Ok before I go any further I have to comment - is anyone else unreasonably distracted by the double-cerebellum brain image up top? Oddly mesmerizing… another win for AI art IMO.

EDIT: Made me smile, feel a bit less alone. I wish you many more cool things! I suspect this phrase will stick with me for a while yet:

  uncork that weird zone between your ears

While there isn’t anything particularly novel in this list, I do like how this highlights the process of technical/science communication. The way to get good at sci comms is to practice it and to query your audience when they don’t understand it!

I almost closed the page after gauging the size of the picture against the length of the text.

I've played with creating some chest x-ray images using diffusion.

I almost gave my ER friend a heart attack after I sent him X-rays with flipped hearts and even missing organs. He was very confused (these was early in the year when GebAI wasn't so mainstream)

Umm... So none of this sounded like "work". It sounded like playing with a fun new technology then bothering other people to try and gain some sort of status as "architect" or expert in the fun new thing.

How do you get paid to spend so much time on the fun new thing when there are boring things that people paying you want done ?

Yeah it's great if you have the free time, no kids etc. Otherwise the grind of staying ahead is just that - another grind.

It's been a long day...

Seriously, if I could get paid to "work" like this, I'd work all day.

I think they mean "work" as in everyday functioning, not as in a job. How their brain works, I guess.

>Force yourself into situations where you're the dumbest person in the conversation. Ask stupid questions. Get things wrong, listen for corrections, but leave room to ask followups.

In the spirit of asking stupid questions, what does "leave room to ask followups" mean here? What part of "listen for corrections" or "ask stupid questions" is it qualifying?
