• AI took control of my life — and introduced me to my future cyborg self

  27-12-2021 17:00 via thenextweb.com
  
  Artificial intelligence has entered all our lives, but few people have embraced it as firmly as I. Over the past year, I’ve tried to embed AI into every aspect of my futile existence. I envisioned creating a cyborg in a real-life sci-fi story, in which I’d play the parts of both Frankenstein and his monster. And if that didn’t work out, surely the algorithms would be adequate replacements for my useless brain. Right? Friends, lovers, and nemeses: this was my year with AI. The

  This article is part of a series explaining how readers can learn the skills to take part in activities that academics love doing as part of their work. By far my favourite thing about my job as an astronomer is those rare moments when I get to see beautiful distant galaxies, whose light left them millions to billions of years ago. It’s a combination of pure awe and scientific curiosity that excites me about “galaxy hunting”. In astronomy today, much of our work is handling en

From remote work to the Zoom boom, the way we work, communicate with our colleagues and even search for new jobs has completely changed. Of course, Covid-19 has also spurred on ‘The Great Resignation.’ Over the last two years, many people have reevaluated their priorit

• Would Keynes have bought Bitcoin? — classic economics vs. crypto

  27-12-2021 13:55 via thenextweb.com
  
  John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was the greatest economist of the twentieth century. Less well known is that he had a parallel career as a successful investor: fairly successful early in his career, and spectacularly successful later on when he changed his strategy. After the first world war, his income depended more on his investments than his academic work. In addition to his personal investments, he managed the investments of King’s College, Cambridge, of which he was a member. Under h

  I love Twitter. While some people type out carefully curated tweets, most of us write what we want as if no one’s reading. But you know we’re really hoping that someone will read it. Bonus points if it makes us laugh, think or feel. Here’s a couple of my favorites overnight: pic.twitter.com/FOaayPuqDW — Unexplained Occurrences 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@TalesOfBeyond) December 14, 2021 Good morning to everyone except that old g

  Let’s say you’re a startup founder, who comes up with the next new idea in marketing, scaling, or strategic business development. If you are 100% sure that your randomly picked idea will work (maybe you’ve asked a fortune-teller or made a tarot spread), I won’t waste your time. But if you really need to sift diamonds from fakes and create a marketing campaign that will definitely work, here are my three favorite approaches to testing ideas that my team at Refocus.me uses
