If I write healthcare software, and a doctor orders the wrong drug that kills the patient, am I responsible?

You get to focus on the design, which (to me at least) is the REAL fun. Implementation itself is a tedious annoyance that I'm happy to leave to a bot.

If I produce a game/movie/book/song, regardless of where or in what format, I should be able to... dictate all the terms upon which I agree to sell it. You have the right to agree to those terms, or not.

In fact there's very good reason to think intelligence has much more room to be compressible - the human brain, for one.

>Even if they're a near perfect tool, we are still the interface between them and our lived experience.

Until they are embedded into automatons that can interact with the world.

(To be clear, I'm both on board with this, and I think it's the natural progression. Currently they are bounded by their training set, but interaction with the world is the imperative for theory -> test -> analysis -> update that is essential for growth and creativity.)

Does anyone else always read "Mistrial" instead of "Mistral"? Always think I'm about to read a juicy gossip piece, and let down when it's just a standard update on an AI company.

I was a small child at the zoo. I had lost my parents in the crowd, and was scared.

A nice black man (this was important because I grew up in a white neighborhood and hadn't encountered many black people before) knelt down to me and asked me if I was okay, if I was lost. They brought me to the zoo office where they called my parents.

I'll never forget how strange and different they were to the child me, and yet how kind they were in the sea of scary strangers.

I put that in the same bucket as my "right" to buy your house for $1.
