Dad of two and a husband of one. Very much into design, psychology and writing. Aging backwards in my mind, where everything is intertwined.

But there’s a paradox at the heart of design that’s rarely discussed: the discipline that most profoundly determines how lasting and inspiring a work of design can be is a designer’s ability to look away — not just from their own work, but from other solutions, other possibilities, other designers’ takes on similar problems.

The effects of over-reliance on AI dialogue systems on students' cognitive abilities: a systematic review - Smart Learning Environments

This over-reliance often occurs without verifying the validity and authenticity of the provided data, especially when such information lacks proper references.”
Cognitive offloading is what will make us care (even) less about work
AI can be a cunning manipulator
AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence.
Emphasizing the collectivity (something built on the commons) over the artificiality (a feat of technology) gives us an entire new way to see, perceive and relate to the technology.
