Can sound and visuals affect how we experience taste? Fascinating session @typetasting.bsky.social where bubbling sounds heightened my bubble taste. Visual folks tasted sweetness with rose tinted lenses. The 🧠 is mad and amazing.

SectionAI's survey on AI proficiency is an eye-opener: only 1 in 10 people are really proficient in AI. Even in B2B tech, more than half fail the grade. Clearly need more serious investment in skills ALL THE TIME www.sectionai.com/ai/the-ai-pr...

Take with pinch of salt as from Grammaly "let's all do AI" report but this is important insight for use case for AI: internal comms for bilingual workers. It's hard to be clear in your own language, huge kudos if you're doing it in 2.
