@BenStiller Dude. I know you’re pumped but saying that is the kiss of death.

@ptichushka @neerajadeshp YOU, are a blessing. Any teacher who feels what you communicated and acts on it deserves to be honored and compensated at the highest level.

@sweatystartup say it here and there are many different types of intelligence.

There is something that it is like to be a wild bison roaming on the plains for 20 years that has nothing to do with "solving problems" that humans solved for themselves. Even violent death by wolves isn't something bad for it. It's part of the natural lifecycle for this once wild animal. It doesn't want to be domesticated so it can live a more comfortable life.

Humans are different than bisons of course. We can think into the future and plan for what's next. But even our "solving problems" is full of unintended consequences that aren't understood until later. Smartphones are a good example.

@simonsarris @max_spero_ I do and no begrudging, and domesticated animals are our companions and outside of the wild world. I was thinking if the bison and thought death by wolf is some sort of ecstatic culmination of its wild life. Most wild animals.

[Matt Milliken @matthere1]

@simonsarris @max_spero_ “live (and die) better lives…” is subjective. domestication changed what that means for some animals, but the bison being killed in the wild is natural and normal for him. we need more of this natural world, not less.

[Matt Milliken @matthere1]

it's obvious no one really knows where this ends up, and we should all be properly frightened AND excited, but stretch your time horizon out, move on with your human created stuff and use this amazing tool when you need it. ignore the shilling.

I DO believe we can't even imagine what tech and software will be like 5 years out (maybe a bit more?) and how it will change our world. right now, it's all for the tech nerds and bros. that will change.

@tferriss amen brother. i always, almost always, lead my reactions to slights with that thought. sometimes the thought is preceded by a "what the f**k"?!

@heygurisingh i saw a lot of people dunk on this prompt. it's worked for me, although I tweaked it slightly. I like the confidence level requirement.

[Matt Milliken @matthere1]

So much better than a hideous blower. Listen to that sound. 🧹

@michpokrass well said. sending two off to college this fall and this hits. the sweet melancholy of impermanence. what a gift to experience it. :)

[Matt Milliken @matthere1]

yes.
humans are messy, inconsistent, at times brilliant (illogically so) and agents are the complete opposite and require almost perfect structure to work.
i personally don't want a world where we engineering everything to be the perfectly defined. give me messy, brilliant, at times frustrating human-centric world.
let agents do stuff of drudgery, but let's not go overboard.

@andy_matuschak I don't think it's as broad stroke as that though. I know and have heard of painters that find painting a chore/painful sometimes, same with music.

Creating anything from nothing is really, really hard for almost everyone. It's fail, fail, stumble, achieve, stumele, fail.
