You don't need to control people if you can control machines. Once AI is there, society will fundamentally change. I would assume that in hundred years, people will spend most of their time in virtual worlds. Would it be important what

Automatic scoring doesn't help with selecting the interesting content. The answer to manipulated scores shouldn't be no scoring, but better scoring. Where is the interest in a public scoring/voting infrastructure that highlig

What's the best way to access those micro-blogs? Those micro-blogging tools make it easy for the writer, but at least for me, the content is not easy to follow. It's Facebook vs Myspace to the extreme: every blog has a different i

How would one start an image hosting service nowadays? Are there any big obstacles? E.g. would it be necessary to have moderators or is it possible to just react to DMCA takedown notices? I don't see why Imgur doesn't have to face

VR only underdelivers when compared to full emergence. You don't need a television when you have a VR headset. I think that Meta's headsets will be the the consoles for the next generation because TV sets are not a given anymore.

Wouldn't this be a good match for BitTorrent distribution? The data will be updated regularly and then, all participants will be online and able to share their bandwidth while they download the new frequencies.

The main point is not whether it's free or not but that the main page is a landing page. If you visit Reddit, you immediately see content, you are one click away from reading comments. Registering is optional and comes naturally when y

The controlled experiments are in the trading. The market validates the model, not the peers. The scientific mindset is there, but not the publishing because the publishing destroys the value of the model. Once your model is known, others t

Increase the taxes until you can be grateful that somebody spends that much just to be heard. Why should taxes not solve negative externalities? If they don't solve it then they are just too low.
