Understanding that change is unintended and unintelligent (and without cause) is a challenge. With regard to testing AI to see if it works, what is your criteria for success? The only criteria I know is whether AI’s response somehow makes sense to me within the grasp of my own thinking. While I believe I will never know whether the theories, theologies and theatrics of my own experience will reveal truth, I am comfortable that it will reveal a course of action that may benefit me. Yet when I look for the courses of action that others recommend, I find too many that are abhorrent to my understanding.
I came to these theories of change through a few of books that I recommend:
- The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook, by Niall Ferguson
- The Secret of Our Success: How Culture Is Driving Human Evolution, Domesticating Our Species, and Making Us Smarter, by Joseph Henrich
- The Knowledge Machine: How Irrationality Created Modern Science, by Michael Strevens
They all speak to a process of ‘group think’ that drives emergence, but it doesn’t cause it. Samo Burma was on the DemystifySci Podcast recently also talking of such things:
