ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND PROPERTY
Ever since google started buying up AI firms, I keep coming back to my previous argument that (a) humans are acquisitive, and (b) the unit of commensurability is property, (c) prices determine ‘value’ and many things are priceless, and (d) our emotions are changes in state of inventory, (e) an AI constructed in, and reasoning according to those those terms would of necessity operate as humans would.
I think others will beat me to it. But if I lived long enough I would like to try something of that nature.
Now, most of us who studied this topic back in the seventies, eighties and nineties understand that google has the necessary properties to create the first really superhuman AI. A “Neuromancer” scale intelligence. Because the first requisite for intelligence is memory.
But memories must be commensurable.
And the unit of commensurability is property.
