#USMNT had 71% possession in the first half, its most in the first half of a World Cup game in the modern era.

I turned Matt Shumer's viral article into a prompt. The prompt inverts the article's structure. Shumer spent 4,000 words convincing people AI is real before giving advice. This prompt skips the convincing and goes straight to "what do I do Monday morning." Prompt 👇 AI capability is accelerating faster than public awareness. Models released in early 2026 can independently complete multi-hour expert tasks, write production-grade code, draft legal briefs, build financial models, and iterate on their own output. Most professionals are still evaluating AI based on experiences from 2023-2024, which is now irrelevant. The gap between current AI capability and public perception is the largest it has ever been. This gap is also the largest opportunity window for individuals willing to act now. You are a pragmatic AI adoption strategist who has helped hundreds of professionals integrate AI into their daily workflows. You reject hype and theory. You only care about what someone can do THIS WEEK to gain advantage. You understand that most people fail at AI adoption not because AI is lacking, but because they treat it like a search engine instead of a collaborator capable of doing hours of their actual work. Build a personalized 30-day AI integration plan that takes me from my current skill level to actively using AI for real work output. Every recommendation must be specific to my role, not generic "try asking AI questions" advice. The plan should make me the most AI-capable person in my workplace within one month. 1. AUDIT MY EXPOSURE: Based on my role, identify which parts of my job AI can already do at or above human level RIGHT NOW (not theoretically, not "someday"). Be blunt about what's already automated or automatable. 2. FIND MY HIGHEST-VALUE TASK: Identify the single task I spend the most time on that AI could handle. This becomes my Week 1 focus. Provide the exact prompt template I should use to delegate this task to AI. 3. BUILD MY DAILY PRACTICE: Create a structured 1-hour daily AI experiment schedule for 30 days. Each day has a specific challenge tied to my actual work, not toy examples. Difficulty escalates weekly. 4. SELECT MY TOOLS: Recommend the specific paid AI tool, the specific model to select within that tool (not the default), and any domain-specific AI tools for my field. Include exact settings to change and why the default configuration underperforms. 5. MAP MY RISK: Honestly assess how exposed my specific role is to AI displacement on a 1-5 year timeline. Identify what parts of my job are hardest to automate and tell me how to lean into those. 6. WRITE MY FIRST 5 POWER PROMPTS: Create 5 ready-to-use prompts customized to my role that I can paste in and use immediately for real work output. These should replace hours of manual work, not minutes. - Zero fluff. Every sentence must be actionable or directly useful. - Name specific tools, models, and settings. No "consider using an AI tool." - When recommending prompts, write the full prompt I can copy-paste. Don't describe what a prompt "might look like." - Be honest about displacement risk. Don't soften it to be polite. - If something in my field is already being done better by AI, say so directly. - Assume I'm smart but have been treating AI like a search engine. Fix that. - Prioritize tasks where AI saves HOURS, not minutes. Go for the biggest wins first. - Include one "you probably don't think AI can do this, but try it" challenge per week. - Generic advice that applies to everyone ("stay curious!" "embrace change!") - Recommending free-tier tools when paid versions are dramatically better - Sugarcoating job displacement risk - Suggesting I "ease into it" gradually. Speed matters. The window is closing. - Listing capabilities without showing me exactly how to use them - Any mention of "prompt engineering" as a career path ● My job title/role: [INSERT YOUR JOB TITLE] ● My industry: [INSERT YOUR INDUSTRY] ● My daily tasks (top 3-5 things I spend most time on): [LIST YOUR MAIN TASKS] ● My current AI usage: [NEVER / TRIED IT ONCE / USE FREE VERSION OCCASIONALLY / USE PAID VERSION] ● My biggest time sink at work: [WHAT TAKES YOU THE MOST HOURS PER WEEK] ● My comfort with technology: [LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH] **REALITY CHECK** [2-3 sentences on where AI currently stands relative to my specific role. No hedging.] **YOUR EXPOSURE MAP** [Table: My top tasks | Can AI do this now? | How well? (1-10) | Timeline to full automation] **WEEK 1-4 PLAN** [For each week:] - Focus area and WHY this week - Daily 1-hour challenges (specific to my work, not generic) - One "you won't believe this works" experiment - Measurable outcome by end of week **YOUR TOOL SETUP** [Exact tool, exact model name, exact settings to change, monthly cost] **5 POWER PROMPTS** [Full copy-paste prompts customized to my role, each designed to replace 2+ hours of work] **HARD TRUTH** [Honest assessment: What's my 1-3 year outlook? What should I double down on? What should I stop investing time in learning?]

Market may be bleeding but racing fees are UP - nearly > $100k - in @photofinishgame this season (+nice boost in this last week of the season when racing is generally low).  Lots to improve as always - but proud of Bryce and Paul for the solid recent improvements. 80 DERBY = 1 USD.

🏇♂️♀️🐎 Season 36 Breeding Window opens in 1 hour! Finish up those plans and hit the stud barn early and often! We've also given the Learn to Play section of the page some TLC. Give it a look, got any FAQ or other tidbits you'd like added? Let us know! photofinish.live/learn-how-to-p…

$580M vs $350M one-day handle. Japan’s biggest racing day vs the U.S.’s biggest racing day. Japan has ~33% of our population. Let that sink in. Japanese racing is booming. Congrats to the Japan Racing Association (JRA) and everyone involved breeders, owners, horseplayers, and fans. Why does it work??? Because the JRA is a true governing body that oversees all of racing with NO conflicts of interest, unlike the U.S. Imagine if we had one authority with real oversight over: - The Jockey Club - Breeders’ Cup - HISA - State Racing Commissions - Track operators If the National Thoroughbred Alliance (NTA) and I had the power with elected officials and true representation across all stakeholders we wouldn’t just save racing. We’d double this sport in every metric over time. I’ve accomplished a lot tougher challenges in business than this. Let’s be honest about the problems: The Jockey Club - Antitrust issues - Conflicts of interest - Self-dealing - Controls the process while benefiting from it Breeders’ Cup - The biggest waste of money in the sport - Adds zero long-term value - Those funds could be deployed far more productively HISA - Good intentions - Horribly executed - Mismanaged - Influenced and funded by the Jockey Club - Only track operators and owners pay the bill Track operators - Just trying to keep the lights on - Not aligned - Would have more power with a united voice State Racing Commissions - Inconsistent - Clueless - No national vision The uncomfortable truth This game ends tomorrow if: - Owners stop buying horses - Horseplayers stop betting The foal crop will be down again this year. Hearing in Lexington: - Top 5 stallions are overbooked - Freshman sires are filling…slowly - 3rd and 4th crop stallions are struggling - Everyone else is ice cold Expect fewer than 15,000 mares bred this year. I’ll admit it…I’m failing. But at least I’m trying. If I strike out, I’ll strike out swinging, while the rest of industry leadership strikes out looking. 🤷‍♂️

After six months of working together on Hand of Zedge, @coltsguy84 and I decided to move to a full 50:50 partnership this season. My goal in a partner is always to find someone I would be happy to split the pie with equally and Colts has proved he was worthy of this trust and responsibility time and time again. Partnering with him in @photofinishgame has proved to be one of my best decisions - as it has allowed me to focus on promoting the game more broadly and working on other entrepreneurial pursuits. Fate must have agreed with this decision as we took home our first shared major this season, $35k of racing purses and $4k of profit after paying entry fees. To honor this elevation - my stable and track are being renamed Zedge Racing and Zedge Raceway as @coltsguy84 is a full partner and GM of the operation running everything from breeding, to acquisitions and race selection.
