The machine learning model. Remember that Cognicism, the actual authors claims are not shown to users. The ML outputs an aggregate view of a collective of people trying to find a common truth together. The idea of "centralized arbiters of truth" really doesn't have much legs in my mind.

There are many attempts at making a "scoring algorithm" for truth. We talk about most of them in the manifesto.

Truthcoin (now hivemind) is basically just a crypto based on prediction markets. Simpler but I think it can be corrupted. [Metaculus] (http://www.metaculus.com/help/scoring/) also focuses on prediction and they concede that there are infinite scoring functions.

----------

From my perspective, the key is ML model, and FourThought API which is a constraint on how truths are evaluated. You don't just rate true or false, you rate on a spectrum of 0% likely to be true to 100% likely.

The ML model is using the raw text of the thoughts as well as the collective score. It's always trying to predict itself what accounts are making the predictions (or statements) that end up being logged to the chain.

The models seem to favor accounts that fall into the basic constraints laid out in this book They use Brier scores for evaluation like Prediction Book. In their case they find that scorers that make more nuanced predictions, and update their scores more often are more accurate. The ML models are meant to learn similar patterns in accounts.

The models are constantly learning, and becoming more rich with knowledge over time, and resistant to corruption by trolls.

Early models with not a lot of training time and pretty dumb and susceptible.

Definetly check out the book
https://www.amazon.com/Elon-Musk-SpaceX-Fantastic-Future/dp/0062301233


I went for the audio book on audible. Was a good commute listen. If Ashley Vance is actually a fan boy, he did a great job hiding it and I'd like to thank him for that.

Some Musk facts from the book:


-photographic memory


-intense, innate drive


-mastery of physics visualization


-loner through childhood


-rough paternal childhood


-future keystones, determined in college: internet, renewable energy, space


-thought both Tesla and SpaceX would fail


There's way more stuff, really consider the book. If there was a perfect person to become 'Elon Musk', it was Elon Musk. I'm glad we have him.

I see your 100% factual comment is being down-voted by those fans of von Braun, who don't really know much about him.

​

For those who are at least somewhat interested in what really happened, I recommend the most detailed biography of von Braun, written by the professional historian and one time chairmen of the Space History Division at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, Dr. Michael J. Neufeld:

[link] von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War

​

It is written with the help from von Braun family and German archives. There is no question that von Braun was complicit in war crimes, and that this part of his biography was intentionally white-washed later by the US military, to make him more palatable for the american public as a prominent figure in the US space program.

There is also an excellent Deutsche Welle documentary: "Wernher von Braun – Rocket Man for War and Peace"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmlDqiHYWU

​

von Braun has achieved much as a brilliant manager of German and then US space programs. But in the process he unscrupulously used Nazis and then Americans as vehicles for furthering his personal interests.

​

V-2 has only become possible, because von Braun personally lobbied Hitler to give the program the highest military priority. In America, von Braun equally eagerly presented to the military brass plans to create massive orbital stations armed with nuclear weapons, in the hope that he will be put in charge of another massive project. Killing a lot of people was never a problem for von Braun.

I’d highly recommend reading the biography by Ashlee Vance

It’s really quite fascinating, and confirmation that Musk isn’t just all hype.

sorry late to thread but is it this?

Title is slightly different, I figured it''s what you meant but just wanna make sure in case there was another one out there.

Former Head of Talent acquisition at SpaceX Dolly Singh linked to this book. Available next year though.

Looks like Musk may have been reading Engineering Happiness

Looks like one of them says "Soyuz". Possibly this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1852336579/ref=rdr_ext_tmb and another one says "Atlas". Not sure which book, though.

We know where you live too ¬_¬

Since you want a Tesla so bad, you should buy this one; it's in your price range and you won't go to juvie for operating it.

>Pete, to me, seems to be more thought out.

Have you read Andrew's Book?

u/star_boy2005 · 1 pointr/elonmusk

I strongly urge anyone curious about what Elon Musk is specifically concerned about (as the specific dangers he's worried about are not yet being openly discussed in the press), to read the book Superintelligence, by Nick Bostrom.
