AI is a…

I find it incredible that the world is just now figuring out that AI is nothing more than a huge fast database. It doesn’t “think”. I knew this from the get go. We just aren’t far enough along to be able to create complex multipath logic and intuition from code. It’s gonna be fun watching the world collectively say, “um, sorry… we didn’t invent god”.

Computer Automation & Efficiency

Automation happens a little bit at a time. Too often folks (like me) who share things they’ve automated want to show _all_ the things they do to make computer usage more efficient. They create a monster that overwhelms the audience.

Automation and efficiency tweaks are the last things one does with a process. You have to know _what_ you want to do, know _how_ to do it, and be _able_ to do it manually before you can automate something effectively.

The Politics of Understanding

If you believe you can’t trust the Democrats, why would you think you can trust the Republicans? The concept that ideology drives actions or that actions define ideology is invalid. We must be very careful about our definitions, as two people who differ in opinion could be using different definitions for reference. If you truly want to discuss something and understand a perception, agree on the assumptions you’ll use for reference. Without that you just have people pretending to care. This is why we must talk things through.
