You are making a big assumption that it is your decision to automate or not to automate and that everything is in your control. In large orgs, even small workflows touch teams that are not under one command. They will have disparate technol

They didn't have "open" or "free" as prefix.

Someone finally asks some sensible questions, about hijacking of the term "open".

50 years of knowledge? That's probably for you. For the current and future generations, that 50 years knowledge is expected to be shoved into AI already.

That's because you are doing a play with a specific role and dialogs. That role and its script doesn't include arguments.

Looks great. What are it's input ports and output ports? What's the brand and where did you get it from?

> Who can punch themselves in the face with reality the most? This is who will win in the age of AI. Reminds me of a politician in India who would ask elders in his family to slap him hard before he starts out on the election campaigns.

The English those days had some raw skills and strength. Jim Corbett traveled from Englad on a request to hunt a tiger, camped in the forest on a tree in the nights to deal with the beast. CP Brown studied Telugu and South Indian languages

Disparity in ownership of machines is not the main factor that is driving the need for work. It is the un-ending desire (or selling pressure) to have things that require money to buy. Most people work to be able to pay their loans and have

You need to first address 1)What is work? 2)Why we need to work? Animals don't "work". Not atleast for their own sake. If there is enough green pasture and water around, they don't even migrate to other places. So if wor

It is a contradiction only because you chose to call it so, or you built a framework that interprets something as a contradiction. Logic and mathematics are built on shaky grounds on larger scale. Similar to how Earth's tectonic plates

Those axioms do not have a basis other than observations at human scale.
165.
by zkmon 3mo ago
In general, anything that is observed to be true at a smaller scale or context can't be extended to much larger scales. That involves assumptions on logic and mathematics to be homogenous across all scales. A pure theoretical extrapola

While it is genuinely a huge concern, the legal measure are not going to address it. One has to consider the overall picture, not just a corner of it. The ship has sailed. There will be addictive designs, products, services etc. The very th

Are you saying EU Council made an illegal Act that violates the provisions in other Acts? Why don't anyone talk about references to those violations?

by zkmon 3mo ago
Some folks (mostly Americans) tend to think that their laws, their definitions of terms like "democracy", their beliefs, their norms, their culture - are all universal. You need to specify which EU laws does this violate. "un

The auto companies said the same - you don't HAVe to drive a car. But then cities were designed for cars, with far-flung work places. Now you HAVE to drive to work. Same with AI. Your world will be woven around AI, giving you no optio

You want to be a child forever, amazed by your toys or the new things you can do. The toys won't let you grow up and become a normal human. You don't need take a dog for a walk, if you live in a normal place that allows dogs to ro

I'm no longer writing code from scratch, as I used to do before. So, very soon, it will be "AI can now do X" makes it so I can't also do X? Same with many creative works. Radio music already sounds so plastic. I lost int

Most of what AI does is already in wrong direction. Not just human-to-human interaction, it took away thinking, creative work, sensory perception (glasses) and responses. People call it as helping humans, but I call it as sucking away the &

This is true for any product in general. It is same as vendor lock-in in a sense, with the specialist team being the "vendor". Management never likes indispensable teams that limit their control over shuffling as they like.

Speaking of forcing employees work until midnight, in 1999, there were dotcom startups in San Francisco that used to pull down shutter in the evening to make employees work all-night. This was quite a common practice.

Nobody got fired for IBM, but it took some battles for IBM to reach that level. Same with AI. Brand images won't develop until the street battles are over and dust settled. Otherwise, Google wouldn't have taken over Yahoo and Chat

Flashed my TP-LINK router last week with openwrt bin file, to get wifi to ethernet bridge. Working awesome. There are too many settings. Feels like Gimp (vs paintbrush). But once figured out, it works well.
