…be smarter than the universe and predict the endpoint without going through all the steps. But even with a smart enough machine and smart enough mathematics, we can’t get to the endpoint without going through the steps. Some details are irreducible. We have to irreducibly follow...

…fram|Alpha to their Turing Test bots find that the bots lose every time. Because all you have to do 1s start asking the machine sophisticated questions and it will answer them! No human can do that. By the time you’ve asked it a few disparate questions, there will be no human who...

… His opponent, Deep Blue, is a massively parallel chess-playing computer built by IBM’s Watson Research Laboratory. The machine itself sits a few blocks north of the tournament in an air-conditioned room, and relays the moves over a phone line to Joe Hoane, the IBM researcher who...

…of the 2011 Outlook (a printing press, out of control) expressed our concern regarding a recovery built upon a stimulus machine. I would contrast this with the cover of a competitor’s 2011 publication, which had a picture of George Washington crossing the Delaware, with the cap...

… stockbrokers, travel agents—in fact, a large fraction of white-collar jobs—will disappear as a result of sophisticated machine-learning programs. We face a future in which factories churn out goods with very few employees and the movement of goods is largely automated, as are ma...

…anny Hillis developed the algorithms that made possible the massively parallel computer. In 1983, his company, Thinking Machines, built the world's fastest supercomputer by utilizing parallel architecture. His "connection machine," closely reflected the workings of the human mind...
