one more for the road.

I may or may not be slightly intoxicated...

But is an AI prediction based on who believes it more than what will actually happen?

That could steer things in general population and cause them to happen

Good topic for the next CPK gathering. Too much to try to type.

If, in your reality, that cat is alive. There is another reality that is equally real in which that cat is dead.

You may enjoy watching Constellation the SciFi thriller currently on Apple TV+. It tackles the exact subject matter.

F..k

Meaning. An artificial intelligence running on a quantum computer platform. Will it be able to literally see the actual future. Not long-term future. But fuzzy short-term future.

The more traffic online, the more data points can be collected and used = a less fuzzier future prediction.

So, would it work for members on a Friday afternoon wherein they both simultaneously do and do not claim a CPK at a 3pm sale?

Excellent... till you have 1 little variable that could change everything

 

[afr]

^ it would become fuzzier

I've had that feeling, where I thought that I've "claimed", but turns out I "didn't claim"!

Same same

This may explain the server issues.

I speculate that in the hypothetical experiment of Schrodinger's cat, if one were to actually really perform that experiment, that cat would be literally both dead and alive simultaneously until you observed it.

And

It would continue to be both dead and also alive even after you observed it.

The only thing that it would change (and this really isn't even a change) is that you would then know, upon observation, which reality you are in.

The show Silicon Valley discusses all of these issues including Schrodinger’s cat and the potential of artificial intelligence. It’s a comedy, but they do bring up the cat a lot. I just rewatched the series. It’s pretty funny and good.

Random thought for the smarter than me guys here:

Will an AI, running on a quantum computer, be able to calculate near term future events? Not through estimation but through observation?

Hedge funds already do this for the stock market.

so yes

Most say no, but the minority report that it is already happening.

That's not the same. There are limited outcomes. To over-simplify, stock/options go up or down in value. The only "unknown" is when those fluctuations will occur and their duration. There are strict rules governing how Stock prices are determined by market makers, which eliminates some of the potential for "random" occurrences as well.

The predictions you're referring to are done using pattern analysis of fluctuations against one another. There are patterns which indicate probable outcomes.

I understand. i was simply demonstrating the point that at the base level of 2 outcomes the AI can be programmed to ''win'' at the game.

so I'm pretty sure that with enough information an ai could be pretty good at predicting outcomes

I'm dumb though. Brain smuth like dolphin fetus

It depends on the event. There are some events that are not predictable by any means, because the prediction itself affects the outcome, a self-defeating prophecy if you will.
