At least there is much missing data for human like intelligence. If human would be trained with same input data, I think he/she would not understand relationships.

Because we do not know what consciousness is, it is impossible to say if consciousness is computation or not.

we must not resist any idea about consciousness because it is very poorly known phenomenon. Anyone who argues that it is known if consciousness is computation or not, is just completely wrong.

In Finland, everybody and your mum has ”higher education”. Requirements are surely decreasing. Old academic universities are now vocational schools.

Whiteboards can be replaced by digital tools, but as far as I know, companies do not invest to remote work tools enough currently.

There are great tools, which should be available for every worker in home, but that does not happen for some reason?

The response is fast because Putin directly said that he is planning to conquer half of free nations in Europe.

All people in eastern Europe fear him and russians. We will do anything to stop the grazy wannabe-Hitler and russians.

True. My modest proposal is that we increase population at least to 100 billion (= 100 000 000 000) - or even more!

Number of people does not matter.

Exactly. Things are changing and it is not a bad thing if corporates try to be a change. Probably they fail, but even trying is better than doing nothing.

After many decades we still discuss and wonder how work amount estimates should be done and why they are always wrong. The most brilliant software engineers and project managers have developed countless different methods and nothing works.

For me it tells that nature of work is such that we just can not estimate work amounts. We are just pretending that it can be done.

Just 10000 years ago there was not ”work”. Before that people lived millions years with 100% free time.

We are still able to be free and decide by ourselves what to do during the day.

For some reason owners of Apple value Tim Cook worth of billions.

I am sure that if you can replace Tim Cook and work for 390$ per month, owners will happily fire Tim Cook.

How tens of millions people can escape underground or rivers? I think that there will not be space available for most of them.

Let’s say that we have an error in the requirement definitions. The error may make whole product almost useless.

Is it cheap to detect error from initial requirement specifications or when the product is in sales and nobody buys it because of the requirement flaw?

If we make wrong kind of products in a way or another, it is always very expensive.
