The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their own ability, and that people with high ability at a task underestimate their own ability.

Applying this to the NFT space! 👇

"AI isn't replacing radiologists" good article

Expectation: rapid progress in image recognition AI will delete radiology jobs (e.g. as famously predicted by Geoff Hinton now almost a decade ago). Reality: radiology is doing great and is growing.

There are a lot of imo naive predictions out there on the imminent impact of AI on the job market. E.g. a ~year ago, I was asked by someone who should know better if I think there will be any software engineers still today. (Spoiler: I think we're going to make it). This is happening too broadly.

The post goes into detail on why it's not that simple, using the example of radiology:

- the benchmarks are nowhere near broad enough to reflect actual, real scenarios.
- the job is a lot more multifaceted than just image recognition.
- deployment realities: regulatory, insurance and liability, diffusion and institutional inertia.
- Jevons paradox: if radiologists are sped up via AI as a tool, a lot more demand shows up.

I will say that radiology was imo not among the best examples to pick on in 2016 - it's too multi-faceted, too high risk, too regulated. When looking for jobs that will change a lot due to AI on shorter time scales, I'd look in other places - jobs that look like repetition of one rote task, each task being relatively independent, closed (not requiring too much context), short (in time), forgiving (the cost of mistake is low), and of course automatable giving current (and digital) capability. Even then, I'd expect to see AI adopted as a tool at first, where jobs change and refactor (e.g. more monitoring or supervising than manual doing, etc). Maybe coming up, we'll find better and broader set of examples of how this is all playing out across the industry.

About 6 months ago, I was also asked to vote if we will have less or more software engineers in 5 years. Exercise left for the reader.

Full post (the whole The Works in Progress Newsletter is quite good):

“The Elephant” by @amitsharma_raw

A Curated Release in partnership with @ColonnaContempo that explores the psychological response arising from the tension between what we see and what we believe.

The series of artworks explore the concept of False Memory through three movements. Residual memory, source confusion and half-truth. The Elephant is a collection of real photographs taken by @amitsharma_raw and augmented with Generative AI.

Just watching @theliverdoc podcast with @BeerBicepsGuy .

And the sheer number of these types of ADs while watching on youtube proves why we need more education and rational thought when it comes to medical choices we make. The irony 😂

Testing out @HeyGen_Official translation on French and German. I don’t speak either language so let me know if it sounds natural if you do.
I hope if you pay you can turn off the color correction.
It didn’t work on my phone so I had to upload on my pc.

Speaks for itself. Understanding what we mean by “equality” is the first step.

Hey there @_PVRCinemas are you guys in the theater business or the popcorn business?

Your food costs twice as much as the tickets! I guess since your customers are “trapped” for a couple of hours with no recourse to the food court, this is where you make your money?

This is the very definition of “Price Gouging”.

What next? Charging your customers to take a piss?

Be reasonable guys.

@mukherjeesanjay @iamupaa Congrats @iamupaa

Just spent 25 mins listening to an amazing album.

When we consider Gen Z/Alpha, there is a certain trepidation, a downward spiral. But 10 mins into 16y old songwriter @iamupaa's debut album 'Negotiating Oxytocin' will give you immense hope for the future.

I’m finding it tough to pick my best song! But if I have to choose it’s Fallen, the last song…. 'cause I can’t wait for his next album. I love the progression of the album, starts deep and lonely, moves to Smithereens which is my 2nd fav. and ends with the most deliciously hopeful song for the future. I’m speechless.

-edit: 24 hours later, the song 7:55 is now stuck in my head!
