Thinking about two growing sides of AI.
One side, believes solely in the power of the human mind, and rejects all knowledge not born from it.
The other side, sees the limitations of the human mind and wants to push all knowledge using any tool possible.
@clairetbutler@figma I spent the last of my budget on this career design course from Crew. Full disclosure, my friend built it. But it was sweet! Was planning to quit my job, and instead it helped me reframe my thinking with a small group of cool folks!!

New paper in Science today on playing the classic negotiation game "Diplomacy" at a human level, by connecting language models with strategic reasoning! Our agent engages in intense and lengthy dialogues to persuade other players to follow its plans. This was really hard! 1/5
YPCC’s global report on climate opinion is out.
TLDR: Some countries know lots about climate change, some know nothing. Some blame governments, others individuals or businesses. Some want to take action, others don’t. Whatever the opinion, it’s interesting to think about why.
Our new report, in partnership with Data for Good at Meta, is now live. This survey investigated public climate change knowledge, attitudes, policy preferences, and behavior in more than 190 countries and territories worldwide. https://t.co/a9uEqY723x

4 hours on hold with @Qantas only to finally reach someone who then hung up on me! While on hold, I heard a recording tell me, at least 1000 times, that my safety and wellbeing is their highest priority. This call has dropped my wellbeing to an all time low. #qantasnightmares
When people hesitate to give honest feedback on an idea, draft, or performance, I ask for a 0-10 score.
No one ever says 10. Then I ask how I can get closer to a 10.
It motivates them to start coaching me—and motivates me to be coachable. I want to learn how to close the gap.
A walkthrough in what Design Research means nowadays - touching upon distancing, practice maturity and data abundance - and what to stand for in our work. Thanks @serota for finding the perfect words https://t.co/OJy9grb5wd
You know how the Curse of the Monkey's paw works: a cursed object grants all of your wishes, but in the worst way possible: "be careful what you wish for."
That's what we're living through with Big Tech right now.
