Great post as always. Just a quick note from my English professor self: check that Maya Angelou quote. It is usually attributed to her, and she might have expressed that sentiment, but there is no specific source for it linked to her writing.
Thanks Jim, and good point about the quote. I had done a bit of digging to try and confirm the origin and thought I had couched the uncertainty around the original source when I quoted it, but apparently not. The beauty of an online post is that it is easy to update and correct the record on these points of clarity.
I like the dreamweavers connections you make here. We need more of this kind of grounded, yet optimistic model for working with AI. And reverse h/t (is that a thing?) to you for pointing me to the Noēma article. I had only seen Autor's NBER working paper and missed the more accessible essay. Thanks!
Thanks Rob, totally agree about the grounded optimism for working with AI. Thanks again for the tip on the article and glad to point to the more accessible version too!
