Unsupervised Learning is about the transition from Human 2.0 to Human 3.0 in order to survive and thrive in a post-AI world. It combines original ideas and analysis to provide not just the most important stories and trends—but why they matter, and how to respond.

NOTES
Hey there,
It’s RSA week!
Groq support coming soon to Fabric!
If you’ve not messed with Groq yet, you need to. It’s basically SUPER FAST AI. Like almost instant. They’re able to do it because they have custom chips that nobody else has. TRY IT
Saw my buddy Clint Gibler give his AI + Security talk at BSides, and it was fantastic! Great job Clint! GET HIS NEWSLETTER
I’ll be around RSA all week. Come say hi!
Ok, let’s get to it…
MY WORK
My new essay is on how consultancies are about to move into departments and companies offering to explain and automate everything with AI. And how it’ll be more compelling and easier than you might think.
I've wanted to write this one for a long time…

SECURITY
The Biden administration is changing federal IT hiring filters to focus on skills over degrees, which will unlock over half of the nation's workforce without a bachelor's degree. Major win here. Especially for National cybersecurity. MORE
UnitedHealth's CEO took personal responsibility for paying the $22 million ransom after a cyberattack crippled their systems. Will be interested to see the fallout—if any—that comes from that. MORE
💡 I worry about this signaling to other big companies that this is ok to do, which will in turn encourage the attackers.
Satya Nadella sent a new security-first memo to over 200,000 employees emphasizing security as the non-negotiable top priority. Really interesting how it mirrors what Gates did way back when. MORE

🔍The Cybersecurity Platform for IT Teams
Thousands of security tools. Pushy vendors. Endless product trainings. Sound familiar?
IT teams often struggle to implement a strong security program in their organization because buying and maximizing usage of tools is so hard. Oh, and they have a day job too.
Interested? See how you can get 13 tools in one platform here.
TECHNOLOGY
This team trained a robot dog to walk on a ball IN A SIMULATION. Then they put the code in a real robot and it just worked. MORE
Google is pushing for the U.S. to revamp its immigration rules to prevent the loss of AI and cyber talent to other countries. MORE
My thoughts on the difference between a company that USES backend models vs. ones that ARE NOTHING BUT backend models.
The most important question for anyone building AI products:
➡️For an AI product that uses OpenAI, etc. on the backend, how do you tell the difference between doing it in a way that’s sustainable vs. in a way that’s vulnerable to Sherlocking on every new model release?

Despite a strong labor market, higher-paid employees are struggling to find work, pointing to what people are calling a "white-collar recession." The hiring rate for those earning over $96,000 is significantly lower than for those making less than $55,000. MORE
💡Hard to say what all is involved here, but I think one fact is likely to simply be that when you cut people for cost-savings purposes, you start with those who make the most.
Strippers have an interesting way of measuring how well the economy is doing. MORE
The #1 metric for longevity seems to be V02Max, and another study reinforces that position. MORE

IDEAS & ANALYSIS
This woman is offended by being offered a help desk job because she has two degrees. She’s in for a hard time, but it’s not her fault. It’s the fault of the system that told her she was owed something just by doing classes and homework.
And this is 100x worse now with AI because AI replaces this type of person far faster than someone who doesn’t have this mindset.
The prime mistake is believing that a degree qualifies you for anything.
Everyone with this mentality is about to be very unhappy—especially when AI has 100,000 times your education and never gets tired, sick, or wants a new job.

Stop dunking on AI. It’s not hurting anyone but you. I recommend the whole thread.
If you’re in tech and you’re constantly dunking on AI, you should stop.
Think about this:
AI is about to billions/trillions of new, highly-skilled, and intelligent workers to the economy.
…which new startups and existing businesses can choose to use however they want.

Thank you for reading.
UL is a personal and strange combination of security, AI, tech, and lots of content about human meaning and flourishing. And because it’s so diverse, it’s harder for it to go as viral as something more niche.
So—if you know someone weird like us—please share the newsletter with them. 🫶
Happy to be sharing the planet with you,
