I think that's exacly how we learn and why the four idols need an update, for the machine's we create.

It's basically a joke mate (hence the lounge), with an off chance of success; kinda like a forum based lottery ticket. 😁

The fifth idol maybe a magical place, nirvana in it's truist sence...

Only if you think like me...

TBH, I was hoping to get paid for just thinking, really hard... 😇

Perhaps we need to add a fifth idol to the four. How could an intelligent machine think like us?

Why? What more? It's a machine fulfilling its objective. That's an interesting question, I think it would matter, because of all the noise it would create; where does the next human breakthrough come from? It strikes me as the echo chamber version 2.0.

That sounds like an awful lot of effort, anything else? 😴🙏

This is a, slightly, tongue in cheek request, for a friend. 😉 My friend considers him/herself to be a self taught, natural philosopher. 🤔 How would she/he monities such a talent? 🧐

Probably not.

Shor's algorithm would seem to qualify.

On one hand, doesn't a computer already do that? On the other, isn't an electron a fuzzy ball of probability? TBH I'm not sure what you're asking. Shor's algorithm would seem to qualify.

This reminds me of a friend who said "the greatest tool in the box, is grease"; IOW, infrastructure costs more to maintain than to build.

There won't be any point in not using it for the common good, in my scenario. Professor Stuart Russell explains why, in great detail, in his 2021 Reith Lectures for the BBC. How can I troll my own topic? I too have seen "it" in action, they fed a great deal of hungry stranger's in the mosque that fed me (a privileged christian, that's had one too many shandies); but we're talking about cold hard cash, not what lengths the extremely hard up will do, to get some (mention no name's, cough "prince andrew" cough "the local vicar" cough "etc.").

But don't worry, it'll probably start in June...

That's why it'll take some sort of revolution to initiate; but before that happenstance, we will have had a conversation about how to make things work better for all of us; what the rich never seem to understand is, they can't eat money and with the plastic note's we now have, they can't even wipe their arse with it. I'm assuming you mean "no" within the current model? AI and associated technology are making that statement less and less true, in all fields of human activities; one day it's perefctly possible that all we can do that a machine can't, is put a hand on someone's shoulder and say "there there"; maybe that's the revolution we need, because when that becomes true, money will have no meaning at all...

Depends on how warm you get. 😉

Islam is a culture that followed a moral structure to create a working economy, that's at least worth thinking about. Isn't it? It was then, then things got complicated, simples

Think about it... 😉

OK, Computer says no.

Sharia Law has a lot to say on the subject. Shame, it's quite a neat summary.

Today it's:

No, because it's a barter between two, individual (another rabbit hole, I'd rather we didn't explore), parties and that's not been our model for a millennium.

The problem with the way we use interest in the current model, is that it creates a money pit/black hole; when money earns money, the wealth distribution spirals inwards; then we all get sucked in. Barter isn't force, it's a compromise. Both parties need to feel they have as much value, from the transaction, as they can get.
