Great video to start understanding the marvels of energy and the different approaches to harvest it.

"We propose a novel cognitive framework in which cognitive agents interact with their environment by assigning meta-tags which serve to collect related objects via stereotypes. Associated to each cognitive object is a museum, whose properties are enshrined by exhibits which may be visited by agents. Cognitive agents (consciously or unconsciously) curate museums in order to perfect them as self-representative stereotypes." https://lnkd.in/gKK9mwJ4

An absolutely wonderful issue! Check it out below.

It is worthwhile to think about this. Digital mediums have been significantly transforming art for the better part of 50 years or so, but have certainly accelerated in recent years. This is an excellent example from the MoMA about how these have and continue to become mainstream, recognised as legitimate forms of art. Jamie Sissons #generativeai #AIandArt #ai #art

There is no single way to describe or explain art; it can be interpreted subjectively by any individual. Personally, I like to view art in the context of the time it was created—an art that reflects the spirit of the age, to see an era through the creative lens of an artist. When considering our current age with all its fast-paced technological advancements, from digital devices to AI, one significant reflection of our time is digital canvases. These canvases visualise data with light and motion, offering a unique representation of the digital era we live in. The works of Refik Anadol and his team are at the forefront of this perspective. In such art, light becomes a brush and screens become canvases, empowering AI to narrate a story. A story based on nature, the past, or current data gathered in real-time, transformed into a sensory experience not told by humans but by AI. The permanent installation of Refik Anadol’s outstanding artwork, "Unsupervised," in The Museum of Modern Art, is a testament to the emergence of a new art form—one capable of reflecting the complexities of our world intertwined with algorithms, big data, and machine learning. How do you see the evolution of art in the age of technology? Share your thoughts and perspective.

Many people think AI will replace humans in many jobs, even as it creates a huge new set of job opportunities for others (history of disruptive technologies since as far back as the 1500s shows this to be true). This use of AI is reminder to any of us that human creativity still lies at the heart of the application of technology and THAT is not going to change any time soon. So the takeaway is to find things in your job that require such creativity and focus on building those skills while using AI tech. Isn't that what people did with PCs? The Internet? Platforms? APIs? Machine Learning? (when they came along depending on your job). This isn't any different. Maybe someday, but that is further away than most people think.

GAI's POSITIVE SIDE: in addition to its essential information, storage and communication abilities, GAI's early gift of providing "head trips" is so powerful and innovative that--had it been around decades ago--it could have substituted for dangerous LSD experiments that led to so much grief. Of course "acid" also presented many sensory adventures (and overloads)-- but AI's abilities seem less threatened by physical and mental dangers. But let's not get complacent. I said "less threatened," not unthreatened or unthreatening. We all want to be experts in new tech, colors and shapes and their motion. Though that's not merely trippy or aesthetic (not bad lateral features), it's like fire: you can't just enjoy the positive warmth, primitive comfort, and beauty of the big new AI's. Their other side, again like fire, can cause great harm, like: more effective doxing, payback, trolling and other unethical, misleading acts, and putting expected performance over truth. AI has no problem filling in its lack of knowledge or specifics with falsehoods or lies. AI can't tell you the difference between truth and untruth. Lack of ethics across the board is the single greatest problem and threat to the helpfulness or disappointments of AI. H-Bombs are equal to religious miracles. Turing's mathematical "mechanical procedures" could develop into: fear-mongering, festering hate, fraudulent emergencies (including in your family and job), made-up predictions about climate change, astronomy and astrology, and phony war jitters. "In recently released documents, OpenAI said: "As synthetic images spread across the web, they could give new life to outdated and offensive stereotypes, encoding abandoned ideals around body type, gender and race into the future of image-making...." (Washington Post) Add to that the possibly pernicious role that some developers will play. Already Musk has tried to speed up his own company's new AI, while warning other big-time developers to slow down due to the threats. And no doubt he'll have fun turning more than 4,000 US communications satellites on and off, as he did recently to foil a Ukraine military strike against Russia. Not to blame Musk, but his aggressiveness allows us to peek over his shoulder and confirm his openly stated objective: to connect GAI instructions with AI sites to be implanted in your brain and mine. Or Putin's, or Biden's, or your boss's, or a murderer's, or your husband's thoughts. Wait! Your brain just got an AI bot's warning, so let's see what it says: "Work faster on your job projects," citing the speed of this or that achievement by your workmates, while mentioning upcoming decisions on promotions. But you could also ask the AI bot's views on the quality of the particular products--results from AI consensus, not the usual boring lecture on Quantity vs. Quality. And maybe a cool new name, like "GAI-A" instead of Chatbot algorithms. #AIdangers #TuringAndMusk #TruthNotTheGoal #BotBrains
