yeah this^

this was a no nonsense answer, unlike the others discussing Cryptocurrency ;~;

since a lot of replies branched towards Cryptocurrency, which is where blockchains are implemented the most in. But it isn’t the sole purpose of blockchain.

It’s a distributed, append only(theoretically), tamper proof data structure. Look up merkle tree, certificate distribution, etc. These comes in different shapes and sizes for storing transaction logs, to keeping track of online identity and false impersonation.

You can implement a blockchain that might not get as power hungry as crypto block chains(because mining), and it’s a cool solution in distributed systems

i think op asked for Blockchain not Cryptocurrency

yes but no. Boobs are perfect the way they, all shapes and size are ideal. While ass, no sir. Some like big, some like it fat, some like it muscular and some like it skinny.

yes, in future IF ai replaces me as a programmer(which as explained is not possible), then I shall start working alongside it.

See cars replaced horses, but not humans, our need for progress is insatiable and I doubt any software program can emulate human intelligence

We meet again mr angry autist, and I must say, you have got a bit of an r/unpopularopinion

oh wait you mean something like alphazero or other alpha models which are expert systems baked into one model?

:⁠^⁠)

is it the proof that no progress has been made or no information is public?

mixture of experts leads to no where and I know boltzmann brain but I can simply say, being a figment of someone’s imagination doesn’t decrease my pains and struggles, implying that my pain were the proof of my being, can be fictious but won’t change my reality

well, how? what issue would this particular solution give rise to?

but cant such system be built with open standards, run upon shared public infrastructure

well technically someone had to do it, humans can’t and in this game of poker only gods can intervene to save the day

that means I get the answer, the unfeasibility of the solution is not in itself, but rather in its deployment.

I understand and I think your last paragraph is very poetic! And I agree with you partially, but I think in certain cases, it’s better to find the one general case the solution fits to and add the edge cases as it grows.

But putting the question of model selection aside, do you think this system would be practical, theoretically of course?

what if it gets magically implemented by god and it is the absolute power, only power above the system would be that of the masses. No small group or individual get’s privilege above the computer program

Also, I am a computer science student, I just had distributed systems, machine learning, deep learning and Artificial intelligence in my course last semester. Though I don’t have tons of practical experience here, I have a basic theoretical foundation.

By distributed systems, I was referring to an architecture similar to a blockchain and its fault tolerance and leader election algorithm.

First: I believe a simple predicate logic to determine ethics, eg is below. Then a GAN to simulate situations and receive feedback from it. Humans would monitor this and keep a track of decisions that were incorrect.

Second: I proposed a distributed network of rule based AI systems that polls on the notion. The different polls would be because different systems would lead different regions. Say our country has 6 states, my state wants nation wide farming subsidy bill to be passed but on this notion no other system agrees, than the notion get pulled back for review. And the state system, would have multiple local systems established. Even if by some reason some systems are pwned, then the network would still stand.

Third: See, in USA particularly, Trump got elected because major media outlets say, a lot of people didn’t show up to vote and a lot of young people jumped the gun. So, let’s say this margin of error was because of unaware citizens… will the rule based decision maker make this mistake? No, because access to information is universal and transparent, and since AI systems are receiving the suggestions from humans they won’t have any problem with making wring calls as the system is transparent

Fourth, for the handwaving part: The clauses I meant were:

• The people would get elected much like traditional systems.
• Elected individuals would be temporary and can’t get elected multiple times, say after 4 times
• Succession of position would not be by money, bloodline or any influence since this process would be monitored by the said system.

Yes, I do believe this is a lot of handwaving and fictious ideas but I think humans can’t do correct surveillance and we can’t hold the power and not get corrupted, thus its better that a computer program that can’t go further than it’s purpose, monitor us and hold the power. Since no single one will be more powerful than the system yet the population would rule itself leveraging the system

absolutely agreed, the society wont let this system establish but let us assume it get’s established, my reasoning was, the chain of command would be simpler to see and everything would be transparent!

dude I doubt this, though I believe certain parts of your claims are true but they aren’t coherent with the later idea about an algorithm being authoritarian and having intent, can you show me some recent anomalous numbers or evidences of model over simplyfying or tunneling the logic from one context to another
