StartupRealities

StartupRealities No 1  ThumbsUpDolpins ! is an artificial intelligence (AI) startup that aims to learn from how higher animals develop tools. For this purpose, a range of intelligent species such as dolphins, elephants and crows are given a prosthetic robotic hand connected to the animal's brain. The hand has an opposable thumb, which allows the animals to grasp, lift and rotate objects for the first time in the history of their species. The hypothesis behind these experiments is that different animals may develop new tools and arrive at innovations in a different manner to us humans, leading to the development of novel AI algorithms. The parent company is registering several subsidiaries: ThumbsUpElephants , ThumbsUpRavens , ThumbsUpDogs (not to be confused with sports teams).   The hands of Adam and God, Sistine Chapel (Source: Wikipedia )

Introduction to Startup Realities At Startup Realities: 1) The business models are real: all production, operation, marketing and finance strategies make commercial sense. 2) The science is real: from proven fundamental science to innovations and scientific discoveries published in the last several days. Any unconfirmed scientific hypotheses are marked as such ("hypothesis yet to be tested") 3) The startups are hypothetical but realistic, or at least feasible. After all, "the value of an idea lies in the using of it", said Thomas Edison. After all, the world is fractal: one thing leads to another and patterns repeat. Watch out for these patterns as they invariably lead to the next startup. Mandelbrot set fractal (Source: Wikipedia )
