Specification is hard because you are trying to predict a future state in a vacuum. You need to do that because creating the product is very expensive coding wise. If instead you c…

That's an interesting analogy. My gut sense is that theoretical mathematics requires a high level of intelligence versus more grounded domains. That may imply that deficiency in gr…

I didn't make the analogy to railroads. I'm just pointing out that its a terrible one if you want to use it to argue against AI.

So most people not wanting to hear sonic booms to benefit a small group of high wealth fliers is bad?

Wall Street: We're making the most money no matter the consequences. Silicon Valley: We're making the world a better place by making the most money no matter the consequences.

That describes all of human civilization and society. We pass knowledge and learnings to each other without needing to personally experience it. Language, writing, books, schools, …
