In reply to a developer on one of the Linux kernel mailing lists, Linux creator Linus Torvalds firmly put a foot down to push back against anti-AI comments.
The effects of technology do not occur at the level of opinions or concepts, but alter sense ratios or patterns of perception steadily and without any resistance.
This is a nice one.
And I see it happening right in front of my eyes at work.
‘How it is used’ will defer by the individual and specially for new tools, there will always be a generation of suffering.
Project Management, Jira/scrum etc had one (I’d say, still ongoing for most workplaces, that haven’t figured out the correct match). This one will too; probably more of it.
oh I thought this “one generation of suffering” only happens in me country! It happens in here for non technical stuff. When some new stuff gets widespread in me country for the first time, a lot of people misuse or abuse it. An example is telephone. Another is Internet itself. And lately, coffee has become widespread in here(Iran) and people don’t know when to have an espresso and how many espressos per day is fine. There was a guy “I take 5-6 espressos per day and I’m fine”.
In a similar way, many people spend too much time on social media rather than doing something productive.
There was a doctor who said to me, “computer games can be addictive”. This was after I told her I play games, so she was pretty much implying that I was getting addicted. This was when I hadn’t played for over a month due to lack of time from my 9 to 6:30 job.
The same doctor bragged about how she couldn’t go about her day without drinking coffee right after waking up.
She said those 2 things within the same 5 minutes.
What’s the problem with addiction? An addiction is bad if it harms you. I am addicted to espresso, me family, me little cousins, me dear close friend, the spaghetti me mother makes and so on.
