jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...
jer979Value. Happiness.
I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

jer979The Curious Mind: Utilizing AI for Maximum Advantage
www.twitter.com/jer979
Tl;dr: AI is changing the way we think and write, but it's up to us to embrace it or not. We can gain a lot if we choose to use it well.
Like many people, I’ve been playing around with ChatGPT and a number of other new AI tools.
They are clearly game changers, but it remains to be seen how the game will be changed.
My CEO observed the other day that, “we’re now moving to an era where it’s not about knowing the answer or finding the answer, but can you ask the AI the best and right questions?”
The competitive advantage for the next area is the curious mind.
Can you look at something from multiple angles?
Can you explore how to pull back layers of meaning?
Can you dig into the depths?
As someone pointed out on Twitter, “we may be dumber because of GPS has removed the need for mastering maps, but we’re all probably better off.”
Writing is going to change-it already is changing. It’s easy to bemoan what will be lost.
But the AI is here. Embrace it or not at your own peril. Less obvious is what will be gained.
Summarized for 2nd grader
AI tools are helping us think differently and ask better questions. We need to be curious, explore the world and think about things from multiple angles to get the best out of AI.
