The Curve

Maybe some day with AI’s help, we’ll be able to build deterministic models for all of the systems in our world. The weather. Biology. Politics. Financials. You get the point.

I don’t think so, but I’m also willing to admit that maybe I’m wrong.

More and better AI, which means more compute power, can and will solve problems of scale. But I don’t think solving some of these systems in our world is a scale problem. I think an inherent source of non-determinism exists. That source goes by many names, but I call it God, and at the human level, I call it a soul.

Our world is probabilistic. Not deterministic.

I don’t think AI will change that. Even if it does someday, it won’t be in my lifetime.

So probabilities. The curve. What could be. What might be.

All beautiful and messy, and scary, and full of possibilities.

Don’t turn the curve into a toggle switch.
