I wish the title wasn't so aggressively anti-tech though. The problem is that I would like to push this course at work, but doing so would be suicidal in career terms because I would be seen as negative and disruptive.
So the good message here is likely to miss the mark where it may be most needed.

- beepbooptheory 2y agoReally? I am curious how this could be disruptive in any meaningful sense. Whose feelings could possibly be hurt? It just feels like it would be getting offended from a course on libraries because the course talks about how sometimes the book is checked out.

- sgt101 2y agoYes. This is the issue. "not on board", "anti-innovation", "not a team player", "disruptive", "unhelpful", "negative". bye bye bye bye.... I see a lot of devs and IC's taking the attitude that "facts are facts" and then getting shocked by a) other people manipulating information to get their way and b) being fired for stating facts that are contrary to received wisdom without any regards to politics.

If it was called "Are libraries bullshit?" it is easy to imagine defensiveness in response. There's some narrow sense in which "bullshit" is a technical term, but it's still a mild obscenity in many cultures.
- fritzo 2y agoWhat would be a better title? "Hallucinating" seems inaccurate. Maybe "Untrustworthy machines"? "Critical thinking"? "Street smarts for humans"? "Social studies including robots"?
