@mesterman @cpaterso @DonaldClark @dylanwiliam @largerama Haha yes from the user perspective!

@cpaterso @DonaldClark @dylanwiliam @mrdavidhoward @largerama Yep! Pretty incredible that it can happen without massive production time & resources (from a user perspective).

We're close to having all historical figures as avatars who you can talk to or teach what they knew... even have the personality and behavioural traits they had in real life... I give you... Nikola Tesla

@RoyPentland @AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu Yep my parents are but there is a difference. They have 10kW solar and no gas.

@mrdavidhoward @AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu You started the insults mate. You just called your own parents “boomers”. Explain to me where I don’t respect the environment.

Today's @TheNewDailyAu column: Australia must do what Esperance did, and get off gas heating and cooking. Emission reduction targets, including net zero by 2050, won't be met unless households are included in the project. thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2024/0…

@RoyPentland @AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu Please. My parents did. You didn’t. How about you respect the environment.

@mrdavidhoward @AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu Thanks for the compliment David. I am very proud to be a boomer. It separates me from ageist brats like you, who are incapable of respecting their elders. We boomers gave you the wonderful freedom & lifestyle you enjoy. We boomers worked for what we have.

@RoyPentland @AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu Ok boomer.

@AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu I don’t watch the ABC, because it is such an insincere group of lefty nutbags, so I don’t know who you are. Clearly I am lucky to not know you. I really don’t like liars, Alan. Gas is efficient, safe & staying. Here’s what you can do:

@AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu I’m with you Alan. We have disconnected gas from our house and loving it. Induction cooking is the way to go. People confuse it with the old ceramic. Who wants an open flame fire in their kitchen? Plenty of connection to childhood asthma too.

@RayNashar @cpaterso @emollick What this means for accessibility is pretty extraordinary.

@cpaterso @emollick @mrdavidhoward What blows my mind is that it can take multimodal inputs (image of the task, markups on the image, live video, text, and audio) and simultaneously process all of it whilst responding appropriately to abstract concepts. Our 5 senses are so limited in comparison. 🤯

There are a ton of little things that could be improved to make this a better tutor... but it is impossible to watch this video & not see a coming transformation in education, given this is GPT-4o out of the box. We need to decide how to integrate it into education, starting now

@RayNashar @cpaterso @emollick Interesting how it can process visual input but can’t generate it accurately…. Yet

@cpaterso @tomwhitby Interesting. The first is the easiest choice, the second can work but takes confidence to put into practice (I don’t agree with using instagram to communicate though)!

@HelenBevan With not to. Such an important difference. We were discussing this very thing this week @cpaterso @milicasavic07

I got invited to speak at the background brief for a new research report on the impact of new workplace technologies on the quality of life & wellbeing of the workforce. Results showed that: 1) digital information and communication technologies (laptops, tablets, smartphones and real-time messaging tools) correlated with improved quality of life 2) newer and more advanced technologies (wearables, robotics, AI and ML software) were correlated with reduced wellbeing. The findings emphasise the importance of the underpinning approach to change. There will be less impact on wellbeing if people feel that change is done with them, in a human-centred way, not to them. ifow.org/publications/w…. Via @FutureWorkInst. Research led by @magsoffia & @JSkordis

Of all the developments & announcements at CES 2024 it is the Helix from @pivotalaero1 that's gone straight to the top of my wishlist! Only 2 obstacles: you have to live in the U.S. & the $190,000 USD price tag. #innovation #aviation #CES2024 #CES pivotal.aero

@rowancheung @_jaiross

It's only been 1 day of CES 2024, and the tech developments have been incredible. The 10 most impressive reveals of CES 2024 so far: 1. The world's first transparent MICROLED screen by Samsung

@rowancheung @cpaterso holograms you say?

3. AI-powered Hologram by Holoconnects

We cannot be taken seriously as educators, let alone professionals, when we 1) use a product called "Magic School." 2) Get ourselves certified in it. 3) Believe in magic. This generative AI mania is Google Buzz. Or is it Google Wave? I can never remember.

@Optus compensation for the outage, boosted speeds that you have to apply to your own account every 24 hours. What percentage of customers will have remembered? What percentage will then go and apply it every 24 hours? @bengrubb @MarcFennell @AlanKohler
