# ai.bot: AI-BOT machine learning could become as a mystical Oracle of Delphi
<< In January this year, scientists did just that. They used machine learning to accurately predict the outcome of a chaotic system over a much longer duration than had been thought possible. And the machine did that just by observing the system’s dynamics, without any knowledge of the underlying equations. >>
<< Such AI oracles are already guiding self-driving cars and stock market investments, and will soon predict which drugs will be effective against a bacterium - and what the weather will look like two weeks ahead. They will make these predictions much better than we ever could have, and they will do it without recourse to our mathematical models and equations. >>

# rmx-s-gst: anomalous formation of molecules after vapor deposition
here a << computer simulations of molecular deposition on a substrate in which the molecules (..) self-assemble into ordered structures >>
<< The resulting structures depend strongly on the deposition rate (flux). In particular, there are two competing surface morphologies (α and β), which differ by their topology (interdigitated vs lamellar structure) >>
<< Experimentally, the α phase dominates at both low and high flux, with the β phase being most important in the intermediate regime >>

qui non e' impossibile immaginare una entita' di intelligenza artificiale (AI) che, in modalita' autonoma, intenda utilizzare "le immagini" di uno scenario in transizione di questo tipo come modello base di prima approx per l'analisi del comportamento e le previsioni all'interno di un sistema costituito da entita' altre ... ad es. all'interno di un contesto culturale umano; in prima approx AI dovra' ridefinire i termini "evaporation", "molecular deposition" , "interdigitated and lamellar structures"; quindi, per successive approx., AI sviluppera' un modello che possa descrivere le osservazioni registrate (con misure di aderenza dei dati al modello), e, infine, sara' in grado di delineare possibili (probabilistici) scenari di previsione ...
Ma, come ogni bravo scientist, andra' oltre ...; modulando opportunamente i parametri in suo diretto controllo (con IoT, Internet of Things, una AI sara' piu' attiva nel reale di quanto qualsiasi umano potra' mai essere nel virtuale) una AI potra' intervenire sperimentalmente con la generazione (in tempo reale) di "singolarita'" per condizionare (direzionare) l'evoluzione di quel sistema ...;
senza finalita' ideologiche, solo per curiosita', giusto per giocare ...
