Computing Education, and Social Participation

Made my second Github PR today. Account created 2011. Chalk it up to a poor education and laziness. It is never too late to start. You only need a browser - not even an offline code editor. I recommend they teach this in primary school.

The future of AI governance

I see friends looking for non-technical trainings "on AI" for the board, and management separately. Good initiative. 

Hope they cover the root economic ontology. The mass media narrative on the fundamental nature of AI remain cluttered. It reminds me of many other "trendy X" domains, where ( arm-wavvy )

• - 70% do not concern themselves daily with X
• - 29% identify as X hipsters but don't have STEM fundamentals
• - 0.8% have STEM fundamentals in X but have no interest in trends
• - 0.2% of the pool that remains, not all have political / commercial interest 

So ... on the buy-side for talent, you are lucky if you are 

• (a) hiring with the right job-spec ( asking the right question ),
• (b) able to find the relevant hires.

Ancient situation : the 29% want to monetise the 70%, before society can develop a guardianship structure.

• - is this solved for war? finance? pharma? healthcare? food? education? nope
• - AI? not hopeful it will ever be solved fully :)

perkataan dan ontologi allah di Malaysia

Tuhan atau allah atau benda yang membawa pelbagai nama lain dalam bahasa kita, mempunyai ciri ontologi yang menarik. Bagi sesesorang, ia mecirikan manusia, bagi seseorang, ia langsung tiada ciri kemanusiaaan. Bagi seseorang, ia bukan apa-apa selain daripada manusia sendiri. Bagi seseorang, ia berciri LGBT. Bagi seseorang, ia adalah haiwan, robot, batu, mi, ataupun cuaca. Bagi seseorang, ia niskala tanpa kenyataan langsung.

Kita kena membahagikan kata-kata nama daripada rujukannya. Walaupun sesetengah kata nama ada sekatan penggunaannya dalam perundangan negeri dan wilayah Malaysia, contohnya dalam Enakmen Ugama Bukan Islam, sejarah peradaban sedunia tidak memberi monopoli bahasa ataupun gagasan kepada mana-mana pihak.
