Mankind is searching for that self-applying information so we can life the good life. Perhaps this is a silly fantasy, perhaps it is a dystopian future.<\/strong><\/p>\n Is this the singularity? Is this beyond the singularity?<\/p>\n Consider this future. The computer mines information and doesn\u2019t present it to a person, but uses it immediately (like in a few nanoseconds because that is how long it takes a computer to \u201cthink\u201d).<\/p>\n I think this is beyond the singularity because, as I understand \u201csingularity,\u201d that is what a person can do. The self-applying information goes far beyond what a person can do.<\/p>\n For example, a computer search finds that four researchers around the globe have written papers on a similar ground-breaking topic. These four have no connections (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). The software scans their four calendars, finds an open time, schedules a video chat room, and opens their applications at the right time, etc. The software also arranges funding from venture capitalists, files incorporation papers, and arranges an IPO, and so on.<\/p>\n Perhaps a person has to define the ground-breaking topic so the computer can do its part. Perhaps the computer understands ground-breaking topics.<\/p>\n Still, we search for that magic self-applying information so that we can sit on the beach, sip a cool drink, watch the waves, and enjoy the good life. We will pay for this recreation with the money earned by the corporation that was started by a computer applying information all but itself.<\/p>\n But who will serve us those cool drinks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips Mankind is searching for that self-applying information so we can life the good life.
