Let me try to formalize some thoughts about Gen AI adoption that I have had, which I will call "The Bedazzlement Curve".
Most people underestimate how useful Gen AI would be if they tried to find use cases and overestimate issues - they're in "The Valley of Stochastic Parrots"

Until models can write perfect prompts under the hood we’re not getting mainstream ai adoption
Most people don’t know or care how to write “good prompts”
After 1-2 attempts they’ll usually leave
Better to think of prompting as a power user feature and build around that

I joined Udemy, then got fired and spent 1 year putzing about, 4 years in foodtech getting my ass handed to me, 2 years doing absolutely nothing work-related, then 1 year as a creator.
Then finally re-emerged and am now working on Maven.
This shit ain't a straight line.

Same with schools. If you're losing more than half your students each year, there's a problem with the school.

Equitable access to opportunity is out of reach for the many Americans suffering the effects of two major crises: the global pandemic and systemic racism. Today's verdicts are a step toward affirming that #BlackLivesMatter. George Floyd’s life mattered. zcu.io/MJ9H

Charles and @Shaq agree: we can all help end this pandemic by getting the COVID-19 vaccine. It's the only way to keep everyone safe and help us get back to all the things we miss most—from seeing family and friends to watching sports in person.

Lot of senseless gatekeeping in tech so I figured I’d offer my data points. I’m a software engineer even though:
- I don’t have a CS degree
- I use my mouse when I code
- I choose my text editor based on available color schemes
- I have never used the word “datum”

The Paycheck Fairness Act, which aims to close loopholes used by employers to pay women less than men for doing the same work, just passed the House 217-210.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick was the only Republican to support the legislation.
