Dear education system,
do you remember when, for like…forever, you insisted that every student learns in the same way and the ones that are not at the centre of the bell curve should be penalized?

Well, happy new year. https://t.co/2wQxc8AgAY

A new, very clever, application for #chatGTP: an app that lets you talk to historical figures.

It reminds me of episode 19, season 4, “The Nth Degree”, of my favourite TV show: Star Trek: The Next Generation. Einstein, there, was probably generated with #stablediffusion2… https://t.co/TNH3SWYe3g

These are the people I’d need to have urgent conversations with, but plenty of others come to mind. We could set up a Discord server here…

Think about it. It’s much easier to talk to these people in this way than trying to queue after entire Twitter to talk to @elonmusk.

Seth Godin weights in on the #AIart debate. It’s amazing that some people calling themselves “artists” can’t see this obvious argument.

Either you didn’t study art history at all, or you have conveniently forgot. >

And it’s not just about artists. A student that learns momentum trading from her finance professor and uses his technique in her first few years of trading (until she’s ready to add her own twist) is doing exactly the same.

Musicians. Athletes. Software developers. We all learn patterns from somebody else and we reuse them until we are ready to build on top of them. Somebody else’s style has morphed into our own style. And if it’s good, somebody will copy us, too.

But to do that, you need to throw in the bin decades of mental structures about what an OS is and where is the value provided to the users.

I’ve been wanting to inject #AI into the operating system for years. I never had the chance. Maybe players like @Canonical will find a way.

Expect large language models to infiltrate every app of every office productivity suite out there. https://t.co/TDKICkohbt

I don’t know what @panos_panay has in mind in terms of implementation. I have been thinking a lot in the last few months about what an OS is and what’s its job-to-be-done in 2020-2030.

We now have the tools to create something radically different.
