Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is why a lot of people are resorting to AI to manage their knowledge and learning workflow. "Since the last issue (a week ago), 121 new studies, four new resources, five new FAQs and two new concept pages, on open education and statistics and data science education, have joined the knowledge base." For the record, I don't use AI to select, filter or summarize resources (and of course I write all these posts by hand). There's a tradeoff there that readers should be aware of: it means I may miss important articles and publications when they come out, and might miss emerging trends. At the same time, the benefit is that instead of using AI-based pattern recognition, I'm using my own in-brain pattern recognition to spot useful articles, comprehend what they say, and extract relevant ideas or trends (and that is what you are paying for when you support OLDaily financially, keeping it free and open for all to read).
