What if those complementary elements can be useful to you in your own pursuits and how you use AI. This TL;DR hopefully serves that purpose.

I went to Claude, by Anthropic, and asked - “can you create a interactive map of the sequence in which different themes of predictions and impact appear in this article: https://www.generationshence.com/p/superimposed-possibilities.”

Nothing elaborate.

It’s first output was impressive enough. A few tweaks later, mostly focused on design aspects, I got what you see in the video.

If you haven’t yet tried something like this for your work or creative pursuits, now you know one thing you could try when you get a chance.

Happy experimenting!

]]><![CDATA[Why create TL;DR versions?]]>https://www.generationshence.com/p/why-create-tldr-versionshttps://www.generationshence.com/p/why-create-tldr-versionsFri, 30 May 2025 20:59:29 GMTI expect most monthly editions of this publication to be over 2000 words. The TL;DR versions I will share here might take different forms. Sometimes, it may be an AI generated video, an interactive map or visual, or even a 100-200 word AI produced summary.

You are encouraged to use AI to produce a summarization variant of your preference. I honestly expect it given how our busy lives tend to be.

Still, I want you to consider a view that is integral to the purpose of this publication. The least of my concerns when I will be drafting each edition is to be informative. That is the bare minimum I wish to do. There are other publications that serve that goal better than I ever could. I consider being informative as simply table stakes, as they say in poker. I strive for the writing in this publication to evoke a holistic image of AI and its predicted and actual impact on us, those close to us, and those with whom our paths may never cross.

A GenAI summary, whatever shape and form it takes, likely won't accomplish that purpose. If you do come up with a way for GenAI to do that then I would be grateful if you can share with me and the larger audience of this publication so we can learn together. Also, it would be the extra nudge I can use to do better!

This is an experiment and we will see as and when this section ceases to serve the larger purpose of this publication or surprisingly adds more value to it.
