Summary: AI is introducing the third user-interface paradigm in computing history, shifting to a new interaction mechanism where users tell the computer what they want, not how to do it — thus reversing the locus of control.
…me, salty Kuhn fan will add that “this is not a paradigm shift, it is just a new thing.”
It’s also important for journalists to ask what metric the company is using to evaluate the model—and whether that is the right one to use. A useful question to consider is whether a false positive or false negative is worse. For example, in a cancer screening tool, a false positive may result in people getting an unnecessary test, while a false negative might result in missing a tumor in its early stage when it is treatable.

One shall not obsess with the game controller they use, I suppose, in their analysis, failing the controller wouldn’t prevent the sub from resurfacing… It is symptomatic, however. The whole Silicon Valley is like that. You have the old guard, NASA, millions for fault analysis, rumors go the C code on some NASA rocket was certified at $1000 per line—human eyeballs reading it…
All those start-ups and unicorns, though. Just do it, when to be a hacker became an honorific, a title… Code your stuff, design your mechanics at Starbucks, who needs mathematics and physics when we can have s*t done instead. Who needs signing-off when we can have a carate-belt meeting standing on bouncing balls instead…
I don’t want to be the dean of the faculty of prophecy but this is only the beginning. Wait until those autopilots starts using ChatGPT/Stack Overflow/copy/pasted code…
