@stevenbjohnson says it's fine to use AI to write words for you, so long as it's not a one-shot prompt. "Paragraph by paragraph directed writing" is a new style he sees emerging.

@amandamull Kareem Abdul-Jabar was a wnyc guest on my very first day on the job. This was 2004 in municipal building and the newsroom occupied what was once the green room. He was the first of many celebrities to traipse past my desk, confused looking for the bathroom.

[Steven Johnson @stevenbjohnson]

Covered a lot of ground with @dblums on the Webby-winning Future Around And Find Out podcast, including:
• why AI podcasts need imperfections
• how Dungeons & Dragons players are embracing @NotebookLM
• using AI to uncover unexpected connections
• the new possibilities of AI-augmented writing
• the downsides of cognitive offloading
• using AI as your second brain to help you deepen your thinking, not replace it

So if — big if IMO! — AI does take all the jobs... then what? We probably ought to have some sort of plan for how to distribute the gains from a few AI megawinners to the rest of us...

Are we robots? Or are we dancers? Dancer-turned-roboticist @CatieCuan says why not both? Catie is designing robots that don't just do their functional jobs, but do so in ways that make us want to welcome them into our homes, our lives. EQ for robots. https://t.co/v7PHygpxS9...

"I gotta admit that was pretty dope."

That's not only how I feel about this episode, but also what @Google Assistant said to @kelseyhightower after his best live-on-stage recovery.

How and why to embrace emotion, in software & storytelling, on https://t.co/zlkqXdKKks

[Dan Blumberg @dblums]

I love this episode with @kelseyhightower

It's as much about being a great human as it is about being a great innovator.

Key is to embrace emotion, something Kelsey has mastered in both software and storytelling.
