When AGI finally arrives, it’ll reshape everything: how we work, think, define intelligence itself, etc. Today’s AI isn’t truly intelligent.
It’s just our reflection-scaled by data and code.

#AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, would be different.
It would have cognitive features, the ability to think, reason, and learn across any domain.
More like a human mind, not a statistical engine.
We’re not there yet, but it’s what we’re chasing.

Everyone’s talking about AI, but how intelligent is it really?
Here’s a quick thread about it.
Most of what we call #AI today is #GenerativeAI.
It mimics patterns from data, predicting the next word, pixel, or move. It’s predictive, not perceptive.

Just published a new Power BI tutorial on Pareto Analysis (the 80/20 rule).
Need to find which 20% of products drive 80% of sales? This is how you do it with DAX. I walk through the theory, then build it step-by-step.

The Kingdom of #Montenegro was proclaimed on 28 August 1910.
In 1918, National Geographic wrote of Montenegro’s flag:
Red field, white border, royal arms, double-headed eagle with scepter & orb, “H I” for King Nicholas I, and a golden lion below.

AI answers often draw from sources like Wikipedia, Reddit, etc, shaped by human edits, biases & battles of opinion. Useful, yes. Ultimate truth, no. Learn to use #AI as a tool, not a final verdict.

Tariffs might shield US industries today, but in the long run they stifle competition, weaken innovation, and make the economy dependent on protectionism. Short-term cover, long-term decline. #Tariffs

In Serbia, “regime” or “opposition” makes no difference on the Balkans. Same toxic nationalism, denying neighbours’ identity and sovereignty. Pro-Russia vibes everywhere. From outside it may look democratic, but inside the society is stuck in the past, repeating the same dangerous shit.
