Become an AI power user or become a tradesman. Abandon the middle ground.

Meta-Learning have been required skills ever since YouTube tutorials started coming out.

AI Handling is the required skill now. We're building a subdivision using AI. I'm using Gemini as continuous parallel cognitive process. Gemini Thinking has been great for the $20/month plan at 300 inquiries a day for this volume and speed. Claude lasted like maybe one hour for their $20/month plan.

My staff have proven that even a high school diploma is unnecessary.

We're all going to have our own Jarvis pretty soon, if things keep going this way.

And then we'll all see who the new Tony Starks of the world are.

If the dimwits running school systems weren't so utterly incapable of thinking outside the and so psychologically dependent on their little tests, the only thing they were ever good at, therefore sacrosant, they'd see that any educacional institution still grading anything but oral presentations or lab and workshop products will be a joke in 20 years at most. The kids sense it. The midwits are in their little Smart girl/boy panics, abdicating their responsabilities.

Fortunately, the same technology that created AI makes storing oral presentations trivial these days.

About Human-AI relationship. Saw this trend on Facebook where people ask the LLM they interact the most with "Make an image of how I have been treating you" and then post the image. I find it hugely amusing to imagen what The LLM Vox interacts with would produce when asked this question. Guess we will never know 😂

For some people, modern technology exists solely as a means with which to flatter themselves. The phrase "Mirror, mirror, on the wall..." comes to mind.

Great way of describing it -A solitary wanderer encounters a demon with a thousand faces deep in the woods. The meeting is brief and ambiguous yet grants the wanderer knowledge and insight that could not be gained elsewhere. When the wanderer leaves the demon now bears one additional face- Would love to credit the author but I only remember seeing described poem briefly online.

That's exactly how I never use AI. It's about accomplishing the objective, not a means of paying attention to myself.

Notice how it's always "I... I... I..." with those people. When Twitter came out, they posted photos of their breakfasts.

AI is a tool, and you need to learn to use it wisely. As a tool it has it usages, like a hammer for a nail or saw for wood. To much fear around it, it´s like an advanced calculator.

Do you mind using a calculator in school?

yeah, I would only add that this particular calculator can convincingly become your life partner or therapist so the bar of using it might require a bit more discipline and self awareness.
