What? Oh no, I had not written down the recipe for using gasoline to cook my spaghetti! Whatever shall I do?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Step 1: add gasoline.

Step 2: add more gasoline.

Step 3: don't think about the bridge...

Step 4: what spaghetti?

I wonder if that bridge has immortalized itself in AI history.

I hope it lasts longer than modern AI tools themselves at this point. They have great potential, but... they cannot replace the (lack of) brains of a manager to be a magic bullet to cure all ill effects of greed, with as little effort put into deploying them as has been done so far.

They're also developing computer chips running on actual biological human brains if that helps the brain aspect

Ironically, we keep being told (iirc?) that middle-management was going to be one of the first things to go with the advent of AI. Software was going to eliminate the need for it, allowing one person to manage many tens to hundreds (to thousands?) of people directly.

Instead, most companies - like big tech, and Boeing, etc. - seem to be going the opposite direction, ditching their actual workers who produce things while keeping the managers?

This does not seem to be going all that well for Google lately...
