Technology changes exponentially. Guess what that means?


📊 AI synthesizes information faster than you can learn it.

Hello Reader,

Have you heard of Martec's Law? It's a comparison of rates of change. Organisations change slowly, and technology changes exponentially. This creates a capability gap, which eventually requires a reset of the organisation.

💡 What does exponential change mean?

We can't keep up by using simple systems. We have to use exponential systems to get ahead.

In the age of Generative AI, it's more important that we focus our attention intentionally.

AI summarizes information faster than you can learn it. The velocity of learning is no longer limited by your access to knowledge, or a teacher, or a library. An AI-powered human can learn exponentially.

The World Bank funded a randomised evaluation in a Nigerian after-school program, and were able to quantify the benefit for students using AI-assisted learning.

Using a robust monitoring system, the randomised evaluation found that the biggest gains were seen in girls who were already behind. There was a clear dose response - which means the more sessions a student attended, the more dramatic their scholastic gains.


🤖 You can learn faster with bots.

90% of college students say that using Generative AI is more effective than tutoring.

Two centuries ago, if you wanted to learn about a topic, you had to find a library that had the books containing the information you wanted. It was a long time before lending libraries made it possible to take books home to study at your leisure.

Some people had their own libraries, but they were still reliant on the physical presence of books or teachers for knowledge transfer.

Mere decades ago, digital ebooks enabled information to no longer be scarce. And now, a human isn't required to consume and synthesize information in order to learn it.


🔍 So what is a human good for?

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." — Alvin Toffler Hello Reader, We are living through a revolution of intelligence, from human to artificial. The illiterate of the 21st century will be those humans stuck in the 20th century's methods of working. Those of us preparing for the future of work are unlearning, and relearning, how we work, through our relationship with AI. Professionals who take the...

Hello Reader, Robots can now out-human humans. In a recent study, more than 1000 people at UC San Diego took part in a classic Turing test with four GenAI models. GPT-4.5 was selected as the real human 73% of the time, according to this preprint study released last week. This marks a significant milestone in AI development. The Turing Test was proposed in 1950 by Alan Turing as a method to determine if a machine could exhibit behaviour as intelligent as a human. His paper 'Computing Machinery...
