The Rise of the Machines – Why Automation Is Different This Time
- sacheendra 9y agoI am not an expert in machine learning, but the way this video presents automation just feels wrong. I see computer science and machine learning as something which can amplify the power of a human. Taking the example in the video, previously if 20 managers were required to oversee a job software makes it possible for 1 manager to oversee the job. The presentation in the video of software as something which learns our jobs and starts doing them just sounds like a mischaracterisation. It sounds as if machines will t6ake over the world. While jobs are being lost due to technology, I would think its because a few very smart people are doing the jobs which required a lot of people. I would like to hear HN's thoughts on this.
- nilson 9y agoi don't know about machine learning our jobs, that sounds futuristic. but machine can be set up not to require 1 specific manager to oversee it. it can hire whomever it chooses. that means machine is in control of its workers. and not the other way around
