There are a couple of things that seem incoherent, but maybe I'm missing something:
- Is the only reason why he touches upon the limits of computation and computing efficiency that it secures distributed hash tables and that there is space for improvement in terms of energy consumption, respectively?
- It seems contradicting that he advocates biologically inspired systems and lowering entropy at the same time. Aren't biological systems even messier than current computer systems?
- Wouldn't the 'condenser' very likely require AGI to be of any use for us?
- XorNot 12y agoDNA is a posterboy for spagetti code. You have a function, it codes for a gene. Only then you have it's anti-sense translation, which can also code for a gene. And then you have post-translational processing, which takes that gene-product and makes into any number of other things. And then you have DNA binding proteins which effect readability, so that gene can code for a different gene when the normal start/stop codons are made accessible or inaccessible further up the DNA strand. And then the whole program also grinds to a halt if you remove any of the "junk" because the junk is used to control execution (translation) speed and inhibit the program from self-destructing (cancer).
