Really excellent piece!

"This is where my understanding of literacy has fundamentally shifted. I used to believe, as I was taught, that literacy was primarily about decoding text. But watching how people actually learn and think has convinced me that literacy is about something deeper: the capacity to construct and navigate environments where understanding becomes possible."

전쟁·주가 폭락 등을 보며 인간의 attention(주의력)에 한계가 있음을 깨달았고, 과거엔 기억력·단순 계산에서 컴퓨터에 밀렸지만 트랜스포머 이후에는 attention 기반 경쟁도 어려워진다는 관찰. AI가 더 풍부한 컨텍스트에서 초고속으로 판단할 수 있게 되면 세상이 어떻게 바뀔지 상상하며 다음 세대를 위한 궤도수정을 고민한다는 내용의 통찰적 코멘트입니다.

What do attention, affordance, salience, and valence have to do with meaning, and what is the architecture of encounter?

Is it #weird I don't like the #fact that I turned 30 a couple years back?

Does anyone have #midlife #crisis #points in their lives anymore?

I still don't #feel I'm over 25.

I #think #age is just a number but the more I'm #forced to prove I'm over 18, the less I feel like I am #confident with the age #bracket I fit into.

And it's not because I would get #specialized #attention or because I don't. But because, I don't want to #remember looking back and #appreciating the #future that feels more #distant than ever now. Especially when considering that I didn't know back then I would have come to #exist as me today.

I #hate #government #reminding me how untrustworthy it thinks I am because of its #algorithmic priorities that are so far above and beyond mine, that it's laughable, totally absurd and absolutely #real sad to say.

I miss my 20 something #self really bad.
