HALO Effect
HALO Effect Originally shared by Noah Friedman This is how automation is probably going to kill us all: tell a computer to optimize for something and it will. (This observation is just a variation on the nanotech grey goo problem.)
Yes, well, but trauma, right? Wry detachment is a common coping mechanism. It shouldn't make you feel bulletproof, or give you permission to get slaphappy with the knife, but keeping doom at bay? Probably useful.
ReplyDeleteAlistair McHarg Well, it can be that. But some folks need to be told to relax. Just like some folks need to be told to get in the game, right? Balancing mindfulness and just being is a trick, not easily mastered. By me, anyways...
ReplyDeleteA Kevlar® vest always made me feel bullet proof. But then, so does scotch. #copingmechanisms
ReplyDeleteAlistair McHarg We originally had two steel plates wrapped in canvas - someone figured out that if we were subject to angled shot from the side, the round would keep ricocheting between the plates. A maudlin sense of humor can be a blessing . . . as with the win/win of manufacturing arms and vests . . . . or the Defense Department engaged in 'rebuilding' countries. Pass the Laphroaig . . . .
