Learning random facts from random people, I mean, that's one of the great things about the internet, right?

Three things I learned this week 🌱 - Finest Day
Or that I thought about again. Or that I think are wondrous. Anyway, I wanted to share them with you here. • The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis • The concept of affordance...

Put your name on your work and find like-minded people to share credit with. It is now on you to build not your brand, but the demonstration that you know what's going on.
It is going to be very hard to get a job by printing a list of skills at the top of your resume and hoping to get noticed. It already was and now it's worse than ever.
Be a person on the internet and by that I mean do not hide your person-hood. Your curiosity, your learning, your willingness to consider angles. Professional polish is something the clankers do better than us, because they are trained on all of us doing it.
If not putting your name on your learning, put a stable pseudonym out there. Be known by the work you do and even the mistakes you make and reconsider. Showing that your knowledge has _depth_ is now one of the most important things. We can all vibe up to a basic understanding. It's the people who can see where they went wrong, and course-correct that really are going to carry the day.
You no longer get to be perfect and only show what's finished and polished. And you're gonna have to show your work.

My dad, brother, mom, and me at the US bicentennial. I vaguely remember this was some celebration at Valley Forge National Park in PA. We were living in NJ at the time, so we're posed in front of the NJ wagon.
As a kid who was not allowed to have internet, I didn't know much about the world back then. but I'm quite sure the world is a better place today, despite all the fuckery going on right now.
I mean, we were breathing leaded gasoline, among other things.

The internet (I was using it before the advent of the web) was inherently useful.
While a there’s plenty of interesting things “AI”* can do, most of it isn’t actually useful and it can’t do the things I want.

some dope earlier this week tried to gaslight people by saying the pushback on AI mirrors the pushback when the internet went mainstream and no it fucking does not! people were excited about the internet! ffs it wasn’t 100 years ago, a lot of us were THERE
