Linked – No One Wants To Talk About These 3 Ways AI Copilots Will Reshape Learning
I’ve had an opportunity lately to play around with some AI tools, including Microsoft Copilot for 365, and I have to admit, when I have a question about how to do something, I ask Copilot. I ask Copilot because:
It’s right there while I’m working.
I don’t have to bring in another tool or trainer.
I don’t have to take a class or watch a YouTube video to learn a new skill. (Imagine a Copliot prompt like – “How would I do a VLOOKUP with this data using ID as the unique identifier?”)

Linked – People in 20s more likely to be out of work because of poor mental health than those in early 40s
When you’re young and not on the standard education/career path due to mental health, there’s no career history or learned skills to fall back on.

My story illustrates the path out of that, but it also contains some privilege. I was able to go to therapy. My family gave me a place to live while I wasn’t working. I had access to learning tools. I had to work hard to create opportunities to learn new skills, but I also found myself in places where I could do that. I had help.

Easy Prediction – AI Will Eat Most of the Ways We Get Our News
This should not surprise anyone. The ability of anyone to create an avalanche of content capable of overwhelming any algorithmic curation is here. It exists, and it is happening. It’s only going to get worse. Fake profiles sharing fake stories from AI-written content farms will eventually overwhelm the number of people online and make every network worthless. If you think there aren’t already thousands and thousands of these, you haven’t been paying attention. ChatGPT just made it easier to do.
The only thing we’ll be able to fall back on is trusting the people we know personally. Assuming we can tell the difference.
