volunteer global networks signal the trend towards collective intelligence

following article I found at the RSS feed of kurzweilAI.net:

"Spreading the load"

They deal with the increased voluntary participation as a helper for complex calculations or sorting through the Internet.
It is split the cost of large projects on many volunteers that have Internet access. It is either used EXCESS vinegars Rechenkapazitaet their computer or take the aid workers themselves the time to do small tasks.
The same task is sent to multiple people, so that the result whether to Beisiel a photo or a spiral galaxy barred spiral galaxy shows measuring the result of a "real" scientist could.
world at the huge number of Internet users have enough of a tiny part to still move a lot of people to participate.

The operating speed of such helper Network Tools trumps because of their size slightly super computer many times. This is followed
is no change in the future, as the number of people with Internet access continues to improve and is the average speed of their computers even increases with time exponentially (Moore's Law).
same access to supercomputers and only a limited number of processors which are not much faster than in a standard PC. The high processing speed is made possible by the simultaneous use of several thousand Prozessioren. But so many helpers, you will get together on the Internet with ease.

This distribution of work reminds me very strongly to the way our brain. Tasks are easily solved through the cooperation of a network of many neurons. Such examples

amaze me again and again because they illustrate how quickly the human race moves forward to the collective intelligence.

Integrated Neural number representations explain mental associations

First, a link to one of my previous article:

This is about Integrated Neural Representations (INR)

a mental association I define as an immediate following up an idea another idea, which was triggered by the first directly or indirectly.
This includes situations in which the second thought is triggered by something that perceives the person, because everything is perceived in a neural representation (NR) niederschlaegt and thus is thought to himself.

The concept of INR to mental associations explain completely natural. Let A be any NO. A is for reasons of natural selection (see link ) an at least partial reconstruction of INR (RNR). Now let B also any NO. Just as A is of course a RNR.
Then there exists an intersection S of INR, which occur equally in A and B. Depending on how large S, the less modification of A is necessary to obtain B and vice versa. Add to that the strength of the INR is in S of A and B. This is very high with regard to the INR of A that are not in S, very little effort is needed to get to B because the INR in A, outside S is relatively weak then, so do not play a big role. Similarly, the same applies also for example

Interestingly, it shows that you could A which associated with higher probability to B than vice versa. It is even quite unlikely given that in both directions, the same association probability is, because that would each ratio of the strength of the INR in S are exactly equal to the strength of the INR in A and B respectively. Instead of only two
NO as A and B involve the entire model can be extended to any number of NR.

increases the probability for overlaps of course, with decreasing absolute number of existing INR. The semantically optimized integration of NR plays as well with one or more vividly, in subject areas in which one knows about, a rather come as associations elsewhere.

Semantic memory-optimized integration of neural number representations

links to previous article:

derivation for the hierarchical structure of the neural data storage

the basis of the hierarchical storage of Integrated Neural Representations (INR), one can imagine a memory tree, the first level of the base-INR is, each of which go back branches to the second level, which is in turn each of the set of base-INR, and so on.

If an NR can be composed of a few of the INR, it is easier to store, must then also because fewer connections are stored.

Since our brains do not have unlimited space, one can easily imagine that it is more effective to optimize the storage of data so that subjects with which one has more to do to stay in Gedaechtstnis easier than others. The natural selection automatically ensures That our memory tree and the base-INR is constructed to be "popular" the shortest path issues will be at the expense of other NR, which are now perhaps combined somewhat complicated by the base-INR must, but it also rarely used. Thus ensteht a semantically-based memory optimization.

shows the practice in our Gedaechsnisleistung, which varies by theme.
While some people can well remember numbers, names do not keep them long in the memory. The Erinnerungsvermoegen can thus indicate how well his brain integrates its NR, but above all else with which that person so mentally busy or not. This is certainly not new, but by INR, it can be fully explain analytically.
In computer science, these memory structures the way, standard practice.

Globalization leads to collective intelligence

we make a link to the singularity:

singularity

Globalization leads to the interconnectedness of the world.
The limitation of our scope of action on the ground with the result that any development in any way Executed "internal" needs.
An evolution of efficiency is the consequence of global market competition
particular time is a factor that takes a lot of efficiency. Distances must be bridged in order to transport products and to furnish information. This is the Internet certainly a milestone. The trend is towards an increasingly dense network between all people in order to have uninterrupted access to everything as possible.
The closer you get to this state, the less relevant, local information. For our immediate environment is changed by the ubiquity of more and more things to the detriment of the relevance of previously existing things in our environment.
This leads to a declining significance of geographical boundaries. The growing
Koorperation between different countries is an indication. Even without the Internet there have been at least to some extent to do so (eg EU, WTO, UN).
If you think ahead a little result, it almost inevitably the denationalization of the world.
Gruppenzugehoerigkeit is determined about the future interests in common. About the corresponding spread of such groups can be anywhere in the world. The Internet connects them. Of course, before that, the electronic communication be developed much further. Complete simulation of virtual reality would be no problem in theory. The exponential development, the opportunity to be in the foreseeable future.
The Al-Qaeda, I would consider one of the first in the "Action" ARISE groups, which occurs virtually geographically independent.

The denationalization has a reverse effect of internationalization. It is always easier to international interests Use to global objectives that because fewer and fewer national barricades impede cooperation.
leads the same time, a higher global reactive. Were global settlements in the past, only with much effort brought about, the future looks very different. Humanity is increasingly resemble an intelligent network. This network is of course also be further developed in an exponential pace. Analogous to the development of the nervous system in the biological evolution, it is realistic to expect that here a kind of collective intelligence is awakened.
some, this scenario may be reminiscent of the Borg from Star Strek. The comparison is not that bad. However, it is probably not the DC circuit of individuals are necessary. Probably not even desirable.
One might then imagine that humanity as a giant brain, whose neurons are human. As a requirement for

such a collective intelligence, it would first give tasks can use anywhere where their potential, so that she trains on and on.

The global shift away from fossil energy carriers I can think of one of the first of these tasks. On the whole, is
require the development of technologies, global cooperation, made for a collective intelligence. Particularly interesting in light then my view is to the space available.

In what time frame should be imagine that?

If we assume that the singularity will occur in less than 50 years, what I do, the question is how much progress the networking before. Intuitively designed for me both about the same rate. Both followed in any case an exponential pace. One can imagine how dramatic the singularity global intelligence will step in and how quickly it all happens. But here I bestride too take the path of speculation to reliable information, especially as the reality of both developments at the limit of our imagination and beyond that moved.

The role of renewable energy sources in the development of mankind

It is clear that petroleum, natural gas, coal and lignite limited present. Our role as people we play with a few exceptions at the moment as if that would not be the case.
will eventually need to get the change to renewable energy sources. I see this step as a kind of exam for the people. Once we've done it, so we gain a freedom that is restricted only by the technical development. We are in some degree independent of the earth because we will get a degree of freedom.

I also believe that the transition is the first collective act of our species.
Without that responds to a direct threat individually, but of humanity as it were aware of "global" is what his medium is imminent and it is like an individual in a position to rule out geziehlt.
I see this as a threshold of a new trend is being driven by globalization. But for a second time.

What to make of the climate debate?

going for years now been the public debate about climate change.

There are several models to its consequences, and lately are always discovering new factors that all could do much worse.

But a component is not in any of the forecasts, which often involved, as the IPCC climate report, the direct consequences for predicting the people with.

It acted as if the climate cause more pro, but the world of people in a few decades more or less the same today!
But what is with the technical progress?
without self singularity can be assumed that we have in some years and even decades in some technical options are available that make the climate bearable. At least it is not unlikely. The U.S. government argued precisely with technical solutions to avoid limits for greenhouse gases.

I think not just that they propose this in terms of technology evolving exponentially, but rather from perceived economic interests. But probably they represent a more effective solution than it won, for example Europe.

If one also includes the singularity with, would be a viable short-term manipulation of the climate or the biological adaptation of man possible.

I will not criticize the actions against climate change, but you should make clear first, what benefits are expected to really like this, if today billions of subsidies required in wettbewerbsunfaehige technologies are needed to make it profitable, for which exist in a few years the technology could, they can work efficiently enough by itself. Once that happens, fossil energy sources are rapidly disappearing from the scene, because its price is in the long term can only increase, because their supply is limited. The exponential growth
Enwicklung also implies the exponentially decreasing cost. Subsidies of today can therefore hardly make a difference in development time.

It slowly is time that in politics no longer remain unheeded. Especially now that we start people to negotiate civil, global projects, all others would be ignorant.
