the bitter lesson is to _let_ data and compute do the majority of the work, it's not to remove humans completely, but wherever possible

until there's actual enforcement, there isn't the incentive to tell the truth... It really is sad how much data has been captured and monetized of the average person. It seems like we're only continuing to turn up the heat as

So my interpretation of how Friedman drew his theories of market (and granted I'm no expert, just a layman reading things online) are about every business should optimize as much as utterly possible even if this results in exploitation

by therobot24 1y ago
optimizing business value in the manner perpetuated by Friedman assumes you know more than you do and can adapt to things because of that knowledge, ultimately no one can actually do this because the world is chaotic and difficult to anythi

IVAS is still too clunky and not worth the ROI to get that level of funding, expect it to get canceled unless congress greatly increases the Defense budget or changes acquisition practices
