A computer can never be held accountable

Therefore a computer must never make a management decision

Mark Weiser gets it. He understands exactly why the current gen AI/LLM moment is so frustrating to me. We should be building better software, not creating more software to control our existing mid software for us.

For example: being alerted of a potential collision

  • agent: “collision, collision, go right and down”
  • ubicomp: background presentation of airspace information for continuous spatial awareness, as in everyday life. You’ll no more run into another airplane than you would try to walk through a wall.

Damn; he’s even anti-racist:

It obsessively fascinates

  • the human-like machine to which we give life
  • the perfect, all-powerful, slave
  • be careful when appealing to ancient prejudice

Funny how Litt takes away a totally different message from this slide deck than I do.

A great write-up on the “My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts” article, with some really solid thinking on the linguistic & logical shenanigans in AI hype talk.

When SoTA LLMs are tasked to keep books tidy for a long period of time, they drift and the balance accuracy falls over time. This is a good example that we still need humans in the loop
