Still a lot of value in learning to fly a Cessna before the jetliner, and learning to work with the "pencil and paper" of you craft before anything else. If you skip this step you are forever at a loss on a bunch of dimensions.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been wondering the same thing lately. The Microsoft research finding is very interesting — the follow-up question is how do we build the level of self-confidence needed to be not lazy with critical thinking
Agency is everything…makes me think of the free will question. Aren’t we actually deterministic meat puppets already under the illusion we have free will? I’m not a fan of hard determinism but it can be tough to resist. Might we not say instead, “maintaining a sense of agency is everything”?
Thanks Tom, brilliant. I'm a researcher on the threats we face as a result of this AI jaggernaut. If many of us like-minded join forces we might just beat this damn beast. I've subscribed to support you, no more devastation.

Spot on. If you surrender the wheel, you’re just cargo on your own route. Agency is everything.

Fair and well said!
“Men become the tools of their tools.” Henry David Thoreau. Prescient.
We should debate some time.
Yes, I would love that!
Thanks Tom, for dissecting the world being created and the wild ride to come. We're all in this together-chins up.
Amen!

Love never fails 🌾
Thank you! We won’t go down without a fight!
