Idea: Connect 50 Sensors to AI to Discover Novel Emergent Measurements
seanmcdonaldxyz · x · 2026-09-02
A speculative idea suggests buying 50 different types of sensors from Amazon and connecting them to an AI. The goal is to let the AI synthesize data from various sensor classes to discover novel, emergent measurements. The author hypothesizes that such a setup could reveal unexpected value comparisons, such as a $20 camera showing the same capabilities as a $2000 one.
