I think the title of my next newsletter is going to be "A Reminder That Nobody Knows Anything." And I don't mean that in a nihilistic way.

We are all beginners again.

I've noticed that most of the "AI commentary" is focused on the tools and what they can do.

But what we're not doing enough of is looking beyond that, to the second and third order impacts. It's certainly going to change how we work and think about work. We're drifting out of the known into a great unknown, and how we come out of that will depend on whether we're heads-up and looking around us or heads-down arguing whether chatGPT or Claude is better.

I like that it’s short and authentic. It’s easy to say it isn’t conscious. How could it be? After all, it’s just discrete ones and zeros.

This is a wonderful piece packed with thoughtful insights. The world is moving faster than we are able to comprehend. These AI tools are more powerful than anything we have been gifted before. How do we cope? What should we do? We simply can't process all that we want. It's a failing of human's context management capabilities.
