The Quiet Revolution: When Prediction Became Cheap
Imagine a world where machines can predict what you'll buy before you know you want it. Where your health problems are diagnosed before symptoms appear. Where traffic accidents become rare because vehicles anticipate hazards seconds before humans could notice them. This isn't science fiction-it's the economic revolution unleashed when prediction became cheap. The breakthrough moment came in 2012 at the ImageNet competition, when neural networks suddenly slashed image recognition error rates by an unprecedented margin. This triggered Google's $600 million acquisition of DeepMind and eventually prompted China's multi-billion-dollar AI investments. What happened? Prediction-filling in missing information using data you have-became radically cheaper, setting off ripples that continue transforming our economy and society. What makes this revolution so powerful yet deceptively subtle? When something fundamental becomes drastically cheaper-whether artificial light in the 1800s or prediction today-it transforms society in ways both expected and surprising. An improvement from 98% to 99.9% accuracy might seem modest, but it reduces errors twentyfold-enough to completely reshape industries. And prediction machines are now tackling problems we never previously thought of as prediction challenges: Google Translate improved by asking "what English text would a human translator produce?" rather than adding grammatical rules.
