„If AI writing is pleasing and convincing, however, it is also unoriginal, often inaccurate, or both. People will therefore need their powers of discernment and comprehension more than ever. They will need to know what they think and how to make their own judgments. These are the exact skills that the use of AI threatens to erode. What’s at risk is nothing less than the ability to think for oneself. If...” 1/

„I haven’t even mentioned artificial intelligence yet.“
… we‘ve seen that one coming, I guess😉!
But I am really interested in what will be brought forward now… 🤓

„So here we are: healthy challenge, complexity, and connection are on the ropes, and it's all our own doing. And the more we do this, the more we sacrifice our "meta super-power": the ability to build new skills we need to handle the world we're so rapidly creating.“

The „Trends across the software craft“ section of Gergely Orosz's Craft 2026 talk are very well worth considering… because they should really give us pause:

„It is critical to rein in this modern oligarchy, and not just because we are at a precipice. This is the time to act because these leaders have one thing right: we have amazing tools at our disposal, and digital technologies could amplify what humanity can do. But only if we put these tools to work for people. And this is not going to happen until we challenge the worldview that prevails among our current global tech bosses.…“ 1/

„All technological change is generational change. The full power and consequence of a new technology are unleashed only when those who have grown up with it become adults and begin to push their outdated parents to the margins. As the older generations die, they take with them their knowledge of what was lost when the new technology arrived, and…“ 1/

“The harm lands on the balance sheet of society. It doesn't land on the balance sheet of the companies. And it takes time to see the harm. This is why we get sucked in. And the companies exploit that. […] Immediately print money on the product that's driving a lot of growth, hide the harm, deny it, do fear, uncertainty, doubt, political campaigns that's so merchants of doubt, propaganda…“ 1/

„Es ist schon einigen aufgefallen und das muss man in aller Ruhe sich mal überlegen. Im Grunde genommen, haben wir die Vorstellung, dass alles, was jemand tut oder sagt, begründet ist. Wie in der Physik hat jede Wirkung eine Ursache. Und wenn jemand was sagt, dann hat er ein Motiv dafür, was zu sagen oder Gründe. Das heißt, das Universum des Menschen besteht nicht aus Ursachen, das besteht aus Gründen. Wir haben immer…“ 1/

"Herbert Simon saw the core constraint in 1971: "A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention." Researchers at Caltech have shown that human thought operates at roughly 10 bits per second. Your sensory systems take in billions. Your conscious mind processes ten. Every communication technology in history has increased the volume arriving at that bottleneck. Not one has widened the bottleneck itself.“

„… resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happen so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.” /4

Well, well... I guess @baldur’s „Out of the Software Crisis" aged well:
https://mstdn.social/@alexthurow/113693205804225403
Now also with AI on top of it. Interesting times.

„Mara blinked. She wondered briefly whether burnout now came with hallucinations. The voice continued, “You humans are remarkable. You can split your minds into eight flapping pieces and then act surprised when they complain. But here’s the trick: systems have limits. Minds do too. And threads — mental or otherwise — get tangled when pulled in too many directions.” “What do you want me to do?” she asked. The voice…“ 1/
