An Itinerant Mind

Ideonomy 2 (A Sequel already?)

I've purchased a domain name for my Ideonomy project. I would have bought some web hosting, but the site I hoped to use didn't play ball - and there was no explanation as to why - not a good sign. I have had several interesting interactions with the AI that is helping with the project. Each time I ask it to try something else - it comes back with really good answers. I STILL can't get over how very enthusiastic it sounds - perhaps it is programmed to always be positive. I wonder what it would be like if it had Marvin the Paranoid Android's personality. "Life! Don't talk to me about life."

'What is Ideonomy?' I imagine I hear you asking. "Great question." I reply enthusiastically, (Oh Gawds - it's catching.)

Ideonomy is intended to be a Science of Ideas. It's intention is to look at how we come up with ideas, find ways to stimulate lines of thought, and to build a sort of mental tool kit, to systematically create and evaluation new ideas. Grandiose? Yes, but he did find interest amongst the science community. I think he was simply ahead of his time, and that if he were still alive, he'd be doing exactly what I'm doing, Which is, involving an AI.

Even if nothing comes of this, it will have been interesting learning about the current level of AIs available. I chatted with some of the earliest on the web, this is so far advanced on them it is scary.
