Here’s a fiction piece by George Dyson published by The Edge Foundation. Recommended by Robots.net…they describe it as “a fiction piece
that fiction magazines wouldn’t publish because it’s too technical and technical publications wouldn’t print because it’s too fictional. ”
The story contains some interesting observations such as, “This was the paradox of artificial intelligence: any system simple enough to be understandable will not be complicated enough to behave intelligently; and any system complicated enough to behave intelligently will not be simple enough to understand.” After you read it, you’ll be asking the same question the author does, “Are we searching Google, or is Google searching us?”.
I told you that Google is searching for Elvis.
at some point Elvis has to surface and use the Interwebs… notice how all e-government is moving to the web: this was done by the federal government to force Elvis to use the Interwebs to update his new addresses for his social security checks. as soon as he logs on, Google will find him (it’s all in my post: http://www.lisnews.org/serve_us).
…doesn’t anyone read what I write???
