MacGyver vs Sandy

Recordando "Há sempre uma alternativa!".
.
Quando damos uma oportunidade à arte e nos afastamos do repetitivo vómito industrial, entramos num mundo onde o homo economicus não funciona e, por isso, há mais lugares para muito mais gente.

É a alternativa que diminui este risco:
Como alguém disse: "Quando o que alguém faz se pode converter num algoritmo, pode ser codificado, pode ser convertido em linguagem-máquina e feito por um robô."
.
Mais do que um Do-It-Yourself, um Create-It-Yourself criará um mundo alternativo a Metropolis, e evitará o cenáriorelatado em "Is Growth Over?":
"Smart machines may make higher GDP possible, but also reduce the demand for people — including smart people. So we could be looking at a society that grows ever richer, but in which all the gains in wealth accrue to whoever owns the robots."

BTW, quando se confia demasiado tempo no QCD, e no deus Eficiência, acaba-se assim "Revival of Hitachi the Company Is a Detriment to Hitachi the City"
.
Recordar "The Human Factor"

"Work need not be the be-all and end-all. As Oscar Wilde put it, if all-powerful machines were “the property of all, every one would benefit by it.” Until then, the last bastion for human employment is likely to come from our cognitive strengths of flexibility and creativity, in finding new lines of work where computers replace old ones. Computers can create new things within an existing genre, but still struggle when it comes creating anything genuinely new, or even solving problems that that haven’t been specifically programed for. Anything that can be automated will, but where we can create new things, there still may be a niche for us to fill.

It’s not too early to start preparing for that future. Curricula that foster creativity—by developing children’s intrinsic motivation for originality, encouraging their intellectual risk-taking and cultivating their metacognitive ability to self-reflect—might be a good place to start."

"After all, what is intuition at its best but large amounts of data of all kinds filtered through a human brain rather than a math model?"

"Who is the artist?

The painter in front of a blank canvas. The architect changing the rules of construction. The playwright who makes us cry. The doctor who cares enough to call. The detective who cracks a cold case. The diva with a new interpretation of a classic. The customer service rep who, despite the distance and the rush, makes an honest connection. The entrepreneur who dares to start without permission or authority. The middle manager who transforms the key meeting with a single comment.

You?"
