What are your thoughts on a "benevolent AI dictatorship"? One intelligent enough to force human, and thus biased and corruptible politicians into always making smart decisions based on probability of success, historic precedents and simulations that would advance humanity.pic.twitter.com/taBoqqj8VM
No. For law-like purposes simple and predictable algorithms are vastly superior to complicated and unpredictable ones.

AlphaGo's algorithms are complicated and unpredictable to their creators yet amazing in their success. What if politicians had tools like weathermen that, based on probabilities, could lead their decision making without bias and corruption? These tools could eventually rule

Then they couldn't predict or control anything past about five days out.

Today they can't, I'm talking about a future in which everything already runs on blockchains and is controlled by AI. Maybe we are already living in one such simulations. Would they exterminate or keep us in zoos as catastrophic backups? The mind wonders...
-
Blockchains are not suitable for computationally intensive tasks, they are most suitable for executing simple rules. The laws of mathematics via computer science dictate this, highly unlikely to change in the future.
-
Blockchains wouldn't be used for computation but for record keeping and reliably mining the initialization data the simulations need. I think it's inevitable, question is would this be good or bad for us humans in the long run? Just thinking out loud. Never mind
