Why Computers Will Never Be People

The notion that computers and robots either have a measure of intelligence, or at least will have at some stage, has firmly taken root in Western culture. It has inspired a slew of science fiction novels and films, and one of these, ‘The Matrix’, has attained the status of a modern classic. Moreover, it has powerful advocates in the scientific and philosophical fraternities, the most prominent ...

B(ℓ p ) can never be amenable

We show that, if E is a Banach space with a basis satisfying a certain condition, then the Banach algebra l∞(K(l2 ⊕ E)) is not amenable; in particular, this is true for E = l with p ∈ (1,∞). As a consequence, l∞(K(E)) is not amenable for any infinite-dimensional Lp-space. This, in turn, entails the non-amenability of B(lp(E)) for any Lp-space E, so that, in particular, B(lp) and B(Lp[0, 1]) are...

Why Information can be Free

This paper describes a model that demonstrates that sharing knowledge can be adaptive purely for its own sake. This is despite the fact that sharing knowledge costs the speaker in terms of foraging opportunities, and that initially the majority of the population consists of free-riders who listen but do not speak. The population is able to take advantage of the increased carrying capacity of th...
