This week we are leaning into multiple metaphors: AI as a mirror, UX design as a window or room, and life as information. Plus: read about Michael Levin's upcoming presentation at the Imagining Summit, Helen's Book of the Week, and our upcoming events.
It’s easy to fall prey to the design illusion that because LLMs look sleek, they must be well-designed. But aesthetics alone do not equal design. As Steve Jobs once said, “Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works.”
It’s curious that these two papers, tackling such similar ideas, came out at the same time. Is this coincidence, or does it tell us something about where the study of life and intelligence is heading?
An interview with Enaible Founder & CEO Tommy Weir about the company's AI productivity platform (https://www.enaible.io). Learn about how Enaible "empowers employees, teams, and executives with real-time productivity awareness and actionable recommendations to unleash the potential for optimization and growth."
We are particularly interested in Enaible's focus on productivity of the system of people, not just an individual person. We are also impressed by Enaible's focus on identifying and understanding exceptions, not just assuming that all tasks are the same.
