Been warming up to the Toxic soundtrack. It didn’t quite catch on instantly, but over a few days, have been beginning to enjoy the expansive soundstage that the vocals create – Chingariyaan in particular is a favorite. The movie isn’t doing that great, but I think I would love it. You just have a feeling sometimes:)
In other news, been building a couple of products over the extended weekend – a challenge and excitement in itself. Had a long discussion with the wife on AI and its potentially catastrophic implications on humankind (her view) – nothing to worry about, I countered. If you cannot do anything about it, you just have to go with the flow and hope for the best, isn’t it?
“Most of our anxiety comes from the illusion that we can control the future. We obsess over outcomes, trying to predict what will happen next. But life has its own rhythm, its own unfolding. Instead of resisting uncertainty, learn to work with it. The more you accept that control is an illusion, the more freedom you gain to live fully in the present.”
Alan Watts
Personally, I do see the way we work changing in a manner that hasn’t been experienced before. And this can be a bad thing for quite a few, who are unable to adapt to change. These changes will be exponential, not incremental, more like the pre-computer and post-computer era, or the pre-mobile and post-mobile era. Only difference is, try combining the two (in terms of impact), and then multiplying this manifold. Scary, yet never been a better time to live!
