17 August 2017 - Schroedinger’s catalog

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

We are moving into a digital world where everything is calculated on the fly. When you shop on Amazon, their software estimates what you may want to buy and shows it to you, and then it estimates what you may be willing to pay and maximizes profit. In the end we will shop in Schroedinger’s catalog, where the products and prices do not exist until you see them.
