The levels of cognitive failure

1. Ignorance

It’s impossible to know everything, so it’s ok.

2. Incompetence

You should know, for example, because it’s a part of your job, but you don’t.

3. Stupidity

You have enough facts, but make wrong conclusions.

4. Idiocy

You don’t have enough information, or your information is unverified, and you make conclusions. You treat these conclusions as facts, not as assumptions.

5. Conspiracism

Can AI replace employees?

Many top managers are thinking about replacing employees with AI. Unfortunately for them, AI can’t set up a mail server or even create a decent logo. But it can:

• make data-driven, not emotion-based, decisions;
• play the long game and don’t show staging fake growth at shareholders’ meetings;
• teach you how to motivate employees and how not to be a toxic boss.

So AI can easily replace some top managers.

Is ChatGPT useless for coding and DevOPS?

Yes, it is. It’s like a script kiddie which memorized all Linux mans by heart. And it’s dangerous because it looks like it understands what it advises, but it doesn’t. It has fundamental limitations by binary technology. And nothing will change till quantum computers become commercially successful.

Meanings of the life

Everyday level

Maximize the duration and quality of life for those you care about and for yourself.

Evolutionary level

Increase the survival chances and the quality of your offspring.

Population level

Make the biggest possible contribution. An Indian guy makes a 30-second video on YouTube showing how to fix a something. It saves someone one minute a day. Ten million people watch and use it. He has just saved more human life-time than he will ever live himself. The same, but more do doctors, teachers and scientific every day.

We don’t need countries and governments

Instead, we can:

1. divide government on functions;
2. assign each function to a commercial company;
3. allow consumers to make a choice.
