But when most people set out to craft a presentation or pitch, they start with three common questions. How can I explain this? How can I clarify this? How can I help people understand this? These questions are useful for sharing data, but not for storytelling. The true power of storytelling lies in sparking curiosity, not merely providing... See more
Writing fiction often contains an element of self-hypnosis, of flying in the dark.

Steve Jobs escreveu, depois de deixar a Apple, que "o peso de ser bem-sucedido foi substituído pela leveza de ser novamente um iniciante, menos certo sobre todas as coisas". Em seguida, desfrutou de um período intensamente criativo.
Put simply: to highlight the importance of storytelling in work, in life, in all things.A business without a clear story resembles a car without an engine. No matter how much you kick, scream, or turn its crankshaft over, it won’t go anywhere. It’s no more than a dead vehicle sitting (or a dead company walking, for that matter).Like near all things...

A couple months ago, Oxford and Cambridge researchers illustrated the risk of homogeneity in a study of AI Generated content in Nature magazine. The risk increases as AI gets trained not only on human-created content, but on other AI-generated content.

IAs generativas são ótimas para tirar dúvidas triviais, algo que se tornou inviável no Google, onde crescemos fazendo esse tipo de pesquisa, pelos incentivos do próprio Google para a infestação de sites de baixa qualidade — o proverbial tiro no próprio pé.

AI chronicles and enshittification
As inteligências artificiais se mostram alternativas melhores aos sites de busca como o Google, porque este tem levado cada vez mais a conteúdo duvidoso e de baixa qualidade. Mas com os modelos de linguagem se alimentando destes mesmos sites de gosto e veracidade duvidosos, não será apenas questão de tempo até que os resultados de IA também sejam vítimas de enshitification?
