 ouyangwulong says: It's amazing how the press out there, and most of the public, seems to have missed the big picture of what's going on here. They think this is about social networking and internet advertising. They are dead wrong. We're all involved in a much bigger game now, and the pieces are the very building blocks of society's future. I've clipped a few of the puzzle pieces together to make my point: 1. Cold War: Open v. Closed software ...leads to... 2. Show down between Cloud computing vs. PC software ...meanwhile... 3. Microsoft (PC OS) muscles in on Facebook (Internet Platform for Web Apps.) ...and on the other side... 4. Google (the world's leading search engine) muscles in on Firefox (the world's leading alternative web browser.) ...and then... 5.) Clipmarks, total wild card, leapfrogs over facebook into decentralized internet platforms with Clipcasts! Something VERY VERY BIG is afoot! This clip was inspired by some of the thoughts I was having on Eric G's clip of my comments on my own clip on the virtues of Clipcast. Now I'm getting a little dizzy! I've also refined my thoughts on the importance of Clipcasts and the mobilized, diversified Clipmarks community in the Internet frontiers of Culture, Economy, and Politics here. I make this argument using a comparison with the Islamicization of modern Bangladesh, as explained in Richard Eaton's amazing book: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Frontier-1204-1760... ouyangwulong, i simply can't state emphatically enough how energizing it is to read your perspective. it is pretty much exactly in line with my own...and reading your incredibly well articulated comments helps me believe i'm not crazy. i know it's not why you're writing them, but much appreciated!! Bad news for you Eric. This in no way proves that you are not crazy. In fact, given my history, it may well suggest the exact opposite.  Fortunately, we're in good company. helps me believe i'm not crazyWell, I won't provide any well articulated comments, but I'll let you know I don't think you are crazy. I think it is a pertty fu*king good idea. (I decided to go with the more vulgar approach since ouyangwulong has already monopolized the articulate angle). The Media love to promote the media, but clipmarks is more than a social networking site, it is a media outlet in it's own right, that is driven by curiosity, in a community that exists for the sake of the users rather that users existing for the sake of a community.Clipmarks is an example of a place where people can get to know each other by the way they show the things that interest them on the web. and can show how many people want the same thing. Many of the clips can show things that are hard to find, or are particularly unusual, but the personality of clipmarks comes through comments very often with some of the disagreements, where opinions are expressed that may not be expressed anyw... ouyangwulong,always an inspiring and imaginative clipper. While I admit that something about Clipmarks is extremely habit forming in concept,a very strong feature is it's independent platform. For me it's kinda the anti-walmart. This "social pattern recognition" ability is really an interesting thing... It's like having the opportunity to look behind the scenes. I wonder if a computer with that ability could be made. Feeding it continuously with new (true) information (about everything that happens), could it at some point be able to see/recognize patterns (links/connections between incidences) and predict what is likely to happen next? Clipmarks (with all its users) could be a good tool/concept to feed such a computer. Do someone know about such a project? The sooner we begin, the sooner we could see if it works and what comes out of it. 'I wonder if a computer with that ability could be made. Feeding it continuously with new (true) information (about everything that happens), could it at some point be able to see/recognize patterns (links/connections between incidences) and predict what is likely to happen next?thats just like the sci fi film minority report thats like psychic computing or prophetic computer systems I think philip k dick (sci fi author) came up with that idea a while ago Actually, the ideas you guys are comming up with might provide some interesting answers to a larger discussion on artificial intelligence on other clips. The integration of the social and many independent factors in a single system will create a much more diverse and robust solution, rather than simply trying to process calculations faster. Oh no! This discussion has spilled over onto a whole bunch of clips, and it isn't complete on any single location! Whatever shall I do? Never fear! Create a ClipCast! Et, Voila! Discussing AGI and Futuristic Computing All of those great, different ideas on computers and the future that we've been brewing up this week. Hopefully, a discussion that can be continued to help keep us all on the cutting edge! different ideas on computers and the future that we've been brewing up the coming of HAL 'why won't you tell me dave' apparently they can read disabled people thoughts and act on them now I post further comments on the other clip-page then... Oh, my first ClipCast! Going there, finding stuff in one ClipCast told me loads. Great stuff!  |
