    (intrigue) (AI) ??(operationalism)??

    AI test reveals machines will lie to one another to compete. Is there any operational significance to this?

    Ever teach some five year old a dirty word by accident? I feel bad. But only for a minute.

    KILLER ROBOTS – YUP. GONNA HAPPEN.

    I”m not sure where this killer robot chatter is coming from – drones maybe. But the military already disallows autonomous killing machines. Now, I worked on this stuff a bit a long time ago. And you really don’t want these things just killing all observable life forms. Which is pretty easy really. It’s discriminating between those things you DO want to kill and those you DON”T want to kill that’s computationally hard. Not much in the world looks and acts like human form. They’re easy to find. Now, If you’re a government that has some sort of moral legitimacy claim that is a material constraint. But you know, doomsday robots – things that kill every living thing are not very different from nuclear weapons. They’re politically intolerable in use but politically beneficial in possession. Personally, I think they’re not only going to happen but will happen. The moral constraint is that you can’t enable them to reproduce. It’s not that they kill all life forms. It’s that they become a life form when they engage in reproduction. So I kind of think we’re going to see autonomous killing machines. Because like nuclear weapons, there just too good NOT to have them. Bats are perfect for example. You can’t cognitively process what they’re doing, They don’t have to be fast in a straight line, you just can’t mentally compete with their tactics. (We used to hunt them with tennis rackets).

    The problem with something like bats is energy density. We don’t have an answer for that yet. So we’re going to see more vulnerable and slower technology first. (go karts or large arachnids with grenades and machine guns.)

    AI :

    Humans are acquisitive. Humans respect property (mostly). AI’s must be acquisitive only of that which is not currently property, and respect that which is property better than do humans. This is not a terribly complicated algorithmic structure. It’s a very simple rule.

    If property is registered (blockchain’ed) life is pretty simple for an AI.

  • Even if Bitcoin gets killed as a money substitute by regulators. Fractional sale

    Even if Bitcoin gets killed as a money substitute by regulators. Fractional sales of various instruments both asset and debt, and title registry are two very powerful technologies.

    I am still certain that using the technology for servicing the underclasses is possible to promote. And immoral not to make use of.

    I also see how to use the technology to advance MMT without the problem of inflation.

    The idea is solid.

    GARGOYLES AND ALL THAT KINDA THING

    I’m not too keen on the whole Google Glass thing. On the other hand, if I had a video-enabled bluetooth earpiece, or lapel pin, or a pendant that communicated with my iPhone – and did the same thing, then I’d be perfectly thrilled with it.

  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND PROPERTY Ever since google started buying up AI firm

    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.

  • OVERSING ROCKS. We make Jira look like a cobol green screen application. Ok. So,

    OVERSING ROCKS.

    We make Jira look like a cobol green screen application.

    Ok. So, not that bad. But close. 🙂

    There is absolutely nothing like Oversing on the market.

    Do you know why these companies don’t show you their apps on their web sites?

    – Microsoft Dynamics

    – Changepoint.

    – SAP

    – Tenrox

    Because they look like your father’s Chrysler from the 1980s.

    Oversing is complex. It’s deep. We’ll make it even deeper and richer.

    And in five years, if you’re in the service business, then you’ll either be using it, or something like it if we fail.

    But it’s going to change the category.

    (artificial intelligence)

    Just had a thought. Scary cool.

    If I finish propertarianism, it is now possible to create both an AI, and to give it moral and ethical rules that it cannot violate. It cannot violate them through self deception via self obscurantism either.

    wow…. Gotta put out a short story on that fairly quickly. Don’t have time tho.

    THAT IS IT!!!!!

    In college I wrote software that simulated an intelligent ‘tank’, using emotional rewards, and sixteen different emotions. But my problem was I just could not figure out how to tune rules for the emotions to produce the right behavior. I couldn’t come up with consistent rules……….

    Property is a consistent rule. Property=morality. But property RIGHTS are distributed among groups differently, because different groups use different property rights structures to suit needed reproductive strategies given local structures of production, and given local competitors in production.

    So like any ‘technology’ property rights are paradigmatic: the structure of production, the structure of reproduction (the family) and the structure of property rights that allow cooperation within that paradigmatic structure.

    I don’t like the paradigm argument because it’s too closely related to ‘belief’ and not closely enough related to instrumentalism.

    MORE RECENTLY – RUNCIBLE

    We were thinking of a new company using a new programming technology and spatial manifolds to store complex data. This could use existing technology even if new forms of programming.

    The problem none of us could solve was the data structure. Language is very problematic because of its complexity and loading. But, all language can be reduced to statements of property, property rights, and voluntary or involuntary transfer.

    Property is the data structure.

    PROPERTY IS THE UNIVERSAL COMPUTATIONAL DATA STRUCTURE.

    Is this the underlying problem that my subconscious autistic mind has been fighting with for decades?????????? Is this the ‘problem’ that that frustrating enormous obsessive machine in my head ‘senses’ but could not solve? That will nearly kill me if I don’t keep it fed with problems related to it?

    I know that my psychological motivation comes from a combination of obsessive autism, the need to understand, and the desire to prevent conflict.

    But …. But I think this might be what I was intuitively searching for…… I’ve been carrying this frustration for decades… and I think this is it.

    It was very smart not to rush my book this year. I am very close now to a compact argument. The last science so to speak.

    Hmmm….
