from Six Minutes of Silence · host Linu Conil

A hundred thousand people went up against AI in a creativity test. The headline says the machines won. The fine print says something more interesting — AI beat the average. Not the top ten percent.Which raises a question worth thinking about — if your work has been coasting at "good enough" for years, the machines have caught up. The only thing left worth doing is the harder thing. The strange thing. The one that comes from you.Plus — the secret to perfect scrambled eggs, which is mostlypatience. And a poem.—TODAY'S RECIPE —Slow scrambled eggs. 2 eggs cracked into a cold pan with a knob of butter. Heat on LOW — below medium, lower than that. Stir constantly for 5 minutes. Pull off the heat before they look done. Salt at the very end. Black pepper. Chives if you have them.—TODAY'S POEM —"Shadow" — from Fifty Rooms of Silence by Linu Conil,published by Romanson, with an endorsement from Dr. Shashi Tharoor.📖Get the book on Amazon:https://www.amazon.in/Fifty-Rooms-Silence-Linu-Conil/dp/9348314556—Six Minutes of Silence is hosted by Linu Conil and produced byThe Bandrum Circuit in Trivandrum, Kerala.
