#ScalingPeople is written by #ClaireHughesJohnson, a tech-industry veteran who spent more than a decade at #Google before joining #Stripe, a digital-payments unicorn, as its chief operating officer in 2014. By the time she left that role in 2021, the firm had gone from 160 employees to over 7,000. In a world of coders, creators and visionaries, her work was to make things work.”

#DashaKiper writes about #dementia and #caregiving and identifying with the narrator of #Melville's #Bartleby. In #FindingtheRightWords, I write about identifying with Bartleby in that for a very, very long time, I preferred not to look at my father's #Alzheimer's. My dear friend, co-author, #neurologist, and empath #Dr.BruceMiller helped me look. He looked with me. My father died many years ago, but it remains extraordinarily hard and painful to look. https://lithub.com/what-melvilles-bartleby-the-scrivener-tells-us-about-memory-loss/ #EndAlz

Some used a #model whose #logic could be interpreted; others used a model that was more of a #blackbox. Workers turned out to be likelier to overrule models they could understand because they were, mistakenly, sure of their own #intuitions. #Workers were willing to accept the #decisions of a model they could not fathom, however, because of their #confidence in the #expertise of people who had built it. The #credentials of those behind an ai matter.”

525 followers · 787 posts · Server zirk.usThe preface to #FindingtheRightWords, a #memoir I wrote with #neurologist #Dr.BruceMiller, is available at the link below. It's about sitting #shiva (needing to sit shiva) a second time, many years after the first time because #dementia -- and the weight of #grief -- made #remembering and telling happy stories of my father's life impossible. There's some #Yiddish in there which always makes me smile. Some #Bartleby and #Ginsberg, too. #EndAlz https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-Words-Story-Literature/dp/1421441268/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=weinstein+and+miller&qid=1661472715&sr=8-1&asin=1421441268&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1

"I would prefer not to."
How many times have we been saved by this attitude? Noam Chomsky mentions a Russian Submarine commander and a USA #MaceMissile captain in #Okinawa come to mind. #AlmostExtinct #NoNukes
