Asking, "Will ChatGPT take my job" is like asking if we'll have an economic recession next year. That question is too vague, broad, and general to give a meaningful answer. The Jobs Impact Quotient will introduce an objective and systematic way to think about this problem.

This is the piece that complicates my thinking about CDBC and digital transfer systems. What UPI does is seamless and instant transfer of Indian Rupees between parties and it is widely adopted. So why would India need, or benefit from additional CDBC? I can see how CDBC's instant transfer scheme would benefit the US which does not have digital transfer systems that are both instant and close to zero-cost.

I have had the same problem and I worked on it with a workflow of reading something today, making a note of it in a notebook (handwritten works best for me) and revising it the day after. The hand writing part makes me bio-mechanically engage with the material and finally reviewing my notes the next day forces spaced repetition. A nice side-effect is that after a few months when I am just flipping through my notebook I remember something that I had forgotten.

I use this for technical webpages that I read, business concepts (e.g. I am reading about `Yule’s Law of Complementarity` or new technical concepts (e.g. NestJS).

This works for me and I stumbled upon this workflow for myself after trying out a lot of other things that did not work for me.

So the answer for me is, I am not sure. I have a Oculus 2 and often "log in" and check it out. I use it primarily for entertainment purposes (like visiting world cities etc.). But I haven not have not purchased anything in the meta verse. Is that considered hanging out in meta verse or is that just old-fashioned VR?

My point is it is not clear to me what is meta verse and if it is supposed to be different from VR. I would love to read what other write about their experiences.

This article touches on something that I have been recently thinking about - remote work vs. async work. Remote work is in vogue these days but a lot of these companies don't allow or encourage async work. They equate remote work with async work but then institute tools like slack which are antithetical to async work. Typing indicators are one such way where slack encourages synchronous work.
