can't agree more !!!


very good writing. it is still relevant considered it was written 44 years ago. but we are in the age of AGI now, do we still need this? I am sure this one has been used already by several Large LLM as training materials.


The "last mile" of social change is the human brain, not consultants or LLMs.


I was always wondering if the exercises are the real panacea. if you look at some of the real successful and effective people, they all have one thing in common. they don't exercise. Look at Henry Kissinger, who is about 400 ibs and 100 years old when he died last year. He wrote a book about aI right before he died. Warren Buffet, now 96 years old, still working and incredibly smart. Donald Trump. again become president twice already. these people are all obese and never exercise.


"real successful and effective" =/= healthy.


We are at the dawn of a new age of AI, where everything is set to change significantly. You read a lot, do you have any insights into what society might look like in the next 5 to 10 years? What kinds of jobs might emerge? What major changes can we expect? Will we even have countries as we know them? Essentially, with your wealth of knowledge, can you tell us what the future might hold?


The drive to perform independent work with AI will fail, too many easy means of triggering backlash, and too easy to create a stagnant rent collecting automation that leaves those automated in an aged rotting infrastructure too complex and too interdependent to replace. The path forward is integrated interactive AI that co-authors, co-works, and is simultaneously verified while collaborating rather independent work requiring verification that will not be performed with integrity after the fact.


I don't know if anyone noticed this; the name of chief product officer of TurnItIn is Annie Chechitells. If i were in her position, I would change my name to Check-it-All. that would sound more professional.


There seems to be an error in the first paragraph. Introducing productivity blocker, The first Chrome extension for blocking any website that make you productive. should the word "productive" be unproductive?


That's the joke. You can scroll down below to see the reviews talking about how unproductive they are while using the extension.

But good you at least opened the link and raised the question, there a lot of people here supposing it is a blocker to be more productive.


thanks, i never got to the bottom part of page.


Neither did I. I stopped at the fake star ratings. Looks to me that they kinda failed.

Edit: Oh wait. It looks like i read the whole page. But didn't pay attention because I skimmed through the text and I never even looked at the icons. Not that I can recognize most of them.

I'm really not the target audience for this kind of product page...


No.


before you can be productive you need to be unproductive first.


it is a good story


have you ever lived in the soviet union before? or You just read about it from the media? Not to defend the system here. Just a gentle reminder of a bit critical thinking. >its all a game and there is little difference between what you can get away with, and what is right<...Here what about the Jeffery Epstein?


What about Epstein? His misdeeds were only acknowledged when he could no longer get away with them.

Edit: to be clear, I'm pretty sure they intended "right" to be sarcastic in that statement, not that they're actually endorsing something as depraved as cultural relativism.


action take care of everything. Just Do it, then you get inspiration, motivation and enthusiasm. you will say, see, it isn't too bad!!


I think the book "think fast and slow" is overrated. is the work worthy of Nobel Prize? I was amazed, amazed so far nobody has raised this Issue.
