This post doesn’t have a well-thought-out thesis statement. It’s just me acknowledging a reminder of success. If it were to have one I think it would be to not be afraid to use whatever skills you have. The fact that I don’t even remember making this comment goes to show how effortless it was to help. Yet, the 10 minutes out of my day to post it has helped countless people even if in the most mundane way imaginable. So if you see something that you have the talents to help out with and it’s not too much of a problem to do so, do it. You might be surprised what mark it makes on the world.

#AI-driven #cognitive #atrophy is recoverable. Cognitive #foreclosure may not be.

Posted March 22, 2026 | Reviewed by Devon Frye

Key points

– Adults who #offload #thinking to AI lose capacity they built. Children may never build it at all.
– When #students #process #information through the same model, the result may be similar minds.
– Auditing AI output requires expertise the #child is still supposed to be developing.
– In a study, #developers who delegated #coding to AI produced working #code but failed #conceptual #understanding.

Librarians Are Being Asked to Find AI-Hallucinated Books
▻https://www.404media.co/librarians-are-being-asked-to-find-ai-hallucinated-books

Reference #librarian Eddie Kristan said lenders at the library where he works have been asking him to find books that don’t exist without realizing they were #hallucinated by AI ever since the release of #GPT-3.5 in late 2022. But the problem escalated over the summer after fielding patron requests for the same fake book titles from real authors—the consequences of an AI-generated summer reading list circulated in special editions of the Chicago Sun-Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer earlier this year. At the time, the freelancer told 404 Media he used #AI to produce the list without #fact_checking outputs before #syndication.

(...)

Taylor and colleagues have found #RAG doesn’t really help improve the accuracy of AI-generated summaries through beta testing AI tools in library tech for companies like Clarivate, Elsevier and EBSCO

(...)

The problem with that in a university #library is we’re trying to teach those #skills but we have tools that negate that necessity. And because those tools don’t work well, you’ve not learned the skill and you’re still getting crap results, so you’re never going to get better results because you didn’t learn the skill.

Outtake from the video version of this article on YouTube.If you could have any super power, what would it be?Flying?Invisibility?Super strength?When I was younger my answer was always ‘I’d have the superpower to use any superpower.’ The equivalent of wishing for more wishes when a genie appears.Now if you asked me again, I’d tweak my answer.‘I’d have the superpower to learn anything.’Similar but not as much of a cop-out.But why bother having to learn something if you had the choice for any superpower, why not go straight to knowing everything?Because learning is the fun part. Knowing everything already would be a boring life. Have you ever seen how a 4-year-old walks into a park? Now compare that to a (...)

But How Do I Prepare For jobs That Don’t Exist Yet?!?

With so many articles being written about #future technologies and the new types of jobs they are likely to bring about, you may have found yourself pondering about how one may be able to get into such careers. After all, we tell ourselves, if someone needs to be first, why not me? And therein lies the issue : there isn’t really a path to jobs that don’t yet exist. There are no courses, no job descriptions, no current employee or HR representative one might question. We’re on our own, as we’ve so often been.In order to begin to overcome this dreadful state of affairs, below is a list of #skills one will need to polish to be able to “go get one of those jobs thing” (or even create the role, no one’s stopping you) once the algorithms have taken over.Technical abilitiesBetter get the obvious out of (...)

Soft skills can come the hard way

500,000 refugees in Germany are seeking employment.

Since 2015, more than 1 million refugees have entered Germany. Even though these refugees had proven their skills the hard way,
by escaping dangerous lands, only 4 had been employed by DAX-listed companies by 2016. Thus breaking their previous promises and commitments to this cause.

Deliberate Learning

▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPj-23z-hQA

Some programmers look at programming as more than their day job. They want to deepen their understanding, develop #skills and learn #techniques that will make them better programmers. Many invest their time outside of work or college in coding #dojos practising “code #katas” where they learn to fluently #solve a Tower of Hanoi problem in Ruby or a Harry Potter book store problem in Python. I admire their dedication but I’m not convinced this is the best #approach to making anyone a better programmer.

The metaphor of dojos and katas for improving programming skills is misleading. #Learning martial arts - and musical scales for that matter - is about deliberate practise whereas programming skills are developed through deliberate learning . In the former, you aspire to flawlessly reproduce a given sequence of moves or perform a piece of music. You want to perform the perfect ippon seo nage or play Rachmaninoff’s 3rd Symphony without a single error. Deliberate learning on the other hand is about developing #discovery and problem-solving skills in unfamiliar contexts .

In this talk Dan argues the case for deliberate learning with some techniques for improving your programming, and explains why Foo Café is such an important idea.

Dan North uses his deep technical and organisational knowledge to help CIOs, business and software teams to deliver quickly and successfully. He puts people first and finds simple, pragmatic solutions to business and technical problems, often using lean and agile techniques. He believes most technology #problems are really about #communication and #feedback, which explains his interest in organisational #design, systems #thinking and how people learn.
