"The biggest thing that I've seen... is actually not so much about how human-like Ai-Da is, but how robotic we are. The algorithms that run our systems..." @AidanMeller about art from robots. Percepts precede precepts, art precedes science
More than once, inheriting a team, I was told I needed to manage out known underperformers.
Every time, what I saw was that the designers were capable, talented. But they were working in a suboptimal context.
Improving the environment improved the work.

(where fewer accidents is better) 👀
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be in a Tesla.
