It is shown that employees with these skills are up to 5x more effective than those without these skills (and this is exponentially increasing year on year).
Employees with well-developed AI symbiosis are effectively able to become the ‘CEO’ of their own work, leveraging an army of AI and automation to do their bidding, while focusing on only the most strategic and high-value work.

In the last few hours, I have gained a newfound appreciation for the possibilities of OpenAI. Anyone can access the OpenAI API by signing up. I started playing around with it, and in the first hour had created an outline for a course on web3, written a poem about an autistic woman and an ADHD […]

Notion and Readwise now have a native integration in beta and so far it has been a game-changer for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) nerds. In this post, I explore how I have implemented it (pretty much all the credit to August Bradley though!) and what it has meant to me.

The assignment involved creating a quick and dirty paper prototype with a simple mechanic. The idea was just to create something and not worry about fine-tuning and balancing it too […]

When Robots get Jealous

We may ‘love’ our electronic toys and gadgets but could they ever truly love us back? Could they form pure bonds of affection or fly into a blind rage at the site of their owner’s latest smartphone?

Maybe people play WOW because of this

Reading Jesse Schell’s book The Art of Game Design, I was struck at his explanation of what motivates people to play games, and particularly why games that involve social communities (like MMOs) have such popularity and staying power.
