I was thinking about a way to predict future outcomes and I started to realize it's actually fairly easy when you're talking about enough people. I mean people generally go different directions, so they tend to head every possible direction collectively. Let me give you this example.
----Car 2 30% ---- (Point B) 30 minutes
(Point A) ---- Bus 1 50% ---- (Point B) 45 minutes
---- Bike 3 20% ---- (Point B) 1 hour
1 : Information says largest percentage take bus
2 : Information says second largest percentage take car
3 : Information says third largest percentage take car
Just a simple example. It's not how this is useful, although you could say based on information you should have a lot of buses. What it's better at is predicting future outcomes. Let's try this example.
---- 70% Law abiding citizens --- (Robots not misused)
(Robots proliferate) ---- 20% Somewhat criminal --- (Robots misused about 50% to 100% chance)
---- 10% Habitually criminal --- (Robots Misused 100% chance)
I just made up the numbers but we can see from our chart that 20%-30% will likely misuse the technology of robots. That's a more solid example of how it can be used, provided you have the information to make that deduction.
