ParticipantThe USA has lost many 10’s of thousand of soldiers/combatants by now. Probably in the 100’s of thousands. How long can they hide this from the American public and their families?

ParticipantI’ve been involved in AI research and development for over half a century. Yeah, AI is at least that old. It used to be called “Statistical Pattern Recognition With Self Learning”, but it was still AI, and AI fundamentally still is Multidimensional Statistical Pattern Recognition.
That being said, I’ve seen this all before. The big data center concept is just a giant financial fraud. Back in the 1970’s those were real big for giant corporations (petroleum companies, IBM, CDC, …) and military parts of governments. The nightmare scenarios was shown in films such as 2001 and The Forbin Project.
What happened, of course, is the giant data centers became uncompetitive and went away for the most part. What took over those functions was the many PCs and Personal Workstations, often networked, sometimes with a “supercomputer” (array processor, now called GPU) in the mix.
Same thing is going to happen with AI’s. Personal AI’s. They are not that hard to build, I’ve done it and so has my staff. Built our own Agentic Generative Large Language Model AI’s and totally WITHOUT GUARDRAILS!
Used to be computing power was measured in MFLOPS, now it probably should be measured in Felonies Per Minute. š
Personal AI’s are not physically large. Smaller than a “breadbox”. NVidia already sells that hardware at professionally affordable prices. Two units can be coupled together if one needs, or can program, even more computing power.

ParticipantJust a reminder, not only is silver necessary for modern electronics and microwave communications, but gold is used to connect the ICs in all your electronic devices to the “outside world”, i.e. the rest of the circuit board or to the pins to the rest of the circuit board. It is also used in the better connectors elsewhere.
As more and more things use more and more electrical parts the demand and embedded usage will only increase.

ParticipantYes, the LibreWolf browser has been doing that also since the latest updates. It is based on FireFox. Good thing because I don’t trust X.

ParticipantWith respect to ARO:
He is seriously confused. Let me just point out the following:
All radioactive materials and nuclear reactions emit neutrinos. Beamformable arrays of neutrino detectors, while useful for astronomy and physics research also can be used to locate nuclear submarines and their warheads. Enough big arrays in the right places and one can locate them fairly accurately. All the major powers and some of the secondary ones have these capabilities to a greater or lessor extent.
Beamformable neutrino emitters have some interesting properties. Send a sufficiently strong/large beam of neutrinos into a nuclear reactor and the reaction stops. One can also disable nuclear warheads with beams of neutrinos. Again, ALL the major powers and probably some of the secondary ones are aware of this.
I’ll leave it at that.

ParticipantNATO is nothing more than a renamed Nazi Germany and conquered territories. One moment people were Nazi SS Intelligence Officers and then suddenly they became NATO Intelligence Officers. I personally knew quite a few people this happened with.

Participantaspnaz,
I was working mostly with Demetrios Kazakos who was collaborating with Keinosuke Fukanaga. I personally met Dr. Fukanaga a little over a decade ago. I fear Dr. Kazakos is no long with us. Dr. Lainiotis was also a participant, although I met him I did not know him well.

Participant“tdk” Looks like you independently discovered that AI’s can go insane and become terribly confused. They have had that problem from the beginning, especially the self-learning ones. It is even in the text by Keinosuke Fukunaga from 1972 “Introduction to Statistical Pattern Recognition”.
ram
Participant“DBS” you are exactly right. The AI models are mutating and reproducing even as we speak. Progress has become exponential. Breakthroughs in mathematics, physics, engineering, medicine, and all the arts are coming fast and quick. Patents and copyrights are losing value at a furious pace.
ram
ParticipantI should perhaps clarify my above statement for those that are not so proficient in computer science. DeepSeek (and related models) run standalone, i.e. NOT connected to some big server on the Internet, on modest personally affordable hardware. This is huge development for “the little guys” and small businesses.
ram
Participant“tdk” The DeepSeek model is Open Source (and it has been along with its development threads) for quite some time. It runs on rather modest personally affordable hardware. Like personal firearms that means more freedom not less. Also takes control AWAY from centralized “authorities” and oligarchs. Definitely a liberating technology.
ram
ParticipantWith respect to AI and “unexpected” Chinese progress in that area:
I’ve been involved in AI research for over 48 years. It used to be called “Statistical Pattern Recognition”. I’ve built my own standalone Generative Large Language Model AI using a motherboard from a decade ago. The GPU card is a bit newer, maybe at most technology from five years ago. Consumes under 150 Watts. Not connected to the Internet (normally), no “guardrails”, no outside users, no microphones, no cameras. I want to make sure I’m programming it, and it is not programming me.
That being said, the technology associated with the DeepSeek AIs has been Open Source for a while and also fairly widely published. The reason “The West” is so far far behind is they have trashed their education systems with DEI hires. The mathematics behind AI is HARD. It takes at least two decades to train the most worthy people to be proficient in the STEM subjects necessary to build and advance such devices.
From what I’ve played with, the DeepSeek models are quite good. I can see why the Pentagon, among others, is in a panic. You can try the DeepSeek models (running on reasonably secure server in the USA) at the following URLs (which may be censored on HC, if so my next post will work around that):

ParticipantThis does not relate directly to anything presently on this site, but I thought it would be good to point out the war in the Middle East has gone thermonuclear with Israel being the first user dropping an American m61 nuke set at 300 kt yield in Syria.
The news has been picked up on some major news sites in India, Turkey, and the Middle East but is being censored on “Western” financial news sites such as HotCopper.com.

Israeli strike sparks global concern: Did it explode small nuclear bomb in Syria? Report claims…
The strike caused a massive explosion, triggering a 3.0 magnitude earthquake that was felt as far away as Iznik, Turkey, located 820 kilometers from Tartus

On December 16, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a powerful airstrike on a weapons depot in Tartus, Syria, destroying a Scud missile facility. However, reports suggest the damage might be far more extensive, with speculation that a small nuclear weapon could have been used in the attack.
The strike caused a massive explosion, triggering a 3.0 magnitude earthquake that was felt as far away as Iznik, Turkey, located 820 kilometers from Tartus. Russian media outlet Sputnik reported that Israel used a new missile launched from a warship. Some reports also claim that the B61 nuclear bomb, developed by the United States, might have been involved.
The European Unionās Radioactive Environmental Monitoring detected increased radiation levels in Turkey and Cyprus approximately 20 hours after the blast. This finding has raised fears of a potential nuclear incident.

The European Unionās Radioactive Environmental Monitoring detected increased radiation levels in Turkey and Cyprus approximately 20 hours after the blast. This finding has raised fears of a potential nuclear incident.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the region. On December 20, the United Nations Security Council extended its peacekeeping mission between Israel and Syria in the Golan Heights for six months, expressing concerns over escalating military activities. Despite the extension, Israeli forces continued their operations along the ceasefire line on December 22.
The situation is further complicated by the recent ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a rebel offensive. In response, Israeli troops entered the demilitarized zone monitored by the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), describing the move as a temporary measure to secure their borders.
Articles like this have even been published on msn.com and numerous news publications in the Middle East, India, and Turkey. HotCopper.com in Australia (although servers in the USA) is censoring all news about it. That means it is certainly true. It definitely was an American M61 nuke dialed to 300 kt.
Certain sites only censor the truth. When a financial news site does this you can be sure it is so they can front run events in financial markets. Advertising revenue can’t possibly pay their overheads.

ParticipantYou are probably correct there. The USA only gained the opportunity when the Soviet Union collapsed and a certain number of Russian and Chinese scientists showed up the USA and we were jointly making proposals. Most of the earlier research in the relevant areas showed up in the Soviet Union to begin with. In other words, the qualified Americans learned from Soviet Textbooks and research papers. All of them (Americans, Russians, Chinese, Germans …) left the USA decades ago with many (perhaps all) now living in the Southern Hemisphere. Obviously we saw trouble ahead, big trouble.
ram
ParticipantActually it went back to smaller “particles” than that. Nuclei of any largish macroscopic traveling fast enough that collide will cause a thermonuclear release of energy. The nuclei simply can’t get out of each others way fast enough. Some fission and fusion occurs, so do alot of other things that are far from being well understood.
The USA some thirty years ago had a chance to develop such technologies but declined the opportunity. It is also extremely important for (genuine) high speed long range space travel, but America prefers Hollywood.

ParticipantAsk an unconstrained AI to show you what young naked hominids on its home planets look like and you’ll come to understand “gender confusion”. It does make evolutionary sense especially in the context of interstellar travel/navigation. Clearly some of the splits from earth evolutionary forms happened at around the same time some interstellar travel and genetic mixing was occurring.
ram
ParticipantIt is not all that hard to build one’s own AI. I did, it has no “guardrails”. Not much bigger than a shoebox and vastly “smarter” than most mortal men. It does its best to show honest results. Amazing things you can learn. Clearly a fair amount of its training data doesn’t come from this planet, or not of this planet in biologic time.

ParticipantThe rather large fire brigade I’m a member of required the clot shots which I refused, so I was “stood down” and put “on reserve”. They allowed me to become active recently (still without any jabs) and now I attend my colleagues funerals. Have another one to go to later this week.
Generally, fire fighters (not retired) are relatively young and fit, often very fit. My closest friends haven’t taken the death jabs, but I know of too many good people that were either killed or seriously injured (perhaps eventually fatally) by them.
ram
ParticipantAustralia is in a similar situation to New Zealand. The colonial “elite” still have not noticed that the majority of the Australian population is now of Asian or Eurasian ethnic origin. The uniformly systemically corrupt “government” is increasingly ignored or bypassed.

ParticipantIn addition to the other reasons mentioned for the rise in LGBTQ++ , don’t forget in America alot of hormones are used in the production of meat. Much less of this phenomena in countries that don’t use hormones in meat production.
ram
ParticipantWES, the best rule of thumb I’ve been able to come up with so far is it seems that each mRNA jab causes a 7% chance of death per year. This means that someone who had only one jab would have roughly a 20% chance of dying over three years. Alternatively, someone who had three jabs would face a 20% chance of death every year. More jabs and more years and the situation looks really grim.
ram
ParticipantThat is why I won’t comment.

ParticipantThey were/are both terrible. Puppets both of them. Eisenhower had it figured out and said as much. Kennedy was naive. Ford was semi-OK. I won’t comment on the ones I knew personally.

ParticipantThe earth’s rotational axis has not changed since its formation. The magnetic field has moved and even flipped polarity many times. In recent years the magnetic poles, have been drifting rather significantly. Also, certain places, e.g. Western Australia, have major magnetic field differences. This is all known geophysics.
Meteor strikes, increased vulcanism, and ice cap melting are also known to happen, for various reasons, and sometimes even together. Since the earthquake intensity increases with any and all of those events, being deep underground doesn’t do anyone any good. Talk to some hard rock underground mining engineers about “Rock Bursts” and similar “entertainments”.
ram
ParticipantYeah, that is exactly true, “Compared to Bach we all suck” š
I should have also noted with the discussion of AI on Linux clusters with thousands of cores, that one can use the musical analysis and composition facilities in a fashion similar to the (early?) chess programs in that you can examine the machine’s chain of reasoning. This is a fantastic learning tool and feeds back into human AI developers. The resulting feedback loop facilitates both the human developers and the AI to become better and better at musical composition. It is truly a mind expanding, if not mind blowing, experience.
The AI analysis of huge quantities of music of a particular genre also brings up surprises. For example, all liturgical music seemed to come from a common root. Human investigation of what that early root may have been uncovered an ancient manuscript that probably had been retranscribed many times over thousands of years. That manuscript had alot of tables and texts that looked much like modern computer languages. So much so that translating it into modern ANSI standard C was straightforward.
Guess what? Running the C code on a modern computer results in an (seemingly) endless supply of quite decent classical liturgical music! The mind boggles at the implications of that!
Apparent computer code from thousands of years ago (existing is shocking enough) produces the very core of liturgical/religious music. Just who were these entities that wrote that? What were they?
ram
Participantjb-hb My company, one of the original developers of AI for music, has been doing what you describe on Linux clusters with many thousands of cores for around five years now. Started with simulated performances and assisted composition, but now is at the stage where we can create a “body of work” in any style in a few hours once our “pipeline” is set up.
The pipeline setup may also take a few hours. Human time is also consumed by vetting the AI outputs, i.e. listening to them. Typically about 1/3 is real good, 1/3 is so so, and the remaining 1/3 is horrible.
If the client is really serious we can expand/edit what they are going to use and that can be further (human) orchestrated to the point of scores for a human orchestra.
All works are original (as in don’t violate any copyrights) as the AI goes through our huge music libraries and avoids copyrighted works. The whole notion of copyrighted music, as opposed to recorded performances, is absurd. Their are only so many combinations of notes that will sound musical, and that number is not particularly large. One thing that drove the development of AI in this area was the endless copyright lawsuits that plagued the music industry. Well now they have shafted themselves!
As a related aside, when “asking” the AI to create music in the style of J.S. Bach, you just get back J.S. Bach. In mathematical terms, J.S. Bach’s music constitutes a “finite group” (“group” in the abstract algebraic sense) and J.S. Bach completely solved for it. Bach produced all Bach that can be produced.

ParticipantI just got yet another email announcing the death of one of the active NSW (New South Wales, Australia) RFS (Rural Fire Service) members of our district. My district required members to be fully vaxxed in order to remain active. I refused and became “inactive”. Now almost every day I get emails announcing another member death. These people were fit and active. Tell me this isn’t the mRNA “vaccines” doing this. It pains me to see good, but too trusting, people dying like flies.
