AI и токсичная документация

Массовое внедрение AI в работу менеджмента и экспертов формирует пузырь, который удивительно точно повторяет механику ипотечного кризиса 2008 года. Парадокс в том, что формируется он на самом видном месте. Эксперты, инвесторы, акционеры — все пристально смотрят в документацию компании (или института). Но качество документа не гарантируют качества экспертной информации, которая должна была отражаться конечным артефактом. Документ может быть "токсичным": логично выглядеть, но содержать ошибки, противоречия и. Read more

People who get inexplicably emotional when someone is unexpectedly kind to them aren’t fragile — their nervous system has a very specific expectation of how the world operates, and genuine unprompted kindness violates that expectation so completely that the body doesn’t have a prepared response and defaults to the only honest reaction it has left
