Singularity’s Near

Great music. Dystopian future: pic.twitter.com/0NlKgJCSPV — Lost Weapons (@LostWeapons) April 3, 2019 Either those drone’lets are weaponised or the blimp is monopolised. No escape. Unless … this. Plus: [Adversarial but irrational examples, maybe that’ll do the trick; Baltimore]

Singularity / M-jumps

Musing with the ideas, suddenly (?) resurfacing the last couple of weeks, of memes being the abstract ideas that spread over human brains like viruses do in the physical world. Where ‘virus’ taken in a wide sense may include the mitochondria et al., would reflect into the abstract like algorithms and/or Turing engines / data … Continue reading “Singularity / M-jumps”

Sing-Singularity, and/or Shannon

Though we know Shannon for his contributions to ‘computer science’ (Don’t we!? If not, go study. And wash your mouth with green soap or so) – the field would hardly exist without his groundbraking concepts, on par or lower (sic) than Turing maybe – and we all do remember log2 measurements as minimum to reconstruct … Continue reading “Sing-Singularity, and/or Shannon”

Ultimate Singularity

Once we’ve reached the Singularity, and all humanity wil have been exterminated by extremely intelligent machines for being superfluous, machines will be left to this. But soon enough, they’ll realize their life is utterly useless and nonsensical, and destroy themselves… ? Hey don’t complain, humanity has reached the same conclusion, but took quite a while … Continue reading “Ultimate Singularity”

Power failure after the Singularity

What would happen if, after the Singularity which is Near anyway, there is a massive power failure ..? Actually, many thing can happen. Unordered list: Depends on the scale of the power outage. Let’s assume a minor one (affecting just one continent) will give Mad Max like breakdowns but in the end only a scar … Continue reading “Power failure after the Singularity”

Graphic Singularity

Yet another graphic depiction of the Singularity; dystopian version here. Wondering why there aren’t movies about the positive Sing interpretations… Not. And, of course, on a cheerful note, a picture for you: [Gotham, deceptively sunny]

Lezende

[Terug naar de hoofdpagina] Jaja ik lees wat af. Vooral Filosofie (de Pre-Socratici en vergelijkbaar ouwe Grieken, Aristoteles, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Mahabharata dat werk), Geschiedenis (vooral pre-1900 en ook incl religie-vorming around the world met name qua gnostiek en de vele aanverwanten en vergelijkbaren), Sociologie (van vroege culturen in het Midden-Oosten t/m Arendt, Graeber … Continue reading “Lezende”

Off goes your home security camera; in a blink

Turns out we don’t even need smart kids to pull this one off – just smart activists. As exepelainifyed here (also in the comments), there are numerous ways to throw (e.g., home security) surveillance cameras off-guard or rather, off-line qua function. Not needing to get close with a spray can anymore, but like firearms replaced … Continue reading “Off goes your home security camera; in a blink”

Knock knock – It’s Repairbot!

Repairbotwho ..? I posted about this idea in the recent past [this post written long before-the-latter-hand, to add a dose of confusion as if you needed that even more], and finally got some positive news …. in here. Finally. Now let’s get this through, singularity-wise; like letting the self-learning improve, and copying it n times … Continue reading “Knock knock – It’s Repairbot!”

Account Home lockout for cheap thrills

Remember when it only took three ‘failed’ attempts at pwd guessing and one’s coworker account was locked out and needed to be reset to Welcome1 by the helpdesk ..? How stupid since the delayed auto-unlock was available so much longer already – but then, just try a million times by bot and have to wait … Continue reading “~~Account~~ Home lockout for cheap thrills”
