I love Borges and his lucid hallucinations. As this story highlights, when a representation of reality (the map) ends up mapping reality one by one, the representation becomes useless. I see this as a warning for the progress of AI. When AI maps human intelligence one by one, it will be useless (or perhaps we will be the ones who will be useless).

An "accurate estimation" is an oxymoron. By definition, an estimate is imprecise. It only serves to provide an idea of the order of magnitude of something: will this work take hours? days? weeks? months? You can't be more accurate. And this does not apply only to software development.
