  • Emergence, AI and Intellectual Property

    Emergence, AI and Intellectual Property

    The Emergent1 Property2 Market3 Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, Computer Laboratory Abstract The title of this piece is a somewhat heavy-handed word play. The property market I’m writing about is the market in Intellectual Property, which is broken in so many ways, evidenced by the existence of patent mountains and patent trolls, fighting over how many angles they can fit in the 360 degrees around the head of a pin, rather than actually innovating. (It is well known in creative tech circles that pausing to talk to the IP lawyers would never have led to the discovery of the Internet Protocol). The Emergent Property I’m referring to is the possibility that such a complex system could fairly suddenly exhibit some new behavior. In this article, I speculate that this new behavior could just be that the idea of property ceases to exist. The article is written somewhat derivatively after the 1960s SF style of writers such as Cyril Kornbluth, JG Ballard, and John Brunner. Any resemblance to their very creative output is entirely good luck rather than actual skill. 1 A good example of emergence is described in Stephenson’s Anathem book. Complex systems suddenly exhibit simple, powerful effects, fireflies flashing and synchronizing all together in phase, or a murmuration of starlings being common natural examples. Crystalisation. See also footnote 33. 2 Some people have proposed putting the UK’s Land Registry (the national record of property) on the blockchain. Blockchains, or distributed ledgers, are suitable for storing information you wish to remain immutable, in a decentralized way where you cannot find any single trustworthy third party.

    The Mutual Influence of Science Fiction and Innovation

    Nesta Working Paper No. 13/07 Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Reader in Digital Media, Professor of Information and Research Fellow, Faculty of Arts, Research Centre for Material Technology, SPRU, University University of Brighton, Visiting Digital Culture, School of of Communication Sussex Fellow at SPRU, University of Media, Film and Music, Sussex University of Sussex Nesta Working Paper 13/07 March 2013 www.nesta.org.uk/wp13-07 Abstract This report examines the relationship between SF and innovation, defined as one of mutual engagement and even co-constitution. It develops a framework for tracing the relationships between real world science and technology and innovation and science fiction/speculative fiction involving processes of transformation, central to which are questions of influence, persuasion, and desire. This is contrasted with the more commonplace assumption of direct linear transmission, SF providing the inventive seed for innovation– instances of which are the exception rather than the rule. The model of influence is developed through an investigation of the nature and evolution of genre, the various effects/appeals of different forms of expression, and the ways in which SF may be appropriated by its various audiences. This is undertaken (i) via an inter- disciplinary survey of work on SF, and a consideration the historical construction of genre and its on-going importance, (ii) through the development of a prototype database exploring transformational paths, and via more elaborated loops extracted from the database, and (iii) via experiments with the development of a web crawl tool, to understand at a different scale, using tools of digital humanities, how fictional ideas travel.

But we felt a hankering to portray something new—a class of structures never seen by most of you—that may become more common in the 2020s. As it turns out, there is a concept called tensegrity that was first explored in 1948 by the artist Kenneth Snelson and popularized by Buckminster Fuller. Tensegrity is now the very latest approach to bridge design, as illustrated by the first-of-its-kind Kurilpa Bridge in Brisbane, Australia.

TITLE: PERFECTION: UNITED GOAL OR DIVISIVE MYTH? A LOOK INTO THE CONCEPT OF POSTHUMANISM AND ITS THEORETICAL OUTCOMES IN SCIENCE FICTION MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Robert Fox As science races to keep up with science fiction, many scientists are beginning to believe that the next step in human evolution will be a combination of human and machine and look a lot like something out of Star Trek. The constant pursuit of perfection is a part of the human condition, but if we begin to stretch beyond the natural human form can we still consider ourselves human? Transhumanism and posthumanism are only theories for now, but they are theories that threaten to permanently displace the human race, possibly pushing it into extinction.

If there is any such setting mentioned on list, then as soon as it is pointed out to me, I’ll remove it. ● Settings already claimed will be either removed from list or have claim noted. I’ll accept info about claims only from the jump-maker who claimed it. ● I hope to maintain this list in such way that /tg/, SB and QQ communities can all check it out. If you don’t like something on it, just ignore it. After all, if jump is being made doesn’t mean you have to use it. Furthermore, we all have different tastes, be mindful of that. ● Fanfics will be listed separately. Some people like the idea of such jumps, some don’t. I might end up removing this section altogether just because it is so difficult to decide if certain fanfic would be acceptable for being turned into jump or not. ● Settings will be listed alphabetically within a genre, by their official name. Any other names will be included after that one. Please include genre and medium with any suggestions (e.g. KultHorror - Tabletop RPG; The Culture - Science Fiction - Novel) ● Rule of thumb – recommend settings that you would want to visit in order to interact with characters and storylines, not in order to get specific perks/powers/items.

    Science Fiction: the Evolutionary Mythology of the Future Tom Lombardo, Ph.D

    Science Fiction: The Evolutionary Mythology of the Future Tom Lombardo, Ph.D. Center for Future Consciousness Abstract Science fiction generates holistic future consciousness. As futurist narrative, it resonates with the natural psychological disposition of giving meaning to life through stories. Science fiction encompasses the future of everything, and stimulates cosmic consciousness. Science fiction can be traced to multiple origins, one of which is ancient myth, with which, though grounded in the scientific vision of reality, it shares many features. Science fiction is mythic holistic future consciousness. Science fiction is evolutionary in that continually builds upon past ideas. The scientific theory of cosmic evolution provides the fundamental narrative framework for modern science fiction. As the evolutionary mythology of the future, science fiction facilitates the purposeful evolution of holistic future consciousness. Science Fiction as a Way of Life As a young boy growing up in the 1950s, I was drawn into the wondrous, strange, and at times frightening world of the future through the movies. At my neighborhood theatre, I watched—totally mesmerized—the classic science fiction movies, The War of the Worlds, When Worlds Collide, The Time Machine, and the best of the best, Forbidden Planet. I specifically remember, after watching The War of the Worlds, that the movie tremendously excited me; my total conscious being came alive in the cinematic experience. I was inspired to write a short story of aliens invading the Earth; I created illustrations for the story and designed costumes as well. I recruited some of my friends to play the different roles in the story. We were going to “live the future,” a future of space ships, aliens, and great battles to defend the earth.
