In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.
Mon, August 12: The evolution of websites
“Websites won’t go away, but they will need to evolve. When humans visit websites, the content could be AI-generated and personalized to the individual user. The era of thousands of web pages is no longer needed.”
Tue, August 13: Reducing attachment
“Attachment. That’s what keeps us from recognizing when our opinions are off the mark and rethinking them. To unlock the joy of being wrong, we need to detach. I’ve learned that two kinds of detachment are especially useful: detaching your present from your past and detaching your opinions from your identity.”
Wed, August 14: Using RSS to sniff out AI
I’ve been using RSS for a few decades, though I’ve eased off a bit from my crazy days in the past. What’s interesting now is that it’s really easy to notice when a site stops posting human-generated content and just lets AI spit it out. I’ve seen this happen in a few ways.
Thu, August 15: They all love to read
I recently decided to dig in to understand the reading habits of some of the most successful people in recent decades, and quickly found one common thread: they all love to read. All of them. I have no doubt that there are exceptions, but my initial digging didn’t find any.
Fri, August 16: Power poses actually generate power
Cuddy’s research paper, “Power Posing: Brief Nonverbal Displays Affect Neuroendocrine Levels and Risk Tolerance,” published in 2010 by the Association for Psychological Science, showed that various power poses increased testosterone levels by 20 percent and decreased cortisol levels by 25 percent.
Sat, August 17: Bad days are better measures than good ones
“What you do on your bad days matters more than what you do on your good days.”
I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
