Great piece. As an OG who has been in the nptech sector for 30 years, moving slowly is not new. There have always been a small number early of adopters and the sector moving slowly to embrace tech. The AI is different because of its potential and power and because of the fast development. I would love to see more experimenting (low risk) and innovative thinking and doing.
Fantastic article -- I'm going to be sharing it a lot.
I spent some time working in a small private high school started within a nonprofit social service agency. I found the gap between the educators and the nonprofit staff regarding attitudes to technology to be HUGE. They all were working crazy hours for low pay, but the teachers (of all ages) were all over tech, and most of the agency staff were ostriches.
I'm so glad to be connected with folks who are trying to help our nonprofit pals "get it" when it comes to the potential of AI. Thanks for your thought leadership!!

I've been reflecting your piece and thinking about the wait calculation concept and whether the slow to adopt is actually strategic (probably not) https://gwern.net/doc/statistics/decision/2006-kennedy.pdf
I love this tie in! I agree, however, I don't see any evidence that points to 'strategic' waiting taking place here...
