That will work. I spent some considerable amount of thought, at a fairly high level, to do specific
targeted wording that would leverage into big gains along your lines of thought. To also show that you
have thought deeply and knowledgebly about many lines in the hard sciences.... it does not make you
look bad, just better, deeper, broader.
It is important to use words correctly and avoid vague ones... For example, in terms of Al, to switch it
to "common sense" is not at all meaningful. "Common sense" is too vague a phrase. For example,
people can build competent machines now, they can do the task you want, but the trouble with the Al
approach is that they are not "intelligent," they can't self-adapt to new situations as outlined in 2 and 3
of the Al section I outlined. That is the main problem with the current approach of Al... They keep
building gagets, so what....
The better search algorithms for mathematical theorems and proofs would be enormously helpful. This
is quite different, of course, from what Stephen has tried to do with Wolfram Alpha. He has not been
able to do it. Humans can still check complex proofs and theorems far better humans. This would be
an enormous breakthrough in science. Same thing for better search algorithms for mathematical
knowledge. Google is good at data searches, but not smart knowledge searches. I have tried to
come up with new lines of thought in all these areas that I am somewhat familiar with, although some
people I am sure, and know, are working in them, but they really are not well traversed....
Also, I was a little perplexed that you removed some things that you had originally put in your notes to
me, but I put in their correct form and phrasing. So, that is confusing to me. You also removed other
material you originally proposed.
There were also lines of thought that are in parallel with what I think you are trying to do. I am getting a
sense of what you are trying to do with the areas you are most interested in. So, I am glad you left in
things like quantum crytography, etc.
But this is serious stuff, and I would like to talk to you about it in some depth. Thursday or Friday works
fine for me.
Sorry, you removed all the theoretical physics stuff out... :-( For example, when I wrote about finding
applications of Anti de Sitter Space and Conformal Field Theory to other areas of physics, such as
nuclear physics, etc. was quite an interesting take. It turns out that doing this has recently had
enormous ramifications and breakthroughs in nuclear physics (just speak to Ed Witten), but it has not
been applied to these other areas, and could lead to amazing results, and especially in terms of high
temperature superconductors.
Again, none of this implied or guaranteed that you would fund anything, but it is a way to see what is
out there, and perhaps, just perhaps, something interesting can come through....

Let's talk next thursday. I am meeting in the next couple of days with this uber hacker. Don't ask his
name as he is not even allowed near a computer or he gets a "life sentence." He has already spent
enough time in jail. Together with Pablos, over the past couple of days, we discussed some of the
most difficult things to remove. Already noticed that the google page is cleaning up... We haven't
slacked even a day or an hour. Lots of time and effort on your behalf....
Hope I am not boring you with all this stuff...
I hope you also see that we set up the conference line to record your interviews, which we would like
to start doing.
Cheers,
me

Ok, I have given some more thought to the various targets projects (there is no committment
implied for funding). It is not overbroad. It is targeted. As I said, I reworked your stream of
consciousness into something that is real and workable. I have also tried to get inside your head
and add some new fruitful lines, which you may have forgot to add. I am weakest on the economic
side, as this is not my area. AI, quantum computing, theoretical physics and mathematics,
cognitive neuroscience, origin of life, are issues I have been keenly interested in over the years,
and was able to make some sense here. As time goes on, one can add more specifics, but this is
not an X-PRIZE approach, and people in the field should understand what I am looking for. I
wanted to reduce the din of cranks and junk science. People will have to go through an
application process, which will not only protect you, but also make sure that you can look through
these proposals at your own leisure and see what is worthwhile. Even though we will ask for a
page for them to write up their proposal, etc., you will be able to tell within the first 250 words
whether it makes any sense or not. We need to get this up asap. Again, it implies or guarantees
nothing, but it will look very good out there.
Your thoughts.
