Дядя приехал ко мне пожить на две недели, пока у него меняли трубы.
Какая же жиза!
Дядя приехал ко мне пожить на две недели, пока у него меняли трубы.
На второй день попросил добавить его в чат нашего дома.
- Зачем?
- Там про воду пишут.
Про воду там пишут только когда ею предлагают облить соседей.
Но добавила.
Первые сутки он молчал. Читал. Иногда спрашивал:
- А эта с шестого всегда такая?
- Какая?
- У неё любое сообщение начинается с "Уважаемые соседи", а заканчивается уголовным делом.
На третий день в чате снова обсуждали пакет с мусором возле лифта.
Теория глупых заборов
Многие знают теорию разбитых окон. Если в доме разбили одно окно и его никто не вставляет, окружающие понимают: всем пофиг. Потом бьют второе, рядом появляется мусор, а через некоторое время район выглядит так, будто порядок отсюда съехал, не заплатив за коммуналочку.
Но мне кажется, нашему нормотворческому сословию полезнее было бы знать другую теорию. Назовём её «теорией глупых заборов».
Допустим, между домом и остановкой двадцать лет идёт удобная тропинка. По ней ходят все, потому что люди вообще обладают странной привычкой передвигаться по кратчайшему пути.
Академическая смелость - это...
Академическая смелость - это не "бросить вызов современной науке и гордо плюнуть в портрет Эйнштейна". Это не "пойти наперекор всей научной традиции и взломать понимание о мире". Академическая смелость - это готовность признать свои ошибки и критически рассмотреть свои прошлые труды.
Мечта о миллионе оказалась гораздо убедительнее гражданского долга.
Когда-то тайваньские торговцы имели простую и понятную привычку не выдавать покупателю чек. Нет чека - нет официальной продажи. Нет продажи - нет налога.
Власти придумали гениальную вещь: превратили каждый кассовый чек в бесплатный лотерейный билет. На чеке печатался номер, а раз в два месяца государство разыгрывает призы. Чтобы участвовать, ничего покупать отдельно не требовалось: достаточно было не выбросить чек за лапшу, носки или зубную пасту.
И произошло маленькое экономическое чудо. Покупатели, которые прежде равнодушно уходили от прилавка, вдруг начали строго спрашивать:
Жена лейтенанта Коломбо
Есть у нашего предприятия один странный клиент из Германии. Года три назад он приобрел оборудование. Первые несколько месяцев все было тихо и спокойно, а потом он позвонил в четверг вечером, загробным голосом сказал: «Агрегат встал, нужны запчасти. Я завтра срочно выезжаю к вам». На мое предложение отправить груз экспресс-доставкой немец ответил, что заберет сам, т.к. вещь ценная, и он боится за ее сохранность.
Без родственных связей в бизнес не влазий.

Not to mention that oftentimes the AI does work! See this quick article for an example: https://wasyaco.com/w/20260815
Would I have come up with this solution on my own? I doubt it. Does it save me time and improve efficiency? Absolutely.
AI is very powerful, and works better than ever, and continues improving. Sure, a lot of it is fraud, a lot of it is questionable, and even the best modern AI will try to ruin your codebase, if you let it. (A junior programmer would also ruin your codebase if you let him.)
Fundamentally, I believe the GPT architecture actually go it right. The way brain works, the way neurons work. Each neuron does integrals, and together they *predict*, anticipate something, and that anticipation is what builds the world around us. The "attention" mechanic that divides computation into key, query, value, seems to work so well. And arguably, there is no cognition outside language. GPT does very well with language, with plain text, and generating (and consuming) plain-text instructions. Amazingly, even if all GPT does is give you probability of the next token, this alone is so powerful, that it looks like cognition.
So yeah. We are at the very scary place where AI *is* becoming indispensable. Even in defending yourself against AI.
