Employee-led content sounds great in theory. Then you ask your team to post on LinkedIn and suddenly everyone develops a severe case of “what would I even say?”

The problem isn’t always a lack of ideas. People may not know what good employee content looks like, feel awkward putting themselves out there, or overthink every post until they never publish it. Giving employees more guidance, examples, and a place to share ideas can make posting feel much less intimidating.

A few ways to make employee-led content easier:

• Create a space where employees can share post ideas, examples, and questions.
• Show different types of posts so people don’t assume everything needs to be a personal essay or humblebrag.
• Give employees simple social guidelines without turning every post into a compliance exercise.
• Encourage consistency over perfection. Not every post needs to be a 1,000-word thought leadership piece.
• Keep an ongoing bank of ideas so employees have something to pull from when they’re ready to post.
• Celebrate good examples internally to give others inspiration and confidence.

Your employees don’t necessarily need more content training. Sometimes they just need a little less pressure to get started.

Don’t miss the latest episode of The Daily Carnage Show where we break down AI’s biggest slow down in the AI race. But there’s one problem: nobody wants to lose.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for the AI industry to “pace the frontier,” arguing that AI capabilities are advancing faster than safety research can keep up. At the same time, the U.S. and China are competing for technological leadership, investors want companies to keep building, and AI infrastructure is expanding at a massive pace.

So what would an AI slowdown actually look like? And can the world coordinate on AI safety when every major player has an incentive to keep moving?

In this episode of The Daily Carnage Show, Shannon breaks down the growing debate over AI safety, recursive self-improvement, the U.S.-China AI race, AI regulation, and the geopolitical stakes of slowing down frontier AI.

Ever feel like someone’s watching when you’re talking to AI?

DuckDuckGo turns that feeling into something impossible to ignore in its new Duck.ai campaign. Giant, creepy eyeballs start bouncing toward people as they ask AI questions about everything from work to skincare, making online surveillance feel a lot more… literal.

Across three spots, the “prying eyes” become a visual representation of that nagging feeling that someone — or something — is watching.

And then Duck.ai shows up to make the eyes disappear. A pretty effective way to make privacy concerns look as unsettling as they feel.
