Very interesting, thanks for sharing 👌
It's exciting to read and see UT land so high up in diffusion%, I've been impressed with the questions and conversations I've been a part of here from my home office and at the Kiln in St George. Utahans are eager to learn and understand how they can use this for good within their communities!
If you are not using AI but just hoping to get your email but you are 87 and locked out of your Outlook account, are there any humans at Microsoft who can help?
Thanks everyone

AI and US diffusion.... ....For the first time, Microsoft’s US AI Diffusion Report looks below the national number, using state- and county-level data to show where AI is actually taking hold. What emerges is not a single national trend but a set of patterns that vary widely depending on where people live. .. Thank you for sharing
The framing of feeling cognitively inspired rather than cognitively offloaded is exactly right. The people getting the most out of AI aren't the ones using it to do less thinking. They're the ones using it to think through more, faster. The zip code data is a useful reminder that access to that kind of leverage isn't evenly distributed yet, and the decisions being made right now about education, infrastructure, and product design will determine how wide that gap gets.
