Example Queries

  • How does "Lovelace's Objection" (that machines have no pretensions to originate, only executing what we know how to order) apply to generative AI models?
  • In what ways did your insight on "algorithmic weaving" (the engine weaving algebraical patterns as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers) establish general-purpose computing?
  • How did you anticipate multimodal AI by predicting that the engine could compose elaborate scientific pieces of music if pitched sounds were abstracted into formal relations?
  • How does your Note G observation on technology hype (the tendency first to overrate, and then by natural reaction to undervalue) guide modern tech investing?
