I have a long train ride [New and required course ā€œInformation Iā€ useful for work

I started doing data analysis and probability statistics in my first year of high school in 2012. Information education has been offered in high schools since 2003, but programming education has become mandatory since 2022. Without learning information, there is no modern business. - Overwhelming lack of awareness among high school teachers of the demand for IT in the corporate world

Actual problem

  • I can solve this now, but I didnā€™t get the education in high school to be able to solve this.
  • Around 2030, having this knowledge will be the norm.

nishio Iā€™ve been reading a book by Izakodon, which talks about how having knowledge equivalent to an IT passport will be the norm by around 2030 (p.27). In addition to that, it seems that instructions to AI assistants using that knowledge will go through easily.

nishio There is a big difference between perceiving things as a single value or as a distribution of values, and people who can distinguish between the two will say, ā€œOf course. Those who canā€™t distinguish between the two donā€™t even know what this statement is talking about. Until now, I had given up on the idea that most people donā€™t understand it, but now this is going to be made compulsory in high school education?

nishio Talking about making a jig made of software for a job, until recently the ā€œhow to make itā€ was programming. However, with the advent of InstructGPT, it has expanded to natural language. So, itā€™s not that we donā€™t need programming education, but we need the skill to understand ā€œwhat is possible as instructions to the computerā€.

nishio Some people who give instructions to AI assistants and share the results may say, ā€œIf I give such poor instructions and get angry that the results are not what I expectedā€¦ Itā€™s your fault for giving bad instructionsā€ or ā€œI got a good result! but thatā€™s N=1 and itā€™s probably just a lucky punchā€.

nishio Comparing exponential growth to linear growth, the latter appears to be in decline

nishio agility is ā€œtheā€ source of competitiveness, not ā€œan area that appeared to be, and players who noticed it early enough to make the right play by making the right playā€. Now OpenAI+MS and Google are competing in an equipment industry like steelmaking to see who can produce ā€œnew industrial ironā€ in high volume and high quality.

nishio First there was ā€œrice,ā€ and then the expression ā€œrice of industryā€ came to be used for steel and semiconductors. So a new axis is emerging in that ā€œrice of industry.

nishio Agility through personnel transfers, or to break it down a bit more, there is a ā€œchangeā€ created by the movement of people, and there is a transaction between the company and the employee, whereby the company benefits as an organization by entrusting the right to pull the trigger (in exchange for the employeeā€™s satisfaction) to the company. The company and the employee are making a deal whereby the company receives organizational benefits by giving up the right to pull the trigger (in exchange for the employeeā€™s satisfaction) to the company. On the other hand, there are companies that give up the right to change personnel. - You should decide for yourself whether to transfer or not.

nishio Do you think the market will make the appropriate adjustments if you let go or not? Either way, the basic premise is the distribution of information for the market to function efficiently. Internal information distribution is important, and activation of information distribution across organizational boundaries is also important in order to quickly procure resources that are not available within the company from outside.

nishio Oh, same story on p.44

nishio In the DX Report 2, METI itself makes the definition of DX, itā€™s different from the ā€œ2025 cliffā€, but many people only read the former. p.51

nishio advantages and disadvantages of collective efficacy, its compatibility with Japanese-style membership employment, and turning a blind eye to failure by thinking we are winning. ā€¦The Nature of Failure kind of thing.

nishio Weā€™re up to the figure on the topic on p. 59. I saw this on social media and thought Iā€™d have to read the diagram to see what context it was in before I could make a tweak, so here I am. image

nishio talking about this New and required course ā€œInformation Iā€ useful for work. image

nishio This diagram is a simple depiction of the changes in the world, and itā€™s not wrong as a ā€œstripped downā€ version, but thereā€™s something about it that I think is too stripped down. That is, the ā€œpeople who were in the middle layer in the upper figureā€, who are the assumed readers of this book, disappear in the lower figure. - Where have all the white-collar workers gone? nishio The purpose of the book is not to tell them to go away because they are no longer needed. The systematization is not 0/100, but a transition over time, and those people will ā€œmove onā€ in the process, but I feel that this is not conveyed.

nishio So where do we move to:. 1: System development (which leads to the story from the beginning of this book that ā€œprogramming education is now mandatoryā€) 2: Work on the ā€œinterface with the worldā€ part that is not directly systematized (lower part of the figure) 3: The role of extracting and propagating information by entering the ā€œknow-howā€ arrow
