Build Something Ugly. Then Make It Beautiful.

Your first version will suck. That’s the rule. Stop aiming for perfect. Make it raw. Clumsy. Honest. Then iterate. That’s how beauty is built — not from polish, but from proof that you care. That you tried. And tried again.

I just had a toot where I said "iteration is king".
When I typed it, I typed "iteration is kink".
I'm not sure I was wrong, but I changed it.

"Experiment learn repeat. The only formula you need!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Wrap your head around the growth of knowledge - and what you need to enhance your knowledge to deal with its reality.

You should know that you don't know what you need to know.

You should know that you need to know it.

And then, set out to know it.

When you do so, know that you can only know if you get involved with it.

Get involved with it.

You'll probahttps://elk.zone/composebly fail.

But that's ok because you've learned about it,

So do it again.

Put this on repeat.

Compound what you know.

That's what you need to know. Warren Buffet said it best:

“Read 500 pages every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.”

Call it just-in-time knowledge on steroids.

Individuals using Artificial Intelligence to generate #design ideas perform well. But groups using #ParallelDesign methods—with or without AI—produce more of the top 10 ideas, writes NN/g (see link).

I recall 1990s studies that found machine-mediated sketching (using tablet, stylus or mouse) lowered #creativity compared to sketching by hand on paper.

How would a #group make their hand sketching available to their #AI #teammate …?

AI as a Creative Teammate

AI acts as a creative teammate in group settings as it does for solo work. Thoughtful facilitation ensures teams leverage AI effectively in workshops and critiques.
