in new languages powered by generative models, and why the CISO role is broader and more challenging than ever. The conversation also touches on the future of automation, the risk of deepfakes and disinformation, and how organizations can stay resilient in an era where the line between attacker and defender is increasingly blurred.
