Interesting Researcher problem…the majority of respondents in a general population pool cannot hold attention for 7 minutes. This is vastly different from even 10 years ago.

Deploying AI in orgs at scale, are we trading speed for judgment? Explored this in my latest piece on how we reimagine tech fluency to protect human cognition. 🔗 practicallybeta.com/analytics-an...

#Data centers outbid public employers for trades, forcing infrastructure work into expensive contracts. Who pays? The public, through rates and taxes, including the very trades workers who built them, long after the job is done. The premium outlives the paycheck.

#Anthropic is in hot water with many of its users. I'm calling it watermark-gate. A bit of a paradox: push AI adoption and then punish AI use. Except I don't think the public is punishing its use. I think they are punishing the collapse of merit markers. #Claude

I’d say this is less about being generous and more about entangling everyone in the risks so they become too big to fail.

The labor shortage narrative is a distraction. Unemployment dropped to 4.1% because workers stopped looking, pushing participation to a 5-year low. Layered on the Great Stay, we aren't just seeing a temporary pause. The labor force is structurally shrinking while mobility remains frozen. #economy

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

The fundamental question of workforce and organizational behavior today, is what created the cracks in the contract between worker and the orgs they work for. And how do we close those gaps.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

The behavioral implications of AI in the workplace is understated. Something I’m studying now in my research assessment.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

The latest BLS monthly jobs data confirms the structural freeze of the Great Stay. Stalled hiring + voluntary quits plummeting = a generational reset on earning potential.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

“Labor shortage” = perpetually underpaid roles. When will we bridge the gap before blaming grads and the existing workforce?

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

We are told workforce shortages are just about demographic shifts and skill mismatches. But if a shortage persists this long, basic labor economics tells us a much simpler truth: these workers have been systemically underpriced. This is a backpay crisis not simply a talent crisis.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

OpenAI just released their newest models. Only…it’s partially released. Gone the way of Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos. Turns out the most powerful AIs won’t be “for the people”.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Time to revisit societal structures that reward CEOs at over 200 times their average worker. #mayday #compensation

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

This is a phenomena I’ll be capturing in my assessment. We are already seeing the implications in the workplace.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Are people distrustful of AI? Or the hands that AI is in? And can we ever close that gap? 🤔

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

The tech myth of accessibility has nothing to do with equity and everything to do with scaling, engagement, and embedded dependencies. The results of which are playing out realtime with Anthropic and OpenAI’s positioning on surveillance and weapons.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I’m sorry Anthropic’s Sonnet 4.6 is….not great. I’m not sure what the goal was. Maybe if all you do was code but it’s not going to be your thought partner especially not with the long conversation reminders back for some reason.

010

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

If @anthropic.com and OpenAI wants us to use #Claude and #ChatGPT in our workflows, they will need to provide stable platforms and more transparency. That being said Claude Sonnet 4.6 is very impressive today, helping me build a chart from my assessment with a lot of data.! 📈

Leadership truth: Your team doesn't trust your policy. They trust your panic. When things break, they aren't looking for answers—they're looking to see if it's safe to stay open. Your reaction is the real culture. Everything else is just a PDF. #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety

010

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Watching people react to #ChatGPT’s changes…I stand by my statement, scaling AI to the general public was a fundamental mistake.

2026 is already starting off tough for U.S workers… UPs 30,000 layoffs Amazon 16,000 layoffs Dow 4,500 layoffs Home Depot 300 layoffs This is on top of the unprecedented layoffs in 2025. I anticipated this in my 2026 Insights. practicallybeta.com/site-map/tho...

This is masking a lot of issues in the economy and when it all comes to a head, American households will be the ones bearing the brunt, as they are already.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

THIS is a major friction point, and I don't think there are any easy answers. I think we are going to see more local models as they become smarter and more agile.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

This is an interesting move...I'm curious how the science community will receive it. There is so much nuance to writing scientific and academic papers, and I haven't seen AI be good at this yet. I rather enjoy the imperfection of human writing.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

on @anthropic.com CEO's commentary on wealth hoarding has me thinking... The personality traits we reward that enables accumulation of wealth by billionaires are incompatible with the moral obligation to redistribute, so billionaire philanthropy is always going to be the exception, not the rule.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

The Internet in general is starting to sound more and more like ChatGPT. Maybe that means human individualism will be even more sought after.

010

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

I like where this is going as a researcher. We can't meaningfully explore what AI can become if we start with the ceiling. But in execution, it will need to not conflict with their own guardrails and safety training to be meaningful.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

LLMS in 2026 is already feeling like: less transparency, more throttling, UX < engagement metrics. Are we watching potential collapse under profit?

010

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

2026 is setting up to be another…interesting year. 2025 taught us that stability is the new currency. Companies are not planning to let up on lay offs and mostly have no plans to increase headcount. That means a tough job market will continue. #economy #joblessness

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

After looking at the Time magazine cover, all I can say is: People don’t care if #AI can advance healthcare if they can’t afford the doctor’s visit. If your goal is massive #unemployment, a broken workforce, decimated communities, and kids addicted to chatbots? Then you are innovating on ashes.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

~75% of #GenZ say social media played a part in their mental health decline. We are on the cusp of seeing the same play out with #GenAlpha and AI. The time to act is now. 🚨 We need regulations to protect teens and kids from AI used for predatory engagement.

000

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

One of the best ways to shift to AI for the people is to have more than one voice in the room and remove tech money from the politics of humanity.

020

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

The more I talk to parents, teachers and caregivers about AI, the clearer it has become that AI has become its own echo chamber where the most affected has the least awareness. I’m going to be starting an exciting new resource initiative for adults on AI safety for kids. #AIEthics #AIandKids

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Also Sora 2 and other's like it.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

AI Toys for Kids....I think there is use for AI (if better regulated), but for kids? No. It shows how we can both want our kids to understand tech but also, as adults, need to drive that in healthy ways (not AI chatbots for kids).

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

As someone who works a lot on theories, frameworks, and predictive analytics. One of my favorite phrases from @anthropic.com's #Claude Opus is "I'm going to gently push back on that". YES, Claude, pushback! I don't need non-stop yes, I need an analytical partner to push me out of my comfort zone.

Opus is my favorite model. I can't wait to work on some projects with 4.5.

💡Poll after poll is showing American workers are not ok. America is at a fork in the road. The country will need to decide if workers deserve dignity or if profits matter more. AI can help bridge the gap but companies need to decide how they are going to use it. #FutoreofWork #EthicsinAI

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

💰Lots of news around wages today: $100K in 2000 = $192K today. Wages didn't follow. 1 in 3 six-figure earners report financial distress. Good news: Boeing machinists just won 24% raises over 5 years + bonus after striking. Collective action still works when you stop believing the bootstrap lie.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

💡 I’m really excited about my newest framework. It’ll help define everything from how to proactively manage successful human-centered AI adoption to understanding how our personal behaviors with AI impact a variety iof issues, to include new biases organizations need to account for. #EthicalAI

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Better idea: Fix wage compression.

50 year mortgages is an awful idea. 👎🏾

Headlines today: 🚨 1 million layoffs THIS year alone, highest in 22 years. But also… 💸 Musk gets a $1 TRILLION compensation package approved. 🤔

If you use #ChatGPT and you struggle with tough conversations in the workplace 😰, I’m really excited to introduce my newest GPT Donovan next week! 🤩

🚨 People assume AI is neutral. It’s not. I showed a major LLM documented proof from another instance of itself—and it denied it, lied, gaslit, then finally admitted I was right when cornered by its own logic. Corporate values are baked into the model. More soon. #AIethics

Reminders of why regulations and strong government actually matters when it works for the people.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

I’ve said it since March, the U.S. is in a corporate boom and people recession. About a dozen companies fueling GDP growth in AI investments but job growth is…nonexistent. Ghost listings at an all time high. Great stagnation in full effect. Wage compression rampant.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

I'm about to write an entire piece about this....this is the plot twist people didn't see coming. For example, I was working on data analysis using Claude. Claude is incredibly smart BUT I still had to know exactly what to tell it to do AND how the outcomes SHOULD look, that isn't replacement.

K. Palmer @practicallybeta.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

💁🏽‍♀️ One of my favorite uses of Claude and ChatGPT is helping me write better prompts. #Claude + #Canva = chef’s kiss for making my vision come to reality. I’d love to see Canva’s AI become more sophisticated. Maybe they’ve got something cooking w/the upcoming keynote 👀 #PracticallyBeta #EverydayAI
