Amazon humanises computer jobs.

Amazon has introduced the Mechanical Turk named after an 18th century hoax. Business Week thinks "it could have great potential for tapping into the wisdom of crowds" Exactly. Amazon are asking the hordes to help them complete tasks that are necessary for a computer to proceed. At every level the big web companies are probing for opportunities to turn in new directions as they continue to look for new growth. Some get it. It's now all about how we organize our intellectual efforts. Attention. Identity. Knowledge. Interests.The Amazons, Googles, Microsoft's are now working these areas as hard as they can.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey, together with others who provide consulting services via Perceptric Pty Limited, post thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Perceptric Thinkers are available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counter-intuitive insights into problems.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
