Waiting for the train home after 10 day / 700 km biking in Bavaria and Tirol. Should do that more often.

I propose a Public Intelligence, an AI commons owned by everyone, composed of billions of local AIs, needing no permission to join and use, powered and paid for by users, trained on all the books and texts of humankind, operating at the scale of the planet, and maintained by common agreement.

We (@swardley and I) just published a new installment of our Rewilding Software Engineering book.
We've now reached 3 chapters, each published as a post on Medium (links in the reply):
Chapter 1: Introduction
It's a shorter one, but it's where we spent most of the effort :). We describe the motivation and the intended audience (pretty much anyone having an interest in legacy systems) more explicitly. And we introduce the idea of reframing software engineering is being primarily decision making. Oh, and we explain the rewilding metaphor.
Chapter 2: How we make decisions
This is largely similar to what we had before, but rewritten (same arguments and case study).
Chapter 3: Questions and answers
This is a new chapter in which we talk about the role of questions and answers in software engineering and describe the case study from chapter 2 from the point of view of commoditizing answers.
We also introduce two new metrics:
ttA = time to answer
ttQ = time to question
Please do let us know what you think. We are looking for feedback both on the explanations and on the style.

Lots of people asking me about my view on bitcoin. It's the same as it was in 2013 - a spoiler for the future -blog.gardeviance.org/2013/11…

A new key skill is the ability to confuse the AI response to the point where it graciously permits you to talk to a human being.
