Crank It Up

 

As the AI Future Approaches

Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, the chairman and CEO of Sinovation Ventures, was asked these questions by some five-year-olds at a Beijing kindergarten:

"Are we going to have robot teachers?"

"What if one robot car bumps into another robot car and then we get hurt?"

"Will people marry robots and have babies with them?"

"Are computers going to become so smart that they can boss us around?"

"If robots do everything, then what are we going to do?"

When Things Slip Past

While preparing a Substack essay on organizational problems, I thought of the great John Lennon observation: 

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

I would add this: "The most dangerous distractions are disguised as something else."

That's a small part of my upcoming analysis. It should be out in a few days.
