Big Announcement: Starting next week, #DigiBlogChat is moving back to X/Twitter!

AH ... OK!! #DigiBlogChat

A7 #DigiBlogChat Folders for apps (presumably on a phone) work well in some ways. But, as with files, messages, etc, things belong to multiple categories. On my computer, the apps are all in one place.

A6 #DigiBlogChat Not overwhelming, but probably (in general) relating the logical structure (topics, date, etc.) to the physical structure (location, naming, type, etc.).

A4 #DigiBlogChat I don't take many, but they're in the Apple Photos app and iCloud. 🤷‍♂️

A7 #DigiBlogChat The LLMs just produce (mostly) coherent words and sentences. The risk is that, because it refers to relevant topics and appears to be coherent, that some people believe it. But that's not different from people spewing nonsense.

Q6 #DigiBlogChat People forget that current AI systems are **language** models!! They manipulate text!! AI systems of the 1980s would not be making these kinds of nonsensical mistakes/hallucinations/confabulations ... they were "expert systems" operating on rules specified by subject domain experts.

A4 #DigiBlogChat Showing how far behind the (b)leeding edge I am, I haven't heard of any of those (except for Zapier itself). I'm applying AI to software development, but even there, unlike others, I can't not look at the code!

A3 #DigiBlogChat Pretty much anything involving text (after all they're Large *Language* Models): so reading and writing of textual messages, including programming language source code. When applied to anything else they are just blunderbusses

A2 #DigiBlogChat Only a little, for software development. But I don't trust it enough (yet). People I know have them running all the time (some on local machines for which they pay no fees to the AI companies).

A1 #DigiBlogChat I expect that we're all at different stages of understanding this fast moving field. But, as I understand it, they're both generative and the difference relates to whether it waits for a prompt before acting.

After ten years on @Twitter aka @X, and two years on @Bluesky.app we are so grateful to have connected with all of you over this period. #DigiBlogChat Image: LazBlazter

🤣 Well, it's slippery stuff! #DigiBlogChat

Joining #DigiBlogChat pre-recorded from Maryland to talk with Carol Stephen and LazBlazter about Agentic AI, which sounds like a soap additive. Maybe a podcast would clarify, in which case tune into yesterday's article.

I think that BlueSky is struggling again! Good night all at #DigiBlogChat

Despite the unreliability of Bluesky today, we trended anyway! #DigiBlogChat

Maybe we can go on a bit longer ... after all, does Larry need to go to work tomorrow?! 🤷‍♂️#DigiBlogChat

I'm only seeing my own messages at the moment and am unable to search/explore for #DigiBlogChat. @carolstephen.bsky.social, @lazblazter.bsky.social

If BlueSky /bsky.app was playing up, I was wondering where to go to message each other about #DigiBlogChat! Is it wrong that I thought of Twitter *or whatever it's called now)?

Hello #DigiBlogChat

Thanks to everyone for your enthusiasm and contributions! Remember–if you want to discuss a topic let us know! #DigiBlogChat

Huge topic on #DigiBlogChat next week! I spend far more time watching podcasts (I know that many people only listen to the audio, but videos are so much more informative) than I do on conventionsal news reports.

#DigiBlogChat Maybe some content is not useful on social media?! 🤣

A8 #DigiBlogChat Political issues can be tricky!

It's the halfway point and time for a quick stretch! #DigiBlogChat

@carolstephen.bsky.social This was Larry’s post. #DigiBlogChat

Goodnight, Dragons! You are awesome, as always! #DigiBlogChat

I think that you guys are trying to rope me into one!! #DigiBlogChat

Thanks to everyone for your enthusiasm and contributions! Remember–if you want to discuss a topic let us know! #DigiBlogChat

A8 #DigiBlogChat Maybe that it's about output not input! 🤦‍♂️

Between questions, we’d like to announce our next topic: Social Media for Social Good! #DigiBlogChat

I see that I might have been too diligent in procuring my half-time beverage, and missed a couple of #DigiBlogChat questions!

A6 #DigiBlogChat Nope! Next ...

A4 #DigiBlogChat Definitely! And it depends on one's perspective. Personal-level strategy, tactics, and operations are important. But are unlikely to be effective without the necessary infrastructure. E.g. from a UK perspective: watch, listen, and learn from: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h77C...

A3 #DigiBlogChat Sorry to be a bore, but: #GTD has answered many/most/all? of these questions in ways which would take longer (although not necessarily as long as his wordy book!) to desciribe than we have space for here.

A2 #DigiBlogChat Nope! While this question is very personal (bottom-up), there's an important top-down (or maybe it's the other way around) way of looking at this: micro-economic / macro-economic, tactical / strategic.

🤣 Some belief/hope! 🤣 #DigiBlogChat

A1 #DigiBlogChat Without claiming any proficiency or effectiveness in implementation, EASY: #GTD thinking and the Things app!

Hello, #DigiBlogChat! JWL here, organizational innovation guy, based in the unseasonably warm SW UK.

Thanks to everyone and especially to @lazblazter.bsky.social for the topic and questions today! And to all for your enthusiasm and contributions! Remember–if you want to discuss a topic let us know. #DigiBlogChat
