Good topic but I felt the types of disruption listed by the author were rather near term and short sighted.

Because postgres and postgis are awesome!

I migrated to them in 2005 (from mysql) and was amazed by how much happier I was. And it never cost me a dollar.

I loved it so much I visited its authors in Victoria and bought consulting from them. They are amazing folks.

In those images I see: - complete graphs (the triangle matrices) - incomplete graphs (the circular ones with only some segments conntected)

And those are excellent ways to visualize these types of objects.

He built knowledge graphs.

Its... cool?

Alternative would be: clone the repo, do your changes, run gitk to be sure.

Which has advantage that result looks exactly the same as it will in production (no new diagram type b/c only using git and gitk), with zero risk that sim differs from reality.

Wrong. No way they could scale using humans. Humans were used only for training data.

ChatGPT itself says all kinds of things; journalists using it as a source are either badly uninformed or purposely misleading readers.

How much of this would be fixed if you lived in the woods and did the same job remotely (which is my situation with similar work).

You might try lions mane, a mushroom that noticeably boosts my mental clarity.

Also, being older we have a lot more on our mind. So methods to help organize and focus are more useful than ever to me now. Take notes, keep logs, etc.

Sounds similar to what Google's SayCan is doing. https://say-can.github.io/

They taught it separate skills. When a situation arises, the skills (which you could almost consider sub-agents) compete to decide who is most likely to be relevant here. Then that skill takes over for a bit.

They also have a version called "Inner Monologue" in which the different parts "talk to each other" in the sense of collaboratively creating a single inner monologue, allowing for reactiveness/closed loop behaviour.

I interviewed 2 authors of SayCan/Inner Monologue here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/karol-hausman-and-fei-...
