Public sector hindered in their development of AI!

Each person has his own set of knowledge and has to exit a habitual Markov chain pattern in order to work with someone elses idea. He is not able to do this easily due to only putting an effort into understanding anothers claims if he holds an admirable status.

In a business such as Numenta.com each employee has a shared set of knowledge. When a possibility is presented to the boss he asks his top employee if he is able to make it work. An employees Markov chain is already based on receiving work from the boss and his reward system is based on his ability to impress so he will work hard to make it work.

The Numenta forum was made to let the public sector work with a technology and they published an algorithm to innovate with for free.  Nothing came of the forum and everybody who posted detailed thoughts was left mainly hanging. After some time Numenta decided to make software and proved that a group working together with a common background under an authority has a far greater ability to produce.

When one understands a proposal based on its merits they need not judge the messenger nor deny the proposal based on appeal to an authorities limitations. The latter two behaviors exist as they are part of the filtering system for new memes.

When we wait for an experts approval we are using one of natures hacks to avoid having to find information with our own energy. Todays topics are far beyond believing the hunter vs. the cook about the location of an animal. Getting over this and letting knowledge and logic do the decisions about what is possible is being more of a civilized man and scientist than someone who is not. If we do not do things based on what Wolfram, Kurzweil or someone else says is difficult for computers to do then we will have some major problems producing new things or modeling efficient algorithms which exist in our minds tissues. 

The presentation link below of HTM for games was met with typical negative robotic responses. With no hard wired bias responses to the posts would may be "That is interesting sounding and a bit hard. You say x can do y, how does a,b,c do that- we will help refine a diagram if you post it!"

Numentas technology is treasure chest of gold under a bridge. Would you believe a bum who came up and told you there was gold under the bridge? Of course not. When some unknown guy online tells you those places have the building blocks of AI you feel the need to deny from emotional tribal programming. It is there to save time and protect us. We want to avoid crossing out of the way fields until someone more credible already has and approves.
