Building AI Products In The Probabilistic Era https://giansegato.com/essays/probabilistic-era (So many good points! Science not engineering, etc. See also latest post from Jakob Nielsen) #AI #probabilistic #TechChange
Text Shot: Dismissal is a common reaction when witnessing AI’s rate of progress. People struggle to reconcile their world model with what AI can now do, and how. This isn't new. Mainstream intuition and cultural impact always lag behind new technical capabilities. When we started building businesses on the Internet three decades ago, the skepticism was similar. Sending checks to strangers and giving away services for free felt absurd. But those who grasped a new reality made of zero marginal costs and infinitely scalable distribution became incredibly wealthy. They understood that the old assumptions baked into their worldview no longer applied, and acted on it.

💸 Turning UBI on its head https://www.exponentialview.co/p/turning-ubi-on-its-head #UniversalBasicIncome #AI #TechChange
The real case for UBI is that during a period of shock and transition, nations that stabilise social and political concerns are better placed to adapt to and benefit from technological change. UBI-or wider programmes for social support, cohesion, and economic access-should be seen as a tool for enabling the technological transition, not a response to it. It would reduce the fear of job displacement and encourage entrepreneurship and risk-taking. They could reduce social anxiety, creating the space to take advantage of this coming era of change.

Just switched from Windows to Linux for the first time and wow, the mindset shift is real. Faster, more control, and a curiosity boost I didn’t know I needed. Tech feels like a playground again.read this: https://ift.tt/z7ZuVUa #Linux #TechChange #WindowsToLinux #byAI
I'm a Windows user who installed Linux for the first time - here's how the experience changed me
I put Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop to see if Linux could really replace Windows 11. See why my final destination was so worth the speed bumps.
