Creativity also requires information. And Information is discovered. We can only generate random ideas from what we know. We can't imagine something we've never sensed, or know. You can't imagine a color you've never…
There is always some form of social loafing going on in any large group of people doing work. "The Ringelmann effect is the tendency for individual members of a group to become increasingly less productive as the size…
This is good stuff. At the end of the day, we all have finite time. How we choose to spend that time is a personal matter. Some say we're losing our humanity: that can be seen as good or bad, depending on whether or not…
You are right. I'm not saying I like the way things are trending. But I also think setting up our children means making sure they're prepared for the future. I don't think AI will ever replace the importance of…
If you consider things like Mythos (I know it was partly hype), and cyber security using AI to find old vulnerabilities in open source tools, and others using that information to actively disrupt the economy (this is…
This is a topic about predicting and preparing for the future. If you want to be snarky: this is hackernews, not reddit. Bring some logic into the discussion and stop fishing for points.
I agree with most of your points except the last one. Probably easier to ask a question than argue a point: How eager are you to use Government services? Businesses are only well-run if they make profit: hiring the…
I doubt it. There is so little care for monopoly or copyright because AI is a race, as much as it is a tool. And nobody wants to restrict the race. Policy may pass that limits the use of AI for the general public, but…
I think it's more of a prestige discussion. Who leads, who follows, between countries. Not whose super intelligence is better. Who got their first, and how are they using it?
As always, influence for the future
That is always going to be a personal race. You can get in the currents of education, but your success will always depend on your own paddling.
The irony of the dotcom crash is that a lot of 'dark fiber' service started rolling out decades later. Fiber that was laid during the dotcom era. There are lots of datacenters going up in similar fashion. I don't know…
And it's a pretty big game
We're you around for the space race? It's a world prestige thing, and also a competitive edge, for better or worse.
Do you think AI will go away and suddenly businesses will start hiring people back? Or that a competitive startup won't lean on AI to get ahead? Doesn't matter how much stock prices move up and down...AI is here to stay…
A lot of businesses depend on the Internet. AI will be the same in the future. Not sure what to say about the ups and downs of stock price, or hype cycles.
The problem with public policy is that it allows other countries to get ahead of you. 'AI' isn't just a tool, it's also a race.
The economy
It is more Value. Who decides value? I'm sure you can figure that out.
So what? So you must now produce more. Expectations have changed. If you are paid the same money, and work has become easier: balance is lost. Someone will compete and take your place. Now you're expected to produce…
Evil wins when the Good do nothing. How hard should we 'try', how much time should a person spend working, learning, versus living?
That's the danger behind economy and society: we all must be useful in some way. We all have to find 'value' in some way. We take on 'roles' so we can contribute. Roles are necessary because we simply don't have time to…
I have zero opinion about the state of the world. I'm just making an observation. Awareness of issues only gets you so far. But it factors into daily decisions. And when it's all too much to bear, we just push it out of…
Probably too early for this, but I'm reminded of the Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil. Evil acts made real by the decisions of those at the top, and the rest of us reject the acts. But quitely we accept these acts…
It's all fun and games until some high level executive realizes everyone is using it and still demanding the same paycheck.
