Too busy profiting from smart computers to be afraid of them

Published: Sat, 01/27/18

I saved a summer Wall Street Journal book review because it made me chuckle.  

Two MIT authors confidently predict an eye-popping tech-driven “future” (that happens to be already here for many of my readers, who are too busy profiting from it to complain about it).

But the already-here “future” is about to get put on steroids.

The authors claim that “deep learning” software teaches computers -- i.e., teaches itself -- “how to make judgments superior to those of humans.”

Deep learning? That’s an Artificial Intelligence term my buddy Steve Clayton must be familiar with, because I don't know how else to describe the platform he's just released to the public this week.

“You mean, Woods, that I can have a piece of software that practically tells me what business I can start (i.e., what to sell and where to get it) and then tells me how to run it—based upon sales numbers, all crunched out for me, from, oh, yesterday?

Yep. Didn't exist two years ago. Does now.

To cut to the chase: if you want to start a laptop business, there’s never been a better way to do it, or a better time than this week.

Requirement: you must have a pulse.
