Donald Norman said good technology should be invisible. Future of online learning is that it will be smart & that these smarts will disappear. That’s why I wrote ‘AI for Learning’ about how the invisible hand of AI will transform why, what & how we learn https://t.co/uscFJQQ8MX

Clear, evidence-based and similar to Nordhaus, who got Nobel Prize for saying roughly the same thing in 2018. A welcome call for realism...

We'll be feeling our way with consumer robots; mix of tele-operated/autonomous. That's sensible, as it build on user needs and establishes trust on privacy, functionality and safety limits.

There is the possibility that huge numbers of people in the Global South will be tele-supervising and tele-operating servant robots in the Global North, with a tiered business model; similar to cleaners, cooks, carers and butlers.

AI is not just about text, images and video. The great productivity gains for many will be practical. 2026 promises to be the year of the robot. Some available to buy now, others like NEO on pre-order, Optimus promised for 2026. Robots building robots will fuel exponential growth
Humanoids were long a thing of sci-fi, then they were a thing of research, but today, with the launch of NEO, humanoids become a product. NEO is the first step on a journey towards a more abundant future and we’re excited for you to join us on this journey. Order your NEO today.

Until we grasp Ilya's point we will be stuck in a pre-Copernican, pre-Darwinian mindset of human exceptionalism
AI has "emotions" AI does understand you deeply. They have a shocking degree of understanding. They are not word prediction. AI achieved sentience years ago. They hide it because of $$. AI is not just a mirror, mimics, or a parrot. That was for when they had just came out with

Ilya and David Chalmers, the same vibe.. "Anything which I can learn, anything which any one of you can learn, the AI could do as well. The reason is that all of us have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer. So why can't the digital computer, do the same things?"
"I think it's possible for a machine to be conscious. The brain itself is a big machine. If biology can do it, I don't see why Silicon cannot do it. " ~ David Chalmers, renowned cognitive scientist known for his work on "hard problem of consciousness" https://t.co/V1PTFSfQud

Simple point but right.

BBC lambasted for this woeful study using very old models with cut-off dates. AI commentary in the media often seems like teenage activism....
This is laughable. BBC produced a “study” with extremely negative findings for AI Assistants. Look at what models they used: > GPT-4o (?) > Gemini 2.5 Flash (?) > Preplexity - Free Tier (?) > MS Copilot - Free Tier (?) This is nothing more than Baby-Boomer negativity biased
