It's not "predicting" the future, it's "maximizing" the number of potential futures. In chess, the more moves you have available the better you are doing, generally. But another measure (probably better although I'm not a chess expert) is how few moves your opponent has available. Strictly speaking it sounds like this strategy would emphasize keeping future moves available for both you and your opponent. This is a more idealistic future for many real-world situations but I'm not sure I'd call it the definition of "intelligence".
- klipt 14y agoYeah, seems to me their idea can be summarized as "in the absence of a specific goal, keep options open". Which is generally good advice, but only "in the absence of a specific goal".
- scotty79 14y agoI think that's what is different between machine and life. Machine always has specific goal. Life never has.
