china announces a mutual tariff de-escalation; the stock market jumps. but will trump blow it apart with a tweet tomorrow? at this point, china could have potentially already made a profit via buying low before the surge, and if they know trump (all two centimeters) they'll know whether to put or get da fuk outa hir. trump and his buddies, meanwhile, could make a mint short-selling before he destroys the surge via twitter. then, there's the long-game -- will trump willingly leave office? given his attitude, you wouldn't blame me for thinking that, should he actually be removed from office, he may refuse to acknowledge it? america is rather unicorn amongst the history of countries for a long, unbroken streak of peaceful transitions of power. say impeachment fails (sadly likely) but trump loses the election. it's not quite impeachment, but i can already picture the ELECTION FRAUD! FAKE NEWS! tweets people laugh nervously at first, but as the transition point nears, things get increasingly tense. trump becomes increasingly unhinged. openly screaming at reporters. firing everyone, even people that don't work for him. he begins to frantically mash the buttons on his desk to create distraction and get reality to acknowledge his existence somehow. troops pulled out of here. tariffs there. no? protests in the media? send out the army at this point, russia and china say "lol" and collectively detonate the 2/3 of american infrastructure that they've quietly been infiltrating for years. chaos. i am holed up in my apartment, debating the wisdom of going out to the hardware store for another deadbolt or two, presuming looters haven't gotten them already i feel like i should go out and buy a palette of bottled water and loads of tinned beans. |

citing fear of WWIII, twitter decides to ban political ads. |

There is too much information to process, its like constant psychic shock |

- some book by "anonymous" tearing up trump - mulvaney subpoena - michael bloomberg entering race - china trade deal (or maybe not) - 1 dead, 8 injured after chemical incident at buffalo wild wings - trump ordered to pay $2mil for not treating his charity like a charity - milo yappalottapus sitting in the courtroom during robert stone's trial - 2 million pounds of chicken recalled - the story about the perv university doctor is back for like the sixth time and roping in some senator honestly, no problem processing. the real problem is it's hard to retain it for more than a week or three because there's so much flowing in |

I forget half of it by the end of the day unfortunately, im sure someone in MIT is using a super computer to collate this data |

to make stochastic predictions of future events |

train a neural network to predict trump's erratic tweets and make a fortune on the market |

yeah exactly if you combine the power of neural networks with the processing power of quantum computing imagine the first person to do this successfully, how rich they will get by predicting market trends or something like that I dunno im probably completely wrong, I know quantum computing is only faster than classic computers in a certain subset of tasks |

randomness does not actually exist. it is a concept we made up. if you could get live data from every car on the road, traffic cameras, traffic light control, weather, holiday calendar... you can train a neural network, feed in the live data, and get pretty good predictions about traffic patterns... but not perfect. how do you predict a fender-bender? well, obviously, you need more data. if you are somehow able to develop individual personality profiles for everyone on the road, you can learn to infer that if Impatient Jerk 2197 comes within 2 cars of Young Douchebag 450, when they are both within 100 feet of mile marker 128.2, on a hungover monday morning, with rain, well! 90% change of an accident; summon the cops in advance but, obviously, you can't get at all this data. a human can learn to infer it over years of experience with humans and driving, but neural networks cannot do this. the point remains, though, that, if you could somehow scan the state of the whole world and throw a quantum computer at it, you would start to have a pretty good sense of the future, and the opportunity to potentially direct the course of reality itself. even with quantum computers, we probably wouldn't have enough horsepower to manage this without building a or something. and even if we managed that, how would we scan the whole planet in order to run a simulation? just interests me that reality is essentially based on a lot of interacting information and if you have enough of a handle on it you can control reality |

even if u had all the data to calculate probability of an event there is a decision factor that is more than all your experiences summed imho |
