Are we Searching Google, or is Google Searching us?
     


The folks at the Edge have published a short story by George Dyson,
Engineer's
Dreams. It's a piece that fiction magazines wouldn't publish
because it's too technical and technical publications wouldn't print
because it's too fictional. It's the story of Google's attempt to
map the web turning into something else. Something that should
interest us. The story contains some interesting observations such as,
"This was the paradox of artificial intelligence: any system simple
enough to be understandable will not be complicated enough to behave
intelligently; and any system complicated enough to behave intelligently
will not be simple enough to understand." After you read it, you'll
be asking the same question the author does, "Are we searching
Google, or is Google searching us?".
