Maybe AI is just the beginning. The end would be directly modifying human memory and synapse pathways. Then the age of post-intelligence would begin. And stupidity would be a treatable birth defect. Scary stuff.

IMAGINE a product search site that lets you understand why a product is what you really want. 10 features:

- search by every product-genre specific feature of a product from hsv color to carbon footprint of specific components

- endorse products and search products/brands by endorsement of people in specified fields

- profile yourself and find products endorsed by people with matching profiles

- search product by durability and running costs and by reason for repair/replacement

- search product by appearance in social media

- view product in augmented reality, in social media photos and videos, and movies/mass media appearance

- view videos and photos in a special mode that lets you tap any product on-screen for purchase information

- search product by performance in specific fields, industries, and user scenarios

- filter product listing by availability/popularity in your GPS location

- search product by designer and profile of all contributing members, including funding shareholders

Hotel California

So I called up Zuckerberg
"Please show me my rights."
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since two thousand and nine."
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
To see your status say

Welcome to the great Facebook Empire
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of data at the FB platform tier
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our mobile device"
And there Analytica
Harvesting at the feast
They grab it with their API's
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave!"

IMAGINE: a bus stop where you tell a machine where you want to go and it tells you which bus number to ride and where to transfer to another bus.

Sounds dated? Except that buses are self driving and dynamically change routes to match traffic conditions and requested routes - buses with the same number does not mean it runs the same route everyday.

Why should we find buses that match our routes instead of having buses that find routes to match us?

自分の限界を知っておくのが大事。自分を制限するためではなく、周りの人が動けなくなった混乱の中でも、自分ができるはずなことをしっかりこなすためです。
