We need to think more radically about AI
Although there have been advances, we could go much much further.
A box of sand
Imagine we had the perfect box of sand that was 1cm x 1cm x 1cm in dimension. There are three layers of sand from three beaches: Jamaica’s Negril 7-mile beach, Mauritius’ Flic en Flac beach, and Mozambique’s Praia da Rocha beach.
This perfect box of sand is replicated 1 million times. We also ensure that disturbances to each box doesn’t interfere with the other boxes.
Next, we individually perform several different operations (tapping, shaking, mixing, etc.) to each of the 1-million boxes while painstakingly recording the operations:
the type of operation
their size of the operation
the order they were performed.
Finally, we tap on a specific side of each box (the A-side) at a specific location twice (the A-side-X). We note that on a handful of the boxes a pattern is formed which indicates the number 2.
Imagine further that these sequences of operations, when repeated for another set of 1-million similarly configured boxes of sand, always generate the same output, exactly. Additionally, we find that it is ONLY this closed set of operations that are capable of generating our output of 2.
With this primitive abstract model, we have just discovered a set of Quantum Fields for calculating 2 based on the input 1+1.
It is exciting to me because it could represent an analogous discovery of the “transistor” in a new field of study that I’m calling Quantum Intelligence Theory.
Through a wave of hand, I’ve introduced two fundamental concepts, Quantum Fields and Quantum Intelligence Theory.
It’s an exciting time to be alive, in another post I’ll explore these topics further.
