I'm assuming you'd deal with bus factor as everyone else who has ever relied on human labor has done -- training, more than 1 person who knows how to do a given job, etc. The world's still buzzing even though we've lived through thousands of years of people dying, I think we've had enough time to figure this one out.
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoIt's not like the problem of training disappears with machine learning. What if the person maintaining the ML algorithm is hit by a bus? What if the algorithm needs adapting? etc.
- tw04 10y agoThen someone else picks up the code and continues maintaining it. You can read through documentation and existing code. You can't extract information from a dead guys brain...
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoWhat stops a human from documenting a process in writing?
- hueving 10y agoIntuition is pretty hard to document.
- tw04 10y ago> human labor has done -- training, more than 1 person who knows how to do a given job, etc Except we're not talking about standard human labor. The guy isn't building bricks, he's maintaining a damn through "feel". That's not something that can just be easily trained. By your logic, explain why we can't buy a new Stradivarius today. Obviously we dealt with the problem of just training someone else to do the same job throughout history by your own admission. It surely isn't lack of demand so I must not be looking in the right places. Where can I buy one?
- mark_edward 10y agoWe can build violins that equal or surpass Strads in many measures. Strads are not varied because they are technically unbeatable, they are valued for the same reason art is.

We can TODAY by means of technology. There was a 200 year gap where we couldn't. And had it been something life-threatening (like maintaining a dam) instead of just producing music, we would've been up a creek without a paddle.
