Thanks for sharing. This project sounds very interesting. Once Tau is fully implemented, what will that future look like? Could you share some of your thoughts on that? I will have to look far more deeply into this to understand and to start building predictions myself you see.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
that's very difficult to say, but I'd imagine that knowledge creation through discussion and collaboration will scale immensely
right now, you can't effectively have a meeting of, say 500 experts on genetic engineering and expect the fruits of that discussion to be as efficient as 3 experts, due to a whole heap of reasons (only 1 person can talk at a time, we can't follow or remember multiple conversations etc) but over tau, collaborative discussions can scale logically through the platform.
This basically means human progress will be greatly accelerated. There's no 'AI' buzzword or anything here, its just how a logic engine will work. But tha'ts only 1 component of Tau.
It also offers automated code synthesis and automated virtual marketplace. One day over the network you won't have to make investment or business decisions, you can just give it a broad order like 'make me the most money possible' or 'contribute to the most egalitarian distribution of wealth possible' or 'do whatever you can to contribute to minimizing economic suffering in the world' and it can be automated
Sounds quite far fetched, but I think it has a non trivial chance of success. Wait for Ohad's explanations coming within a few weeks
Fascinating. This is just what the future needs to really be called one.
