Stop lying, Google.

 

Well, This is the motto. But Alphabet is not its follower.

Survival of the Fittest

Well, Darwinism suggests that the fittest survive. Now if we want the most fit people to survive as humans do, then why are companies such as Google building massive infrastructure as AI to de-fit the humans while messing with natural selection of evolution.

The surviving nations are not the brave or the most rich. They display humbleness and adaptability. Nations need to be interdisciplinary. Collaborating efforts on a massive scale. But what does that mean if we take new measures such as AI?

Will AI do more harm than good?

This question; only time will tell. What I know: for the people without fruit will be left behind but top 25% percentile, will not only survive but thrive. Let me confess for once. My advice: do an engineering degree on top of an MBA or a Law degree. Well that doesn’t mean it has to be that way. Personally, and I have never ever talked about this before except at this blog, I’m combining Psychology with history with language studies with Science with Islamic Philosophy(naturally) and yes with not only Tech(investing etc.) but Technology and coding. Not the 3 week coding bootcamp. But coding and programming on Pro 10,000 hour level. In Pakistan, our education system doesn’t make use of “laptops” to teach kids. We don’t have laptops in classroom. But we do have PCs in our home. Every single kid. I believe US is moving towards a lot of status quo.

If I look back, the very obstacles my country “gave” me became my biggest asset. I was not born super rich. What does that mean? I had time to study and develop my skills; financial IQ, mathematics, logic and a whole lot of human-level programming(object-oriented programming languages, meh?). I had nothing else to do other than watch other rich kids of my time. I was never ever envy. In fact If I felt any “self-pity”, my dad would always have me study the opposites. For example when everyone was debating as to whether have kids watch TV or not, my dad simply ignored masses and we as family watched HBO and other channels. He never ever restricted me except on occasions where it is meant to be. The result? I’m not a specialist. I’m a big big really big generalist. I can play football, but I can also play Badminton very well. I can cycle alone. But I can also run a staff of 50+ people through my software-related problem solving skills(I did one time). I can watch football and be never bored. I can play FIFA games and learn things from just playing digitally. I can talk to people. I can ask questions. I can write. I can cook, bake and fry(now I’m trying to learn steaming). I can draw beautiful anime girls on a sketch pad. I can create beats. I can capture breadth-taking photos. I can solve matrices with both Cramer’s rule and matrix inversion method. I can solve equations using substitution. I can write russian and understand it. I can speak German(very basic) ditto for Latin, Spanish and Croatian. But imagine if I was born in some wealthy middle-class family in somewhere around United States. Would I be a fraction of what I am? doubt it. But the moment I graduate from high school and very soon college, some Artificial Intelligence firm will hire me designing automated systems for doing very humanly things, I, did as a kid. The result? Wall E. people who are fat and obese. ZERO Extreme Ownership. Total dependence.

I don’t want to be this guy.

Is that where the world is heading. And If I help create the very world I despise, then I’m a hypocrite. I’m not a computer enthusiast but someone whose skills be used destroying the very world I love and live on. It’s uncertain.

Ich bin eine Pakistani. Meine Leben ist Pakistan. Meine Welt ist mit Pakistan. Alle von mich ist für Pakistan — Zu Alles der Pakistanis und das meine Welt.
