We deploy over 800 AI models across 350 use cases, and expect the measured economic impact of these to exceed S$1bn ($745m) in 2025

Over the next three years, we envisage that AI could reduce the need to renew about 4,000 temporary/contract staff across 19 markets

I enjoyed reading this :)

"European cathedrals were built over generations by thousands of people. Similarly, the electric grid, the public-water supply, the food-distribution network, and the public-health system took the collective labor of thousands… They are the cathedrals of our secular era."

I feel embarrassed writing about this but I'm only starting to realize how big the difference is between

relating to other people as objects (there to meet my ~very special, very important~ needs)

and

as real humans (with all the complexity, agency and needs that this entails)

I like learnings that feel so obvious in retrospect that it borders on banal.

I like them because they show me how incomplete my silly little world model is.

A recent one: other people don't heal our relational traumas; it's *how* we relate to others that does.

A good question to ask self and others: "what small thing would help right now?"

I just finished reading Existential Psychotherapy by Irvin Yalom and I loved it so much I'm organizing a little interactive workshop on meaning/meaninglessness 🌌🔮😊🙃

I'm excited about doing this War and Peace read-along this year if anyone wants to join me - one super-short chapter a day keeps the death anxiety away, as they say 💃

Reading Existential Psychotherapy by Irvin Yalom, and wanting to share:

Yalom, so far (I'm only on p63/486), is essentially arguing that 'every fear is ultimately the fear of death'.

He disagrees with Freud a lot who tended to make stuff more about repressed sexuality.

But, he then quotes Freud:

psychotherapy training module on grief this weekend.
very beautiful.

grief is natural, normal, necessary, and possible to move through.

for most people, this happens organically and takes time (6 months - 1 yr, w lots of variance).
for some, dedicated support might be needed to let go & feel.
