“Alan M. Turing thought about criteria to settle the question of whether Machines Can Think, a question of which we now know that it is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.” - Edsger W. Dijkstra.

This is especially applicable to LLMs

Why do we keep seeing the same tired old meme spewed about that we need AI to solve Climate Change? We have known for over 30 years EXACTLY what we need to do. If anything, the current manifestation of AI (LLMs), CONTRIBUTES to climate change. *sigh*

I suggest that you continually remind yourself as you watch with wonder, curiosity, and excitement each and every daily AI advancement, this one thing - If it can be militarized, it will be militarized (assume they are working on it now).

I am surprised, and slightly disappointed, that one of these YouTube AI influencer/experts hasn't demo'd their latest "benchmark" that tests creating a Snake game that books a trip for you, while navigating a brutalist cityscape and solving Rubik cube shaped buildings. Gimmee, gimmeee!

I have seen a 10x increase in unsubstantiated claims of some 10x increase in a random, vague, "improvement". It's a 10x increase in the level of absurdity. (10x is a very large number, should stop you dead in your tracks, and elicit an immediate response of "show me the data")

So what do you think is primarily driving AI, from the POV of workers: FOMO or FOBLO (Fear of Being Laid Off)?

"So from an executive perspective, lighting comically large piles of money on fire trying to teach graphics cards how to read is, surprisingly, the logical play. The rest, well, that’s all just creative marketing."

Everyone is constantly talking about "changing the culture". This is fruitless. How about we work on "developing and nurturing the culture" instead. You cannot buy that. It takes stability, commitment, hard work, and a very long time.

Machines (or #AI) cannot #kaizen. Only people can kaizen. Humans MUST remain in the loop!

As soon as Lean, Agile, or Kaizen, becomes primarily about compliance - it is dead.

If you replaced 'Theseus Ship' with 'Theseus' Axe', would it still be the same metaphor?

Contrary to the oft mis-attributed Einstein quote, in socially complex systems (open systems), "insanity" is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the SAME result! #Complexity

At the root of every queue (or bottleneck) lies a prior decision and the resultant behaviors. Queues don't create themselves. Experiment. Learn.

The concept of ’Shu Ha Ri’ is itself a ‘Shu’ way of thinking. In ‘Ri’, there is no ‘Shu Ha Ri’.

Simply “Removing Impediments” is waste: If the system creates impediments faster than they can be removed, you are engaged in wasteful activity. Experiment on the system to modify the conditions that create the type of Impediment that is occurring. Manage #flow.
