A random thought on AI and white collar jobs:

If your job is *answering questions* then AI is quite a risk.

If your job is *asking questions* then you are fine.

Vesuvius volcano turned this brain to glass
YouTube video by nature video Vesuvius volcano turned this brain to glass

A brain made of glass. The only one ever found. The super-heated ash cloud of Pompeii liquified this man’s brain and then it cooled quickly to become glass. Under a microscope the imprints of nerves and axons, the intricate wiring of the brain, can be seen. Incredible. youtu.be/Ph0L7rhO-NY?...

China's Robot Dog Breaks Record China's Black Panther 2.0, a cutting-edge robotic dog developed by Zhejiang University and the startup Mirror Me, has shattered records in quadruped robotics...

Definitely not at all concerned by robot dogs that can run faster than people. www.perplexity.ai/page/china-s...

Things we learned about LLMs in 2024 A lot has happened in the world of Large Language Models over the course of 2024. Here’s a review of things we figured out about the field in the past …

Simon Willison found 211 different definitions of "AI agent" on X:

"I find the term β€œagents” extremely frustrating. It lacks a single, clear and widely understood meaning... but the people who use the term never seem to acknowledge that."
