Post [#01] Recalibrating through chaos
A while ago, when working on a project a few of our sensors started failing one by one and stopped transmitting data without any recognizable pattern. Days of panic. Our well-thought process suddenly went silent. The problem felt like a black box, without any error message or clear cause. We took the sensors outside and recalibrated them. They started working again.
Who do we want to be when AI makes intelligence a commodity? What do we want to be doing when it takes over 80% of white collar jobs? Where do we invest in when its development is faster than ours? and why do we keep using AI in our workflow, when somewhere in the back of our minds we know that we are training it every day to eventually do what we trained it for, or to fundamentally change how we do it.
I don't have answers but I do know that when systems stop transmitting data without explanation, the solution isn’t always s to dig deeper into the black box. Sometimes you need to take them outside and recalibrate.
My career began just as AI started to emerge. I remember, although quite fuzzy, we were having dinner with some friends in summer 2022, right after my graduation. One of them said he found something that you give it ingredients and will generate a recipe with you and can have a dialogue with you about it. None of us believed him. Fast forward to almost 4 years later, I am starting a chapter in my life to share my thoughts, and seize them on these intense days, stamped moments to maybe cherish in the future. It gives me the time and space to recalibrate and peel back layers of information hitting at unimaginable speed and think several steps ahead instead of immersing myself in chaos, even a beautiful one.
Today, audacious goals that felt out of reach before, are suddenly in a striking distance. Although I may be a bit late in joining this wave and a relative beginner in many ways, perhaps this is the perfect moment for me to put my head down and dive in in chapters that I never dared to explore.
More comes when it comes.
