"If you are feeling overwhelmed by the speed of change, join the global club!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

To work at the leading edge of AI today is to work with a world that is moving at an astonishing speed. All around you. It's a world of fast-moving developments. To name just a few:

At the end of January, a new ‘agentic AI’ platform, now known as OpenClaw, was released to the world by a software developer. Use and adoption exploded overnight as the global tech community installed, explored, and began working with it (I’ve yet to jump in). Just yesterday, Nvidia announced a corporate enterprise version of the concept known as NemoClaw, which addresses many of the security and other concerns of the original software. We've never seen software that has gone from the release of a concept to a scalable, corporate enterprise version at such a speed.

That’s but one aspect of fast-moving change. The very concept of how we use AI is changing. In the last few weeks, Claude Copilot and Claude Cowork have taken the world by storm. I’ve spent the last few weeks working with the latter, using it to fix x up some aspects of my home automation system, help with editing my latest book, exploring issues related to my spinal injury, and managing a little biographical project I’ve been working on. The change with what this software brings is profound — I no longer ask an AI a question, I instruct the AI what work I want it to do.

Other new platforms are emerging all around us. Today’s image was generated by using a new feature on a presentation AI I use, gamma.app. I simply instructed it with the type of image I wanted and the words I wanted to use, and I quickly had 3 options to choose from. (I chose one, flipped it into Canva, and placed a photo on top.) Hours later, Google announced Stitch By Google, which, by all indications, should do the same type of thing.

To understand AI, you’ve not only got to understand how quickly it is moving, but what exactly IS moving.

And to understand AI, you’ve got to commit to being overwhelmed by the speed and breadth of what is occurring all around you.

Sometime last year, I observed that watching AI is like watching the emergence of the Internet in the 90’s. And right now, it’s like we are in our Netscape moment. When that software appeared, people around the world realized that the nature of the Internet had changed forever, and that the world was, at that moment, a world of unprecedented opportunity.

We’re at the Netscape moment right now.

Futurist Jim Carroll lived through the 'Netscape' moment in the 90s and was astonished by the creative energy it unleashed around the world. This new moment is even bigger.

Nach der Tagesmitte und immer noch eisig. Wacholderzweige kratzen auf den Armen. Gelegentlich ziehen Wolken über die Hügel, aber heute bleiben sie nicht lang. In Bewegung sein. Dem eigenen Atem nachblicken. Versuchen, die eigenen Filter zu entlasten in Momenten, in denen das sehr schwer fällt.

A quotation from Euripides

HELEN: When a man broods on a single misfortune and feels the gods are against him, though his suffering is real, it can be borne; but I am crushed by innumerable blows at once.
 
[ἙΛΈΝΗ: ὅστις μὲν οὖν ἐς μίαν ἀποβλέπων τύχην
   πρὸς θεῶν κακοῦται, βαρὺ μέν, οἰστέον δ᾽ ὅμως:
   ἡμεῖς δὲ πολλαῖς συμφοραῖς ἐγκείμεθα.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 267ff (412 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1954)]

> “completely disengaged and lazy can rock up to the voting booth, get registered there and then, and then vote to tax other people’s money away”. <
Just because they're either:
#lazy
#disengaged
#busy
#overwhelmed
#tired
#exhausted
#unaware
#lacking #transport
we are going to take away their democratic right to vote.
If you think late enrollment taxes other people's money away, maybe the problem is not those mentioned above's problem, but a YOU problem?

In the last few months, I have felt #overwhelmed, #overworked, #anxious, behind and planless. But, couple of days ago I stopped drinking big mugs of #blacktea daily. I think I am doing better. More sleepy during the day, sure. Bursty work efficiency, deep work and flow, but that's as usual. Quick googling suggests there isn't a link between #caffeine and #anxiety though, so may be #confirmationbias. #astrodon #postdoclife #publishandperish

So fed up of stupid questions/remarks and trying to hug me, while laughing and asking if she’s upset me.

#FedUp #Overwhelmed #TouchedOut #Overstimulated #Autistic #ADHD #AuDHD

It goes without saying that part of friend's challenges are #anxiety and being easily #overwhelmed by choices, obligations etc. etc. the resulting #inaction leading to #crushing #depression. Likely he has #ADHD as well which is *not* helping.

Im looking for "short list of OHIP covered mental health professionals in the #GTA who don't have seven year waitlists". Any hints, tips?
(I know, chances slim, but thougth I'd ask here anyway)

I’m a lukewarm mess. I’ve slipped into a #depression again. #Lethargic, #overwhelmed, low #selfesteem, anxious. Kickstarting my exercise and healthy eating routine to see if I can regain control.
