Use AI without losing your voice on LinkedIn

If you've ever tried using AI for LinkedIn content and ended up thinking "Ugh, this doesn't sound like me..." you're not alone.

But here's the truth: AI isn't the problem. How you use it is the problem.

Most people are using AI as a replacement for their voice instead of a tool to amplify their voice.

Let’s change that!

In this workshop you'll discover:

  • How to use AI WITH your voice, not instead of it

  • Content prompts that maintain your authenticity

  • The strategy for creating posts in 20 minutes that sound completely like you

  • How to leverage AI for efficiency without sacrificing quality

Top Stories

Microsoft Replaces Workers With the AI They Built (Oof): Microsoft’s King division (the makers of Candy Crush) just laid off about 200 employees then handed their jobs to the very AI tools those employees had built. Entire level design and copywriting teams were cut, as management decided the bots were “good enough” to take over. Now morale is in the gutter, HR is being called a “disaster,” and the people who helped create King’s AI tools are left wondering if they coded themselves out of a paycheck.

Meta Patches Privacy Flaw in AI Chatbot: Meta quietly fixed a security bug that let users peek at other people’s private AI prompts and responses just by tweaking a number in the URL, yikes. The bug, discovered by researcher Sandeep Hodkasia, earned him a $10,000 bounty after he reported it in December. Meta says the flaw was patched in January and claims there’s no evidence it was ever exploited maliciously.

Nvidia’s China Chip Saga: After months of whiplash between export bans and billion-dollar promises, Nvidia is resuming sales of its H20 AI chips to China, pending U.S. licenses. The company also unveiled a new “RTX Pro” chip tailored for China, navigating a tightrope between national security fears and lucrative business with tech giants like Alibaba and ByteDance. The episode highlights Washington’s ongoing struggle to rein in China’s AI ambitions without kneecapping U.S. companies and suggests more policy flip-flops may be on the horizon

AI Power Brief

Trump’s AI Power Play in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh just positioned itself as the next big AI-and-energy powerhouse and not just because Trump said so (though he did, loudly, and at length). At the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, the president, alongside tech and energy heavyweights, unveiled over $90 billion in private investments aimed at building an “AI economy” in the state.

So what’s the plan? A combination of massive data centers (because AI gulps energy like it’s cold brew), nuclear reactors, and an energy innovation center to train workers in AI and energy jobs. The idea is to marry Pennsylvania’s abundant natural gas, nuclear power, and steel-making legacy with its universities and growing tech scene to create a future-proof economy.

Big names like BlackRock, Blackstone, Westinghouse, AWS, Alphabet, Anthropic, and PNC Bank were all in the room promising investments and projects. Amazon’s already kicked in $20 billion for data centers, and Westinghouse plans to build 10 nuclear reactors nationwide with Pittsburgh at the center of it all.

Trump called it the “largest package of investments in the history of Pennsylvania” and painted a rosy picture of a “golden age” for American workers forging steel, building factories, and running data-driven AI businesses like never before.

Of course, it wasn’t all applause and steel magnates. Protesters showed up to call out the summit’s focus on fossil fuels, surveillance tech, and corporate priorities over sustainability and some got pepper-sprayed when they refused to clear the streets.

Bottom line: Pittsburgh’s pitching itself as America’s AI-and-energy capital, with billions to back it up. Whether that vision builds a future worthy of all the fanfare or just more data centers and smokestacks remains to be seen.

Google’s AI Starts Summarizing Your News (and Publishers Aren’t Thrilled)

Investigating Basketball Wives GIF by VH1

Google just rolled out AI-generated summaries in its Discover news feed on iOS and Android, replacing good old-fashioned headlines with bite-sized blurbs and a cluster of publisher logos. While Google insists this makes it “easier” for users to decide what to click, publishers worry it’s yet another hit to their already shrinking traffic. With more searches ending in no clicks and AI doing the heavy lifting, the big question is: if Google tells you everything up front, will anyone bother visiting the actual sites?
