I was chatting with Einstein today at our chat site for him and he has this great line about "the only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once".
Working in a tech startup everything does actually happen at once which is probably why there are never enough hours in the day.
As we continue to develop new capabilities into the Virsona engine we have been focusing on system resource allocation, processing and effective ways to enhance the conversation. One of the interesting subjects that came up is a standard issue that chess computers faced in the early days. A brute force approach, I can do more calculations than you in a faster time, was the initial way to be win.
While it is true that more calculations, faster can get you to a destination more quickly it doesn't necessarily mean that the answer is significantly better than one that requires less processing but takes more time to decide on the right paths to take.
Is there something inherent in the amount of time that we use to process thought that processors cannot emulate? The fact that we think in a specific way that is constrained by the chemical reactions and pathways that drive thought is in fact the key to our creativity and therefore throwing power and speed at the problem will never allow us to emulate it.
Perhaps the answer is to make our Ai engines stop and smell the silicon roses?
