I’ve seen that first hand too, my own unit got in a ton of new gear prior to our deploymentto Iraq, a lot of lasers and optics, so unsurprisingly my unit’s leadership decided the guy who’dbeen working on a doctorate in physics before jumping ship to enlist was well-suited tofigure out how all the new toys worked and train the others with them. This episode itself is focused more on the known science angles and how it affects theconcept of Interstellar conflicts.Īs I mentioned back in the original Space Warfare episode, predicting the future ofthe battlefield in terms of tactics and strategies is almost an exercise in futility becausethe dynamics of combat can change massively with a single minor piece of new technology. This won’t be one of our longer episodes but you might still want to grab a drink andsnack, because there’s also a companion episode talking more about the science fictionand worldbuilding aspects of interstellar warfare which I’ll mention again near theend. So today we will be looking at interstellar warfare and the dynamics involved betweenhow two ships would fight while traveling in interstellar space, how you’d move fleetsaround, and the sorts of weapons people might shoot from their home system to an enemy starsystem, the interstellar equivalent of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, ISBMs rather than ICBMs. When it comes to interstellar warfare, he couldn’t know how right he was. Leo Tolstoy said “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time”. He has also been a cofounder of four software companies an inventor on 11 patents and a co-editor of four books.Transcripts of all Isaac Arthur videos to date Malone is the author of The Future of Work and more than 100 articles, research papers, and book chapters. He is also the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence and was one of the two founding co-directors of the MIT Initiative on Inventing the Organizations of the 21st Century. McGovern Professor of Management, a professor of information technology, and a professor of work and organizational studies at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Drawing on cutting-edge science and insights from a remarkable range of disciplines, Superminds articulates a bold - and utterly fascinating - picture of the future that will change the ways you work and live, both with other people and with computers. By understanding how these collectively intelligent groups work, we can learn how to harness their genius to achieve our human goals. Together, these changes will have far-reaching implications for everything from the way we buy groceries and plan business strategies to how we respond to climate change, and even for democracy itself. And although it will probably happen more gradually than many people expect, artificially intelligent computers will amplify the power of these superminds by doing increasingly complex kinds of thinking. Using dozens of striking examples and case studies, Malone shows how computers can help create more intelligent superminds simply by connecting humans to one another in a variety of rich, new ways. And these collectively intelligent human groups are about to get much smarter. In this groundbreaking book, Thomas Malone, the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, shows how groups of people working together in superminds - like hierarchies, markets, democracies, and communities - have been responsible for almost all human achievements in business, government, science, and beyond. But there's another kind of entity that can be far smarter: groups of people. If you're like most people, you probably believe that humans are the most intelligent animals on our planet. From the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence comes a fascinating look at the remarkable capacity for intelligence exhibited by groups of people and computers working together.
