Good summary of the many interesting, overarching theory of mind concepts found in Marvin Minsky's The Society of Mind.
Thesis:
"Ai is not making profits canard."
We are misapplying a quarterly reporting framework to what might be the last #infrastructure #investment category in history. Where the returns are structurally deferred but theoretically civilisational in scale.
👉CIVILISATIONAL IN SCALE 👈
Many individual AI companies are absolutely in Ponzi territory. But the aggregate investment, like the fiber optic overbuild of the 1990s, is laying infrastructure whose returns accrue to survivors and society long after the current investors are wiped out.
Dismissing AI investment on "no current revenue" grounds is the equivalent of dismissing Telcos fiber rollout in late 1990 because it wasn't profitable that quarter.
The relevant question isn't present earnings. It's whether the underlying productive capacity is real, and who ultimately captures the returns when they materialise. This is why its super imprtant that #AiRegulation is a thing. Will the infinite future profits go to the oligarchs or to the people.

#Minsky, a pioneer of AI, purportedly declared: 'We're going to make machines intelligent. We are going to make them conscious!" #Englebart, a proponent of Intelligent Augmentation rather than AI, responded,
"You're going to do all that for the machines? What are you going to do for the people?"

Hätte Minsky länger gelebt, hätte er noch mitbekommen, dass eine Frage wieder in den Mittelpunkt der Forschung rückt, die ihn sein Leben lang fasziniert hat: Wie funktioniert das menschliche Gehirn?

Er war 1956 dabei und prägte den Begriff Künstliche Intelligenz entscheidend mit: Vor zehn Jahren starb mit Marvin Minsky der letzte große KI-Pionier. Dass die Erinnerung an ihn umstritten bleibt, hängt nicht nur mit Jeffrey Epstein zusammen. Am 24. Januar 2016 starb mit Marvin Minsky, der letzte damals noch übrig gebliebene Teilnehmer der Dartmouth Sommerschule, […]
#MIT itself commissioned this:

It supports much of Giuffre's testimony.
Do you believe MIT's presented facts?
MIT confirmed #Minsky visited #Epstein while in prison *for* underage prostitution & continued to call Epstein his “friend” & took trips with him at times. The only fact MIT couldn't confirm or deny is Minksy met Giuffre. So, you belivee Guiffre's testimony is perjury? Before you decide that, I encourage to read the MIT report & her entire deposition.
