A great presentation about giving better presentations. Highly recommended. https://youtu.be/JB87qJGSvuk?si=D9puGA0XBT1kFuJ4 #publicSpeaking #toastmasters #presentation

#protip: Instead of using AI to generate a slide deck, put the prompt you'd use on the slide with a picture of a cat. Your audience will thank you. Another reminder of Oliver Burkeman's "Interest is Everything" https://ckarchive.com/b/92uzhnh695dods3roomrdfzod7d33hwh9nk2g At work and at conferences, even small, local conferences, I'm seeing more and more AI generated slide decks. I am pretty sure I've seen more slop decks than hand made decks in the last 3 months. I heard one speaker mention it cut the time to create the deck from 20 hours to 15 minutes.. Yeah? No shit! You have no idea what's on the slide you have up nor do you know what's on the next slide. This isn't just techbrosephs. I've seen experienced, well-intentioned speakers at OSS conferences on stage, armed with a slop deck and a confused look when the slide deck doesn't match what they're talking about. For me, as a audience member, it should be the first time I see your slides. But for you, as the speaker? You shouldn't act surprised, or have to read all the 18pt font bullet points on the slide for the first time as they're displayed! Stop the slopshow! #fuck_ai #speaking #publicspeaking #public_speaking_101 #llm

It was an honor to give the closing keynote at the George Washington University's OSCON. Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for putting together a great event. I attended many insightful talks about open source. #publicspeaking #keynotespeaker #gwu #opensource #conference
