You don't see that many, or any really, von Neumanns walking around so there's probably still significant room to improve with all the benefits of having intelligence neatly packaged in a computer.
- kurthr 3y agoEven if all the computers can do is ask the right questions and it takes a big research project to figure it out, that would be an improvement in productivity. I actually think it will come from the other direction. That people will get better at asking questions, because there is an automated tool that will build systems to answer larger problems than a single person could quickly answer.
- a_wild_dandan 3y agoYeah, imagine spinning up 100 von Neumanns to attack a problem. They can all instantly share their thoughts & new skills, coordinate, choose new exploration directions, and spend decades developing new tools -- all within moments after pressing 'Enter'. Even if our AI systems have only a minute fraction of von Neumann's intellect, we still have no idea what tomorrow will be like. I'm terrified and excited.
