The Missing Middle Finger
WILL KILL US ALL.
by: DAVE CRANE
Cool title?
Well, it's not as cool as Ex Machina AND it's just
about to become 'a thing'...
And here's why...
Have you heard of the 'uncanny valley'?
It's okay if you haven't but it will soon become a
household phrase like wifi, tweeting and likes.
Uncanny valley is the definition that when we get
closer to having human-like robots there is a 'not-
quite-right- eeriness about them which creates
revulsion in some people.
Like Caitlin Jenner but in the world of robotics.

Apologies for the above cheap gag.
So I believe that there is a business problem about
to become more prevalent in the coming years that
may well, if unchecked kill us all.
I'm not joking now.
Let me explain...
Point One
In the business world, you have experienced older
mentor/coach managers whose role is encouraging
the next generation to learn and grow into their
jobs.
Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
They become like surrogate parents constantly
reminding, encouraging and occasionally pointing
the finger of accusation when necessary to make
the whole company work efficiently and profitably.
Are you with me so far?
Good.
Point Two
We are now moving into a world of greater
automation (cars, drones, online retail, banking etc)
and the first real replacement of humans with
artificial intelligence (A.I.).
There will just be less actual human involvement in
our day to day existence to save costs and become
more efficient.Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
But they can get things wrong if unchecked too.
True?
Okay, let's get to the third point then...
Point Three
Millennials are now replacing Generation X in the
workplace.
Fact.
Therefore 20+somethings with far less experience
are being employed and 50+somethings are being
sacked. It's harsh, unfair and completely driven by
economics. Millennials are different...
Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
1. They have very little financial baggage.
2. They don't want cars (Uber is better).
3. They don't want mortgages (cohabit, rent and
move on).
4. They don't want kids (they smell - it IS true).
AND
5. they don't want a job for life (their values
challenge the company to keep them engaged NOT
the other way round).
Stay with this...
Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
Each business which decides to lay off older and
wiser staff knows that the new generation are:
Less experienced.
More self-assured (EG cocky).
Won't be great at first until they 'grow' into the role.
But a darn sight cheaper to hire.
However...
THEY ARE ALSO REPLACING THE MIDDLE MEN (AND
WOMEN) WHOSE JOB WAS TO POINT A FINGER AT
THINGS THAT COULD/WILL/ HAVE GONE WRONG.
And here lies the problem...
Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
Visionary genius Elon Musk has already expressed a
worry that unless A.I. is kept in check, we could end
up with a global catastrophe very easily.
He states that when computers are allowed to run
everything if they can't feel and have common
sense like we do, they will just make logical
decisions that a rational human being would never
do because they are crazy and dangerous. Even
though on paper they are a solution.
For instance, if you asked a supercomputer to
remove spam from all emails, it could rationalize
that as all spam comes from humans, TAKING OUT
AND ERADICATING ALL HUMANS WILL SOLVE THE
PROBLEM OF SPAMMING.
It's bonkers, but it's also true in a logical kind of
way.Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
Albeit in a psychopathic, serial killer Charles
Manson, Ex Machina kind of way.
Now have you ever had an issue with a bank, a shop
or any organisation where they were 100% in the
wrong but didn't care less?
I've had plenty recently.
In the latest instance, their system got my bank
balance wrong and nobody wanted to fix it because
they didn't notice it, didn't know how or didn't care?
This problem will grow in the future.
It will also become pandemic as wiser heads are no
longer around to point their finger at likely errors,
rectify them and look after the customer's interests.
Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
Why? Because they are now missing.
Therefore we have a huge impending danger of the
MISSING (sacked) MIDDLE (mentor) FINGER (wise
older person able to indicate a problem).
And that ladies and gentlemen is probably how we
will all die.
I am copywriting the MISSING MIDDLE FINGER
THEORY right here.
Can you do that?
Well, I just have.
I am also having a nice cold beverage as I type.
Drink up guys, the next one's on me.
Hire DAVE CRANE - www.davecraneglobal.com
After that, we are all going to be very much on our
own...
Want more of me?
