> I could imagine all sorts of wonderful things, but being able to imagine something is not a reasonable basis for expecting it to occur I think you overestimate the difficulty of exploiting our sense of novelty.

Obviously, it’s easy to imagine a big increase in spam. But can you imagine if the content became reliably very good? What if every new thing you read was more interesting than any other thing you’ve ever read.

This will probably start off quite bad, but conceivably it could get to be very good.

> There is absolute no way "News Nation" is going to get enough dedicated subscribers to subsidize their reporting. That’s exactly why there should be a Spotify for text.

by dqpb 4y ago
There is also the Spotify model, where a subscription gets you access to everything, and publishers get paid for what’s read.

Doyne Farmer, and in general the field of complexity economics, is big on agent based economic modeling.

“AI” for prediction from historical trends is not very interesting in my opinion. Much more interesting is complexity economics with agent based simulation.

Why do any stores maintain a presence there?

Exploration is the Mother of Invention. Exploration increases failure. The opposite of Exploration is Exploitation. Exploitation minimizes known failure, at the cost of also minimizing invention.

I'm not requiring specific physical processes, I'm asking for any physical process in a hot iron bar that executes any model of computation that is capable of running an arbitrary program. But you're saying there is not one,

by dqpb 4y ago
Let's say you can initialize the first N bits of the hot iron to the initial state of your program. By what process does the hot iron use that information to compute the next state of your program?
442.
by dqpb 4y ago
A hot bar of iron can "compute" the next state of a hot bar of iron. It cannot compute the next state of any arbitrary program. Can I play Fortnite with nothing more that a hot bar of iron? No, I cannot! Not unless it's compi

Plants do move. They don't appear to move, because they move very slowly relative to human perception. When super-human AI is developed, it may perceive the world at a much higher frame rate than which we operate in the world, and we m

Wait, is the author actually claiming that a hot bar of iron can simultaneously run all possible computations?

I don’t know the answer to your question, but according to Wikipedia, 85% of the world population is religious. So really it’s a small minority that don’t believe in obvious lies.
