World-system World-systems are usually larger than single countries (nations), but do not have to be global. Several world-systems can coexist, provided that they have little or no interaction with one another. Where such interactions becomes significant, separate world-systems merge into a new, larger world-system. Through the process of globalization, the modern world has reached the state of one dominant world-system, but in human history there have been periods where separate world-systems existed simultaneously, according to Janet Abu-Lughod. The most well-known version of the world-system approach has been developed by Immanuel Wallerstein. Characteristics[edit] World-system refers to the international division of labor, which divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery countries and the periphery countries.[1][2] Resources are redistributed from the underdeveloped, typically raw materials-exporting, poor part of the world (the periphery) to developed, industrialized core.

La revolución de la IA: el camino hacia la superinteligencia. | Mola Saber “Estamos al borde de un cambio comparable a la aparición de la vida humana en la Tierra”. Vernon Vinge. Antes de empezar quiero que señalar que este artículo es una traducción libre, o mejor dicho, una adaptación de un texto de Tim Urban, autor de la página Wait But Why (que os recomiendo encarecidamente si el inglés no es un problema). Me he tomado la libertad de modificar y recortar parte de la narración tratando de no alterar el espíritu de la idea original, usando mi propia voz en lo que es, y aviso, una verdadera parrafada. Espero que os resulte tan interesante como lo fue para mí. Un futuro lejano a la vuelta de la esquina. Vamos a jugar un poco. Esta experiencia para él no sólo sería sorprendente o alucinante, es posible que fuera tan traumática que no se recuperara nunca. Pero digamos que lo asimila, mantiene su cordura y regresa a su año de origen. ¿Entonces qué pasa si el cazador-recolector desea hacer lo mismo? Suena extraño ¿no es así? Crecimiento lento. ¿Qué es una IA? Hardware
ibhanet.org Explore Big History “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the immensity of the sea.” -- Antoine de Saint Exupéry Big History seeks to evoke in you an appreciation for the immensity of science and a longing for the greatest story ever told. Big History is the narrative account of the 13.7 billion-year history of our universe, the 4.5 billion-year evolution of our planet, the 6 million-year rise of our species, and the 10,000-year accelerating drama of human civilization. Every time we log on to the Internet or pump 200 million-year-old fossil fuels into our cars, we affirm this story in deed, if not in thought or understanding. In brief, our omnicentric universe began some 13.7 billion years ago as something like infinite heat, infinite density, and total symmetry.
