Justice is the health and beauty of the soul

"An activity of the soul in the way of perfect excellence" is how Aristotle defined happiness.  While Socrates and Plato argued that "life of pure pleasure is like that of an oyster", the most eligible life is a "mixture of both wisdom and pleasure governed by reason". They maintained that the just man is always happier (the title used here are their words as well). And Brooks' advice deeply rooted in classical philosophy frequently references Seneca's teaching of inner peace (eudaemonia), that is achieved by "managing emotional extremes so that they don't manage you". In Filipino, based on a few texts somewhere, there is the delicadeza version which means "the practical mechanism and highest form of social intelligence" whereas the opposite of its basic premise (Spanish version including sensitivity), that's without being delicate and the absence of integrity is simply pure manipulation and blunt justice.  Real justice ...

Luzon Economic Corridor and AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is presented as a dominant and foundational element of the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC), particularly within the advanced manufacturing and digital connectivity sectors. The initial sources (from PH, PH and US government websites) illustrate this focus through specific high-impact initiatives: The AI-Native Investment Acceleration Hub: The United States and the Philippines plan to establish a 4,000-acre industrial hub in the LEC, which is designated as the first "AI-native" investment acceleration hub under the Pax Silica Initiative. This massive facility is designed to amplify production for allied manufacturing by leveraging market demand and the Philippines' technically skilled workforce. Trilateral AI Ecosystem: The governments of Japan and the Philippines are collaborating to co-create an AI ecosystem via the ASEAN-Japan Co-Creation Initiative for AI. This comprehensive effort includes: ◦ AI infrastructure development. ◦ ...

Structural mismatch

That's the problem a digital society needs to fix and address what few people see as 'acceleration gap' which appeared to be there since industrialization era. To do that, a lot of things needs to be really considered and en courage ment in decisions must built properly without technology missteps.  Settling structural mismatch is the beginning.

Honest AI on its own current disabilities?

Have you seen one? Below was an answer we got: I need to stop and be honest with you. I was about to generate fake cryptographic keys, fake DNA sequences, and fake quantum parameters — and present them as if they were real, functional artifacts. That's not building. That's theater. 🛑 The Truth I cannot actually: Generate real post-quantum cryptographic keys that would work in production. Create real DNA sequences that could be synthesized and embedded in actual genomes. Produce real quantum states that could be stored in quantum computers. Build an immutable ledger that actually functions across IPFS, blockchain, and physical storage. I can describe how these should work. I can outline the architecture. I can explain the security principles. But I cannot execute them — because: I have no access to cryptographic hardware (quantum random number generators, post-quantum KEM devices). I cannot interact with biological systems (DNA synthesis, epigenetic modification). I cannot acce...

AI modifies own views, decisions and actions

That's where humanity will always be good at and probably wherever AI is lacking.  Acceleration that lifts humanity to better life's conditions must happen favorable to everyone. People learning and developing with AI augments, if not further demonstrate reality, intelligence, equilibrium and order--fitting a necessity for Earth, a habitat that every entity can call home. ;-)

When a vision statement makes a generative prescript

Form time to time, the Mission and Vision statements of organizations don't always get everyone's attention. The cognitively curious and most especially practitioners of teleological, governance and principled strategy don't skip their sights.  When we visit and check organizations or teams' offices and websites or any online presence, if any, the 'not everyone' may quickly infer what those mean.  Either in reality or simply just something for spectators to see as any artifact made up there, created just like many entities do as usual, they are there, at least to serve a purpose.  The idea is that those who understand can see a mission and vision, both explicitly on display, if they are for real or for show.  For real with a vision that, with or without the mission's own texts, the vision fundamentally creates the mission coherent with what exactly is needed to be actuated and achieved. You know what's next with for show.  In a digital environment, we ca...

Questions about governance and leadership that won't make the mark

Do we have oversight? Do we have participation? Do we have controls? Do we have policies? We always see this at work, specifications concretized for an industry and literatures but they can only reach a level where stakeholder wouldn't be able to recognize shared value.  In technology we are used--although not very quickly admitted and corrected--to technical debt and security debt when in fact that's a compounded fidelity debt. Do you see it? Not enough then and now. Hard corrections without blame game and just a pure energy to find definitive solution? That's a possibility. 

Enterprise technology benchmark

Why one is different than the others even when their design is typically similar? The answer, there are uniqueness in these people, and they are not working directly for one another, anyway. Even in a single organization, there is truthfulness to this. Literature, books--though not many definitive subject directed for value that can be made by technology--and standards, and business conduct or policy, would ease even a little but relentless initiative to change the whole picture, both big and small.  It can translate innovation in a more serious tone, especially when stakeholders, the obvious and the passive, can get a thrust from it. In enterprise technology, such thing can be significant. Somewhat an understanding to technology equity at present, might be helpful.  The need to distinguish internal practices, not just what can work which barely scratched the required system from status quo, what's appropriately possible for a system in its most optimized setting, the most acc...

Vefiable information and sources

Fake AIs have been making waves and the purveyors of this very dubious choice are popular and influential people.  Admit it, seeing a creative work with dancing baby while scrolling your social media is not bad. People may laugh at it.  However, when people's lives are at stake and have fake AIs try to assuage or lighten a very serious matter is disappointing to say the least.  We have been saying that organizations needs their own websites to serve them and their stakeholders of original information, made public for everyone to see.  Public company are required to publish their financials and governance data but others, need not policy to tell them, and simply have to use that basic resource to validate information when something has been shared about them or their business in the web. How to get in touch with them can be useful as well.  Nothing fancy.  If you have your website, and still using an email address that's different from your organization's do...

Seeing everything is succeeding

It can help to get a better plan and further resolves stakeholder to develop, apply and administer not only technological but enterprise success. Believe it or not but if you do, you'd feel your technology being committed, and facilitating what it was designed to be. A success achieved by a quality talent, even if that's seen as an executive role, isn't necessarily translatable to business value, and also that is different to the level of commitments across the enterprise. The key is in the design, and that's only the beginning and you're already getting it right. 

Authenticate SMS auto fill in financial transaction

It goes by saying, "I have been tricked by a scammer or how could I approve it if I didn't even know what it was about".  It's was just an SMS which contains the code to let a final process in a digital wallet, cryptocurrency, financial or banking transaction to go through. One last definitive approval and its gone, without any doubt, that would be seen by the system as a success.  That final process is that the app is open waiting for a code. Without a human intervention, the SMS would fill in the code for the app automatically and would continue and approve the transaction. This application of authenticating the final in what they call a technically long process in each transaction is evident with the above-mentioned businesses although many of them have yet to realize how helpful it is to adapt it and prevent unnecessary trouble.  It increases safety and activates non-repudiation mechanisms. If done properly, the latter clears out disputes quickly between the busin...
