This week I have learned:
- in the PlayCards that I built a few years ago, one of the suggested actions was to attend a conference in a field that you know nothing about. I sort of did that this week with a trip to The London Book Fair and I found it, for the most part, sensationally disorienting. Did have a couple of really valuable conversations, though.
- an LLM can make me laugh. I’m assuming because it’s now trained itself on my sense of humour. They basically will become mirrors.
- I had the chance to meet up with a few people from outside of my organisation this week after a few weeks of lots of meetings with colleagues to get to know a new team. Switching context from internal to external and back again is a good thing.
- I had some good feedback this week from colleagues after making a few waves.
- I also had an award-winning novelist ask for a copy of The Book. That’s amazing.
- I’m also continuing to get great feedback when people see the physical prototype.
- Getting into the idea of creating short-form video, but realising how hard I find it to look at a camera.
