@Ned_Donovan Read the great article. Like the Indian thuggee metaphor. Minimalism and reductionism may allow for easier replication, repetition, and cost savings. But there is something about the uniquely messy Milwaukee flag. Thanks for writing the article.

Is AI different?
In the past technologies (dishwashers, word processors, etc.) moved workers up the added value scale, w/productivity at the bottom.
AI is moving lawyers,editors,radiologists into lower value jobs: Uber drivers, waiters...
Gains are going to technofeudalists

@DeutschExplains @DavidDeutschOxf @arjunkhemani Transfer of genes (biological selection) and memes (knowledge) moves us along.

[Deutsch Explains @DeutschExplains]

Education as conceived at present, is entirely the transmission of memes. Now, without transmission of memes, we would be reinventing the wheel all the time. So it's highly desirable that memes be transmitted. It's also highly desirable that they not be transmitted faithfully, because otherwise there won't be improvement. And if there's anything worse than having to reinvent the wheel, it's having no improvement, because whereas reinventing the wheel all the time is terribly inefficient, not having improvement is fatal. It's certainly fatal.

The irony of the BBC lecturing Guyana’s President when the UK is due to shut down 8 existing nuclear reactors in the 2020s AND is behind on almost every metric when it comes to the ongoing transition

In 1974, author Ray Bradbury was asked, “What is space travel going to do for man?” In response, he gave the most mystical, mind-blowing, and strangely moving answer I could have imagined.
