#ToolsForThought

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Trying to decide: Obsidian.md or Logseq — which one is the ultimate tool for knowledge management and note-taking?

Both have their strengths, but I’m curious:
Which do you use and why?
Pros, cons, hidden features — let’s discuss!

I wrote recently about #AI for IA (intelligence augmentation) and it looks like Stanford is paying attention. ;-)

"We encourage the university to view goals in this space in line with the philosophy of Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) to make sure that the use of AI is centered on improving the human condition. Thus, we prefer to focus on “augmenting human capabilities” versus “replacing humans.”"

I thought Brexit was a pretty dunderheaded self-own, but what's going on in the US is just orders of magnitude more stupid.

I've always thought that computers (#PersonalComputing, #ToolsForThought) should enable us to think better, to cooperate better, to communicate better. Instead the evidence seems to be that networking them together was a Bad Idea and has made us collectively more stupid than ever in human history. Or perhaps we were always that stupid, only now we have a light on it.

- 12 problems
- Progressive Summarization
- Archipelago of Ideas
- Hemingway Bridge
