Economics Nobel Prize Winner Sees No Singularity on the Horizon
- nabla9 8y agoSingularity would be a kind of scientific and technological network effect across different technologies. Each advance speeds up another. It's now clear that humans are the bottlenecks in this scenario. We learn new stuff at very low rate. Groups of people learn new methods and technologies even slower rate. There is huge increase of possibilities in statistical methodology. You can do causal discovery, probabilistic programming, machine learning... All these advances are adopted into different fields at very slow pace while many fields still struggle with p-values.
