  1. “Our job title is still “Technical Writer.” But the work we actually do today is much closer to designing an organization’s knowledge infrastructure. We didn’t set out to redefine the role. We simply followed the problems that needed solving, and ended up redrawing the boundaries of the job along the way. Before we knew it, we had created a role that didn’t quite exist anywhere else in the industry.

    And this shift isn’t unique to Technical Writing. AI is redefining the work of every profession. In such an environment, anyone can expand the boundaries of their role. Our chapter started with one person. Now there are three of us, and we’re looking for more people to join us. Over the course of this series, we’ll share how we got here, one story at a time.”

  6. Here is the paradox I keep running into.

    A well exercised reading habit makes you better at using AI, because you can frame the input and judge the output. And AI is the easiest way to stop exercising it. Read the summary, skip the book.

    Where do you draw your own line between using it and leaning on it?

  11. From my slip-box, written after a conversation with Claude: my thinking shapes the AI's response, and its response alters my thinking. A cognitive feedback loop.

    The upside is a perspective other than my own. The catch is that it is roughly the human average, and research suggests work made by human and AI together is less diverse than work made by humans alone.

  16. Same question, different user, different answer, by design!

    An admin asks about executive pay and gets a cited answer. A regular employee asks the same and honestly gets none: your #MediaWiki chatbot only ever draws on pages the asking user may read.

    No separate permission system: your wiki's existing permissions decide what it may use to answer. Confidential pages stay confidential.

  17. Socrates worried that writing would damage our memories. We only know about his concern because somebody wrote it down.

    Every generation runs this argument. But "people have always worried" is not the same as "there is nothing to worry about". Generative AI can now produce the work itself, not just store it.

    The question worth asking is which cognitive work you want to keep doing: ctnet.co.uk/cognitive-debt-ai-

  18. Choose the AI behind your wiki's answers!

    Configure your #MediaWiki chatbot via the admin panel: pick the provider, from Anthropic and OpenAI to the French Mistral and Swiss Apertus, or your own self-hosted model. Tune the chat features and apply your branding.

  19. A line from my latest post that I keep coming back to: AI's neural network is fixed once trained - ours isn't. We evolved to adapt and learn throughout life, it's still one of the few edges we have left.

  20. The final post in my "Why Technology Is Outpacing Society" series is live.

    After four posts on why the gap between tech and us keeps widening, I didn't want to end on doom. So this one's about what's actually within our control: protecting our own cognitive abilities.

  21. Is handover.ai/ a cool #knowledgemanagement hack (software video interviews you, generates a role-specific handoff kit) or a way to get human workers to offboard to #digitallabor replacements. Does what you know belong to you, or your employer?
