@weeklyshowpodcast: Cory Doctorow offers an explanation of what happens when machines give orders to people verses when people give orders to machines. (7/29/26)
Also, when the bubble bursts, those of us left get to look forward to trying to figure out the shittiest code ever known to man. AI picks the weirdest most convoluted ways to write code, and I've seen old perl code.

Mike Brand :
Now apply this to war when AI is generating targets faster than humans can possibly keep up, resulting in the humans in the loop essentially being rubber stamps, influenced by confirmation bias and pressure from the top. There's no way humans can effectively cross-reference intelligence fast enough. So you bomb a girl's school in Iran.

Wouldn't a reverse centaur be a minotaur? It's not a perfect reversal, but close enough

I mean really capitalism incentivizes the machines to go fast enough to balance the marginal costs due to things like injuries with the additional production units created by exceeding a safer limit.

Silicon Valley ran for decades as "disruptors." They popped in and reorganized every industry they could get their hands on, for better AND worse. But the AI bubble is the first time that this tech sector is disrupting itself. It's not going to be a good time.

he said reverse centaur and for some reason I pictured horse legs on top and human legs on the bottom

books are great my friend but they are just imaginary. he is putting way to much on what is supposed to be a tool. worse offering no proper education on use of tools and their proper application with critical thinking in mind. he just doing what everyone else does. doom and gloom. it makes sense he writes science fiction

Because Amazon is bad at automation. It's one big R&D project that their customers are paying for

OMG. AI is trying to make people (coders in this case) peripherals. People should write the tests, review the code, and write super detailed documentation to feed the AI. And like you said, they should do it all faster because the conveyor belt wants to run as fast as it can, and is overwhelming. very much like Lucy and Ethel.
