The happy new year is here. I was conversing offline with individuals about courses a little ways back in time. And, if it’s any solace to anyone online deathly afraid of the future, keep reading?
On courses and generative tooling (click to expand)
I personally don’t think a $1000+ dollar course is crucial for learning
how to use generative intelligence for writing, art, or programming. I’ve had
generative/agent tooling for a long while and it’s as self accessible as it gets.
My programming inertia for personal projects is high, but so far my main usage has been occasionally testing incredible claims. In the last tech revolution (not the metaverse), there were many courses on non-fungible tokens. Don’t ask how I know about those tokens.
Fun fact: Many seemingly think that I’ve used generative models to build this inert static site (hoho). How would you know the difference? And can you fully trust it?

The end of the year is around the corner. There are varied spins on “speak of the devil”. I was shown a really neat one some time ago;
“Talk of an angel and you hear his wings.”

There’s a fun and purposively perplexing novel called “His Master’s Voice”. Inside, it invents the term circular irony.

Fuzzy search is spooktastic. I’m sometimes asked, but I know nothing of generally. I don’t read much tech news these days, but I do speed-read headlines and peek in occasionally.
