I find the military origins of compute and AI are important, but overused, and I am compiling list of others:

- Babbage difference engine was managing slaves.
- Turing Test is entirely based upon lying.
- ML images was trained on criminal records.
- LLMs was trained on the toxicity of Reddit.

@getambassador But I'll definitely push back on the left behind bit as I see outsourcing practices your teams should have strength in ensuring your company is left behind.

@getambassador Sure ping me at [email protected] and we can figure out if your podcast or mine. In the mean time I'll work on some of my argument against why. Look forward!! Thanks -- always love lively debate.

@getambassador Additionally, it is just a much. more costlier approach than traditional artifacts and templates -- without that much gain.

@getambassador The austerity you are pointing to exists because of how previous tools are applied--AI is just accelerating that. The previous rounds of tools were applied in just the same way -- with external vendors believing it was solution, which was improperly applied by leadership.

@getambassador Well said, from the outside-in perspective. But that won't be how it gets used inside the enterprise. While your intent and belief is not to replace expertise it is very much seen as THAT within the enterprise. "adapt to new context, enforce standards, and avoid replicating previous errors" happens with the previous / current approach, but experts can also collaborate around context, negotiate standards, and understand previous errors.

@getambassador Sorry, not sold. What is the distinguishing characteristic that makes AI-driven boilerplate code automation over the existing boiler plate artifact and other template code generation? I'll give you a hint -- expertise.

@carpetbomberz I saw the writing on the wall, but didn't want to believe what I was reading.

@carpetbomberz Ahhhh the good ol' bad days.

@carpetbomberz Ha! Haven't hear that song in a while. Thanks Eric!

After experiencing the line of questioning about drug use in the clearance screening for working at the White House personally and the historical zero tolerance policy towards even minimal drug usage, I am guessing there were some pretty messed up situations in the 1950s and 1960s that resulted in that screening process. I don’t think what we are seeing right now is new, it is just really out in the open, where earlier ones were probably covered up like what the CIA was doing.

Currently negotiating with a high Rottweiler who is on pain meds regarding why we can’t take the usual morning walk to the park. She is pissed!

@cogdog Thank you! <3
