“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to “a level of respective incompetence”: employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.
AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It (Alt link)
While this sense of having a “partner” enabled a feeling of momentum, the reality was a continual switching of attention, frequent checking of AI outputs, and a growing number of open tasks. This created cognitive load and a sense of always juggling, even as the work felt productive.
Email transformed communication. For better? Not necessarily. More of a tradeoff. Ai is transforming knowledge work. For better? For now it’s probably more of a tradeoff.
Researchers investigated 112 decorated ostrich eggshell fragments discovered at three sites—two in South Africa and one in Namibia. University of Bologna The extensive training required to achieve domain-specific expertise modifies the brain. Changes in brain structure have been found in domains including music, athletics and navigation. Training also alters brain activity.
To connect these different components of neuroplasticity, and extend them to conceptual expertise, we explored bird identification in experts and matched novices, assessing changes in brain structure, brain activity, and identification performance.
Regions involved in attention and perception showed structural modification in experts, and these same regions were selectively engaged to support identification in challenging circumstances. Results also suggest that knowledge acquisition might mitigate age-related decline in circumscribed brain regions supporting expert performance.
In Japan, the number of people over 65 living alone is expected to rise to almost 11 million by 2050 (about ~10% of total population projected in 2050), according to the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research.
The country even has the term kodokushi or “lonely death”, which refers to the tragic cases of people dying alone at home with no one noticing for months, and sometimes years.
In a country grappling with a rapidly ageing population and a deepening loneliness crisis, Yakult Ladies have become an unlikely source of community, helping to reduce the problem of isolation one drop-off at a time.
