Adam Wathan Remembering that, at least at work, you're not doing the other party any favors by being vague, soft, or obtuse. Radical candor nailed this with the concept of ruinous empathy. Being honest and direct is a gift to the other side.

when can I talk to my kindle and it knows everything inside every book I've read?

Who's done the best thinking/writing around what AI agents unlock in the future?

Students and staff learned to use Sudowrite today to gain ideas using AI for ways to take action for causes.l for our Exhibition. Thanks to CASIE and IB in APS for making this possible using what the IB Coordinator Garden Hills Elem learned at training!

Have a layover in Phoenix tomorrow and Ryan Johnson offered us his place to stay the night at Culdesac!

What's the easiest way to generate an audiobook from a web book?

I want to listen to this free book, but it's only available as a website or a print book. Would happily pay for an audiobook, but none is available: basecamp.com/shapeup

My HRV reliably shoots up after I'm with a group of friends. Does this happen to anyone else?

Early results from a publication that decided to accept AI-assisted fiction.

Awesome to see folks start to realize that AI is a tool for creativity, not a replacement for it.
