How does one keep up?

So, it's 12:25pm… I have received multiple emails today about Deepseek AI, about PMI's Infinity 2.0 - it's Infinity's first birthday - congratulations!, about linking AI models to my Moodle installation, and about agents… what are they and why are they? This is all fun and good but how does one keep up? I feel like I'm drinking from a firehose! So, I asked ChatGPT - it wasn't particularly helpful but it did agree with me that it's a challenge.
I think the solution is to keep an eye on the overall structure of change, not the specific details. For most of us, AI is a tool to be used in our work - it ISN'T our work. So, from a structural perspective, it's good to know the history of AI as that will provide a better idea as to where it's going… but, a 5,000 foot view is probably fine. We can let the developers figure out the details. We need to understand things like agents but again, from OUR perspective: how will they enhance our use of AI? Will they?
There's an old saying about forests and trees… it's applicable here I think.
