Building world's for environments where people prefer fictions, seems both, easier and in many ways also kinda better, given contexts, that boxing in the definition on non-fictions, whilst believing there's enough hygiene that it'll still support "do not harm". > > Timo. > > On Fri, 9 Aug 2024, 6:33 am Owen Ambur, <owen.ambur@verizon.net> wrote: >> >> I'm with Dave on this score. >> >> What I'd add is that we human beings should: >> >> a) help Augumented Intelligence (AI) agents do a better job of helping us achieve our objectives by rendering our plans in an open, standard, machine-readbable format like StratML, and >> >> b) expect them to return the favor by publishing their results in such a format, thereby enabling a virtuous cycle of ever-improving prerformance. >> >> >> From my perspective, failure to do as much is an example of artificial ignorance, and if we tolerate it, we'll have no one to blame by ourselves. >> >> I also agree that "good enough" systems won't need huge resources, and to minimize such waste, it will be good if politics and goverment can be kept out of the process to the greatest degree possible.

It is also safe in respect to the limitations of AI systems to grow their capabilities. Good enough AI systems won’t need huge resources as they will be sufficient for the tasks they are designed for, just as a nurse working in a hospital doesn’t need Ph.D level knowledge of biochemistry. >> >> Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> >> >> >>
