Immutable Distribution

Immutable means that something is unchanging over time or unable to be changed.

In the context of blockchain, distribution refers to a decentralized data storage model. Instead of one central database where all data is stored and subject to compromise, blocks of information are stored simultaneously in multiple locations and computationally locked together.

Hence, immutable distribution constitutes the heart and soul of blockchain.  Once data is stored in a blockchain network, it can never be changed without alerting the rest of the network.

More data blocks can be added, but earlier data blocks are continuously confirmed as unchanged.  Immutable distribution represents an improved paradigm of data storage.

The AI Jobs Apocalypse Is Here (Just Not Where You Think)

Artificial intelligence was supposed to wipe out millions of jobs by now. Instead, unemployment has barely moved, programming and outsourcing jobs are still growing, and recent research finds little evidence of widespread AI-driven job loss. So what’s going on? We look at the possibility that AI is reshaping work less through mass layoffs and more …

It’s Happening: AI Eats Physics

After mathematics, AI is now coming for physics, writing papers on new particles, dark matter and the fine structure constant. OpenAI claims progress on a major physics problem, but physicists say it doesn’t matter. Maybe the real problem isn’t the AI. Let’s take a look.
