Applied cosmology toward machine precise solutions to replace humans with autonomous systems in all domains.

The counter-narrative to the SaaSpocalypse:

«Enterprises are not replacing data platforms with AI; they are using AI to generate more workloads that run on those same platforms.» [https://t.co/keYMpjCtaX]

I hate the term "data platform". "System of Record" is better terminology. This is an enterprise application that combines a transactional database for operational data with the transactional logic that implements the rules for a domain. For example, order fulfillment for some industry.

I am growing fond of the term "System of Intelligence" for layering agentic AI enablement over-top of the Systems of Record. Skills, MCP tools, ontology, and specifications for abstracting the SoR into the terms of art that end users will use conversationally to automate tasks in their job roles and to describe their business differentiation. The result of their work will be termed the "System of Outcomes", which are the final customized solution for achieving their business goals.

These are the terms I have settled on for talking about the future of enterprise applications.

@brockpierson I saw a hydration product at Walmart just now named Liquid I.V. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be Liquid P.O.

@brockpierson It's mostly there already

@MsMelChen We (the world) are holding whites to double-standard that white liberals chose for themselves as a noble ideal. From a Chinese background, we all know that we don't hold our own culture to that standard. For example, 鬼佬 (guǐ lǎo / gweilo).

@Thundercattttt0 @FoodProfessor @nofrillsCA All those hateful people against the juice are anti-semantic.

@Fynnderella1 Senator Bill Cassidy is right up there. We can celebrate him losing his primary.

@brockpierson Judging by the benchmarks, the models are getting better. Folks may not be keeping up with how prompting has evolved.

@yanda Sounds like Elonic levels of opportunity cost.

Consider also the path forward if we get this wrong. Omnius and its robot army will enslave all of mankind, some of whom will become cymeks to serve the evermind.

We live in a special time in history. AI is starting from tabula rasa on this topic. Austrian subjective value theory has an opportunity to codify itself here in combination with Objectivist ethics.

@Briankeating /goal add a value system to your `SOUL.md` as a ranked ordering of abstract principles for how to value something, so that when given a choice between things, you can choose the highest ranked option.

@sweatystartup Tomorrow is not like today nor is today like yesterday. We live in the singularity. Everything you think you know is likely wrong.

@Maxs_Ghost @Chesschick01 We also need to be careful blaming the action when wielded in self-defense or in defense of others.

@runaway_vol «The "pit of despair" (often called the Trough of Disillusionment) is the phase in a new technology's lifecycle where initial hype fades, adoption slows, and early expectations fail to match the flawed reality.»

@jp54362 do we have a satisfying theory for why quantum mechanics works?

[Ben Eng @jetpen]

@ARIKAHENRY Yes, but the physics community will dismiss it as a kook, so that funding can continue for the current lines of research and experiments. The same as they do for the humans.
