Remain on the sinking ship or hit the iceberg.

nishio I’ve talked to a lot of people, and I write what I vaguely think without evidence, but I think that PCs were born and “things that are supposed to have PCs” were born, pushing away things that were designed before PCs, I think that just as the Internet was born, and the things that were predicated on it were born, and the things that were before it were pushed out, so the things that are predicated on AI will be born, and the things that were designed before AI will be pushed out.

- Nishio examines the transformative power of technological advances such as the PC, the Internet, and AI. - We observe that each time a new technological advancement is introduced, the social paradigm shifts and the old ways become obsolete. - Not exactly. - The optimal path changes as constraints, starting points, etc. change. - As the ideal and actual reality change, the path to the ideal changes.

nishio I’m curious about the line that someone else said in a completely different context, “stay on the sinking ship or you’ll hit an iceberg.” - Finally, it gets violently worse. Then I was trying to choose between the two.

• This could be a sinking ship that stays behind or hits an iceberg.
• We should switch ships.
