Dessi Popova: Pre-1990s, every morning, stockbrokers flipped open The Wall Street Journal, scanning numbers that shaped their day.

Without daily updates, they’d be lost—today’s trading depended on yesterday’s news.

Today, AI moves just as fast. If we don’t learn daily, we fall behind.

Back then, it was stock prices. Now, it’s algorithms. 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝.

But here’s the difference: keeping up today isn’t just about reading in your little corner of the world. AI evolves faster than any previous technological shift—it’s not like the internet or even the industrial revolution.

Your phone became an extension of your hand—AI is about to become an extension of your mind. And the way you use it will change by the minute.

Not alone. Not by reading the news a day late.

That’s why I sat down with Tris, a mentor at DLN, who put it best:
