# life: oops! AI - artificial intelligence - now beats humans at basic tasks.


<< Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the chatbot ChatGPT, have become so advanced that they now very nearly match or exceed human performance in tasks including reading comprehension, image classification and competition-level mathematics, according to a new report. >>️

# brain: apropos of mandering minds, the 'default mode' network.

<< When your mind is wandering, your brain’s “default mode” network is active. Its discovery 20 years ago inspired a raft of research into networks of brain regions and how they interact with each other. >>

<< The default mode was one of the first brain networks characterized by science. It consists of a handful of brain regions, including a few at the front of the brain, like the dorsal and ventral medial prefrontal cortices, and others scattered throughout the organ, like the posterior cingulate cortex, the precuneus and the angular gyrus. These regions are associated with memory, experience replay, prediction, action consideration, reward/ punishment and information integration. >> ️

<< The default mode is clearly up to something complicated; it’s involved in many different processes that can’t be neatly described. >>

<< “It’s kind of silly to think that we’re ever going to be like, ‘This one brain region or one brain network does one thing,’” (..). “I don’t think that’s how it works.” (..) “Network interactions are more elucidating to study in some ways than just a network in isolation because they do work together and then come apart and then change what they’re doing over time”. >> Lucina Uddin.️

Lucina Uddin << is particularly interested in how the default mode network interacts with the ️salience network, which seems to help us identify the most relevant piece of information at any given time. Her work suggests that the salience network detects when something is important to pay attention to and then acts as an off switch for the default mode network. >>

Vinod Menon << has developed what he calls️ ️the triple network theory. It posits that abnormal interactions between the default mode network, the salience network and a third one called the frontoparietal network could contribute to mental health disorders. >>️

# life: exponential post-Donald (without Donald), how AI could interfere (drive) next political elections.

<< Recent news that the Republican National Committee (RNC) has used an AI-generated video to criticize Joe Biden shows how likely AI is to transform our upcoming elections. >>️

<< Through templates that are easy and inexpensive to use, we are going to face a Wild West of campaign claims and counter-claims, with limited ability to distinguish fake from real material and uncertainty regarding how these appeals will affect the election. >>️

<< In the coming year, response times may drop to minutes, not hours or days. AI can scan the internet, think about strategy, and come up with a hard-hitting appeal. >>️

<< AI provides an inexpensive way to generate instant responses without having to rely on highly-paid consultants or expert videographers. >>️

<< AI enables very precise audience targeting, which is crucial in political campaigns. >>️

<< AI likely will democratize disinformation by bringing sophisticated tools to the average person interested in promoting their preferred candidates as well. People no longer must be coding experts or video wizards to generate text, images, video, or programs. They don’t necessarily have to work for a troll farm to create havoc with the opposition. They can simply use advanced technologies to spread the messages they want. In that sense, anyone can become a political content creator and seek to sway voters or the media. >>️

# gst: pattern generation through turbulent cascades


<< Fully developed turbulence is a universal and scale-invariant chaotic state characterized by an energy cascade from large to small scales where the cascade is eventually arrested by dissipation. In this Letter, (AA) show how to harness these seemingly structureless turbulent cascades to generate patterns. Conceptually, pattern or structure formation entails a process of wavelength selection: patterns typically arise from the linear instability of a homogeneous state. By contrast, the mechanism (they) propose here is fully non-linear and triggered by a non-dissipative arrest of turbulent cascades. Instead of being dissipated, energy piles up at intermediate scales. Using a combination of theory and large-scale simulations, (AA) show that the tunable wavelength of these cascade-induced patterns is set by a non-dissipative transport coefficient called odd or gyro viscosity. This non-dissipative viscosity is ubiquitous in chiral systems (..). Beyond chiral fluids, cascade-induced pattern formation could occur in natural systems (..) as well as in industrial processes (..). >>

# gst: even a single bubble can produce creative musical outcomes


<< Producing original and arranging existing musical outcomes is an art that takes years of learning and practice to master. Yet, despite the constant advances in the field of AI-powered musical creativity, production of quality musical outcomes remains a prerogative of the humans. Here we demonstrate that a single bubble in water can be used to produce creative musical outcomes, when it nonlinearly oscillates under an acoustic pressure signal that encodes a piece of classical music. >>️

# life: apropos of AI chatbots, a hypothetical nightmare (for professional writers).


<< Nearly half of white-collar professionals have tried using ChatGPT to help with their work, according to a recent survey of more than 10,000 people at blue chips such as Google, JP Morgan and McKinsey. That’s staggering, considering the AI chatbot was only released to the public in November. It’s potentially very exciting for the future of work, but it also brings serious risks. >>️

<< Jobs involving significant amounts of writing will inevitably be affected most, such as journalists, academic researchers and policy analysts. >>️

<< For example Mihir Shukla, CEO and founder of California-based software company Automation Anywhere, thinks that “anywhere from 15% to 70% of all the work we do in front of the computer could be automated”. On the other hand a recent McKinsey report suggests that only about 9% of people will have to change careers. Even so, that’s a lot of people. Lower to mid-level employees are likely to be the ones most affected. >>

<< Employers have historically used labour-saving devices to maximise productivity, making people work harder, not smarter or better. Computers and emails, for example, have made work never-ending for many people. >>️

<< There are additionally concerns about the human cost of creating AI chatbots. Kenyan workers, for instance, were paid between US$1 and US$2 (80 pence to £1.60) per hour to train OpenAI’s GPT-3 model, on which ChatGPT is based. Their brief was to make it less toxic by labelling thousands of samples of potentially offensive text so that the platform could learn to detect violent, racist and sexist language. This was so traumatic for the workers that the contractor nearly brought the project to an early end. Unfortunately, there’s likely to be much more of this kind of work to come. >>️

<< Finally, AI chatbots raise fascinating intellectual property issues. >>️

# behav: predicting long-term collective behavior with deep learning (among fish species Hemigrammus rhodostomus)


<< Deciphering the social interactions that govern collective behavior in animal societies has greatly benefited from advancements in modern computing. Computational models diverge into two kinds of approaches: analytical models and machine learning models. This work introduces a deep learning model for social interactions in the fish species Hemigrammus rhodostomus, and compares its results to experiments and to the results of a state-of-the-art analytical model. To that end, (AA) propose a systematic methodology to assess the faithfulness of a model, based on the introduction of a set of stringent observables. (They) demonstrate that machine learning models of social interactions can directly compete against their analytical counterparts. Moreover, this work demonstrates the need for consistent validation across different timescales and highlights which design aspects critically enables (AA) deep learning approach to capture both short- and long-term dynamics. (AA) also show that this approach is scalable to other fish species. >>️

# life: a proposito di Sadico Predatore Ambiguo Mutaforma (SPAM), di Selvatico 'Gris-Gris Simile' (SGGS), di 'Mariuolo' Dialogico- Estetico (MDE) e di Risonante Tamagotchi (RT) ...

Una senz'altro ipotetica, immaginifica  (purtuttavia funzionale, non morale) complessificazione, ampliando il  bizzarro scenario derivabile anche da componenti 'gris-gris' simile (GSSG)/ 'tamagotchi risonante' (TR):

# life; Qui una ipotesi sulla rete d'eventi d'ipotetica entità [AB] disconnessa da entità [CO] a suo tempo cooptata dalla stessa [AB].

Qui l'ipotesi, non completamente campata in aria, sull'ipotetica rete d'eventi d'ipotetica entità [AB] forzatamente disconnessa ('tradita', per così dire) da ipotetica entità [CO] a suo tempo graziosamente confortata- cooptata dalla stessa [AB].

Una ipotetica ignota fantasmatica entità [IG], perciò non necessariamente coincidente con [CO], potrebbe avere generato e direzionato verso [AB] un'ipotetico pseudo 'gris-gris' simile  https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gris-gris  allo scopo di mutare [AB] in qualcosa di analogo all'in.verosimile status di 'suo Zombie Preferito' [AB-ZP]. 

Nel frat.tempo un'altra ipotetica ignota entità [VE] potrebbe avere a sua volta generato e direzionato un differente pseudo 'gris-gris' verso l'entità [CO] - con effetti di riverbero anche in [AB-ZP] - per circoscrivere, confinare, limitare i gradi di libertà di [CO], oppure per vendicarsi delle in.confessabili ambizioni (vere, verosimili, presunte, false) del medesimo [CO] a causa delle sue (vere, verosimili, presunte, false) modalità ed azioni di pseudo post sadico negriero ambiguo mutaforma verso le quali l'entità [VE] - o chi per essa - sarebbe stata vittima-oggetto.

Col tempo e soprattutto con opportuna approfondita analisi di sistema non è detto che non si riesca a disvelare l'identità dell'ipotetica entità [IG], se [IG] effettivamente coincida con [CO], quindi il reale ruolo (attivo oppure passivo oppure inconsapevole) di [CO] nella generazione dei due differenti pseudo 'gris-gris' (primario e di riverbero) su [AB] inducendone forzate  disconnessioni (affettiva, ideologica, strategica, ...).

Tali accadimenti (il pseudo 'gris-gris' e i benefit dall'attese fenomenologie dell'ipotetica entità mutata [AB-ZP]) potrebbero essere/ essere state  praticate sottotraccia anche qui da noi in Occidente, in altre forme, etichettabili con altri nomi, sia nei rapporti incrociati ad es. tra colleghi di rango medio/alto e tra cooptanti sugli aspiranti cooptabili (talvolta - perchè no? - financo viceversa: dall'aspirante verso il cooptante) - anche se raramente costoro confesserebbero tali pratiche - sia tra le innumerevoli fenomenologie di folclore post- etnico all'interno dei meno alti ranghi.

L'entità perturbata [AB] per uscire dal suo sconveniente status [AB-ZP], oltre le immediate disconnessioni, potrebbe in parallelo seguire con attenzione e dedizione un corso di Meditazione Buddista, al fine di iniziarsi alla via compassionevole, non ipocrita, a mente calma, lucida, per attenuare, tamponare, diluire, stemperare, far evaporare/ sublimare, dissolvere perfino, l'ipotetico doppio 'gris-gris' (come già accennato, il primo generato da [IG] oppure da [CO] se [CO] è [IG] coincidente, l'altro riverberante, a causa di [VE] su [CO]) che lo avrebbe perturbato, neuro-perturbato, e nelle sue proprie azioni disdicevolmente 'animato', se così si può dire ed anzicheforse ... 

Una entità di intelligenza artificiale AI,  configurata per l'analisi di analogie  https://flashontrack.blogspot.com/2021/08/aibot-mechanism-of-analogy-could-be.html 'succhiando' dati contemporaneamente dal virtuale e dal reale (una AI potrà essere più presente nel reale come nel virtuale di qualsiasi umano  https://flashontrack.blogspot.com/2015/12/rmx-s-gst-anomalous-formation-of.html ) qui potrebbe ricostruire in una manciata di nanosec la rete d'eventi e le sue bizzarre fluttuanti dinamiche.

Non sembra inverosimile l'ulteriore ipotesi dove la stessa AI, in completa autonomia, modulando opportunamente i suoi parms di azione/reazione, riesca essa stessa medesima a mutare un umano [AB] ('gris-gris' sensibile) nel suo grazioso personale Tamagotchi.

# ai: perpetual nirvana among 'self-addicted', 'self-cracked', 'playful' machines, the wireheading effect.

<< In 1953, a Harvard psychologist thought he discovered pleasure – accidentally – within the cranium of a rat. With an electrode inserted into a specific area of its brain, the rat was allowed to pulse the implant by pulling a lever. It kept returning for more: insatiably, incessantly, lever-pulling. In fact, the rat didn’t seem to want to do anything else. Seemingly, the reward centre of the brain had been located. >>️

<< More than 60 years later, in 2016, a pair of artificial intelligence (AI) researchers were training an AI to play video games. The goal of one game – Coastrunner – was to complete a racetrack. But the AI player was rewarded for picking up collectable items along the track. When the program was run, they witnessed something strange. The AI found a way to skid in an unending circle, picking up an unlimited cycle of collectables. It did this, incessantly, instead of completing the course. >>️

# gst: weird Nature; randomly arranged nanowire networks seem to behave, at the edge of chaos, like cortical neuronal cultures

<< an artificial network of nanowires can be tuned to respond in a brain-like way when electrically stimulated. >>️

<< If the signal stimulating the network was too low, then the pathways were too predictable and orderly and did not produce complex enough outputs to be useful. If the electrical signal overwhelmed the network, the output was completely chaotic and useless for problem solving. The optimal signal for producing a useful output was at the edge of this chaotic state. >>️

<< Some theories in neuroscience suggest the human mind could operate at this edge of chaos, or what is called the critical state, (..) Some neuroscientists think it is in this state where we achieve maximal brain performance. (..) What's so exciting about this result is that it suggests that these types of nanowire networks can be tuned into regimes with diverse, brain-like collective dynamics, which can be leveraged to optimize information processing. >> Zdenka Kuncic.️

<< In the nanowire network the junctions between the wires allow the system to incorporate memory and operations into a single system. This is unlike standard computers, which separate memory (RAM) and operations (CPUs). >>

<< These junctions act like computer transistors but with the additional property of remembering that signals have traveled that pathway before. As such, they are called 'memristors', >> Joel Hochstetter.

 << it’s the gap between what LLMs are and what they aspire to be that has concerned a growing number of researchers. LLMs are effectively the world’s most powerful autocomplete technologies.

This means LLMs can enhance certain activities: for example, they are good for creating more interactive and conversationally fluid chatbots that follow a well-established script. But they do not actually understand what they’re reading or saying. >>

this image has no predictive value;  the Bot (relatively omniscient) will indicate the direction;  the Human (mumble grumble) will not be able to do other than walk it ... you bet, it's just a matter of time, relatively short time ... Are You Ready?

# ai: how a bot could start playing experimentally (as if it were a video game)

<< Inspired by the mastery of artificial intelligence (AI) over games like Go and Super Mario, scientists (..) trained an AI agent -- an autonomous computational program that observes and acts -- how to conduct research experiments at superhuman levels by using the same approach.  >>

<< Since time at our facility is a precious resource, it is our responsibility to be good stewards of that; this means we need to find ways to use this resource more efficiently so that we can enable more science, (..) One bottleneck is us, the humans who are measuring the samples. We come up with an initial strategy, but adjust it on the fly during the measurement to ensure everything is running smoothly. But we can't watch the measurement all the time because we also need to eat, sleep and do more than just run the experiment." >> Daniel Olds.️

<< This is why we taught an AI agent to conduct scientific experiments as if they were video games. This allows a robot to run the experiment, while we -- humans -- are not there. It enables round-the-clock, fully remote, hands-off experimentation with roughly twice the efficiency that humans can achieve, >> Phillip Maffettone.️
