Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

tyvm for the commemorative picture of my ancestors.

In return I will tell you how to guarantee to win the lottery while also reducing your lottery expenditure by half.

Having purchased a smart tv box, I now appear to have access to every tv station in the world and every program that has ever been broadcast on those tv stations.  

From the vast choice I decided to view a prog called "Is luck real", part of the "Through the Wormhole" series, introduced by Morgan Freeman.  Most of it was basic stuff until this character appeared, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark and started discussing this stuff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse#Level_III:_Many-worlds_interpretation_of_quantum_mechanics

You will have heard of Schrodinger's cat being both alive and dead because its fate is linked to a random quantum event?  Mr Tegmark went further than that and stated that when your fate is linked to a random quantum event, it will result in new universes being created with new copies of you being created.

So here is my simple plan.

Go to https://qrng.anu.edu.au/RainBin.php

This is a quantum random binary number generator.  If the first number in the sequence is 0, you don't buy a lottery ticket that week and if it is 1, you buy a ticket.  (The ticket should be a random lucky dip, I think, but open to debate on that point)

So as your fate is linked to a quantum event, you will have created a copy RED-DOG in a parallel universe in all respects identical to you and with the common purpose to create a RED-DOG lottery millionaire in some universe.

Next week you do the same and (barring some unfortunate accident with a gas cooker) the parallel RED-DOG also repeats the experiment.  Now we have four RED-DOGs.

In 6 months time there are more than 33 million of you and although only half of you will enter the lottery it should be fairly clear that the odds of winning are approaching certainty.

But doesn't that mean I'm also a dead cert to get blown up by the gas cooker? (I mean let's face it, I'm odds on when there's only one of me).

Just do a few  0 I do this, 1 I do that, to get the team built up a bit before doing any amateur DIY.

If I do win the jackpot, Will I have to share it with 16.5 million other RED-DOGs?

Now you're being ridiculous

When I do win the jackpot, Will I have to share it with 16.5 million other RED-DOGs?

No but you have to buy the doubleup in that universe a pint

Now you're being ridiculous

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me, and he said, "Don't be ridiculous. Everyone hasn't met you yet".

You'd be better off creating another quantum event immediately afterwards where you invent Quantum Skrill the world's first transdimensional bank transfer company to give the other RedDogs their (1/infinity) share of half of the money (it was your ticket after all). This leaves you with half of the jackpot, which doesn't sound like a good deal until you realise that the quantum event had a 0 option, where you didn't give the money away, so you've just added 50% to your stack.

Is it just me, or does this poster seem to say 'Fart station One' if you glance at it quickly?

Yeah, this is how I feel when you talk about gas boilers and bikes.

Speaking of quantum physics, did you see that Stephen Hawking has predicted that Robots with AI will evolve so fast that they will destroy the human race?

How can that be though? According to Isaac Asimov, (author of the first science-fiction book I ever read) the first law of robotics is:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

[RED-DOG]

I've just Googled it, and the second & third laws of robotics make it a belt and braces job.



2: A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.


3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Was Max as well its in the wiki link above - Hawking is such an attention whore

In 2014, Tegmark co-authored an op-ed in the Huffington Post with Stephen Hawking, Frank Wilczek and Stuart Russell on the movie Transcendence, "Transcending Complacency on Superintelligent Machines".

OK. You got me. I'm off to read about Max.

I may be gone for some time....
