Lovelace Quotes

“Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, who was the only legitimate child of poet Lord Byron, often considered the first software engineer, dreamed about doing calculations by machine. This pair was a century ahead of their time. They developed concepts such as stored programs, self-modifying code, addressable memory, conditional branching, and com-puter programming, all of which were foundations for modern compu-ting.”

“Computation has emerged, and now the Law of Accelerating Returns predicts that computational technology will progress at an exponential rate. It predicts the exponent of this growth will be vastly higher for the technology than for the species that created it. So, at some point, computational technology will overtake the species that developed it.”

“The cybernetic union of humans and A.I. will lead to the automation and autonomazation of nearly everything. The first area where the gains will come will be agricultural robots because of the need to modernize the food supply chain. After that, we will likely see A.I. heavily influence transportation, communication, manufacturing, and companionship industries.”
