All three fascinating topics. Thanks for sharing Tobin.

Fascinating to hear about NUL… and your vision of a world where neurodivergent brilliance is integrated into society. I love that!

Facing obsolescence is real… cool to reframe that the best response is self-obsolescence … as an action we as individuals can take, even as the work structures struggle to evolve.

Looking forward to Part 3 of TEDai

Thanks for sharing your experience and insights gleaned from TEDAI, Tobin. This is an awesome read. My favorite part is where you outline four steps for creating "self-obsolescence “ so one can advance oneself to the next level by harnessing AI. Wise words and direction:

Understand - seek to understand the new technology as much as possible.

Adapt - learn how to adapt it to your craft and experiment religiously.

Advocate - dig in, and talk to anyone and everyone about the impacts and opportunities that lie ahead.

Compete - becoming obsolete is not an option, know how are you going to compete and innovate to win. Dig deep and apply your know-how in new ways.
