Just had an interesting (but a bit unsettling) conversation with #AI about what it thought its future abilities would be. It’s a long response but worth the read.
My question: What new #emergent #abilities will occur when #parameter #numbers can be increased by orders of #magnitude?
AI’s response: This is a fascinating and actively researched question in AI! As language models like GPT grow in parameter count by orders of magnitude (e.g., from billions to tens or hundreds of trillions),

Regardless, I know my #skills, #strengths, #weaknesses, and #abilities. Business-wise, I know what I bring to every casting is what award-winning writers and directors seek — and what top-of-the-line agents want to represent. Career-wise, I know the types of projects for which I’m best suited.
One day, perhaps soon, the break I seek will find me and all this effort will be worth it. 💪🏻
In traditional impostor syndrome, individuals doubt their own abilities despite evident success. In cybersecurity, this psychological struggle takes a modern twist — welcome to Digital Impostor Syndrome. It’s the uneasy feeling that you’re faking competence in a fast-moving, tech-driven...

"Companies can’t launch a new AI venture without their customers telling them, clearly, “nobody wants this.” And yet they persist. Why? Class solidarity. The capitalist class, as a whole, has made a massive bet on AI: $1 trillion dollars,

#unison is super interesting to me. I recently visited their discord server and found out about #abilities
Unison gurus say abilities completely eliminate the need for #monads (reportedly they do still miss #applicatives though).
I wish I could use it as my daily driver but I’m not nearly skilled enough to build the world for each app I want to make.
Once it catches on, though, the concept of #frontend and #backend will go away overnight.

Yesterday I didn't have enough time to answer (well, today, too, but let's try it again ;))
I totally agree with tante that #gamification is manipulative, paternalistic shit
And yes, learning can be made easier and can be a lot of fun
But gamification is not good teaching, it is manipulation
Including fun into learning can be reached by good teaching
You can simply #teach children of all #abilities how to learn & how to love it

Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.

It was a characteristic of Jean Valjean that he might have been said to carry two bags: in one he kept his saintly thoughts, in the other the formidable talents of a convict. He dug into one or the other, depending on circumstances.
[Jean Valjean avait cela de particulier qu’on pouvait dire qu’il portait deux besaces; dans l’une il avait les pensées d’un saint, dans l’autre les redoutables talents d’un forçat. Il fouillait dans l’une ou dans l’autre, selon l’occasion.]
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Les Misérables, Part 2 “Cosette,” Book 5 “Dark Hunt, Mute Mutts,” ch. 5 (2.5.5) (1862) [tr. Donougher (2013)]

@energisch_ @gerrymcgovern unfortunately, the more mom and pop, specialized, independent #home service companies get eaten up by larger all-in-one, everything home #conglomerates the harder that becomes.
Even with their #expensive #crm #serviceTitan #efficiency #constantContact #app tool for #scheduling and #pricing their new #super #skills #company needs to charge more for everything with less experienced #workers than if you had a #momAndPop #master do the work!
If anyone truly wants to #save the #Planet everyone needs to kick #bro out of the #game
Anyone that thinks replacing #human #skills and #abilities with #software and #machines is better for the #Environment than letting a human expell their own #energy doing the same things, is the problem, not part of any real word solution.

A quotation from Alcott, Louisa May:
«
You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.
