If you need to use a chatbot to do your job, does that make YOU the robot? – James Shelley
Whether we’re smarter or stupider than the robots doesn’t much change the possibility that their presence will make our work more robotic.
Yep. As Nicholas Bate says, the only way to win in this present future is to be human.
My friend David Caolo updated his site. Dave has made a lovely transition from tech pundit/blogger to artist and I could not be more proud of him. I enjoy all of his work but especially love his watercolors.

The show is absolutely magical. Everyone was great, but especially to see these seniors, who I know so well, build these incredibly complex characters from vignettes, was mind-blowing. Beatrix’s friend has an amazing scene near the end that totally had me in tears, and the waterworks continued as Beatrix gave the final monologue of the show and she was So Damn Good.

Talking about 100 year old things still being around… Until they’re not.
What a loss!
Note: I actually began work on one. I had a Field Note I began as a draft of it (was meant to be that size). Maybe a time to revisit that idea.
Examples of this:
If you’d invested a thousand in any at the start, you’d be a millionare today.
Investing 101: Before investing in any company, ask yourself, “Will this company still be around for my grandchildren? If so, what product or service will they be providing?”
If the answer is not some form of “Pretty much the same thing as they do now.” Take your money elsewhere.
