Every week, I’ll spill the beans on the AI gadgets I’m tinkering with, the mad scientist experiments I’m cooking up, and the mind-blowing stuff I’m spotting in this wacky world of ours.

🔧 Three Tools I’m Testing

🧘🏼‍♂️ Mindpal - A low-code agent and workflow creation tool. It’s an interesting concept, and I have only touched the surface of it so far. I’m going to keep playing around with it moving forward.

💭 Dreamina - Multi-media generation suite that handles text on images pretty well. I made a beautiful new background for my phone. 

🎨 Magic Patterns - Another prompt to app generation type tool. I’ve tried so many at this point. I thought the design was decent and headed in the right direction. I’ll continue to refine my application a little with it.

🧪 AI Experiment of The Week

I attempted to create a simple tool that would search my email using Microsoft Copilot and then download images of my kids from the daycare. Unfortunately, I failed miserably and will attempt again next week using different tools. I am confident that I can achieve this.

Apparently, Copilot in Office 365 can’t actually search my emails directly. :P

📰 Article of The Week

President Trump signed an executive order on April 23, 2025, titled "Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth," which aims to ensure America maintains global leadership in AI by providing young Americans with opportunities to develop skills needed for creating and using next-generation AI technology. The order emphasizes that early exposure to AI concepts helps demystify the technology while sparking curiosity and creativity, preparing students to become active participants in an increasingly digital workforce.

A key component of this initiative is the establishment of a White House Task Force on AI Education, chaired by the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, with members including the Secretaries of Education, Labor, Energy, and Agriculture, as well as the Special Advisor for AI & Crypto. Within 90 days, this task force will plan a Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge to highlight student and educator achievements in AI and promote collaboration between government, academia, philanthropy, and industry.

I believe we need and require every one of all ages to learn about AI, just like the internet!

🌎 Where the World is Going

We're hurtling toward a future where the most powerful technologies in human history are increasingly understood by fewer and fewer people. It's not just that AI expertise is concentrated; even the experts are sometimes flying blind. When OpenAI's latest models hallucinate more than their predecessors, and the designers themselves scratch their heads wondering why, we've entered strange new territory.

Think about your smartphone for a moment. Most of us have no idea how the intricate circuitry works, but that's fine – the engineers who designed it do. With foundation models, though, we're building systems whose behaviors emerge in ways their very creators can't fully predict or explain. It's like we've invented a new kind of fire that sometimes burns underwater, and nobody can tell you exactly why.

This widening comprehension gap creates an interesting societal dynamic. We're developing a technological landscape where most citizens – including our decision-makers – interact with systems they fundamentally can't understand. Arthur C. Clarke famously noted that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," and we're witnessing that transformation in real-time. Foundation models are becoming our modern magic – powerful, useful, occasionally unpredictable, and understood only by a select few modern wizards. Perhaps the most critical skill of the coming decade won't be coding or prompt engineering, but cultivating the wisdom to navigate a world where even the creators of our most powerful tools sometimes whisper to each other, "We're not entirely sure why it does that."
