i dont a human can create a system this complicated... i dont think we can even map it out. if it's done, it'd be done by AI and it'd be a black box. we couldn't create an autonomous car, we need ai to come up with million rules and parameters. same story here just order of magnitudes more complex.
Can't do it intentionally, but evolution can do it unintentionally.
Nature solved this problem of radical open-ended exploration through evolution. It takes a lot of time but in a single run evolution created all species and life on earth. Evolutionary methods also created AlphaGo, AlphaTensor and AlphaFold - three AIs that surpass all humans put together in specific fields.
Basically learning from massive search and problem solving outcomes - that's how you solve hard problems. And if you think about it, that's how science works too - so many papers, many contradicting each other or trying completely different approaches adds up to evolution in the space of scientific ideas. Any one human alone can't do it, but all of us over a long enough time can do so much more, diversity and open-endedness are key.
Don't forget that having a GNN (or perhaps Sheaf NN) model the system can allow decomposition such that an analytical expression can be extracted to explain the dynamics of the model quite well. This was shown via Cranmer et al, and continues to be a good way to find explanatory models that both interpolate as well as the NN and extrapolate past the provided data.
The US put the operator of a service called PhantomSecure in jail after he expressed willingness to sell phones to an undercover pretending to represent a drug cartel. A Canadian who started a similar service after PhantomSecure was shut down is also currently wanted by the US https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.casd.70... despite there seemingly being very limited evidence he was aware of criminal activity on his platform.
Precisely my feeling on this topic. We don't need scrum Masters, product managers and even most managers who are not technical. Too many people trying to have a say in something they have no expertise in. Basically software engineers are treated like a coding monkey.
Good luck handling software development, talking to customers, gathering requirements, aligning with other teams, doing marketing, writing budget requests - all by yourself.
pretty much what most PMs don't do exactly, they just take what managment says verbatium and just throw screenshots on top of another screenshot together without even bothering to properly account for most common states, research? user insights? etc.. it always goes like this: we made change x, our y metric increased. Waste of space.
That is what I find weird: when an Engineer spends the day fixing their PC or figuring out how to procure something. Assistants for that kind of stuff would be good. For small companies it might require a call out model rather than full time assistants.
That's me... I loved coding, I did it in my spare time. Then I got a job it's been downhill since then. I thought maybe I was a junior. Then I thought I was at the wrong company. Then I told him maybe I was working in the role or programming stack?.
But that's not it, I like writing code, I like refactoring code, I like debugging code but I don't like that it'd be held as a knife to my throat every day forever.
At my job there has never been a slow day. At one of my past job our manager had to go for 2 weeks and that was the most productive we had ever been. We shipped more , built more , collaborated more, and it all felt like a breeze.
Right now I feel as engineers we have been subjugated to being a coding monkey. You are told what to do, when to do, how to do and how much you should have done by now. You are monitored, of made to dance, and forced to be glad that you even have the chance.
I've spoken to people who have been in the industry for 10 15 years and they say this was not how it used to be
