Reading Time: 2 min The amount of content generated on the internet every day is staggering. Using YouTube as example, you’d need over 11,000 computers all streaming YouTube channels just to keep up with the new content being added in real-time, and that wouldn’t touch the billions of videos already uploaded. It’s crazy! Despite that, it seems that AI […]

Yes, AI will take some jobs
Reading Time: < 1 min It’s a foregone conclusion that AI is going to replace some jobs in the coming years. I can’t say whether it’s be a small or large number, and no one knows for sure, but it’s clear that at least some jobs will be replaced by AI. This sounds like a bad thing, but is it? […]
AI won’t take over this blog
Reading Time: < 1 min While AI is already writing a ton of the content that you come across on the internet, that won’t ever be the case on here. That’s not because AI isn’t good enough or useful, but it goes against what I’m trying to accomplish. Recently, Blair Enns shared the following on Twitter: AI is only eating […]
AI will lead to more synchronous communication
Reading Time: 2 min I’m a big of of asynchronous communication, where two people can talk to each other at different times, like via email where one party can respond to the other two hours later. It’s why many people, particularly younger ones, dislike phone calls. Phone calls demand your attention immediately, rather than giving a buffer like with […]
AI on a blog
Reading Time: 3 min One of the areas of AI that I’ve very interested in is using it to comb through my own information. I’ve used it a bit with my Obsidian notes, and more tools like that are coming out all the time. While I’m using that for personal use, what if I could give you access to […]
Don’t freak out about AI just yet
Reading Time: 3 min I’ve shared a few times on here some concerns I have with AI. There are good things coming, but probably some bad things too. You’d be wise to spend time with AI tools and start learning how they work, but it’s not time to freak out over it yet. Napster Back in 1999, the record […]
My 486 wasn’t powerful enough, and neither is AI
Reading Time: 3 min Back in the mid-90’s, I worked for a few years at Electronics Boutique, a software and video game store. It was great! It was a fascinating time in the world of video games, going from systems like the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, through failures like the 3DO and Virtual Boy, into the next generation […]
As automation speeds up, relationships will reign
Reading Time: 2 min I recently shared a glimpse into the “bad side of AI“, where I’m starting to get some automated comments on social media and it’s likely to get much worse. The side I fear a bit more is the coming glut of AI-personalized email spam, at huge scale. Microsoft has unveiled Viva Sales and Salesforce announced […]
Generative AI is better for input than for output
Reading Time: < 1 min AI is all the rage these days, particularly “generative AI”, or AI that can create new content. This could be new text output, new images, or even new videos. The power is amazing, but I see two very different sides to it. Input I love the thought of how IA can help with input. I […]
The bad side of AI
Reading Time: 2 min We all knew it was coming, and the first taste of it is here — people using AI in social media to try to reach more people more quickly. I recently shared a post that featured Gary Vaynerchuk and his thoughts on how to build a business for the future. On LinkedIn, this is a […]
