The world is changing, as it always has. What is different today is the amount of change within a single lifetime is far greater than previous generations.
This is an exploration of technologies contributing to the compounding acceleration of change in the world, as seen through the eyes of a data and machine learning engineer who has been developing software for 30 years. The posts here are a subset of blog.infocruncher.com on which I post every few months.
“We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.” - Bill Gates, 1996 (back when there were only ~45 million people on the internet!)
“We are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth” - Vernor Vinge, 1993
