"Will we treat AI agents like employees?" Puh-leeze. We barely treat employees as employees. If and when agents work, they'll instantly become automation.

I'm generally a curious person, and lots of ideas pop into my head, and it's been a lifelong frustration that I couldn't really talk through them with anyone. l love that ChatGPT is an excellent discussion partner, as long as you push to get opposing views. I feel smarter now!

I bought my daughter some nice-quality watercolors for her birthday. I thought I’d take the old ones for a spin—it’s been a while since I attempted a watercolor urban sketch.

I’m slightly surprised to find I’m looking forward to the coming year. I think limiting news and social media recently has helped!

Stack ranking is where you define a % of people that have to be designed as low performers. It turns out to be a great way to drive dysfunctional behavior, as people undermine each other to make sure that they’re not the lowest on the list, or avoid joining high-performance teams.

Even though I'm a presenter, I don't really get the point of presentations any more. Isn't it easier and faster to get that via a document?

"Provide unbearable levels of sophistication" by Anthropic Claude and @emollick.bsky.social . Insisting that this isn't creative, because it's the result of an algorithm, seems like a losing battle to me. (And yes the 7th arrondissement of Paris is unbearably sophisticated 😀 )
