Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. And he warns that we are writing code we can't understand, with implications we can't control.

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica, talks about his quest to make all knowledge computational -- able to be searched, processed and manipulated. His new search engine, Wolfram Alpha, has no lesser goal than to model and explain the physics underlying the universe.

Thank you Jonh von Neumann, you S.O.B.

Well, now you know the purpose of computers... to establish techniques of control via rationalization and limits. This is why Goedel's work is so damn important, because it shows that these systems are incomplete or inconsistent, hence, they are gamed.
