“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.”

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?

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: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/cognitive-debt-ai-offloading/

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.

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.

With Mozilla's #Pocket shutting down (articles are already unavailable, exports can be retrieved through 8 October 2025, see: https://web.archive.org/web/20250927204616/https://getpocket.com/home), I've exported the list of URLs I'd logged with the service.
One of my longstanding gripes was that there was no way for me to get a total of the articles I'd saved.
(There ... were other gripes.)
I now know: 30,735.
In an ideal world, this would have been a useful library of references. I'd tagged many of these (including, eventually, adopting a convention of tagging by archive date which Pocket surely must've known somewhere in its data schema, but petulantly hid from its users), through a loose but somewhat controlled vocabulary influenced in part by both my general interests and some familiarity with existing library ontologies, classifications, and subject headings.
I'm kicking around what to do with this archive. One question of course is how many of the links have since rotted (I suspect a high percentage). I've got a few leads on readability-rendering (including a bash script invoking JS ... somehow ... I've got to look at). Tracking down archived copies, and spinning up a media server, would also be handy.

Any friends (or potential friends :)) in #stockholm ? I'll be in Stockholm and have some availability to meet up. Interested in connecting in general as well as with folks in #search, #informationretrieval, #knowledgemanagement, #library sciences.
