Amen! Beware the false idol of hype, especially when the very integrity of science and research is at stake. #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #GenerativeAI #GenAI #LargeLanguageModels #LLM #QuantumComputing #QuantumApplications #QuantumAlgorithms #QuantumInformationScience #QIS #QuantumTechnologies #QuantumTech #Quantum

Someone posted this and I can only assume that they are comparing it to the current hype around AI (so-called). Now, I'm definitely a techno-skeptic. I thought crypto-currency was an interesting idea a decade ago and believe it has run its course and has nothing useful to offer us. As for AI (so-called) it has it's uses, but I suspect the vast majority of the pollution it creates is for little more than what are ultimately toys. But reading this piece, I have to wonder if Prof. Shannon might have underestimated the impact of his own work. True, outside of computer science, people don't really use the term "entropy" (or even, arguably, "information") the way he means it here. But the history of information theory is also bound up with the history of computer science and it's hard to imagine any field that has not been utterly transformed (for better or worse) by information technology. It's true, I don't think biologists talk about cells as information processors like they might have 70 years ago, but maybe that's only because they don't need to anymore. I don't know. Maybe I overestimate the influence of Shannon's work. I do call myself a "Cybernetician" on LinkedIn, after all.

Optimize for the Ear: Brevity in Speaking 🗣️📝✨ Harnessing the power of brevity lies in tailoring your text for speech, not just reading. Consider the contrast between a news broadcast and a written article - the spoken word often conveys the essence more quickly. Strive for this efficiency; let your words be as impactful in speech as they are on paper. #BrevityInSpeaking #OptimizedCommunication #SpeakDontRead #EffectiveSpeaking #SpeechVersusText #CommunicationTips #SpeakForImpact #TimeEfficiency #NewsBroadcastVsArticle #SpeakingStrategy #shorts #short
