It doesn't matter in the military. People aren't machines. And when you throw them into high stress, chaotic, unpredictable environments, the expections of performance arent like what you see in the movies.

I dont get it. Why did he say it will reverse? Do you think other countries arent offering freebies or a high skilled labor at cheaper rates than the US? The US has outsourced so much, this cash dump is just going to head straight into the

We can't do better with software Individually. But we can with groups. And most software ppl are quite useless at group formation and maintenance, hence the perpetual drama and tantrums.

I not denying that or saying everything is going to change in an instant. I am saying we are past the point, where Google and the Attention Economy they raised, keeps running the way it did in the last 20 years. We are going to see flat rev

Google contributes to the bullshit explosion by incentivizing ppl to game the rankings and results. Same with Facebooks newsfeed. And everyone else that relies on Ads to provide their "free" services. Everyone is gaming these serv

Its not a static world. Things are always changing. I have some faith Google(the ad tech part) will start crumbling. Chat GPT has given them a jolt. And there are more jolts to come. Not less. From the Regulators. From the advertisers who k

Just more spam and scams than they can handle. 0.5% of all the shit on the Internet is real content. And that stat is from 2015. Their own fault for monetizing every imaginable search query. It has provided the incentive to ever spammer and

“That’s a part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, who’s good, who’s bad, who’s best, who’s worst. I don’t like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in different ways, and I don’t

Here is the latest UN economist network report on the Attention Economy - https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/attention_economy_... Its not enough to sue them. They need to be drastically rearchitected.

Man all that data is over rated and worthless. Monitoring ppl 24x7 is like keeping tabs on your cat 24x7. Nothing that interesting is going on. That doesn't mean the data isn't over priced and over sold to schmucks. But that game

I don't think so. Revenue wise they are much larger than tech. Big tech is mostly advertising.

Info overload and the hype (attention) economy will neutralize gains on all sides.

Cause the prob being solved by search rankings, newsfeeds, maps etc is info overload. People forget that all the time. There is too much info out there. Context about the user shrinks the ever growing info sphere.

Google for the UN Economist Network Report on the Attention Economy. There is a line there that says less than 1% of all content produced is actually consumed by ppl. And its shrinking. When cost to broadcast for anyone on the net falls to

From an info overload/attention spike/network theory context how similar are these intenet shutdowns to brain seizures?

For that the requirements are well known - infinite resources, infinite knowledge, infinite time. See Theory of Bounded Rationality.

Yup this stuff is not for managers. It's on par with expecting managers to work out maxwells equations by themselves. It's not what managers are hired to do. Better option is to hand over data to academics/experts, and do wha

Chat gpt et al seem to have changed the game. We dont need to get human groups to work better, if the output of a group can be outperformed by an algo.

I dont thinks its a means of exploitation in the sense that controling inflation is not something anyone has mastered in hundreds of years of trying all kinds of things.
