The Age of Man

The age of man is over. No, I do not mean that we are going to be replaced by AI-driven life forms or we have reached a level that AI technology is so advanced that it poses a threat. I think that we are not close to this reality. But, we are closing to the time, that the complexity of the required computation will begin surpass our capabilities forever.

Lets just be analytical

When you study computer science, or a similar degree, there are several standard things you are taught; algorithms, data structures, complexity, information theory etc.

These teach you one specific thing; how to put chaos in order. Actually, how to get a really complex system and tame it, line by line. You are taught, to understand, which line is slow in terms of execution and how to improve it.

Then you learn abstractions. Object-oriented programming and multi-paradigm languages. Everything you learn, aims to better at understanding complexity and eventually tame it.

One simple trick

But how can we be sure that we can beat it? It is simple really. You create subsystems that can are communicating with each other by simple ways. Then you can create cluster of subsystems that communicate with each other.
