This is a sharp implier to how less often we have a memorable , non transactional, meaningful written exchanges over email
That we literally need an assistant to remind us about and how ill thought out our networking is and our positioning in that , in attempts to establish our existence there.
- How many things we forgot to do , which we never wanted to do but have to anyway
- Cold call status update
- Negotiations/ evaluations for time
- lack of openness for critical thing
- The helplessness in face of #spam shameless #marketing noise and #ads
#communication
Another decline the quality of #writing itself
The #junkfood of writing aka #socialmedia is worse than #pulpfiction of #yellowjournalism

#reading with comprehension , is that even happening in masses ? with people over-consuming the information in attempts of commoditization of their " knowledge " thanks to commoditisation of #edication

"I’ve been following the news coverage of Lawrence High School. Just imagine you’re a student at Lawrence High (go Chesty the Lion!) and every homework assignment, email, photo, and chat on your school-supplied device is being monitored by artificial intelligence for indicators of drug and alcohol use, anti-social behavior, and suicidal inclinations.

If a word or an image triggers an alert in the AI software, the result could range from the student being sent to an administrator to being referred to online counseling to getting a visit from local police."

Overheard: “compensate is a big word.”
Stay in school, kids. No wonder the country is going into a sewer.
