While I dont disagree, I put it to you that 'clickbait' techniques are easily arrived at by iterative testing; but are poor outcomes for the long term.
IE: I don't see an AI negotiating a multi year memorandum of understanding between companies based on "X did Y and you wont believe what happens next!"
Those will make money; but will they just cause stagnation/niche specialized behaviours that have less benefit to society as a whole?
Well... what if the form of reproduction is a lot more subtle than you would recognize? Meat people producing baby meat people is an outcome of evolution, but robots building more physical robots is the wrong way to think about it. Potentially, its more like github: the designs go out into the world and experience iterative improvement to the software. Sometimes, it forks. Sometimes, it rewrites because it has hit local maxima (aka legacy).
Thus the 'spits out ical' - if you can offer them calendars on phones, outlook, etc that's a compelling use case; and the is a chance the existing system can consume it
They have to respond by law; even if it takes 18 months and dragging then through the AAT - and the response will be fuel for ridicule if it (predictably) refuses in the grounds of being too hard
We just have to mercilessly FOI his private communications via encrypted channels, which he used to reclaim party leadership.
a number of folks have put forward that private encrypted apps would be subject to FOI.
Consider a simple online booking system, backed with google calendar or speaks ical. Importantly, something that lets their customers pick a time slot, send reminders, etc.
A number of healthcare providers locally do something similar; benefit to the vet is lower admin costs (answering phone etc), potential of online payment to secure the consult, and easy ways to reach their customers for follow up (vaccination reminders for example could be triggered by adding people into a mailing list package, email details gained at time of original booking).
Those are harder to build, but offer clear value and ongoing revenue ($1/booking fee x 5 vets x a year starts to make it look attractive!)
take a look at the city of geelong, victoria, Australia - they collected lidar data and opened it up, so got imported.
Many users are doing the same. We are a long way from Google maps 3D coverage; but is all open data.
In Australia also have addresses datasets as open ("GNAF"), and many industries tie back to that to do variius levels of building information modeling (BIM).
Feels like in 10-20 years those movies where they pull up the blueprints to plan a heist will be a reality.
Those will make money; but will they just cause stagnation/niche specialized behaviours that have less benefit to society as a whole?
