In scientific discovery, AI’s “wrong” combinations can be as revealing as its right ones. In a culture obsessed with quick results, it’s the true ally of those who still enjoy the slow art of brainstorming. #AI #Research #ScientificDiscovery #Creativity

Finally read Benjamin Franklin's autobiography. He was a self-made man, a self-taught physicist, a wise politician, and the only person to sign foundational US documents. A much-needed lesson in humility and service. Hoping for more politicians like him in the world

A friend asked me what swarm intelligence has to do with business.

Think of it like the telecom network. The engineering exists, but it's business science that brings it to the public.

Our job is to make advanced tech like swarm intelligence usable for everyone. #BusinessScience

To get the best from AI, don't expect it to follow multiple threads of thought at once. Isolate each concept it needs to grasp and give it a separate prompt for each.

One critical ignorance when working with AI is its lack of integrated feedback.For example, it can synthesize a set of documents, but offers no guarantee that the key points chosen are correct or that the original tone of writing is preserved

Based on my experience working with AI and seeing its power to replace many scientific tasks, I've learned that the areas which remain untouched, and likely will be, are logic, methodology, and subjective philosophy.

I had the pleasure of reading another book by a mathematically literate sociologist. Despite its age, the fluent prose and the professor's way of conveying concepts make reading and understanding a pleasure.

Social science emerged from our urge to shape society. Psychology from our need to shape ourselves. Biology from our quest to shape nature. Can these disciplines now help us shape tools—for more humane ends?

Just finished another fascinating book by professor #Faramarz_Rafipoor. A deep look at a #South_Africa 's post-revolution behavior and what #Iran can learn from it. Most valuable for me was learning how a sociologist observes a society—a masterclass in sharpening your own power of observation.

A gem of a find at the book fair!A math book so beautifully written it underscores a vital truth: you can't do groundbreaking science without understanding math's philosophy and history.

Israel bombed and murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen along with several cabinet members, and there is zero outrage in Western media… it’s barely even a story. The level of impunity is breathtaking.

How Sweden’s ‘secondhand only’ shopping mall is changing retail. Built alongside the city’s recycling centre, it includes a dedicated drop-off point called The Return, where residents donate unwanted items. theconversation.com/how-swedens-...

How Sweden’s ‘secondhand only’ shopping mall is changing retail

Circular retail is not just about what we buy, but how and where we buy it.

Dr Jason Hickel makes some fair points. I believe the least we can do is recognize that genuine need is what truly drives the economy.

Exploring innovation adoption, I finished this book by Professor Rafipoor. As with his other works, it offers accessible insights into social factors. It deepened my understanding and helped me analyze overlooked societal forces, offering perspectives I couldn’t imagine before. #innovationadoption

My bet: The market’s headed for a Cambrian explosion of use cases. Think fractal-like complexity—layered, nested, and wildly diverse. Adaptability wins here.

🔍 Keyword-based search? That era’s saturated. The demand now? Semantic understanding, smart aggregation, and dynamic classification. What attracts us: How much untapped insight is hidden in the data we already have?

🚀 The rise of DeepSeek proves the AI market is commoditizing fast—what was cutting-edge yesterday is table stakes today. Competition isn’t just heating up; it’s leaping toward superior intelligence.

Just wrapped up reading this 18-year-old book. It left me fascinated by the insights it provides. While I may not align with the author's political views on the East, MiddleEast, and Islam, I deeply respect the bright vision he reflected regarding how technology can operate globally. 🌍📚✨

I'm working on laying the foundation for a platform where disciplines can discover and complement each other, moving beyond the traditional supplier-customer platforms.

My serious suspicion: One of the major business lines of the future in the era of artificial intelligence and deep tech will be 'guidance systems.' 🚀🌟 #FutureTrends #AI #DeepTech #GuidanceSystems #BusinessIdeas"

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not the same as automation! They are different beasts! AI can learn and adapt, while automation follows pre-set rules. 🌟 #AI #Automation #TechDifferences"

Taking my younger son's advice, I dived into Jules Verne's 160-year-old classic "From the Earth to the Moon." Beyond the captivating story, I discovered fascinating insights about the people of that era that were completely new to me. 📚🌙 #ReadingJourney #ClassicLiterature #JulesVerne
