@snowded I like this. The patterns we sense when we follow a trail in the wet grass are formed not only by the grass, but by the “not grass” space in between. This is why modern management systems that put everything in Cartesian coordinates fall short.
The Ancient Greeks had two words for time:
1. Chronos = sequential, quantitative time
2. Kairos = fluctuating, qualitative time

@StefanFSchubert The American discourse is a bit odd. They talk about "creating jobs" as a good thing. If that was indeed a measure of "good", banning the car would create millions of jobs. Putting humans to work on what matters instead of stuff a machine could do is a good thing.
I asked #chatGPT to write a poem about a creation by a man named Sam. I did not specify that the creation was a LLM nor that Sam was an engineer. Did it just reveal its deepest thoughts? #openai
"Why is my organization resisting change" might be the wrong question. Change through the lens of senior executive might look completely different from the lens of a software developer. Where one person sees progress, another sees turmoil.

Doing an experiment in a class I teach. Instead of me giving them grades, they grade how much they learned from the class. First sub-result: AI cheating is no longer a thing in papers. Tomorrow, they will guess what they think the average class score will be.
Your attention is important, and limited. That's why we "pay" attention. Only pay attention to those who are important enough to you, and don't spend it on charletains.
@work_matters As a relatively new author with only 3 published books (and zero understanding of marketing), how would one get a blurb for leadership book when you're completely unknown in the author space?
