AI safety report: nobody gets an A

A recent AI Safety Index assessed 8 major AI model developers across 35 indicators in 6 areas. The headline: no company scores above C+ overall.

Only 3 of 7 companies (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind) report any testing for dangerous capabilities like bio or cyber terrorism risks. And even those efforts lack clear standards.

Anthropic scored highest partly because they don't train on user data, lead in alignment research and operate as a Public Benefit Corporation.

Chinese firms Zhipu.AI and DeepSeek received failing grades, though they operate under stricter national AI regulations which makes self-governance less prominent.

The gap between capability development and safety practices keeps growing. AI systems now write, code, search and act on our behalf. But most companies building them can't demonstrate concrete safety processes or clear thresholds for when to pause deployment.

As MIT professor Max Tegmark put it: the purpose isn't to shame anyone. It's to show where things actually stand.

Turning data into decisions and ideas into products

🧈 still wins. Everything else is fighting for second place

Everyone talks about big tech.

You see the headlines about stock prices and AI chips every day.

But if you look at the actual market cap numbers, one asset leaves the others in the dust.

Gold.

Still in a category of its own.

Gold sits at over $30 trillion in market cap. That's more than double its nearest competitor.

The world changes. Gold stays gold.

The world's largest central banks by total assets 👀 

The Euro Area now leads with over $7.1 trillion in central bank assets. China and the United States follow close behind.

What's interesting: the size of these balance sheets tells you how much a country intervenes in its own economy through quantitative easing, currency pegs, or reserve accumulation.

Some numbers that stand out:
➩ India: $911 billion
➩ Brazil: $898 billion
➩ Saudi Arabia: $515 billion

These three alone hold more than $2.3 trillion combined. A decade ago, that would have been unthinkable.

Countries with large central bank reserves have more influence over global trade and currency markets. They have more firepower when things go wrong.

Helping Founders Scale, Prepare, and Exit | Value & Profit Growth | Live Streaming Business Development | Buying & Selling Businesses | Chief Exit Officer | LinkedIn Live Stream Host

Running a business was supposed to give you more freedom, not take it away.

But somewhere along the way, growth slowed. The work got heavier. You’re buried in day-to-day decisions, your team is busy, but results aren’t where they should be. Instead of scaling, it feels like you’re stuck.

That’s not failure. That’s a business plateau. And it’s more common than most business owners are willing to admit.

I help fix that.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with owners and leadership teams in manufacturing, ecommerce, and B2B services to help them grow businesses that run better, generate more value, and eventually become sellable when the time is right.

Through Exit Your Way, I guide B2B companies to build systems, elevate teams, and create exit options, even if they don’t plan to sell for years. Through our work at B2Btail with the Digital Game Plan strategy development/execution process, we help companies stop being the best kept secret by creating marketing foundations that attract their ideal customers and position them for long-term success.

My focus is simple: helping you build a business that works, whether you’re in the room or not.

Common challenges I help solve:

Low visibility: Your best customers don’t know you exist. We fix that by aligning messaging, strategy, and marketing assets to bring them to you.

Owner overload: If everything depends on you, growth hits a wall. We help build teams and systems that keep moving, even when you step away.

Exit confusion: You want out someday, but the path forward is unclear. We build companies buyers want and owners are proud of.

When it works, here’s what changes:

Customers find you because your message finally speaks their language

Your team handles the day-to-day, freeing you to focus on higher-value work

You move from reacting to leading, and from being stuck to scaling intentionally

I’ve built and sold companies, led investor-backed teams, and helped founders grow from $5 million to $30 million and beyond. I bring the tools, perspective, and calm needed to lead through messy growth and prepare for clean, profitable exits.

But this isn’t just about growth or selling. It’s about control over your time, your team, your income, and your future.

If you’re ready to lead again instead of constantly catching up, I’d be glad to talk.

You’ve built something great. Let’s make sure it works for you.
