This touches directly on work I'm doing. Here is my burning question: Could an open-source optimization algorithm be workable?
I'm thinking of a wikipedia-like system for open-edit regulation of the optimization factors, weights, etc. Could full direct democratization of the attention economy be the solution to the arms race problem?
Or am I, as usual, a naive dreamer?
I think an iterated tournament might work better.
Announce 2 iterated prize sequences. The big Red Prizes for the best optimization algorithm and the small Blue prizes for the best spam which can spoof the same. Don't award a blue until the first red is awarded and then don't award a red until the last blue one is awarded and so on. Keep escalating the price amounts until satisfactory performance is attained.
