I had a chuckle with this post. Why? I had thought of doing the same thing but then I thought I’d only find a set that goes up to 1990 or some such…. Forget the gas masks and Spam, and maybe try buying some encyclopedias to prepare for the AI-driven information apocalypse instead. — Read […]
AI & The Future of Humanity
This video is worrying. Harari talks about how AI can be a danger for humanity. To be honest, I’m fearful of the future. I’m not a fan of AI but I know that’ll it be part of our lives (and is) already. In the early 20th century when atomic energy was discovered, the Allied powers […]
A Worrying Future
It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of AI. Well, to be clear – it’s not the technology per se – it’s the lack of trust in the tech bros and people who will rush to use AI in everything for ultimate power, control or profit. So far, it seems much of the discussion […]
Survival of the Richest

Enjoying the Moment
I think the whole COVID saga has been some kind of blessing in my life. I don’t usually use words like “blessing” as it has some kind of religious connotations. I’m not religious by any stretch of the imagination however, I believe I am spiritual so I’ll go with the word….for now. An alternative word […]
Notes from a World Without Work
Here are my notes from Daniel Susskind’s A World Without Work: Technology, Automation and How We Should Respond. Introduction Introduces John Maynard Keynes term “technological unemployment” (link points to the data of this happening in Australia in coming years) as in what the progress had done to horses would eventually do to human beings to […]
Is Learning and Development Really Dying?
I’ve been reading many articles and blog posts that have an urgency about them regarding the impending death of Learning and Development function in corporate organisations. Admittedly when I read these, my heart races a little faster. I have this anxiety to catch up with the latest theories and tools in the field so that […]
