ah, i like that idea, and it neatly parallels my other piece, charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-enthusi...
as promised, here is my post on AI and ethics. I think unilateral disarmament in the face of powerful new tools is neither wise nor effective. I think those of us in tech have a particular responsibility to engage, participate and build better solutions. charitydotwtf.substack…

i wrote a piece on sunday about engineering discipline, and i was thinking about how it looks when applied to nondeterministic systems ... how how they may change or evolve. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-demands...
