Why can’t we?

We can split an atom, and send a man to the moon. I want to know why we can’t help Mother Nature pressurize some gas in the ozone layer.

We can split a fucking atom.

Do you understand what we can already accomplish? Why not?

Why can’t we have an AI running. Say her name is grandmother. And it’s running in classrooms and research labs across the world and someone asks.

“Why can’t we pressurize water and have a nuclear steam submarine?”

Someone else has grandmother running who knows to answer. “Because the water pressure wouldn’t work, it would be too slow.”

“Okay how about above water?”

“It could work but the heat would be dangerous to the surrounding life.”

“Huh okay. Can we use the temperature differential for anything else? Can we move just by heating up instead of pulling water in and jetting it out?”

Etc so forth.

Imagine the collaboration we could do.

We have too much energy in the atmosphere causing shitty weather and I want to know why we can’t use it and cool this shit down.

We just need an AI named grandmother to pick up on a question and know who to ask or tell us where to look. Her job is to know who to ask.

Little kids could grow up to be geniuses because a rocket scientist explains propulsion to a thirteen year old without need of a physics class.

Googles slow, too easy to hack, hard to do with keywords, doesn’t understand the fucking question, delivers too few or too many results and is very impersonable . It doesn’t lead to collaboration the way an AI who asks you a question someone else wants too.

We could all be a lot less lonely in retirement with grandmother running asking us about hardware issues.

Now we know who to call with follow up questions.

Our problems are fixable.

A whole library science research job could be letting the AI ask her, identify the keyword and send it to the rocket scientist to hear the whole question.

Why can’t an AI identify the keyword and then do that? Why do we need the research operator? Right now an AI would still try to order a pizza.

As I heard noted, I have reinvented the hyperlink and switch board into one web. Her name is grandmother. But right now she’s just a concept.
