So should you go to class in medical school? Now here are the three questions that I asked myself to help me understand that going to lecture actually wasn't the best thing. Number one was class of mandatory. For me, it wasn't so it was much easier for me to actually be able to learn from the comfort of my own home, actually be able to try some other techniques instead of just paying attention to somebody reading from the slot. Number two, what was your percentage of retention? I knew for example, if I went to lecture after 60 minutes, maybe I remember 20 to 30% of that lecture. That means maybe 40 minutes had just gone to be wasted. Instead on the flip side, I could have easily speed watched a lecture at 2X. But I used that extra bit of time to get more repetitions and flashcards in to actually understand the material. And then finally, number three, does going to lecture actually help improve or does it worsen my flow for my day? For me, not physically having to go to school to attend lecture allowed me to go get a workout nearby where I lived, come back home, watch the lectures on my computer and the cover of my apartment and waste very little time in terms of the studying that I needed to do for the day. So for all those three reasons, I chose not to go to class. And now if you enjoyed that breakdown, you want more tips and tricks just like that, make sure you hit that like, subscribe and follow for more content just like this one.


They loved each other enormously. But one day her father decided to get married and it wasn't long before Ella's new stepmother and two stepsisters moved in with them. At first they were really kind and friendly but when Ella's father had to leave and go to work, things changed immediately. They showed their true selves and they were mean, nasty, spiteful people.  I'm hungry, go and cook my food, said another. Come and brush my hair, said the stepmother. Poor Ella. She scrubbed and swept and mopped and one day they saw how dirty her dress was covered with ash, cinders from the fire and they howled with laughter. Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella. That's what we're going to call you from now on. They said and they did. Poor Cinderella worked so hard when one day there was a messenger from the palace at the front door and he was holding invitations to a ball, a ball where the prince was going to choose a wife. Well obviously he's going to choose me, said one stepsister.  Ella asked if she might go to the ball and they said no, you're far too disgusting, you're going to stay right here. And so poor Ella watched sadly as the stepsisters got ready and off they went to the ball and the tears began to well up and they fell to the floor when suddenly a strange creature appeared before her. I am your fairy godmother, said the creature and you shall go to the ball but you're not going looking like that. Out came the wand and there she was wearing the most amazing ball like outfit that you could possibly imagine. If you can think of your favorite color, there it was. If you can think of your favorite style, there it was and she thought wow, I look amazing. Yes, I feel good. Now how shall I get to the ball fairy godmother? Hmm, not a problem. Out came the wand and a pumpkin turned into a beautiful golden carriage, a lizard turned into a coachman. Six little mice became beautiful horses and just before she left the fairy godmother looked at her feet and put on some lovely glass slippers.    Yes, fairy godmother and whoosh, off she went. Well, the prince had eyes for nobody else. He saw what a big happy smile she had. He saw how kind she was and how gracious she was when she spoke to people and he saw that she could dance and the two of them, they took over the dance floor shimmying and shaking back flips, front flips, whoa, summer salts and cartwheels. They had so much fun. They didn't see the time pass and dying, dying, the clock began to strike 12. I have to go. She cried and off she ran and the prince said, I don't even know your name. But it was too late. All he had was a little glass slipper that she had left on the stairs. I must find the person who owns this glass slipper. He announced and the messengers were sent out the very next day. They went to every single house. And when they reached Cinderella's house, well, the stepsisters were there. It's gonna fit me, said one. And when she squeezed her foot in, it was far too big. The second stepsister came and she had tried to break the bones in her foot to make sure that her foot squeezed in. But no, it was just too big. I'm sorry, madam. The shoe does not fit. Now the messenger was about to leave when Cinderella emerged. There's no point asking her. So the stepsisters were pretty miserable. She didn't even go to the ball. But Cinderella calmly and confidently walked forward. She took that glass slipper and she put it onto her foot and it was a perfect fit. I don't believe it, said the stepsisters. And immediately Cinderella was taken to the palace and the prince asked her if she would marry him. And she thought to herself, well, he is pretty kind. He can dance very, very well. He's very smart. So I think that this would be a very, very good marriage indeed. And so they did get married and they ruled happily for a long, long time. Now there are lots of different variations of that story. I wonder if you can think of any more. Perhaps you could make up your own. I know that in Egypt there's a story of a falcon who swoops down, picks up a little red shoe that belongs to a Greek slave girl and drops it into the lap of the pharaoh. And I'm sure you can guess what happy ending might have happened there. Okay, I look forward to hearing yours. Bye for now.


The Plateau State Governor, Samuel Alon, has signed four bills into law, including those that will pave way for the implementation of legislative and judiciary autonomy respectively. The four bills signed into law by the governor were the State Legislative Funds Management Law, Plateau State Judiciary Funds Management Law, Plateau State Property and Land Use Charge Law, and the Plateau Geographic Services Law, a statement signed by the Governor's Director and Public Affairs Machan Makut, confirmed the signing of the four new bills. Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Santos Ahmadou said the four laws are crucial for the good governance and economic development of the state, particularly as the border on revenue generation and land management.

Item number SCP-001 Object Class, Keter Special Containment Procedures There is no means to contain SCP-001 yet found that does not risk a potential ZK Class Reality Failure scenario and subsequent destruction of the observable universe.  No data regarding the nature or description of SCP-001 shall be provided to any personnel, with the sole exception of the senior member of O5 command. All data collected in regard to SCP-001 shall be stored in encrypted form via with the decryption key split into thirds. Each member of O5 command shall memorize one-third, and only one-third of the decryption key. Data shall only be decrypted on a network-isolated eyes-only terminal to be read only by the senior member of O5 command, and then only after unanimous consent of O5 command. Leaking of data about SCP-001 through espionage, telepathic leakage, original research, or RIP must be contained by any and all means available to the Foundation, the senior member of O5 command, as the one person with authorized knowledge about SCP-001 is the final arbiter on containment. Leaking personnel of level 2 or higher who discovered data about SCP-001 in the course of their normal duties may be given a Class A amnestic after debriefing rather than being terminated. This is subject to O5 approval on a case-by-case basis. Description Data expunged. Addendum. Containment log 001-alpha. Date. Incident.

Ask yourself if you want to know. If the answer is no, then you need to stop reading right now. If you go and report this unauthorized file to your superiors, act contrite, and claim that you only read to this paragraph, you might get away with a Class A amnestic if you're lucky. What if the O5s aren't particularly paranoid at the moment? So you want to know what SCP-001 is. The first answer is that it is, was, a placeholder. A theoretical designation for the prime cause.  SCP-001 is why we have to deal with omnicidal reptiles, ever expanding rooms, extra-dimensional pools of red-goop and consumer products that don't obey the normal laws of physics. Of course, given that all these things, as dangerous and deadly and just plain insane as they all are, are inherently patternless and self-contradictory. Most researchers are convinced that there is no possible unifying principle for them all, much less a common source. They're wrong. There's more than one reason that cross-testing is discouraged, and the O5s even look down on excessive cross-referencing of SCPs. The O5s don't want any one group looking at more than a handful of these things at once, because of what they discovered when the Foundation tried to develop a grand unified theory of SCPs. That research is mostly gone now. Site-001 Alpha was dismantled, scrubbed from the archives. The staff mind-wiped and reassigned. No one left but me, and I wouldn't know anything if it wasn't for my habit of not trusting the Foundation's servers, and having my own hidden personal archive the O5s missed in their panic. I was a data analyst at Site-001 Alpha. Note O5 command, don't bother looking for me. I finished the job you started. The identities of all former staff at Site-001 Alpha have been completely scrubbed from the records. You know as much as they do now. And I participated in the first and only attempt to consolidate all Foundation data on all SCPs. I was in charge of data integrity, and as much of a mess as you might think that was, it was an order of magnitude worse. Forget the memetic SCPs, or the ones that modify their own description, or the ones that seem to only inhabit info space and slip into the database to wreak havoc. That's all SOP for anyone who works with the Foundation's network. Just a matter of scale. Worse were the completely inexplicable, unexpected changes in date. Sorry, that's wrong. Even though I can't help thinking of it that way, it isn't a change in data, when reality is shifting to match. I don't know a lot about the internals of the software we used, but I know that part of it ran outside of what we think is the real world. And at first, everyone thought that the audit trails it produced were some sort of bug. However, it became apparent that the nature of the software, its purposeful isolation from the narrative affecting SCPs, allowed it to record something far more important. It's not visible to you, or the O5s, or even to most of the SCPs we deal with, but the Foundation, and by extension the entire universe, is in a state of constant shifting reality flux. SCP files appeared and disappeared from our database with alarming regularity, and the SCPs referred to, to all appearance, appeared and disappeared along with them. Not just SCPs, but personnel, whole sites. An entire decades of the Foundation's history would be rewritten, seemingly at random. And our own memories, and all external research would confirm that objective reality matched the current version in our database. One of the researchers told me that it was as if we were seeing the effect of something like SCP-140, only much larger in scale. Yeah, something a lot like SCP-140, and infinitely larger in scale. I don't know who did the analysis, and if I did I wouldn't say. She's probably a lot happier not knowing about her own discovery, but she looked at what vanished and what appeared, and what subtly changed in the records, and she found the pattern, the drift toward darkness, toward narrative coherence, toward a plot. Everyone who works any length of time at the Foundation knows the universe we live in is a seriously f***ed up place. Those of us who still believe in God tend towards serious ambivalence about his handiwork, but we found out that there is a God, and it is SCP-001, and it's a bunch of horror writers. Addendum, Emergency Containment Protocol ZK-001 Alpha, O5Is only. Enter Decryption Key. Decryption Key accepted. Note, Containment Protocol ZK-001 Alpha carries a non-zero risk of creating a ZK-class reality failure scenario. Use should only be authorized in an attempt to mitigate an end-of-the-world scenario, or the imminent destruction of the Foundation. Research at Site-001 Gamma has conducted narrative analysis on SCP-001's changes to the observable universe. Conclusions are that SCP-001 consists of multiple entities, showing cognitive patterns that are indistinguishable from human, and that these entities are therefore susceptible to mimetic effects. Since prior experiments have shown information feedback via the SCP data warehouse, a possible method of attack and or control has been developed. Protocol ZK-001 Alpha, when initiated, will cause a software-viral insertion of a variety of mimetic agents into the SCP database which, through the observed information feedback, should expose SCP-001 to the mimetic effects of these agents. Protocol ZK-001 Alpha consists of three stages. 1. Mimetic agents inserted to promote calm and or well-being. 2. Mimetic agents inserted to promote sleep, unconsciousness, or catatonia. 3. Mimetic agents inserted to cause death. Given the nature of SCP-001 and our limited interaction with it, it is not possible at this time to safely test Protocol ZK-001 Alpha, and it is unknown if the universe can continue to exist without interaction with SCP-001.


one of those points was just investing in yourself, right? There's different scales. I mean, we have a client that spends $100,000 a year just on one coach. I know you spend quite a bit.  I spend 30k. I believe that in this insurance industry, the potential is limitless, good grief. And I believe that a pillar of success is really investing in yourself and getting around people that have a different mindset than maybe that can challenge you. Why don't you talk a little bit about maybe what you do to invest in yourself, what you would maybe recommend someone does to invest in their self as well. Just kind of talk a little bit about that. Yeah, that's something that I ignored. I'm a naturally super competitive, confident, sometimes in the past even cocky individual. I just am. And for me, I'm the guy that feels like I can put my team on the back and just figure it out. But there's better ways to figure it out. And so the last 12 to 18 months, you say, well, your brands have skyrocketed. Your channel is four or five X, all true. But it's because I put my ego aside.  I want to grow. I want to learn. And the first place I noticed it was when we went to 10X growth con two with Lauren sat front row with 9000 people in Vegas Cardone's conference. And that was the first time that I realized not only how much events can change people's lives because it changed mine. Yep, just did. But also there's people out there that have been successful. They know how to help you be successful. Oh, and by the way, you should probably plug in and learn from them so that you can speed up the success and really sprint to success. Instead of just wanting to fell eight million times along the way. And you still will. But maybe we can only fell four million times instead of eight. Exactly. So you mentioned how much did you spend for those tickets at 10X? 15 grand. I bet that check wasn't easy to cut. 15,000 and I've never spent that much anything other than like a house or a car before ever. Dude, it was so hard. We threw it on a business credit card.  Was it like, did you have to talk her into it? Man. Was she all on board? Tell me about that. That's gotta be a story. I'm like squirming and getting uncomfortable in my seat because I've like not talked about this stuff. Especially if you're watching on camera. Gosh, she's been super supportive.  That's a lot of zeros and especially if you include, you know, the sense, right? But I knew and that's what happens is at some point you just know by me doing this. It's gonna pay off long term. Yeah. You can see it. The last so long it's been all about long term investments. I did a video not too long about do you think short term or long term? Everything we've been doing, we've been investing millions and actually millions into helping people more and more long term. Yep. That's what we create 8% nation. Most people know we spent 5,600 grand on 8% nation last year. That's a lot more than 15k.

It never fails to happen, no matter how tired or beat I am or how many things I have on my mind. Whenever 3,000 soldiers are gathered together for a regimental review parade, and I'm either watching or taking part in it, something grabs me in the pit of my stomach, travels up my spine, and ends in a kind of lump in my throat. And today is no exception. In a few minutes the regimental band will sound off, the review will begin, and already I can feel the lump in my throat. Only this time it's going to be the biggest one I've ever had, for two reasons. One, I'll be marching at the head of my company instead of at the rear where I should be officially. And the second, well, that's a story. A story that started on the day I became Company Clerk over 10 years ago. I'm charging half way that company order. It can't be right. Yes, it's official. You and I are corporal. And Company Clerk? That's right. Corporal Hendricks has been transferred to regimental headquarters and you're taking his place. Well, why me? Why you? Well, because you showed me once, you know you were around on a typewriter keyboard. And you seem to be a pretty smart young fellow. Oh. Well, what's the matter? Something wrong? No, I... Well, I guess I'm just sort of surprised. Sure, I understand. Day after tomorrow you can report here right after morning, Charles. You've got a lot to learn. Yeah, he was right. I had a lot to learn, but I wasn't anxious to learn it. When I had enlisted in the army, I'd done so with only one thought in mind. To become a non-commissioned officer in the infantry. And that meant to me leading soldiers in the field. And now it looked like I was going to be stuck behind a desk. But there was one consolation. At least I'd made corporal. And that was a step in the direction I wanted to go. So I made up my mind to do the best I could. I got that letter taught here, Edwards. Coming right up, Sarge. Here it is. Uh-huh. Okay. Now, Edwards, you've done pretty good in your five weeks as Company Clerk. Well, sure, Sarge. I made up my mind to that. But you helped a lot, too. Oh, thanks. Uh, you want me to type up that roster for the supply room now? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Slow down, boy.  How about a coke on me? Well, thanks, Sarge. But I'd rather get that roster out of the way first. Look, do I have to make it an order? Here's the nickels. Well, okay. Anybody works as hard as you deserves a break now and then. You got to remember you're down south now, boy. An old sal can be mighty rough sometimes. Well, maybe it can be, Sarge, but soldiers got to be able to overcome hardships, just like the Spartans. The Spartans? Who are they? Oh, I read about them in high school. They came from a country in Greece, and they were the best soldiers in their time. You know why? Because they disciplined themselves. Denied themselves all comforts until they were hard, tough, and able to take on and defeat all comers, which they did. Well, that might be so. When I was a kid back on the farm in Tennessee, I learned I could get more furrows plowed by stopping now and then to take a rest in the shade. Well, that was a long time ago, Sergeant. Things have changed since then. Yeah, I guess they have. Oh, and speaking of changes, how would you like to take over the making out of the duty roster for me?  Jack, don't worry. I'm not getting lazy. Army's growing mighty fast these days, and it isn't gonna be easy to find some good administrative men. Maybe someday you might be taking my place, and I want you to be ready. Now, you don't have to look surprised. It could happen. Yeah, I suppose it could. Okay, hand me the roster, and I'll show you how to do it. Well, Sergeant Halfley surprised me all right, but I was more shocked than I was surprised.  But I'd made up my mind not to belly ache, so I thought I'd just wait and see what happened. And something did happen. But in a way for which I was totally unprepared. One afternoon, several days later, when the company came back from the rifle range... Arrest, corporators. Where's Sergeant Halfley? In the supply room, Captain Roberts. You want me to get him? No, I've got to go up to battalion headquarters for a meeting. Just tell him Corporal Smith heard his ankle and is at the hospital now getting it X-rayed. He'll call back to let us know what the results are. Yes, sir. I'll be back in half an hour. Oh, excuse me, sir. It's all right, Private Jessup. You want to see me? No, sir. I'd like to talk to the first sergeant. He'll be here shortly. Maybe the corporal here can take care of you. Oh. What's on your mind, Jessup? Well, I've just been looking out the bulletin board, Corporal, and I see you got my name up for K.P. tomorrow. Mm-hmm. That's right. You do for it. I know. Well, I was wondering, you see, our platoon has to stay in tonight and clean up our barracks for inspection tomorrow. Yeah. And my wife just got in yesterday to town. She's going to stay there while I'm doing my training here. We'd plan to look around for a room for us tonight and tomorrow night. Now, well, I don't like to ask it, but could you let me off K.P. tomorrow and put me on the next night instead? Well, I'm sorry, Jessup. It can't be done. It messed up my whole roster. Can't you just change places for me with someone else? My wife's stuck in that hotel room. The town's so crowded there's no place for her to go. I'll even do two nights K.P. for one if you want. I can't do it, Jessup. I know it's tough, but if we tried to fit details to everyone's convenience, things would really be lost out. Corporal Edwards. Oh, sorry, I didn't see you. Take his name off the K.P. detail for tomorrow, Corporal. But, sorry.  Okay, Jessup. You can have tomorrow night off, you'll be on the next night. Well, that's swell. Thanks, Sergeant Happley. Thanks. Well, how come, Sarge? I just told him we couldn't do it. I heard you. Enough to a point, you were right. But in cases of hardship, you can sometimes stretch things, even regulations. But, Sarge, I... Hello, company day, Sergeant Happley. How he has? Okay, I'll take care of it. Something wrong? Corporal Smith has a broken bone in his ankle. Probably be laid up for six weeks. You have to get someone to take his place. Sergeant Happley. Yeah. You know, I made up my mind when I came in the Army that I wasn't going to ask for anything. But you don't have anyone to take his place, right? Well, not of him. I'll probably end up borrowing one from Company B. They have an extra corporal in the roster, I think. Well, wouldn't it be less trouble if maybe, uh, you'd let me take over a squad? You? Sure. I'd much prefer being a corporal in the field than Company Clerk.  I'd appreciate it, Sarge. Anyway, until Smithy gets back from the hospital. Now, who do I get to take your place? There's a private in the third platoon who can knock off 70 words a minute. Mm-hmm. Corporal, it's not easy leading 12 men. Well, I know, Sarge, but I can do it. You can? All right, corporal, I'll do it. Thanks, Sarge. But let me tell you something. I think I'm making a mistake. I hope not, but I think I am. We're listening to the proudly we hail production, The Spartan. We'll return in just a moment for the second act. When you were in high school, did you find that the scientific subjects had a special interest for you? Enough so that you'd like to go on in the field and learn more about science? If you're a young man or a young woman with this scientific curiosity and you've had a little experience in the medical field, why don't you try your chances in the United States Army? There's a need for medical technicians in the Army, and you have the opportunity of learning more and more about the subject and gaining experience. Your local United States Army recruiting station has full details for you right now, and if you'll go see them, you'll find that your chances are very good for what you want. You are listening to Proudly We Hail, and now we present the second act of The Spartan. I hardly heard what Sergeant Halfley said that day, but I thought he was making a mistake. The only thing he said that mattered to me was that he was going to recommend that I take Corporal Smith's place. But I well remember now what he said then. Very well. The next morning, Captain Roberts called me into his office. Corporal Edward, effective today, you're the squad leader of the second squad and the second platoon. Yes, sir. That means you're going to be personally responsible for 12 trainees. Their conduct, their morale, their training. Corporal, have you ever been in charge of men before in civilian life? No, sir. I enlisted as soon as I got out of high school. I see. Well, you've had a fine record in your training cycle, so you shouldn't have any trouble adapting yourself to the field. I know I won't, sir. Fine. Fine. You report to second platoon Sergeant Rogers immediately. Corporal Edwards reporting for duty, Sergeant Rogers. Glad to have you with us, Corporal. Thanks. Got a good outfit here, Edwards. We're the second platoon by number, but we're the first platoon and everything else. I know. And we want to keep it that way. Now as far as your squad goes, it's about the best one of the platoon. Corporal Smith really had them on the ball and they're mighty sorry to lose him. Well, I think I'll be able to fill his shoes, Sergeant. Well, I'll tell you. If you do even half as good as he did, I'll be satisfied. Now, here's a roster of the squad I'm Corporal Edwards. And as you know, I'm taking Corporal Smith's place as your squad leader. Now, it'll take a while before I get to know all of you, but it won't take you long to get to know me, because I'm going to tell you now what I expect from you. Are you there? Pay attention. I am, Corporal. I'm just tying my shoelace. Well, forget it until I get finished talking. Hey, uh, your name's Jessup, isn't it? That's right. You're the one who wanted off KP as a special favor.  Don't expect any special favors from me. My job is to make soldiers out of you, and as far as I know, there's no easy way to do that. I don't know how it's been up till now with you, but from now on, you're going to get on the ball and stay there. I suppose if there ever was an eager beaver, I was it in those days. I thought I knew everything there was to know about soldiering, but my gosh, I wasn't going to rest until my squad knew it, too. Now, the next exercise is a push-up. I want to see how many of you can do 50. Squat in position. Move. Feet to the rear. Extend. Now, the push-up is one exercise that'll make or break it. It's simple, but it's rugged. And after you do about 15, your arms begin to feel as if they're going to fall off. When Sergeant Rogers finished the count, I got slowly to my feet and looked around. There were maybe about 10 who finished, but there were none of them from my squad. Well, I would have blown a fuse right then and there, but I was too tired and disgusted. But when we got back to the barracks... This afternoon, we'll have a full field inspection, so get your packs rolled. All right, Second Squad, hold it. I got something to say to you. I guess you men know that you let me down this morning.  We tried our best, Corporal. Well, your best isn't good enough. So get this into your skulls. We're gonna have push-up drill every evening until all of you can do 50. Before you go down to Chow now, maybe we can just practice a little. Squatting position. Move. It was like that with everything. During the weeks that followed, I really kept after those men. I lost count of how many extra hours of drill I put into them. I was determined to do a job no matter how much it demanded from them or me. Well, as it turned out, I did a job, all right. But a different kind of one than I expected. One afternoon after the company got in from the field, the CO made an announcement. Men, we've now come to the high spot on your training cycle. Tomorrow night at 2400, the battalion will make a forced march of 25 miles with full field equipment. I don't have to tell you it isn't gonna be easy. Up till now, you've proven yourselves to be one of the best companies I've ever commanded. But tomorrow we'll separate the men from the boys. And oh, let me down. Platoon, sergeants, dismiss your platoon. Okay, Second Platoon. You heard the CO. Are there gonna be any boys in this platoon? We'll see. Oh, Corporal Edwards, come here. Yes, sergeant?  Did you notice that? Yes, I did, sergeant, but you don't have to worry about them. I'm not so sure. I mean it, it talked to you about it anyway. About what? Well, I've been looking over their progress reports and I see that when Corporal Smith was in charge, they were doing a lot better than they are now. Do you have any idea why? I don't, sergeant. I sure have been doing the best I can with them. I don't think I've been too easy on them. You can say that again. You've been a real ball of fire around here, Edwards. But somehow that squad of yours hasn't caught any of that fire. Well, give me a chance, sergeant. I'll see that they will. Pretty much of a chance already. Let me tell you straight out, Edwards. I've talked to Sergeant Halfley about sending you back to the orderly room. You have? Yeah. But he said to give you a little more time, so I am. The 25-mile march is over. If your squad comes through without any men falling out or not being able to finish it, I'll consider changing my mind. Is there enough? Yeah, sergeant. You've ever felt a solid right hook connect with your jaw. You have an idea of how I felt when Sergeant Rogers got finished talking to me. Something had gone wrong somewhere, but I just couldn't figure out what it was. And that evening, as I was sitting over a cup of coffee in the mess hall, long after the rest of the company had finished chowing the lawn. What's the matter, Corporal Edwards? You look kind of down in the dumps. Yeah, I guess I do, Sergeant Halfley. Anything I can do to help? No, no, I don't think so. This is something I got to work out myself. Okay, I don't want to butt in. No, no, it's not that, sergeant. You know what it's all about anyway. Oh, by the way, thanks for telling Sergeant Rogers to give me another chance. I know that. But I have a feeling it won't do much good. I guess you'll be stuck with me as company clerk again. As far as I'm concerned, that won't be hard to take. But I know how you feel about it. Sergeant Halfley. You've been in the Army 20 years. Just what do you have to do to be a good squad leader? Well, that's not so easy to answer. But I suppose you might find the clue in that last word. Leader? Well, I think I've done that with my squad. I've never asked him to do anything I wouldn't do. Well, I've been strict with him, sure, but I've been fair. What more is there to leadership? Well, let me ask you a question. You know all the names of the men in your squad by now, don't you? Sure. All right, pick out one. Pick out one? Yeah, just name one. Oh, uh, Jessup. Where's he from? I don't know. How old is he? What do you got me? What did he do for a living before he got in the Army? Well, how should I know? Mm-hmm. Well, there's your answer. The answer? Now, wait a minute, wait a minute. I don't get it, Sarge. What does knowing those things, what does it have to do with showing a man how to soldier? Well, that's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. And when you do, I'll have lost a company clerk. Well, I gotta be running along. Oh, uh, Edwards, I've been checking up on those Spartans you told me about. And I think I got something to figure out about them that might interest you. The next morning, the march began. It was cool, as it usually is in that part of Florida. So the first few hours, we made without much trouble. But then the sun came up, and that's when it started. It got hotter by the second. And what had once been tight platoon formations earlier were now beginning to strangle out as the men's steps slowed down. The patigues were drenched with sweat. Their eyes were glassy from lack of sleep. But, tough as it was, by nine o'clock, none of the company had fallen out, although we did see some men from other companies sitting beside the road, unable to continue. Our CO dropped back from the head of the column every now and then I think it was old Sergeant Halfley who really inspired the men to keep going. It seemed every time I turned around, he was there joking with the guy. Oh, he's here in the water, man. He only got one canteen last the march. Remember, it only turns to sweat anyway. He hobbled along like he was walking on eggs, and he was panting like a Stanley Steamer. But up and down that column he walked, taking three times as many steps as we did to cover the same distance. My squad seemed to be doing okay, except for one, Private Jessup. His face was pale, great beads of sweat stood out on his forehead. He was always falling behind. At the next ten-minute break. Corporal Edwards. Yep. What's the matter, Jessup? I'm sorry. I don't think I can make this. My feet are killing me. Now, look here, Jessup, you got to make it. Don't you think everyone's feet are hurting? Now, come on.  Look, look, I'm not a gold brick. It's just that I can't... It was a gold brick. Well, that's what I'm trying to find out, Sergeant Halfley. Jessup here says his feet are hurting him. Well, who's known I'd like to know? Yeah, somebody take my canteen, pour some water into this handkerchief and hold it to his head. And Jessup, what did you do in civilian life? I was an accountant. Just like me, spent all the time on a desk. When I was, let's pull off his shoes. Well, Sergeant, the break's almost over. Come on, hurry it up. Yeah, just as I thought. Blisters as big as my fist. Let me have you a bayonet, Corporal. He sterilized it with a match and then he let the water out of the blisters. When Jessup got his shoes back on, the break was over, but he was able to walk again. Sergeant Halfley didn't say anything, just gave me a long look, but I knew what he meant. When the march started again, I took Jessup's rifle and a couple more for men who seemed tired. I wished I could have carried each one of my men's rifles because I had a lot to make up to her. We only had a few more miles to go, but it was just before noon and the sun had reached its zenith. I guess maybe I overdid it carrying those extra rifles or maybe I was thinking too much about what I'd done. And what I hadn't done. Anyway, without any warning, everything went suddenly black.  Corporal, you okay now? Oh, what? What happened, Jessup? You passed out. I passed out. Oh, well, that's a good one. Real tough noncom I am. What'd you say, Corporal? The guy who knew how to set an example, some example. First one in the company to drop out. Drop out? You didn't drop out, Corporal. When you fainted, the CO blew the whistle for a ten-minute break. Come on, it's just about over now. A break? Yeah. Come on.  That's it. You think you can make it? Oh, sure. Sure, I think so. We'll carry your rifle if you're okay. Oh, thanks, Jessup. I don't know how to... Oh, forget it. You only did what you thought was right. We're all going to finish this together. We did finish it together. When we hit the company area, old Sergeant Halfley, his voice hoarse and his face red, called us to attention, and we marched in. Our heads high, our backs straightened, our feet in step. When the company was congratulated and dismissed, everyone headed for their sack, except me. And I made a somewhat weary beeline for the orderly. Oh, hey, Corporal Edwards.  Well, there's something I want to say to you, Sarge. You don't have to say anything. I'm going to say it. I've lost a company clerk. Now go on, get to bed. Thanks, Sarge. Oh, say, Edwards, why aren't I thinking about it? Those Spartans, remember? Yeah. Well, I found out there was another bunch, too. The Athenians, Greeks they were. That's right. Yeah, well, those Spartans won a lot of battles, but they left nothing behind them when they were finally beat. No statues, no books, no nothing. But the Athenians did. I think you know why now, but I'll tell you anyway. The Athenians spent their time trying to understand people, but the Spartans didn't. Well, you're dead right, Sarge. Now, I can tell you this.  OK, get a good sleep, squad leader. Well, 10 years have passed since then. Our outfit became a combat division, and we've been around. Private Jessup went on to Officer's Candidate School, and the last I heard of him, he was a major and doing fine. Sergeant Halfley? Well, he's the reason for the regimental review parade today. He's put in 30 years, and the day is retiring, and as is the custom in the army, his regiment is passing in review before him. And me? Well, I've asked the CO to let me give eyes right as we pass the reviewing stand. A salute from a new first, Sergeant, to an old one. Well, there's the band. It's time to go. Come to me! It's cut! With men who know the army, it's the job you do that counts. Now take the yard breakman, the dental technician, the petroleum chemist, or the weather observer. They're all soldiers, and they're all doing a grand job of making the United States Army the world's best. Why don't you use your skills in the United States Army?

From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, bringing you data-driven insights from theCUBE and ETR. This is Breaking Analysis with Dave Vellante. The data from enterprise customers is clear, but at the same time it's conflicted. While 94% of customers say they're spending more on AI this year, they're doing so with budget constraints that will steal from other initiatives. As well, where customers are running AI generally and generative AI specifically is split almost exactly down the middle in terms of public cloud or on-premises slash at the edge. In addition, developers report the attractiveness of feature richness and velocity found in the public cloud. At the same time, organizations express concerns about IP leakage, compliance, illegal risks, and costs that will limit their use of the public cloud. Hello and welcome to this week's Wikibon Cube Insights powered by ETR. In this Breaking Analysis, we'll share the most recent data and thinking around the adoption of large language models and address the factors to consider when thinking about how the market will evolve. First, let's look at the overall spending climate to get a read on enterprise technology budgets. Senior IT decision makers exited 2022 with an expectation that their budgets would increase between four and 5%. By January, that figure was down to 4.1% and despite small sequential incremental increases throughout the year, that currently stands at 2.9% well below initial expectations. Budget constraints combined with the dash to generative AI has forced organizations to re-prioritize. As we shared in Breaking Analysis and one that we did with Andy Terai late last year, the return on AI investments was elusive at the time and somewhat still remains so. The chat GPT craze has forced a top-down mandate from boardrooms and as such has shifted the spending priorities in enterprise tech. This chart shows the sectors that ETR tracks. Net score or spending momentum is on the vertical axis and pervasiveness in the survey is on the horizontal axis. It's a measure of presence. Well, all sectors felt the pinch of budget constraints in 2022. AI, which was leading all segments was suppressed to the point where by October, 2022 it fell below the 40% red dotted line. That's a high watermark for spending velocity. Chat GPT was introduced to the market in November. You see, we've highlighted October at the bottom and then one month later, Chat GPT was introduced and since then AI spending has accelerated. However, budgets really haven't changed dramatically. As we said earlier, as such, we're seeing compression in other sectors suggesting that in the near term anyway, funding for Gen AI is going to be somewhat dilutive to other segments of the market. Now, as we mentioned at the top, the data shows that for those customers spending actively on generative AI, a huge majority of customers, 94% report accelerating their AI spend in 2023. And while most customers are saying it's a modest spending increase of 10% or less, 36% say their spending will increase by double digits. So top-down pressures from the corner office to figure out generative AI is an urgent matter but the actual doing is much more challenging and complicated. This chart shows what customers are doing with Gen AI in production environments and it's not really shocking and it's hard to track what's driving revenue. It's certainly helping potentially with productivity. While 34% say they're not evaluating, that number is way down from last quarter. And while you may think that 34% is very high or one of these people talking about, we believe there is a difference in the minds of respondents between playing with generative AI and actively evaluating. So that's why the number is potentially so high. Regardless, when you look at what's actually happening in production environments, two things stand out. One, most people are still in eval mode and two, the use cases are pretty straightforward with chatbots at the top of the list followed by code generation, summarizing text and writing marketing copy is the main areas of interest today. Not really that surprising. We believe it's critical for organizations to truly understand the business case and identify ROI. The big ROI driver is going to come down to minimizing labor costs. You can put this in the productivity bucket, but at the end of the day, it's going to be about lessening the need for humans. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that unemployment will rise. It simply means that the number one driver of value is going to be reducing headcount requirements. And that will most certainly change the skills required for employment. Now, another key challenge facing organizations while top-down momentum is high and has accelerated, deployment opens a can of risky worms. Here's a slide from a recently released study by Technalysis, an independent analyst firm run by Bob O'Donnell. It shares results from 1,000 IT decision makers on their top concerns about gen AI. Compliance, IP leakage, legal concerns, such as copyright infringement, bias, data and tools quality, et cetera. These are legitimate reasons for being careful with generative AI and how it's being used. And much of that concern leads folks to say that they're going to do gen AI on-prem. Here's some data from ETR that shows organizations report an identical mix of private and public infrastructure, i.e. public cloud or on-prem slash edge deployments. The allure of cloud is it has the best tooling, but for the reasons that we mentioned in the Technalysis survey, private infrastructure is going to be in demand. At the same time, there's now lots of data in the cloud. We think it's closer to 40 to 45% of workloads are running in the cloud today, perhaps even as high as 50%. And as we've reported, the cloud and on-prem are coming somewhat more into balance, a little bit of an equilibrium. I mean, cloud is still growing much faster, but cloud migration is not as robust as the business case for moving workloads that haven't moved isn't as attractive. So we think that much of the cloud growth is new apps or features on top of existing cloud workloads. But the fact is in speaking with developers, the cloud is exceedingly capable when it comes to AI. Here are eight points that we've highlighted that devs tell us the public cloud is delivering on today. The pace of innovation in AI, building on previous tooling like Amazon SageMaker, for example, the simplicity of integration and the productivity that it's driving for developers, allowing those developers to get to an outcome very quickly, go to thecubeai.com, thecubeai.com and you'll see an example and sign up for our private beta. Our team built this very quickly in a matter of weeks. Now we're taking more time to train based on the queries that we're getting on the inbounds, but the time to MVP was one-tenth of a normal software product development cycle. Number four here is really, really important, model optionality and diversity, not only from the cloud vendor, but third parties. Number five and number six are also critical. The ability to fence off inference requests which that the LLM vendor can't access any customer IP and security, things like ensuring data stays in the region and encryption for data in flight and the cloud tools of first rate from silicon all the way through AI tool chains, maximum database optionality, governance choices, identity access, availability of open source tools, et cetera. So one has to ask the likes of HPE and Dell with GreenLake and Apex, sort of on-prem incumbents, even though you're talking about having LLMs or in the case of GreenLake, LLMs as a service, how capable are they and how truly integrated are they into a seamless as a service offering? This is something to watch closely. While doing work on-prem can reduce risks and makes a lot of sense, perhaps on a cost basis as well, a lot of work needs to be done for incumbent firms to build out their offerings and full stack of ecosystem partners. As well, the cloud players, they have business momentum, despite all the talk of cloud optimization and repatriation and slowing growth, the numbers still dramatically favor the cloud players. Here is ETR data showing the net score breakdown for several aspiring LLM leaders. Net score is a measure of spending velocity. It measures the percent of customers that are new logos, that's the lime green. The forest green represents customers spending 6% or more relative to last year. The gray is flat spending, the pink is spending 6% less or worse, and the bright red is churn. You subtract the reds from the greens and you get net score as shown in the column to the right of the bars. And then to the right of that net score, we show a column with the number of responses, the ends in the survey, which is a proxy for market presence. So you can see AWS, Microsoft and Google have net scores of 51%, 49% and 34% respectively and ends near or in the case of Microsoft, well over a thousand. Compare this to Dell and HPE with net scores of 18% and 9% respectively. Now, Dell has a large market presence with an end of over 800 and HPEs got a respectable 483, but the cloud still has a meaningfully higher momentum from a spending standpoint and a large presence. Now, not to leave out some of the other players, chart two of two here, here's the same data for Databricks, Snowflake, IBM and Oracle, some of the key data players. Databricks with a very solid net score of 60% has taken over the top spot from Snowflake, which is at 47% net score. Although Snowflake has a larger market presence, bigger ends, but clearly Databricks is converging in. IBM and Oracle, as you can see, have much lower net scores of 10% and minus 1% respectively, both with large ends and the dataset, of course, Oracle as we know, focuses more on revenue than on number of customers. So using AWS as a proxy, this chart shows AWS's revenue growth going back to growth rates, going back to Q1 2022, this is our forecast. And we think the deceleration will moderate and we're looking for flat growth in Q3. And our current forecast calls for a re-acceleration in Q4 with a modest 14% growth due to AI and Gen AI as a tailwind. There are many risks to this scenario, not the least of which is the macro environment and the law of large numbers kicking in as well as competition, but our current thinking is we're at the tail end of cloud optimization, we're going to shift to new network enablement. All right, we're going to close by looking at how we see a kind of modified power law distribution of large language models. A power law distribution is a statistical relationship between two quantities. The simple way to think of a power law distribution is the 80-20 rule. For example, 80% of the sales come from 20% of the products in our portfolio. And on this chart, we're taking liberties with the concept of saying 80% of the large models will be really built by 20% of the companies and that long tail on the X axis will be very specific to industry and smaller models. So the number of points that we'd like to make here. First, we believe that enterprise tech innovation continues to be driven by consumer volumes, PC chips, data prowess from search and social media, flash storage and more. And recently tech gaming with Nvidia and driving AI, these all found their way into the enterprise via the consumer channel. The big cloud and consumer brands we believe will dominate the large model space and the sustained running of models, whereas inference will happen on-prem and at the edge, increasingly. What's different here from, for example, the web, which is that sort of orange curve, is the power law curve was like a wall straight down with no torso, the large internet giants dominated and yet a long tail. The LLM space we believe will be different pulled up to the right as shown by that red dotted area where open source and third party tools and the likes of Snowflake and Databricks will fill the gap along with cloud partners in addition to Snowflake and Databricks. There are others as well maybe the security business, et cetera. The on-prem incumbents like Dell, HPE and IBM will succeed to the extent that they're able to leverage LLMs, LLM diversity and build it into an ecosystem, deploy it in their go-to-market models in a manner that is as simple as the cloud and more cost effective. Importantly, we believe that enterprise AI will demand a clear ROI and economic value or it will die in the vine. And as we said earlier, that value will largely come from headcount reductions or limits to headcount increases. Enterprise AI will succeed if it can reduce headcount growth. Meanwhile, we believe that inference at the edge will be dominated by architectures built on low cost, low power silicon, high performance systems. Very often these are gonna be arm-based designs that have massive volume. Think Apple, think Tesla and we believe that the economics at the edge will eventually find their way into the enterprise and be a major disruptive force. Now it may take the better part of a decade but the economics of enterprise IT since the PC disrupted the mainframe have been driven by consumer volumes and we think this wave will be no different. AI plus data plus volume economics will determine the fundamental structure of the industry in the coming years. That's a bet we think is worth making and whatever industry you're in, applying it however will require careful thought and deep thinking, not AI washing. Okay, we'll leave it there.

as a network of thinkers, of universities, of painters, of academics, of practitioners from around the world that are committed and unified by their focus on sustainable development. SDSN has an incredibly important role to play, first as a convener of academic disciplines across the board because one of the realities of the SDGs are that they are interdisciplinary and so therefore they do need expertise not just from say the field of economics but from the field of public health, from the field of education, from the field of biology, from the field of chemistry. Bringing all of this expertise together is something that the network structure of SDSN can do very effectively and has definitely effected. Well the sustainable development solutions network is a network of close to 2,000 universities all over the world, they all have that tremendous capacity of research, science and they have the possibility of contributing to policy making at the local, national, regional and global level. So I do think that mobilizing that knowledge, that scientific capacity is critical in support of meeting the agenda of these SDGs for 2030. So SDSN will continue to draw the reader's attention to those big important topics so that we can create or co-create the readership to sister chains for the human being. There is a big role for SDSN from my view, one of them is to put SDGs in many channels that they are not there yet. There are many contexts where people heard about it but they do not know what to do. SDSN, in my view, can help accelerate by first bringing science to the views and to the understanding of decision makers at all levels as well as solutions as it has links to those that are like ourselves in the middle of the better world trying to come up with solutions.
