computers need to forget
--
I saw this article on /., but the title misled me. I thought it
said that computers need to be allowed to forget during run time.
Article
But in actuality, he was saying that data should not be retained.
In any case, I thought that the notion of computers being allowed
to forget - and in general be less perfect - might allow more hu-
man like characteristics to emerge. This might allow for some hu-
man qualities that have thusfar been very hard to simulate with
computers become easier. I know it sounds silly, but there is a
reason that humans are smart/slow and computers are dumb/fast. We
just need to figure out what that differences is - some neat ap-
plications might come out of it.
