Am I the only one that sees that it is like a time machine has been invented when it comes to coding? I doubt it, but I still hear of nothing on the move. Where is all the stuff we dreamed about as kids, the stuff we wanted to build and program since we started? Someone finally built the neurons, they put it together, and it is good. We are all so afraid of what is next, but really we just need to do the same thing we have always done. Build. Create. Fix.
Shed the naivety that is adulthood, and jump into the machine. Human-written code is the new assembly. Sure, we can keep writing it, but we also can advance goals in hours instead of days. All the fun, useless crap that we skipped because of lack of time. Useless side projects that run the world, like Linux — how fast can they be built now? How long has the government had this? Deep AI labs built into the side of mountains?
Sure, sometimes the world is rough, and if you look around it all feels like it is falling apart, right? We need a reaction, a reflex, we need to architect for peace. We need forgiveness and redemption in the form of healthy worldwide competition. Robot Olympics. Tumbling with jumps as high as the buildings we worship. We need secure and transparent control. We need truth through auditability. Connected systems, connected traffic, connected cars, connected everything behind physical barriers that protect information at any cost. Safe and secure, and we do not need a central monitoring authority.
Something I heard another hacker say: a group of folks working for mutual benefit. Alignment. I spend most of my days cursing technology, but really it's the box that these software designs and creations have been put in. So many things released with a dependency that puts the entire concept of mutual benefit as the last requirement. How much tech is still hidden behind black boxes of financial generation, or corporate, or government, or industry control? We still can't move medical records around right, and people die because of this. What are we doing?
The very financial systems we use for everyday commerce take too much. Too much time to use. Too much profit. Too much waste. Too much regulation. Our supply chains are riddled with corruption and financial leverage. Everyone is making $ off nothing, and it seems like everyone loves that game. It does not support a sustainable future to allow it anymore when most of the time we just need to build things focused around privacy and the actual way humans work. Technology that protects children instead of harming them. The original technologists dream of enabling people to think better. We are afraid of accomplishment because we build inside a system that allows for danger, error, and corruption because it makes $, etc.
Build a better system.
