A Universal Scale for AI Systems
It seems to me that the media are really hyping the state of AI research and the general, ‘march of the machines’ thing and this is causing confusion and mild panic amongst us. I think for all of us, including those actually, ‘doing AI’ it would be really good if there was an agreed, ‘scale’ […]
A Tale of Six Watches
What’s the difference between just loving watches and being a real enthusiast (geek)? My answer to this question is, ‘time’. I don’t mean that it is inevitable that you will transition from watch lover to full geek; what I do mean is that people like me are interested in a watch not only as a […]

Anyone who understands complexity science knows that the ability to […]
The Search for Little Green Programmers
There’s a lot of ‘big talk’ going around suggesting that our universe may be some sort of computer simulation.
