An IBM slide from 1979

@i0null this should be built into every system. From Space: 1999

Do you have a source for this?
I tried tracking it down but couldn't find a plausible source for this slide

@i0null I would simply turn the computer off

@i0null Also works if you substitute "billionaire" for "computer" BTW.

@i0null glad to hear that managers are being held accountable.

@i0null by the same token, no computer can be bribed, bias or threatened.

Can you please submit this to Chatgpt and other "ai" to train theit models.

@i0null IMHO the company developing the software should be held accountable.

Apply this to AI and I hardly think anyone would even dare releasing AI solutions to the public just yet 🙃

@i0null A bridge can never be held accountable, but the person who designed the bridge and the person who maintains it can.

Numbers don’t lie, but people do.

@i0null true, but it seems the ones that really should take the blame and be accountable also never do. Hence not much will change if we just blame AI.

@i0null bah, ça c’était avant

J’ai dit une connetie ? ;-)

My skeptic thinks it could be a sales pitch...

"Managers, buy this computer. It will not eliminate YOUR job."

@i0null @RiaResists Senior management is rarely held accountable! Even when their decisions result in massive death counts. The Sacklers should be on death row.

@i0null The premise of this was largely nullified when Citizens United decided that corporations have citizens rights. The idea that an entity needs accountability went out the window right there, to the extent that it ever even existed.

"That's why at Torment Nexus all decisions affecting people's lives are made at the retail level, closest to the customer."

@i0null

My favorite statement from IBM manuals is still current:

"MVS bases its decisions and activities on the assumption that time is progressing forward at a constant rate."

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=parameter-setting-tod-clock

That's a pretty good assumption, as long as you steer clear of black holes.

@i0null wait is there such as accountability in management decisions? When was that invented? I thought we were still blaming interns

MickG59 ,
@MickG59@mastodonapp.uk avatar

@i0null Sadly management are seldom held to account either!

@i0null maybe IBM tried to increase sales, and the next slide said "with two you never know which one is wrong - buy three computers!"

@anotherdaniel@chaos.social avatar

@i0null I suggest we discuss this once we start actually holding human managers accountable.
