"Many of the world’s major players in low Earth orbit, including small satellite startups and big national space programs, are currently testing and developing AI constellation-management systems. "Machine-learning algorithms are proving increasingly adept at making more accurate collision warnings and performing automated decision-making —as well as sharpening the resolution of small object detection to find smaller orbiting stuff than what non-AI-powered tracking tech can see.  "Some companies and research teams are also developing AI tools to go beyond just keeping pace with the problem, using AI to optimize fuel usage and maintain ideal satellite configurations for low battery usage and simplified signal traffic as well. "However, for all its smarts, AI still can’t make the most difficult orbital hazards go away."

"The Pentagon has been all in on AI and drones for years now, but it hasn’t gone well. "Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Pentagon is struggling to deploy AI weapons and is worried about catching up to China.  "A Biden era initiative called Replicator was meant to help bridge the gap between dreams and reality, but hasn’t worked fast enough for its critics.  "So the Pentagon is turning the project over to Special Operations Command —the part of the Pentagon in charge of its operators —under a new division called Defense Autonomous Warfare Group (DAWG).  "This means that the military leaders who run SEAL Team Six will soon be in charge of getting AI controlled drone swarms to the troops."

✨AI Mode  "The phrase 'will Shakespeare uses brave 18 times in tempest yet only 3 times in macbeth' is a statement about William Shakespeare's historical work, not a future action he will take. The statement is a bit overstated regarding the exact numbers, but the general point is correct: Shakespeare used the word 'brave' significantly more often in The Tempest than in Macbeth , with a different thematic purpose in each play. "Word count and context "While specific word counts can vary slightly depending on the edition of the play, literary analysis consistently shows a high frequency of 'brave' in The Tempest and a much lower frequency in Macbeth .  "In The Tempest Frequency: Numerous sources note that 'brave' is a recurring and important word throughout the play. For example, the education website Kibin.com , citing textual criticism, states the word is used at least 14 times. Connotation: In The Tempest , 'brave' oft...

"I coded the world wide web on a single computer in a small room. But that small room didn’t belong to me, it was at Cern. "Cern was created in the aftermath of the second world war by the UN and European governments who identified a historic, scientific turning point that required international collaboration. It is hard to imagine a big tech company agreeing to share the world wide web for no commercial reward like Cern allowed me to.  "That’s why we need a Cern-like not-for-profit body driving forward international AI research. "I gave the world wide web away for free because I thought that it would only work if it worked for everyone. Today, I believe that to be truer than ever.  "Regulation and global governance are technically feasible, but reliant on political willpower . If we are able to muster it, we have the chance to restore the web as a tool for collaboration, creativity and compassion across cultural borders." 

"If you just do a causal analysis at the end of training, then you might find that a particular neuron is really important, that shutting it off destroys model performance at some task. "You might say, 'OK, the model becomes bad at French when I push this button.' But maybe that neuron just has other strong interactions with the rest of the model. Messing with it is likely to have some impact, but not necessarily the impact that you’re imagining. "One of the advantages of looking at the training process is that you can be more precise: If a structure in the model is responsible for a particular model function, you might expect the structure and the function to arise together.  "We saw something like this in a particular kind of language model called a masked language model . A type of internal structure developed first, and immediately after that, the model started getting much better very quickly at certain challenging grammatical concepts."

"One of the world’s most powerful technology leaders has reportedly warned that regulating artificial intelligence risks hastening the coming of the Antichrist. "Peter Thiel, the conservative billionaire who co-founded Palantir, the data analytics group, and PayPal, the payments operator, is said to have made the comments during a lecture delivered in San Francisco this week. "Thiel, a former donor to Donald Trump and mentor to JD Vance, the vice-president, said that fearing or regulating promising technology and scientific progress, including in AI, risked courting the devil , according to the Wall Street Journal , which cited people who attended the event. "Palantir said last week it would invest up to £1.5 billion in the UK, creating up to 350 jobs, part of a package of announcements from US technology companies which coincided with Trump’s state visit."

"Netizen Voices: AI face-swap straight-washes Gay Couple in Imported Horror Movie Together : 'We’ve reached the point where it’s not a matter of cuts, but of falsification and misrepresentation.' "Some viewers noted, alongside cuts to sex scenes, a less familiar and overt form of alteration: one male character in a scene originally depicting a same-sex wedding was digitally replaced with a woman.  "The critically acclaimed U.S.-Australian body-horror movie Together launched in China on September 19." 

"Model context protocol shows how quickly useful tools can outgrow their original design. "'It has been a bit of a surprise,' Colvin says about the rapid adoption. 'But in retrospect, it seems obvious. We had all these agents, but connecting stuff to them was hard, and then suddenly you could build a protocol that people would trust .' "What started as a way to read desktop files now might handle corporate authentication, sensitive financial data, and hiring decisions.  "The gap between what model context protocol was built for and what it’s being asked to do might be widening.  "The challenge now is building safeguards thoughtfully enough to preserve both innovation and trust —because losing either one kills the promise of both."

"A joint study by Stanford University researchers and a workplace performance consulting firm published in the Harvard Business Review details the plight of workers who have to fix their colleagues’ AI-generated workslop , which they describe as work content that masquerades as good work, but lacks the substance to meaningfully advance a given task .  "The research, based on a survey of 1,150 workers, is the latest analysis to suggest that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in some magic productivity boom and instead has just increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated 'work.' "MIT report calls this the 'GenAI Divide,' where many companies are pushing expensive AI tools on their workers (and even more workers are using AI without explicit permission), but that few are seeing any actual return from it."

⭐AI Overview  "There isn't a single corporation that perfectly fits all criteria (highest ROI, highest P/B, lowest PEG, lowest P/E, lowest P/S) simultaneously, as these metrics often conflict. Finding a company with extreme values in both high and low metrics is extremely difficult, and high ROI/P/B companies are often growth-oriented, which can lead to higher PEG, P/E, and P/S ratios. To find companies that meet your specific investment strategy, you would need to use a stock screener with these criteria and analyze the results, as these metrics are constantly changing.  "Why a single company is unlikely: Conflicting Metrics: High Return on Investment (ROI) and Price-to-Book (P/B) often indicate strong performance and investor confidence, which typically leads to higher valuations (higher P/E, P/S).  Opposing Business Models: Companies with high growth potential and high ROI/P/B are often in growth phases, while companies with extremely low P/E or P/S ratios (like value ...

✨AI Mode  "Identifying a single 'best' paper on the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls for eschatology is impossible, as the answer is subjective and depends on an individual's theological or academic perspective. The field is extensive, with prominent scholars often publishing books or contributing to edited volumes rather than just one standalone paper. However, a book edited by Craig A. Evans offers an excellent entry point, as it collects important papers on the subject by various respected scholars.  "Recommended resource for the eschatology of the Dead Sea Scrolls Eschatology, Messianism, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, edited by Craig A.

Both ai_mode and ai_overview begin by saying that scholars assess 4 gospels were  Gathered from oral tradition,  Written anonymously after 60 CE, and  Attributed to apostles to boost authority.  Sources include quora, reddit, etc but no academic papers from scholars —not that scholars seriously argue about this issue.  [ Rapture ?] [Many places in scripture show  people  doing or saying things without instruction from god.] [Perhaps oral tradition includes instructions… but the differences that now exist are so  stark  as to be really, really startling…]

"Cognitive deskilling is having a secondary, deleterious metalevel impact on trust decisions and trusting relationships between people and between people and organizations. "It is the timid response to this metalevel issue that we draw attention to in this article.  "We start by demolishing the common category mistake that LLMs are just the same  as pocket calculators, i.e., LLMs are simply a logical progression in the development of tools to improve efficiency, enhance human competence, or free time for other more socially productive pursuits.  "We conclude that LLMs represent, in fact, a difference in kind, not degree.  "Based on this perspective, we go back to first principles and apply a general model for making trust decisions, through which we argue that the input signals for a trust decision with respect to LLM usage are being distorted: what people think they are trusting —in fact, overtrusting —is really a thin veneer for what they are actually, and p...

"As AI bots like ChatGPT become inextricably tangled with people's private and public lives, it's causing unpredictable new crises. "One of these collision points is in romantic relationships, where an uncanny dynamic is unfolding across the world: one person in a couple becomes fixated on ChatGPT or another bot —for some combination of therapy, relationship advice, or spiritual wisdom —and ends up tearing the partnership down as the AI makes more and more radical interpersonal suggestions. "Nearly all of these now-exes are currently locked in divorce proceedings and often bitter custody battles. "Even Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist known as a Godfather of AI  —a technology that likely wouldn't exist in its current form without his contributions —recently conceded that his girlfriend had broken up with him using ChatGPT."

"Researchers at Caltech and Gran Sasso Science Institute in Italy teamed up with Google DeepMind to develop a new AI method —called Deep Loop Shaping —that can better hush unwanted noise in LIGO's detectors. "The term noise  can refer to any number of pesky background disturbances that interfere with data collection. "The noise can be literal noise, as in sound waves, but in the case of LIGO, the term often refers to a very tiny amount of jiggling in the giant mirrors at the heart of LIGO. Too much jiggling can mask gravitational-wave signals. "Now, reporting in Science , the researchers show that their new AI algorithm , though still a proof-of-concept, quieted motions of the LIGO mirrors by 30 to 100 times more than what is possible using traditional noise-reduction methods alone."

Pope Leo XIV said a proposal to create an AI-version of him so people could have a virtual audience with the pope pretty much horrified him. "'If there's anybody who should not be represented by an avatar, I would say the pope is high on the list,' he said in an interview with Elise Allen, a journalist and author. "Allen's July 30 interview with Leo is the last chapter of her biography, Leo XIV: Citizen of the World, Missionary of the XXI Century , which was published in Spanish by Penguin Peru Sept. 18. "The text of the interview, in English and Spanish, was given to reporters."

"Mr. Musk did not discuss the company’s revenues. But he reiterated his commitment to creating a competitor to Microsoft cheekily called Macrohard  that would use Grok to create software as well as an A.I. product for children ages 2 to 12 called Baby Grok . "Mr. Musk and his employees also emphasized the importance of xAI’s connections to the billionaire’s other companies, noting that Grok was already powering the voice of Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robots, which are being developed to handle work inside factories and other businesses. "Recently, he has publicly supported a Tesla shareholder proposal calling on the electric carmaker to invest in his A.I. start-up.  "Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the proposal in early November."

"Scheming refers to several types of dishonest behavior, including when a model lies, sandbags (strategically underperforms on an evaluation to hide its true abilities), or fakes alignment (when an AI model pretends to follow orders that don't align with its training in order to avoid being further scrutinized or re-trained). "These covert actions can imperil safety efforts, make testing less reliable, and hide model dangers. "An AI model that schemes, especially if acting through an autonomous agent, could quickly wreak havoc within an organization, deploy harmful actions, or be generally out of control.  "Plus, because scheming involves a model knowingly hiding its behavior from developers, it can be harder to identify than other security risks, like jailbreaking. "But tackling scheming isn't exactly an easy task. While trying to stop a model from scheming could work, those efforts could actually just teach models how to better hide that they're s...

"In May, during a tour of the Middle East, the president made a stop in the U.A.E. to announce the chips deal. He was joined by Mr. Witkoff, Mr. Sacks, Sheikh Tahnoon and other Emirati leaders at Qasr Al Watan, the presidential palace. "The officials gathered around a scale model of the technology facilities that the U.A.E. intends to build, using the American chips that the Trump administration had agreed to share . "That agreement is still subject to final approval. But in Abu Dhabi, the negotiators touted the framework as historic. "'This partnership has taken a significant leap forward since you assumed office,' Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the U.A.E., told Mr. Trump."

"More than 200 contractors who worked on evaluating and improving Google’s AI products have been laid off without warning in at least two rounds of layoffs last month. "The move comes amid an ongoing fight over pay and working conditions, according to workers who spoke to WIRED . "Just as content moderators help purge and classify content on social media, these workers use their expertise, skill, and judgment to teach chatbots and other AI products —including Google’s search summaries feature called AI Overviews —the right responses on a wide range of subjects.  "Workers allege that the latest cuts come amid attempts to quash their protests over issues including pay and job insecurity."

" Researchers are starting to use NCAs to program robot swarms. "Robot collectives were envisioned by science fiction writers such as Stanisłav Lem in the 1960s and started to become reality in the ’90s.  "Josh Bongard, a robotics researcher at the University of Vermont, said NCAs could design robots that work so closely together that they cease to be a mere swarm and become a unified organism. 'You imagine, like, a writhing ball of insects or bugs or cells,' he said. 'They’re crawling over each other and remodeling all the time. That’s what multicellularity is really like. And it seems —I mean, it’s still early days —but it seems like that might be a good way to go for robotics.' "To that end, Hartl, Levin and Andreas Zöttl, a physicist at the University of Vienna, have trained virtual robots —a string of beads in a simulated pond —to wriggle like a tadpole. 'This is a super-robust architecture for letting them swim,' Hartl said."

"Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during decision-making. "The data, gathered from 139 mice, encompass activity from more than 600,000 neurons in 279 areas of the brain — about 95% of the brain in a mouse.  "This map is the first to provide a complete picture of what happens across the brain as a decision is made. "'They have created the largest dataset anyone has ever imagined at this scale,' said Dr. Paul W. Glimcher, chair of the department of neuroscience and physiology and director of the Neuroscience Institute at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine, of the researchers."

"Tubulin functions a bit like Tinkertoys, the building toy with modular parts. "In eukaryotes, two versions of the protein, alpha and beta tubulin, snap together.  "Then they stack on top of each other to make long rods, which then assemble into tubes —usually 13 rods make a tube, although the number can vary depending on the specific type of cell.  "These microtubules exist in a delicate equilibrium, stacking on new tubulin units for a while, then reaching a crisis and falling apart.  "They grow and shrink as needed, forming an ever-changing skeleton."

"AI-based natural language production systems are currently able to produce unique text with minimal human intervention. "Because such systems are improving at a very fast pace, teachers who expect students to produce their own writing—  Engaging in the complex processes of generating and organizing ideas,  Researching topics,  Drafting coherent prose, and  Using feedback to make principled revisions that both improve the quality of the text and help them to develop as writers  "—Will confront the prospect that students can use the systems to produce human-looking text without engaging in these processes.  "In this article, we first describe the nature and capabilities of AI-based natural language production systems such as GPT-3, then offer some suggestions for how instructors might meet the challenges of the increasing improvement of the systems and their availability to students." 

"Guido Reichstadter, for the past week, has gone without a calorie.   "He’s survived on vitamins and electrolytes, conducting a hunger strike to protest the San Francisco startup Anthropic’s pursuit of super-powerful artificial intelligence .

'And I feel like that’s not an unreasonable request'."

"Why pay a celebrity podcast host millions when you can create your own using AI? "Inception Point AI is attempting to do just that, as the company builds a stable of AI talent to host podcasts, and eventually become broader influencers across social media, literature and more. "The company produces different levels of podcasts.  "The lowest level involves weather reports for various geographic areas or simple biographies and higher levels involving subject-area podcasts hosted by one of about 50 AI personalities they’ve created, including food expert Claire Delish, gardener and nature expert Nigel Thistledown and Oly Bennet, who covers off-beat sports ."

"Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have turned a protein found in living cells into a functioning quantum bit (qubit), the foundation of quantum technologies. "The protein qubit can be used as a quantum sensor capable of detecting minute changes and ultimately offering unprecedented insight into biological processes. "'Rather than taking a conventional quantum sensor and trying to camouflage it to enter a biological system, we wanted to explore the idea of using a biological system itself and developing it into a qubit,' said David Awschalom, co-principal investigator of the project, Liew Family Professor of Molecular Engineering at UChicago PME and director of the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE). ' Harnessing nature to create powerful families of quantum sensors —that's the new direction here'."

"As enterprises invest an ever-increasing percentage of their tech budget on AI, they expect it to deliver groundbreaking efficiencies and more informed decision-making. "But there’s a problem many don’t see coming: Latency." "For AI systems to be beneficial, they must be able to access and process data quickly, whether they’re generating content, classifying data or making real-time decisions.  "Every millisecond counts.  "The root cause of lag in many AI pipelines isn’t the model or the compute layer; it’s the database ."

"Big Sleep, which is developed by the company’s AI department DeepMind as well as its elite team of hackers Project Zero, reported its first-ever vulnerabilities, mostly in open source software such as audio and video library FFmpeg and image-editing suite ImageMagick .  "Given that the vulnerabilities are not fixed yet, we don’t have details of their impact or severity, as Google does not yet want to provide details, which is a standard policy when waiting for bugs to be fixed.  "But the simple fact that Big Sleep found these vulnerabilities is significant, as it shows these tools are starting to get real results, even if there was a human involved in this case." 

"Our study delves into the co-evolution of two forms of emotional guilt: social guilt entails a cost, requiring agents to exert efforts to understand others’ internal states and behaviours; and non-social guilt, which only involves awareness of one’s own state, incurs no social cost. "Resorting to methods from evolutionary game theory, we study analytically, and through extensive numerical and agent-based simulations, whether and how guilt can evolve and deploy, depending on the underlying structure of the systems of agents.  "Our findings reveal that in lattice and scale-free networks, strategies favouring emotional guilt dominate a broader range of guilt and social costs compared to non-structured well-mixed populations, leading to higher levels of cooperation."

"We, in collaboration with Jeff Clune’s lab at UBC, propose something more feasible: a system that harnesses the principles of open-ended algorithms like Darwinian evolution to search for improvements that empirically improve performance. "We call the result the Darwin Gödel Machine ( full technical report ). "DGMs leverage foundation models to propose code improvements, and use recent innovations in open-ended algorithms to search for a growing library of diverse, high-quality AI agents.  "Our experiments show that DGMs improve themselves the more compute they are provided.  "In line with the clear trend that AI systems that rely on learning ultimately outperform those designed by hand, there is a potential that DGMs could soon outperform hand-designed AI systems."

"OpenAI wants ChatGPT to know more about you, including your emails, calendar events in Google Calendar, and even your Google contacts, to reference everything in a conversation. "In a new support document update, OpenAI confirmed it’s rolling out support for Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT (Pro). "For those unaware, Connectors allow you to connect third-party services to ChatGPT.  "Once a service has been connected, ChatGPT can reference it in the chat."

"In October, a new academic conference will debut that’s unlike any other.  "Agents4Science is a one-day online event that will encompass all areas of science, from physics to medicine.  "All of the work shared will have been researched, written, and reviewed primarily by AI, and will be presented using text-to-speech technology.   "The conference is the brainchild of Stanford computer scientist James Zou, who studies how humans and AI can best work together."

✨AI Mode "According to the Bible, direct communication between humans on Earth and beings in heaven is not a regular occurrence and is often initiated by divine beings for specific purposes. Communication typically happens in extraordinary circumstances, not as a normal practice for believers. The methods include:  "Divine communication "The Bible describes several ways that God, and by extension other heavenly beings like angels, have spoken to humans. Direct voice: Some biblical figures, such as Moses and Saul (later Paul), heard the audible voice of a heavenly being. Dreams and visions: God and angels often relayed messages through dreams or prophetic visions. Examples include Jacob's dream of a ladder to heaven and Joseph receiving instructions about Mary and Jesus in a dream. Angelic messengers: Angels frequently appeared in human form to deliver divine messages. For example, the angel Gabriel announced the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus to Zechariah and Ma...

"Edward Saatchi, CEO of Amazon-backed startup Fable, sees AI as 'possibly the end of human creativity,' at least as an exclusive phenomenon. "And no, he doesn’t believe that’s a bad thing.

The analysis is a multi-step process that combines careful excavation with advanced laboratory and scientific techniques.  "Excavation and stratification Excavation: When anthropologists excavate a midden, they work in layers, or strata, to maintain the site's chronological context. This is crucial because deeper layers generally represent older time periods. Stratigraphy: Examining the different layers helps determine how the midden accumulated over time. For example, layers of ash and charcoal might indicate cooking fires, while specific soil layers or deposits could point to events like floods or periods of abandonment.  "Laboratory analysis "After excavation, artifacts and organic materials are sent to laboratories for detailed analysis.  Faunal analysis: The animal bones found in a midd...

"Here, we propose efficient experimentally feasible digital qudit quantum circuits for far-from-equilibrium quench dynamics of a U(1)  quantum link lattice gauge theory, where the electric and gauge fields are represented as spin-1 operators. "Using dedicated numerical simulations, we probe scattering processes in this model on these proposed circuits, focusing on meson-meson and meson-antimeson collisions.  "The latter are not possible with a two-level representation of the fields, highlighting the suitability of qudits in exploring scattering processes relevant to quantum electrodynamics.  "The probed scattering dynamics showcases rich physics, including meson flipping and a reflection-transmission transition in meson-antimeson collisions as a function of the gauge coupling strength.  "Our simulations, which include realistic noise models of dephasing and depolarization, show very good agreement with the exact noiseless dynamics, signaling the readiness of cu...

"For quantum simulators, the real trophy will be the field underlying the strong force.  "This force binds quarks and gluons together to make protons and neutrons.  "The quantum field theory describing it, called quantum chromodynamics, or QCD, is mathematically much more complex than the theory of the electromagnetic field. But it likely holds the key to understanding how matter behaves in extreme conditions, and how to create new types of exotic materials. "'In QCD, there’s just an enormous amount of things we cannot calculate,' Muschik said. 'Our lack of understanding is just so much more gigantic.' "Simulating the full dynamics of QCD is a distant goal, but some researchers argue that qudit-based computers provide the best chance of getting there."

"The Fourier transform has spread its roots throughout pure mathematics research, too .  "Harmonic analysis —which studies the Fourier transform, as well as how to reverse it to rebuild the original function —is a powerful framework for studying waves.  "Mathematicians have also found that harmonic analysis has deep and unexpected connections to number theory.  "They’ve used these connections to explore relationships among the integers, including the distribution of prime numbers, one of the greatest mysteries in mathematics."

"Generative AI is a toy. And it’s only free because venture capital firms like Menlo subsidise it so heavily. "What happens when the venture subsidy stops flowing and the chatbots suddenly have to pay their way?  "What happens when the prices multiply 5× to 10× and there’s no free tier?  "Are you going to casually muck about with a chatbot at $200 a month? Probably not. "If you have to cajole employees into using the AI, then you need to consider that maybe chatbots don’t work well enough that people would use them casually if they had to pay —that the '97%' free users are not in fact likely to start paying out their own pockets. And you just set all that venture money on fire. And it’s not coming back."

"Benefits promised by AI companies have yet to fully materialize and the harms associated with the technology are increasingly clear. "A recent study from MIT showed that 95% of companies they studied received no return on investment from their generative AI programs, while another study this month from Stanford researchers found AI was severely hurting young workers’ job prospects.  "Meanwhile, the concern around AI’s impact on mental health was back in the spotlight this past week after the parents of a teenager who died by suicide filed a lawsuit against OpenAI blaming the company’s chatbot for their son’s death."
