MAY 14, 2025Spying on the competition through their job postings, how liable should you be for your AI's screwups, and a tone-checker for feuding co-parents ... all that and more in today's newsletter. Let's get started!
This Prompt Turns Job Postings into a Real-Time Market RadarAnd Makes LinkedIn or Indeed Work for YouYour competitors hire for the future they believe is coming. Each vacancy is a tiny breadcrumb that, when you zoom out, spells out product bets, geographic priorities, even a company’s unspoken pain points. Today’s “Talent-Signal” prompt turns any stack of job ads into strategic foresight in fifteen minutes. The big ideaYou feed ChatGPT (or any capable LLM) a bundle of current openings from a rival, a partner, or an adjacent industry. The model clusters the roles, extracts the skills and technologies that repeat, and surfaces the business capabilities implied. The result is a concise brief you can drop straight into your next planning deck or exec update. The prompt
**You are a competitive-intelligence analyst. Here is a list of job postings from [Company X] (paste them).
Group related roles into logical buckets (e.g., “Edge-AI Hardware,” “Healthcare Data Partnerships”). For each bucket, identify the top five recurring skills, tools, or certifications. Infer what strategic initiative the company is likely pursuing. Rate the maturity of each initiative on a 1-5 scale, where 1 = exploratory pilot and 5 = full-scale rollout, explaining your reasoning in one sentence. Suggest two watch signals (news filings, regulatory moves, domain registrations, etc.) that would confirm or refute each inference. Return your answer as a clear text brief—no tables.**

Insuring Against AI Mistakes: Armilla’s Bet on a New Risk ClassHow Many AI Screwups Is Your Business Willing to Take? Regulators issue guidance, consultants preach “responsible AI,” and enterprises still fret over one nightmare scenario: the model goes rogue, a customer sues, and legal costs explode. Toronto-based Armilla AI believes it has found the commercial answer — an insurance policy that treats faulty AI the way Lloyd’s of London once treated leaky steamships. Armilla’s new policy, underwritten by several Lloyd’s syndicates, covers up to $15 million in legal fees, damages, and remediation when an AI system “performs materially below its represented standard.” Early adopters are customer-service heavy companies whose chatbots have already had public meltdowns (think Air Canada inventing a refund that never existed). Premiums vary by model complexity and the rigor of pre-launch audits. Why it mattersAI liability has been a boardroom thought exercise for years, but real dollars change behavior. When CFOs can book a line item called “AI E&O,” they suddenly have a benchmark for how much failure should cost — and a mechanism to push vendors toward safer deployment.
