The mistakes that lurked in radium, in arsenic, in leaded gas, in fallout downwind of nuclear tests ... all had the best tools that the previous generation knew.

None of them were okay. Those were small small tools with few (sometimes only one) uses.

Generations earlier, famines, diseases and lead-leeching plumbing made rulers insane and entire cities of people die without any help from the "best tools".

Scifi is always written about the best tools. The issues arrive in the tools and in the hands that wield them both.


There's nothing that makes this paper the be and and end all opinion pieces of the paper. The community will review his review, and people who wish to understand more will read more and more of the paper. I see nothing wrong with this process of progressive understanding.


Upgrading old and obsolete GPUs?

Business actually treats a pseudo-dictatorship (with the requisite yes-men) as "good leadership".

Most times it's pretty simple, in my experience. A CEO either runs a business as a (1) Sales focus [best deals and vendors] or (2) Marketing focus [best reputation and trends] or (3) Investor focus [best boardroom friends].

Lots of other opinions are usually thrown out until there's really only one facet used for running the company.


Sure, if by business you mean investors.


is there a (4) or (5) that would be preferable? :)


Has anyone asked what customer will have any funds to buy products?

Once all these brilliant workers are stacked and mentally stunted and decayed because they were removed from any research.

What does the AI really "do" (if it can) and for who that can pay?


I wonder too what happens when all the human workers are out of the job and out of practice, and every company is dependent on a handful of dominant AI companies for their workforce. You'd think businesspeople would understand the concept of a captive market but apparently they're too busy salivating over the prospect of laying people off.
