were you not your own boss?

So you cured me of my schizophrenia, but where am I, now that I need me?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I'm my own boss.
Doesn't mean I don't have to ask myself for permission and that I can't fire my ass for coming in late 
For real though, I had to sign some contracts with myself, like an employment agreement (for De Belastingdienst, the Dutch IRA)

"Woke up this morning, you were on my mind" - Seekers
Yeah I herd in when it was new. Yes I am that old.

Yeah me too -- also recorded by We Five around 1965 (were they the same as The Seekers?) Nanci Griffith also does a very nice cover.

Indeed, she introduced me to a lot of great songwriters (including herself).

I am probably wrong about the Seekers. It may have been "We Five".
I will try to google it.

You were right. It was We Five.

How do you ask your BOSS for a pay increase ?
My experience with the fellow has always been a nice guy

I found the solution to everything!
I mean, only government and economies and... not quite really, but I can point a finger somewhere!
In our "democracies" and "capitalist economies" (quote here since we know how imperfect they are) people can reward corporations/companies/governments with votes or money. People, while lacking a united front have an impact on the reward function. Meanwhile corporation/companies/government do what they want, competing fiercely for survival while trying to maximize their rewards.
You know what somewhat understood theoretical system behave just like that?
AI training, that's what!
AI has the same pitfall than our current government/companies/corporations in that it's hard to set a good reward that will ensure the system behave the way we want it to behave.
And, to be fair, this is still an open problem (i.e. not entirely solved), but we've learn some mitigation.
To summarize I believe AI hindsight can help us build better governments and economies, that do what we want them to do.

Except…. people do not want what’s good for society. They want what is good for themselves.
The megarich dont want to redistribute their wealth. The fat SUV owner dont want to own fewer cars. The shopaholics dont want to shop less. The youngsters hardly want higher taxes for the benefit of a growing elderly population.
It is just like programmin’: there aint no silver bullet.

It's Tricia McMillan!
There are times when I think that Arthur Dent (AKA the Sandwich Maker...) had the right idea.
More to the point, optimization of that sort works best when the data are not dynamic. If you have a system in which each point can move in the "solution space" in order to maximize its share of the resources, I have my doubts whether any static optimization function can work.
This means that you need an AI system that can dynamically change its optimization function - a meta-AI system.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
