On the last Friday of each month I curate some of the observations and insights that were shared on social media. I call these Friday’s Finds.
“The real power of PKM shows up not at the end, but in the consistent rhythm of seeking, sensing, and sharing.” —Bonni Stachowiak
“America putting most of its eggs in the generative AI basket, China going hard into green tech. When history looks back on this period, someone is going to look awfully stupid.” —Nicholas Grossman
“As long as your country has billionaires, it has no cost of living crisis. It has an inequality crisis.” —Jeremy Mallin
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” —Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
“Did a guest spot in a business class on Monday and happened to talk GPTs with them too.While my programming students may be trying LLM’s, they easily see the mistakes and risks to their own understanding. The business students, all 100% on board with the autocomplete, didn’t even have thoughts that it wasn’t always right or leading them on paths that didn’t make sense. I went back to the programming students and reminded them that is how a lot of the users think of tech, the search result is always trustworthy, the feed is safely curated. Now they understand the world better.” —Jeff Horton
“The Venn diagram of people who say, ‘Working from home puts cafés out of business, and those who say ‘If you stopped buying coffee every day you’d be able to buy a house’ is a circle.” —Cam
“They didn’t know which factory had built him and there was no serial number or manual anywhere, but they decided they would love him for however long his battery lasted.” —Grickle Image below
