Tailored machine learning mechanisms and large language models can be far more useful, but ideas about AI “going rogue”, and the more revolutionary predictions for the capabilities, are rather overblown and unrealistic. Some of these misconceptions may come from the language we use.
Emergent Space-Time?
Like the properties of fluids, they are asserting that the properties of what we perceive as space-time emerge from some more basic components – the atoms of space-time. Easy enough to say, but what does it really mean?
The Physicist’s Rabbit Hole
A good storyteller, like a good engineer, needs to know what assumptions to make, and be aware of the assumptions which could undermine a project.
Artificial Intelligence in Storytelling
The paper examines the comparative creativity of stories written by people who did not use AI, or who had access to AI.
Deorbiting the Space Station
Like the Mercury and Apollo capsules, like the space shuttles, the ISS, to borrow a phrase, belongs in a museum.
TENGs in Space
Years ago, I shared an article about triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), and I suggested I might follow up with more detail someday. Since then, I launched one on a rocket.
Information about Misinformation on Disinformation
While the terms are often conflated, misinformation and disinformation are not equivalent, and efforts both to study and address them should take care of that distinction.
Manufacturing Commercial Space
So long as government contracts remain the primary revenue source for companies operating in the space industry, commercial space is just a shell.
Imagination Vs. Extrapolation
Imagination isn’t just thinking about what could be. It’s asking what if anything could be.
Contraptions
Take some sensors, maybe some servomotors, and a microcontroller, write a quick program, and you're all set to do whatever it is you want to do.
