When there's higher violence and lower property values in a Black neighborhood, people like OP are quick to blame Black culture. But when the "Cognitive Dark Forest" emerges from a community that shares its own common characteristics, suddenly collective accountability no longer applies.
When discussing violence in the Black community, it's "cultural." But when the subject turns to financial crimes or exploitation — where the per-capita ratios tell their own story — proportionality and population-to-crime-rate analysis mysteriously stop mattering.
It's difficult to take the "Cognitive Dark Forest" seriously as an existential concern when the people raising the alarm are so selectively offended. The crisis only becomes real when their innovations, their livelihoods, and their moats are threatened. Everyone else was supposed to just adapt.
The "Cognitive Dark Forest" is and will be continued to be perpetuated by "them" and if you really cared about the issue you would have addressed them.
I’m sorry. Why are we talking about Black neighbourhoods?
Feel like we are trying to put the author in a bad (racist or classists?) light so we do not have to address the real issues touched on by the article.
If its an interesting problem, i'll do it free. a@project20x.com
One issue I see in your messaging is that construction people usually do not speak like "completely offline, no cloud, no accounts, no subscription". When doing work for SME's one of the things I enjoy most is learning systems, tool chains, nomenclature etc... The above reads like a dev harvesting for leads.
I think people will understand it easily. It's like buying a really nice tool (which I do often). I will spend 300-400 dollars on tools I can have forever. It's easily justified if it makes my job easier.
A completely offline, no subscription lifetime app is an easy sell and exactly what people like me want.
I don't understand how anyone can rationalize this bill in the face of what OpenAI just agreed to with the DoD.
AI can surveil and direct munitions but it cant answer legal questions. Wouldn't this also violate the "no state my limit or restrict the use of AI" that the current administration is pushing?
> I don't understand how anyone can rationalize this bill in the face of what OpenAI just agreed to with the DoD.
NY doesn’t have any obligation to agree with the DoD. Also the applications seems quite different, although I don’t think AI should actually be relied on for either one!
> Wouldn't this also violate the "no state my limit or restrict the use of AI" that the current administration is pushing?
No, it doesn’t violate it. States can’t violate executive orders, because executive orders aren’t instructions for the states. The instructions are for the executive branch, for example, if this becomes law the US Attorney General will try to find some way to fight against it.
I commented this earlier and it was instantly downvoted for some reason, but I totally agree with both points; I also think they are intrinsically connected in many ways because using customer-development to understand and build an initial audience often helps identify distribution channels. Here are a few examples I have found
1) I made a product to help people manage their diets; crowded space so it was hard to find users, following Steve Blank's customer-development process I found that the product should have been made for Dietitians not for end users. This may have been obvious to most but it was but to me at the time.
2) I made a product for Medicare/Medicaid but it was hard to get my foot in the door to even be considered for any of the Gov. contracts, so following the same model again I found that if I used politicians that had made promises during their campaign that my product could help them to fulfill then I could use them as distribution channels.
One thing I disagree with or don't understand is
> ship earlier now (often free and open source) to learn faster, but it doesn’t change the attention dynamics much.
I have found the opposite, it seems like the bar is much higher now and not even the boost in productivity that I have gotten from using AI has allowed me to ship secure/high quality products as fast as I would like to; perhaps I am just too insecure about my work but its all new I guess.
I'm recreating the "Gov" - not really; just my idea of it, globally e.g.: ua.gov-ai.co / ua.ai-gov.co/ ng.gov-ai.co / ng.ai-gov.co - most progress made so far w/ CBER and DDP's
* HHS -> FDA -> CBER
It's important IMO (IMO only NOT AN EXPERT) because it helps you understand first principles better. As fundamentals change, its helps me to reevaluate these things even though I know nothing will ever come of them.
I am 422 agencies in so far, hoping to finish in-time for Juneteenth. Cant post her because........... but yea.
It’s striking how corporate complicity in systematic oppression can be sanitized over time until egregious patterns only resurface as political talking points.
