The Singularity Just Got A Lot Closer - 0 views

  • The Topic-Mapper software development kit (SDK) by ai-one inc. reads and understands unstructured data without any human intervention. It allows developers to build artificial intelligence into almost any software program.
  • Unlike other machine learning approaches, ai-one’s technology extracts the inherent meaning of data without the need for any external references. A team of researchers spent more than eight years and $6.5 million building what they call “biologically inspired intelligence“ that works like a brain.
  • First, it automatically creates what ai-one describes as a “lightweight ontology” (LWO), The system determines the relationships between data elements as they are fed into the system. The primary benefit of LWO is that it is completely objective -- it makes associations without editorial (human) bias. LWOs are also very adaptive, automatically recalculating when ingesting new data. Unlike traditional ontologies, LWOs require no maintenance.

    It works like a brain... the more it reads, the more it learns, the better it gets at recognizing patterns and answering questions. http://diigo.com/0hqgr

Wildcat: Of Onions and Infocologies Thriving in the age of hyperconnectivity [31Aug09] - 0 views

  • a sensation carried by many and is very difficult to articulate, for even though the scope and amount of information available to us is disturbing many cherished beliefs and long held assumptions, at base this sensation is pleasurable, hence we want more of it.
  • we are entering, and actually are already in, a deterritorialized age of transformation, an age unlike any other in that the speed and overload of information is transforming us, and yes destabilizing us, disrupting us in such a fashion as to allow a new kind of mind to emerge, the hyperconnected mind.
  • we have evolved to be a fluid intelligence, an intelligence for which disruption is not a bug but a feature.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Hyperconnectivity leads to fluid intelligence.
  • Fluid intelligence is the ability to find meaning in confusion and solve new problems. It is the ability to draw inferences and understand the relationships of various concepts, independent of acquired knowledge”
  • in our hyperconnected slipstream the very transient nature of meaning is being amplified.
  • I believe that fluid intelligence is the hallmark of our present era, an intelligence that is fundamentally  autopoietic and multidimensional;
  • think that same intelligence is in the process of adaptation, adapting itself to accommodate information overload not as a negative so called ‘distraction’ but as an attention enhancer, an explorative measure of our intellects. T
  • I have become more intelligent, clearer, more focused, faster and more appreciative of others. In fact I am more than pleased with my multitasking, multithreaded polylogue on practically every level of my existence.
  • in direct insights that are predominantly invisible but nevertheless inform our actions and influence our understandings. Moreover, I see the modern formless hypermind evolving in front of our eyes as the precursor of a posthuman mind that is not only better at ‘everything’ but eventually will adapt old and outdated philosophical and cognitive concepts into fresh modes of being.
  • more than that I carry the (very subjective) feeling that I have developed a new filtering system concerning relevancy and irrelevancy, I am now able to discard or admit at a glance, if something is worthy of note to me or not, if it pertains to my (very extensive) list of interests or not.
  • A connected object, one that is a node in a network that interacts in some way with other nodes, can give birth to a hundred unique relationships that it never could do while unconnected
  • Narratives is what we are made of, our states of mind are narratives, stories within stories,
  • The paradigmatic shift is disruptive because it heralds a new story, the story of superabundance, and the superabundance starts with the wealth of information at our immediate accessibility.
  • he narrative of our hyperconnected state of affairs is one of enmeshed realities
  • the dynamics of intersubjectivity allows us to flow uninterrupted into a combined interactive intelligence, a hyper-intelligence that combines autonomous critical thinking within a larger framework of co-adaptive consensual adhocracies.
  • this very variability of multiple realities enmeshed as a coherent whole that re-describes the theme of being a hyperconnected mind.
  • We are at present in a transitional period of rapid advancement, an era of supreme importance in the history of humanity, a phase in our concatenated evolution in which new forms of literacy are being invented, new methods of inter-subjective enhancement are at play and we evolve because of it.

      As always significant, inspiring and disturbing.

    Is this vision coming to pass? Or is it delayed again? Or being overtaken by events on the ground, so to speak?

Crowdsourcing The Documentary - 0 views

  • "The role of social media is to get everyone to know that we all share the same problems, we all share the same needs, we're all asking for the same rights," says Amr Salama. After using social media to follow and participate in demonstrations that ultimately helped topple former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian filmmaker has now used Twitter to gather over 300 gigabytes of documentary video of demonstrations at Tahrir Square and elsewhere as part of a new film about the revolution that may soon be making the rounds at film festivals all over the world.
