The Puppet Conundrum by Astra Nova School

The Puppet Conundrum.
Alright, I’ve got a question for you. Imagine this.

The city of Novokyo is voting for their next leader. Interestingly, one candidate proposes something out of the ordinary…

If elected, they intend to be the puppet of AVONA, a machine intelligence specifically trained on data from the successes and failures of governments in human history.

In fact, AVONA will make every decision, no matter how small. The candidate insists that this is a good thing: according to them, AVONA is impartial and only focused on making Novokyo a better city.

So, would you consider voting for this AI-powered politician?

Option A: Team Yes
Option B: Team No

So where do you stand? Are you Team Yes or Team No?

not data not technical well I won't answer that for female

28:40
don't know but you know spend whatever time it takes working another job develop a working relationship with
28:46
someone to found a company with um I think not everyone has any desire to learn to code that's fine people
28:52
shouldn't but it's very hard from the data that we have to have a company with
28:58
no technical founders it's not impossible but it's a significant
29:03
headwind and there are all these reasons we've talked about you can believe them
29:08
or not it's certainly something that in our experience we've seen is true you know companies with no one on the
29:14
technical team have a much harder time getting the product build cheaply a much harder time hiring engineers because
29:20
it's hard to evaluator they want to work with a great technical founder so yeah my advice for anyone male or female is
29:27
to define the technical co-founder see"
