Why not corporations? They would be owned by the market and compete against each other to offer best quality machinery. Of course you still have the leadership class of people that could be corrupt, but that can be solved e.g. by sortition

That perhaps it was already done before...

I've been thinking along similar lines on high level - this approach will likely be very general and can be used to create different kinds of media, as well as potentially behaviours in a later stage. https://metapresent.org

Hmm actually now i'm not certain which one of these I have. I'm a software developer and I have kind of like two different "address spaces". There is the normal visual + auditory address space. And there is the "int

Great to see these views are becoming more mainstream. The talk does not mention it, but it's likely convergent with neuroscience ideas of: - Bayesian Brain - Theory of constructed emotions ( https://www.youtube.com/watc

Oh interesting - thanks for the pointers.

This is a similar view to the emerging theory of Bayesian Brain, which views the brain as a system that tries to minimise the prediction error (which might be the same thing as "free-energy" in some related publications) by compar

Science has been sticking to that view since around Newton. But it's actually beginning to slowly change now, as time-independent physics might be a reason why our theories work very well in specific areas, but tend to break down in a

Yes. You might find interesting some very rated ideas as this article - Bayesian Brain. In this view, the brain is a complex system that learns to adapt to and predict its environment, similar to other complex systems like even companies.

Theories are now emerging that Universe is running one large bayesian learning algorithm (bayesian inference itself is proven to be an optimal knowledge creation method) See e.g. Bayesian Brain and Universal Darwinism

Indeed. This view is also compatible with the emerging Bayesian Brain theory

Yes, by visualisation of the future. There are many ways to do this, like meditation, or some substances. You basically imagine yourself in the future, having achieved some goal, or being in a situation that you like. This image has to be r

I wonder how this relates to Cosmological Natural Selection theory - the idea is that the black hole 'bounces' into a child universe, which inherits some of the parent characteristics. Perhaps the information finds its way there.

Resources? The real fight is now for people's minds. We already have orders of magnitude more resources than 100 years ago and almost everyone can benefit from them.

See Universal Darwinism for how it actually may have a goal.

This sounds quite in tune with some of Daniel Dennett's ideas also, especially from 'Consciousness Explained'. The gist is that our consciousness is only, and all, that we can say, or in any other way act on the world. So if

Even if we don't, the progress is not going to stop, for example on: - lowering the price of each chip - you can get that by more automation. - lowering the cost of energy used by a chip - you can have that by raise of renewable energy

Great to see you unveiled. Best of luck, i really look forward to having a real cloud-native way of developing software. Do you guys plan to support smart diffs for code reviews? As you work on AST level, it should be possible to detect som

But if something is spiritual, there must be some way for it to interact with the physical world, otherwise you would not know about it. Then that way can be measured, which makes it physical... Unless you are calling spiritual those things

This view is quite similar to the theory outlined in "The Mind Is Flat" book: https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Flat-Remarkable-Shallowness-Impr... which I can greatly recommend.

The closest data would be in the datacenter closest to the customer, not on customer's hardware. But I mentioned it to illustrate that the code already is location-independent a little.

I'm not sure if i understand their view on fundamental limitations - they don't seem fundamental to me: 1. It does not seem impossible to imagine a function that spawns code close to data, be it on a VM with a connected fast SSD d

I can recommend The Mind is Flat https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Flat-Illusion-Mental-Improvised-... which is more high level, but still seems compatible with this theory.
