On the 6th of January, 2026, Hyundai stunned the tech-watchers by debuting Atlas, Boston Dynamics’ M&B hero humanoid robot, who walked the stage like a hunk.
But the walk was just the icing on the cake. Atlas showed off his fully rotational joints (abdomen, neck, shoulders, hips, wrists), which make him more efficient than humans.
Optimus now has a challenger!
I did a color-pencil drawing of a dragon (or, to be more precise, a dragon’s head). Nothing to brag about, really, except that I had to beat a severe case of demotivation to pick up my pencils.
In this LinkedIn post, I talked about the reason why an artist puts in a lifetime of hard work to acquire the ability to create the exact image of something that they have in their mind.
And if we understand that, we’d understand why instructional design, too, is art.
With about 70% of the students using AI to complete their assignments, and with nearly 75% of the content on the Internet becoming AI generated, we must stop and reflect on how AI is impacting our brain’s ability to form new connections and be creative.
This article discusses “Responsible Use of AI” along with an introduction to “RAD: The 3 Baskets of AI” – a framework that helps us classify our cognitive tasks smartly.
We, instructional designers, have a lot to learn from fiction. As kids, most of us were taught to shun fiction as a useless hobby/pursuit, and while I am not totally against the argument, I believe that, as adults who work in the field of instructional design, we would do well to read some fiction.
In this post, we’ll see how some important principles of ID (such as the schema theory and the ARCS model) are reflected in fiction.
“For the Love of Instructional Design – The Non-Textbook for Learning Professionals” is here.
Thank you for inspiring me to write it. If it hadn’t been for your exasperated looks, your constant remonstrations, and your perpetual support, I might not have had the patience to spend three years putting this book together. Now, it’s in your hands.
Once again, thank you 🙂
Grokipedia is the Grok-driven web encyclopedia that xAI launched a week ago (on October 27th, 2025.)
This post presents the author’s thoughts and feelings about this new launch and also brings you some screenshots from the Grokipedia site.
It also lists the similarities and differences between the human-created Wikipedia and the AI-created Grokipedia.
We live in strange times. As human-written content continues to disappear from the Internet (Almost three-fourths of the web pages now have AI-generated content), when I write posts without AI-assistance, I feel rather chuffed.
Anyway, here are five posts that I like quite a bit. This list is somewhat eclectic in nature – but I heartily recommend the xAPI post to all experienced IDs, the creativity post to the perfectionists, the ghosting post to the ghosters and the ghostees, the AI workslop post to those who open their inboxes in the morning and feel a churning in their stomachs, and finally…the LLM’s announcement post to everyone who’s thinking that this is the end of the AI race.
Enjoy reading!
