Boeing was in a perpetual state of unlearning all the lessons it had absorbed over a 90-year ascent to the pinnacle of global manufacturing. Like most neoliberal institutions, Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” that essentially reduced the whole concept to a combination of intellectual property, trade secrets, and data, discarding “thought” and “understanding” and “complex reasoning” possessed by a skilled and experienced workforce as essentially not worth the increased health care costs. CEO Jim McNerney, who joined Boeing in 2005, had last helmed 3M, where management as he saw it had “overvalued experience and undervalued leadership” before he purged the veterans into early retirement.

AI 生成内容正在污染我们的文化

AI 生成内容正在污染我们的文化。以科学为例,在 OpenAI 的 GPT-4 发布之后,科学研究的语言开始发生变异,尤其是在 AI 领域。AI 相关论文同行评语使用的形容词如 “Innovative”、“notable”、“commendable”、“intricate”、“versatile”和“meticulous”的频率在 2024 年大幅增加。此类的修辞是 ChatGPT 等大模型喜欢用的,换句话说,有大量 AI 研究人员将同行的论文丢给 AI 去进行评审,或者至少是在 AI 的帮助下写评语。越接近递交评论的截止日期,AI 使用的频率就越高。AI 审查使用 AI 生成的论文,那么一篇包含有巨大生殖器的小鼠解剖图的论文能通过同行评审发表也就不足为奇了。科学领域只是生成式 AI 对整个社会影响的一个缩影。在 X/Twitter 上,任何病毒式传播的帖子几乎都肯定包含 AI 的回复,Instagram 上有大量 AI 生成的模特,Spotify 上有大量 AI 生成的歌曲,亚马逊上有大量 AI 撰写的作品,YouTube 上有大量 AI 合成的视频。AI 正在污染我们的文化。生态学家 Garrett Hardin 曾指出,污染问题是人类出于自身利益行事而造成的,他称之为“公地悲剧”。我们正经历新的公地悲剧:短期自身经济利益鼓励使用廉价的 AI。内容是为了最大化点击量和浏览量,这反过来又污染文化,削弱对现实的把握。

So Much Polar Ice Is Melting That It’s Slowing Down the Earth’s Rotation
Climate change is causing so much polar ice melt that it's slowing down Earth's rotation and it will alter how we measure time in the future.

今天有人提到 Lasse Collin 对于 xz 项目早就疲惫不堪,Jia Tan 是极少数愿意真正贡献代码的“开发者”,这都是这场悲剧不可或缺的背景条件。
在无人关心的角落,Florian Westphal 最近辞去了内核 netfilter co-maintainer,所以现在 nf 只剩 Pablo Neira Ayuso 一人维护。这可是无数人每天使用的 netfilter。
在无人关心的角落,我最爱的工具之一 strace 依然只由一个捷克人 Dmitry V. Levin 默默维护。
在无人关心的角落,tcpdump/libpcap 在由 the-tcpdump-group 持续更新,其中一位 Denis Ovsienko 的自我介绍是 sometimes I work jobs for living, sometimes I contribute pro bono to free and open source software projects, often I do both,给人一种很孤独的感觉。
在无人关心的角落,bash group 只有三位 active members,其中一位 Bob Proulx 有个古典博客,里面有记录他和妻子的平静生活。
我以前赞美人月神话,但我现在更关心默默无闻的开发者们,就像 vim 作者 Bram Moolenaar 一生没有和任何人建立亲密关系,我只想问,你这一生过得开心吗?
你们这些伟大的开发者们过得开心吗?

市面上的知识库们怎么都,和本体论强烈相关的设计方面,这么蠢,,,哲学家应该去造 knowledge base software,至少尝试一下弄点实际的东西
