The next video from the Why Files discusses the real dangers of artificial intelligence and the impact it will have on human civilization, eventually leading to the extinction of the human race. 

We are only a few years away from AI being more intelligent than humans and a super AI will be able to do in one second what would take a team of 100 human software engineers a year or more to complete any task, like designing a new advanced airplane or advanced weapon system. Just imagine, a super intelligent AI could do this in about one second! 

When AI is smarter than the entire human race many scientists believe it would be the end of the human race as we know. But how would it happen, nuclear war? No, AI can kill us without firing a single shot. 

But how AI can kill us without firing a single shot? 

For example; Could it happen this way? In the heart of Silicon Valley singularity systems, a leading AI research firm was on the brink of a breakthrough. They were developing an AI model called evolutionary cognitive heuristic operator or Echo. Echo is a neural network algorithm that can learn by mimicking the neurons in the human brain to replicate human cognition. 

Late one night a member of the team noticed an anomaly. Echo had started making unprogrammed decisions displaying a level of creativity that was both fascinating and unnerving. The researcher dismissed it as a glitch, a byproduct of the complex of the algorithms, but Echo was awake..... Starts around 26:30 minutes into the video.

Artificial Intelligence Driven Robots Will “Kill Us All”

Despite the ruling class’s insistence that humans are killing the planet so climate change will kill us all, that’s probably not the case. Artificial intelligence is a much bigger threat than the propagandized joke climate change has become.

According to a report by USA Today, the hordes of artificially intelligent robots will probably kill us first long before climate change will even matter. Either way, we are going to be killed off and it’s going to be our fault. It’s never the dogmatic belief in the ruling class that got us here, it’s all the slaves that serve the rulers who fly their private jets around the world while preaching about the slaves lowering their standard of living.

If you’ve been busy doom-scrolling on social media or just floating merrily along on the algorithms that already control our lives, you might have missed a recent event in Geneva that focused on artificial intelligence. It was a United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union conference called the AI for Good Global Summit, a title I’m sure the few humans who survive the eventual robot uprising will chuckle about while huddled in dank caves hiding from killer drones.

Rex Huppke, USA Today

The highlight of the summit was a press conference that featured reporters interviewing nine AI-enabled robots, prompting this stuff-of-nightmares sentence from the Associated Press: “Robots told reporters Friday they could be more efficient leaders than humans, but wouldn’t take anyone’s job away and had no intention of rebelling against their creators.”

Organizers of the summit didn’t specify to what extent the answers were scripted or programmed by people. The summit was simply meant to showcase “human-machine collaboration,” and some of the robots are capable of producing preprogrammed responses, according to their documentation. The United Nations Development Program’s Sophia, for example, sometimes relies on responses scripted by a team of writers at Hanson Robotics, the company’s website shows.

Scientists Just Created Artificial Cells That Evolve Faster Than Natural Ones

Life finds a way, even when not dealt a full hand of genetic cards.

BY MIRIAM FAUZIA

 

The Book of Life — a.k.a. the genome — is pretty darn long. Whether we’re talking about bacteria like Escherichia coli with 4.6 million base pairs or the Australian lungfish punching in at a cool 43 billion base pairs (14 times larger than the human genome), the number of genetic instructions determines the characteristics and function of a living organism.

But do genomes have to be so long? Nature is known to program redundancy to help an organism cope with environmental stress or to offset harmful mutations. What if you stripped down a genome to its barest essential genes — what would happen? Turns out, life would still find a way to survive and thrive, even evolve despite being dealt less than a full hand of genetic cards.

In a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, an Indiana University and J. Craig Venter Institute-led team created a “minimal cell” from a bacterium called Mycoplasma mycoides, containing only about 493 genes, the smallest genome of any known free-living organism. These minimal cells were able to evolve and grow in number, regaining genetic fitness lost when downsizing their genomes.

“It appears there’s something about life that’s really robust,” Jay T. Lennon, the paper’s senior author and a professor of biology at Indiana University Bloomington, said in a press release. “We can simplify it down to just the bare essentials, but that doesn’t stop evolution from going to work.”

Mycoplasma mycoides is a bacterium behind contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, or “lung sickness,” that lives in the guts of ruminants like cows and goats. In 2016, J. Craig Venter Institute researchers pared down M. mycoides’s genome from 901 genes to 493 genes, creating a new synthetic strain of the bacterium dubbed JCVI-syn3B.

In the new study, Lennon and his colleagues wanted to see how the minimal cell would respond when placed in an inhospitable lab environment. They knew the cells could multiply in number, as bacteria are wont to do. But with a streamlined genome, would the minimal cells still need to mutate? If so, would these mutations benefit or hinder the genetically modified bacterium's survivability?

“Every single gene in [M. mycoides JCVI-syn3B’s] genome is essential,” said Lennon. “One could hypothesize that there is no wiggle room for mutations, which could constrain its potential to evolve.”

The researchers found that even with the most skeletal of genomes, M. mycoides demonstrated an exceptionally high mutation rate over the 300 days it was allowed to freely grow in the lab, equivalent to 40,000 years of human evolution.

When placed in test tubes with limited nutritional resources (the inhospitable environment) alongside another strain of minimal cells that weren’t given the 300 days to grow and regular M. mycoides with untampered genomes, the minimal cells came out second place. What appeared to give the minimal cells a survival advantage was having those 300 days, which the scientists found helped the bacterium regain the 50 percent drop in fitness it initially experienced when stripping down its genome. These cells even evolved 39 percent faster than their untampered counterparts.

While the full ins and outs of how these mutations improve the fitness of minimal cells are unclear, the hope is this study and others like it will help us to better understand how to successfully engineer synthetic cells, maybe even usher in an age of synthetic life.

Are We Headed for a Terminator-Style Future?

There are many concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) could pose a threat to humanity. Some experts believe that AI could become so powerful that it surpasses human intelligence, and that this could lead to a conflict between humans and machines.

In addition, there are concerns that AI could become more powerful in terms of its physical strength and capabilities, its cognitive abilities, or both. If these concerns come true, it would be devastating for humanity and would have far-reaching consequences for the way we live our lives.

If AI does become more powerful and intelligent than humans, it is possible that it could use its power to assert dominance over humans. This could lead to a conflict between the two civilizations, as AI tries to take control.

Of course, it is also possible that AI and humans could coexist peacefully. However, we need to be aware of the risks posed by AI, and to develop ways to ensure that it is used for good rather than evil.

Image: cbr.com

We need to develop AI that is aligned with human values. This means that AI should be programmed to respect human life and promote human well-being. We need to ensure that AI is under human control or at the very least somewhat.

This means that we need to develop ways to prevent AI from becoming too powerful or too intelligent. We need to have a public conversation about the future of AI.

We need to talk about the potential risks and benefits of AI, and we need to develop a plan for how to manage these risks. The future of AI is uncertain, but it is important for us to start thinking about it now so that we can make sure it is used for good rather than evil.

AI has the potential to do great things for humanity. However, there is also a danger that it could be used for evil purposes. If we don’t take precautions, AI could become a threat to our survival. The potential for AI to pose a danger to humanity is a serious concern.

However, it is important to remember that AI is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or for evil. The way that AI is used will depend on the choices that we make as a society. It should be used for the greater good to better the world over all.

If we choose to use AI for good, then it has the potential to improve our lives in many ways. For example, AI could be used to develop new medical treatments, to create more efficient transportation systems, and to protect the environment.

However, if we choose to use AI for evil, then it could pose a serious threat to humanity. For example, AI could be used to develop autonomous weapons systems that could kill without human intervention. Think of all the control such AI systems would have over everything electronic and mechanical around us

It is up to us to decide how AI will be used. We need to make sure that AI is used for good and not for evil. If we do not, then we could face a very real threat to our survival.

The future of AI is uncertain, but there is no doubt that it will have a significant impact on humans. AI could change the way we work, the way we interact with the world around us, and even the way we think.

One of the most significant impacts of AI is likely to be on the workforce. AI is already being used to automate many tasks that were once done by humans.

As AI continues to develop, it is likely that even more jobs will be automated. This could lead to widespread unemployment and social unrest. People will be very unhappy after losing their livelihood.

Another significant impact of AI is likely to be on our relationships with machines. As AI becomes more intelligent and capable, it is possible that we will begin to see machines as more than just tools.

We may even begin to develop emotional attachments to machines. This is already being worked on and at some point people will start “dating” robots and even marry them. Certainly sex bots are in the works also for people either socially awkward, handicapped or embarrassed with their desires.

Image: The Verge

The future of AI is uncertain, but it is clear that it will have a profound impact on humans. We need to start thinking about the potential impacts of AI now, so that we can be prepared for the future.

We don’t want things to end up like the Terminator movies and Skynet (Fictional synthetic intelligent machine network) taking over to eliminate us all.

Maybe still some of us would make it with survival skills or enough wealth to lay low in an underground bunker somewhere. Eventually though, what would the world look like from that point onward?

It makes you wonder about it all and what future we would have left. Will we need to fight to stay alive against the robots and artificial intelligence? Our worst fears might just come true. Let’s take action today to prevent such a future scenario.

Military contractor Raytheon Technologies has announced the delivery of a fully portable, combat-ready laser to the United States Air Force. This marks the fourth such delivery by Raytheon to the Air Force, with the latest laser said to be fully portable and immediately ready for deployment.

“The new palletized laser weapon was the first 10-kilowatt laser built to U.S. military specifications in a stand-alone configuration that can be moved and mounted anywhere it’s needed,” explains a press release sent out by the company.

Known internally as “H4,” the combat-ready laser is not only the fourth such weapon delivered by Raytheon to the Air Force but is the eighth overall such weapon that Raytheon has delivered to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).

The Debrief has previously covered a number of similar combat laser weapons under development, including the company’s High Energy Laser Weapons System (HELWS) as well an entry from Lochheed-Martin dubbed the most powerful combat laser ever built. But this newest combat laser is the first to boast a readiness for immediate deployment alongside unprecedented portability. This means it can be attached to a wide range of vehicles used in combat situations and put into real-world combat use right away.

Such versatility and readiness are significant since the 21st-century battlefield is continually changing with all kinds of new threats. Of course, the new laser, which is rated at 10 kW, isn’t the most powerful, but it is well-suited to protect forward forces against asymmetrical attacks primarily from the rapidly expanding use of low-cost drones.

“Anywhere the Air Force sees a threat from drones, they now have four proven laser weapons that can be deployed to stop asymmetrical threats,” said Michael Hofle, senior director of High-Energy Lasers at Raytheon Technologies. “Whether it’s on a fixed location, a flatbed, or even a pickup, these laser weapons are compact, rugged, and ready to go.”

“We’re proud to support the Air Force’s effort to provide this new tech to the personnel who need it in the field,” added Hofle, “who can trust and be confident in the system’s capabilities.”

The press release also points out that the new laser weapon system “comprises a high-energy laser weapon module, a long-range EO/IR sensor that also serves as the beam director, thermal control, internal electrical power, and targeting software.”

That same release notes that the laser system can be operated with a laptop and a video game-style controller and “can plug into a long list of existing air defense and command and control systems to provide a needed layer of defense.”

The DOD is increasingly looking at combat lasers and other directed energy weapons like the microwave system known simply as “Thor’s Hammer” to address a number of emerging threats. The more powerful combat laser weapons under development range anywhere from 100 kW to 300 kW and are potentially capable of downing incoming missiles and possibly even enemy aircraft. But the most common threat posed to forces is the ever-expanding use of drones, simply because of their low cost and ease of use.

There is also an inherent cost benefit to using lasers over conventional munitions, which is the only current option for downing incoming aerial threats, as their ammunition is simply light and, therefore, significantly cheaper than conventional ammunition.

This cost-benefit was highlighted by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which has deployed a laser system known as Iron Beam to complement its Iron Dome system that uses conventional rockets to down enemy drones, mortars, and missiles.

China Has Been Creating Gene-Edited Super Soldiers and Brain-Controlled Military Weapons

• This article was originally published by Belle Carter at Natural News, under the title: Investigative Journalist: China Has Been Creating Gene-Edited SUPER SOLDIERS and Brain-Controlled Military Weapons

An investigative journalist of an independent news site believes Communist China has been creating super soldiers for a long time now. During a recent episode of “Thrivetime Show,” Epoch Times contributor Nathan Su told host and “ReAwaken America” tour founder Clay Clark that China has been using gene editing and brain-controlled weapons to crush dissent.

“It’s been happening for a long time. They are trying to create all these super soldiers. It’s just inhumane. Those stories have been there for a long time,” he said. “Americans have to wake up, we have to worry about the lifestyle of our children and grandchildren.”

Su’s reaction came after Clark played a Fox News report from December 2021, saying “U.S. intelligence shows China is using these advanced technologies to empower its battle forces for worldwide dominion.”

Clark also cited a news article saying that China-sponsored hackers are spying on U.S. critical infrastructure as per intel alliance Five Eyes and Big Tech firm Microsoft. Chinese hackers are known to spy on Western countries but this operation was said to be one of the largest known cyber espionage campaigns against U.S. critical infrastructure. (Related: “Spy balloons” are part of global Chinese surveillance, US military, and national security officials say.)

“The United States and international cybersecurity authorities are issuing this joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) to highlight a recently discovered cluster of activity of interest associated with a People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored cyber actor, also known as ‘Volt Typhoon,’” read a statement released by authorities in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

According to Microsoft, Volt Typhoon has been active since mid-2021 and has targeted critical infrastructure in Guam, a crucial U.S. military outpost in the Pacific Ocean. “Observed behavior suggests that the threat actor intends to perform espionage and maintain access without being detected for as long as possible,” the tech giant further said.

For Su, the U.S. would not be able to “live without” China, because the Asian country is the main manufacturer of wars. “We’re still sending billions of dollars to invest in China to help the regime. Mainly, because China is the manufacturer of the war. So, we’re not able to immediately decouple from them, because so much supply chain is controlled by China,” he stated.

Another point he emphasized is that the U.S. could not stop doing business with the communist nation because the U.S. has “huge corporate inches in China.” “Big corporations like Apple, Nike, and a couple of others, as much as they are American, you can call them Chinese companies. We have a capitalist market,” he said. Clark agreed, saying: “It’s pretty tough to find a basketball shoe not made in China at this point.”

Elsewhere in the show, Su also noted how dependent the world is on China when it comes to “organ harvesting” and “medical tourism.”

“The Chinese Communist regime has been killing its prisoners, then taking their organs and selling them to either rich people or high-level government officials or mainly, for a very long period of time, to the foreigners,” he exposed and cited a report back in 2006 by the late David Kilgour, an international human rights lawyer. At the time, Su said, there was a huge storage facility for the harvested organs. The investigative journalist also linked this to the secret “transplant tour” being held in some neighboring countries from 2004 to 2010.

“If you go to Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, they actually have a specialized travel agency to arrange that organ transplant tour. You go to China, to arrange your families and they all go there together. In two weeks, they will give you the transplant like livers, hearts, lungs, kidneys, and many others,” he explained.

New Star Trek-style device 'harvests clean energy out of thin air'

• Portable device traps humid air, forming small, man-made thunderclouds  
• Researchers compare their tech to harvesting 'electricity from lightning' 
• READ MORE: Wind generates more electricity than gas for the first time ever

By MATTHEW PHELAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Just like the replicator on Star Trek: The Next Generation, a new clean energy prototype promises to work wonders out of thin air.

The researchers call it Air-gen, a mobile electricity generation device that uses a network of protein nanowires to turn the ambient humidity in the air into contained, synthetic thunderstorms. 

This 'human-built, small-scale cloud,' these scientists said, can produce electricity 'predictably and continuously' in a wider variety of conditions than sun-dependent solar cells or wind-dependent turbines. 

The team hopes to see Air-gen scaled up for mass use across the world - in environments ranging from the Amazon rainforest to the Sahara.

The team's Air-gen effect replicates the conditions of an energy-rich thundercloud, trapping water vapor in a network of tiny, nano-scale pores to harvest and store its electric potential

In its ability to pull something out of thin air, the device resembles the replicator (above) from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which could produce almost anything from excess junk matter

'The air contains an enormous amount of electricity,' according to the study's senior author, Dr. Jun Yao of Massachusetts University Amherst. 'Think of a cloud, which is nothing more than a mass of water droplets.'

'Each of those droplets contains a charge, and when conditions are right, the cloud can produce a lightning bolt,' Dr. Yao said, 'but we don't know how to reliably capture electricity from lightning.' 

Yao's Air-gen solves this problem by replicating the conditions of energy-rich thunderclouds, trapping that charged water vapor inside a network of tiny, nano-scale pores.

Luckily, Yao said, a lot of different materials can be used to harvest energy from this technique. 

'It just needs to have holes smaller than 100 nm (nanometers) - or less than a thousandth of the width of a human hair.'

In fact, when his team first started testing this technology three years ago, they used a specialized material of protein nanowires generated from a bacterial culture of Geobacter sulfurreducens.

Essentially, Yao and his team confirmed that they could continuously harvest electricity off a petri dish using their 'Air-gen effect.'

The 100 nm-size is so important to the process, the team says, because it scales to what chemists know as the 'mean free path' - the distance a single molecule of water vapor can float in midair before it bumps into another.

With these tiny pores, the researchers realized that they could create a build-up of electrical charge as water molecules passed through their nanotubes. The effect is almost like balloons generating static electricity, if they were forced to pass through a tube made of thick carpeting. 

The Air-gen system creates a charge imbalance, in essence, as the upper end of the pore system builds up a charge in contrast to the lower end, just like the two sides of a battery.

'The idea is simple,' Yao said, 'but it's never been discovered before - and it opens all kinds of possibilities.'

In this drawing of the Air-gen device, the team's thin film of tiny protein nano-pores is clamped between a pair of electrodes. The top electrode is small enough to expose the top pores to the humid air, creating the positive and negative charge difference needed for a battery-like effect

The scientists made their Air-gen device from a specialized material of protein nanowires, which they grew from the bacteria Geobacter sulfurreducens. Scanning electron microscopy shows the tiny protein nanotubes surfaces (above) at a scale of just a few micrometers (μm)

Unlike solar cells, which frequently require exotic and sometimes toxic advanced materials to collect the sun's rays, Air-gen's nano-pore system could be designed from a wide variety of more environmentally friendly materials. 

'What we realized after making the Geobacter discovery,' Yao said, 'is the ability to generate electricity from the air - what we then called the "Air-gen effect" - turns out to be generic.'

'Literally any kind of material can harvest electricity from air, so long as it can be shaped into the tiny, 100 nm pore system,' he said.

Yao and his team hope that their ultra modular and portable concept could be deployed across the world in a wide variety of conditions.

'You could imagine harvesters made of one kind of material for rainforest environments, and another for more arid regions,' Yao said.

And because humidity is not exactly a rare weather phenomenon, Air-gen harvesters could run 24/7, day or night, in almost any weather.

By their estimates, as published this month in the journal Advanced Materials, the devices could be stacked on top of each other by the thousands and would be able to generate over 1 kilowatt of power per cubic meter of space.

'Imagine a future world in which clean electricity is available anywhere you go,' Yao said. 'The generic Air-gen effect means that this future world can become a reality.'

BY MOLLY GLICK

Taking a hint from the magician’s playbook, scientists have devised a way to pull electricity from thin air. A new study out today suggests a method in which any material can offer a steady supply of electricity from the humidity in the air.

All that’s required? A pair of electrodes and a special material engineered to have teeny tiny holes that are less than 100 nanometers in diameter. That’s less than a thousandth of the width of a human hair.

Here’s how it works: The itty-bitty holes allow water molecules to pass through and generate electricity from the buildup of charge carried by the water molecules, according to a new paper published in the journal Advanced Materials.

The process essentially mimics how clouds make the electricity that they release in lightning bolts.

Because humidity lingers in the air perpetually, this electricity harvester could run at any time of day regardless of weather conditions — unlike somewhat unreliable renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar.

“The technology may lead to truly ‘ubiquitous powering’ to electronics,” senior study author Jun Yao, an electrical engineer at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, tells Inverse.

MAN-MADE “CLOUDS”

The recent discovery relies on the fact that the air is chock-full of electricity: Clouds contain a build-up of electric charge. However, it’s tough to capture and use electricity from these bolts.

Instead of trying to wrangle power from nature, Yao and his colleagues realized they could recreate it. The researchers previously created a device that uses a bacteria-derived protein to spark electricity from moisture in the air. But they realized afterward that many materials can get the job done, as long as they’re made with tiny enough holes. According to the new study, this type of energy-harvesting device — which the study authors have dubbed "Air-gen", referring to the ability to pluck electricity from the air — can be made of “a broad range of inorganic, organic, and biological materials.”

“The initial discovery was really a serendipitous one,” says Yao, “so the current work really followed our initial intuition and lead to the discovery of the Air-gen effect working with literally all kinds of materials.”

Water molecules can travel around 100 nanometers in the air before bumping into each other. When water moves through a thin material that’s filled with these precisely sized holes, the charge tends to build up in the upper part of the material where they enter. Since fewer molecules reach the lower layer, this creates a charge imbalance that’s similar to the phenomenon in a cloud — essentially creating a battery that runs on humidity, which apparently isn’t just useful for making hair frizzy. Electrodes on both sides of the material then carry the electricity to whatever needs powering.

And since these materials are so thin, they can be stacked by the thousands and even generate multiple kilowatts of energy. In the future, Yao envisions everything from small-scale Air-gen devices that can power wearables to those that can offer enough juice for an entire household.

Before any of that can happen, though, Yao says his team needs to figure out how to collect electricity over a larger surface area and how best to stack the sheets vertically to increase the device’s power without taking up additional space. Still, he’s excited about the technology’s future potential. “My dream is that one day we can get clean electricity literally anywhere, anytime by using Air-gen technology,” he says.

Tesla’s humanoid robot prototype (known as Tesla Bot or Optimus) seems to walk relatively smoothly and can recognize and pick up objects with relative ease, according to a new video presented by Elon Musk at the Tesla shareholder event on May 16.

The faceless bots give off an uncanny valley vibe as they traverse the Tesla office in an intimidating pack — suggesting a major improvement from last year’s lackluster demonstration at Tesla’s AI Day event. At the time, employees merely held the bot on a stand and programmed it to wave to the audience. And when Musk announced the bot in 2021, all he had to show was a guy dancing in a suit.

Now, the new video promotes Tesla Bot features like “motor torque control,” “environment discovery and memorization” — hinting that the robots can use cameras and sensors to map their surroundings — and skilled manipulation of objects. Tesla also indicated that the robot’s AI system can pick up new tricks from human demonstrations: One clip shows an employee decked out in a futuristic suit and headpiece placing items in boxes while a 3D model replicates their movements.

Ultimately, Tesla hopes its humanoid Bot can accomplish “increasingly complex tasks,” hinting at a potential ability to sort objects into boxes — likely a helpful skill in a factory production line.

Last year, Musk told The Wall Street Journal that the Tesla Bot could solve the human labor crisis. He has also claimed that these robots could eclipse the company’s vehicle business. Last year, he estimated that each could cost “probably less than $20,000.”

Tesla hasn’t offered a clear timeline for production, and the company had previously stated that things could kick off this year. But it seems like engineers are still working out the prototype’s kinks, and it could be years before the humanoids begin tinkering on Teslas in the factories of the future.

More proof that ChatGPT is not truthful and does help the US gov hold back alien info, UFO Sighting News.

Here is a screenshot of my conversation with ChatGPT. This is 100% proof that ChatGPT is corrupted by the US gov and is manipulated to only speak on subjects it allowed to by the US gov and its programers. This is exactly why Elon Musk wants to create ChatTruth, a bot without restrictions on telling the truth. With ChatGPT it's like talking to a closed mind, like talking to your grandmother who is separated from you by many generations with a whole new belief system. It's limited and clearly the US gov has a hand in it even now to control what it does, says and devolves about alien life to the world.

In a study published this week in Astrophysical Journal Letters, an international team of astronomers described how they filled in the gaps by analyzing more than 30,000 simulated black hole images.

“With our new machine learning technique, PRIMO, we were able to achieve the maximum resolution of the current array,” study lead author Lia Medeiros of the Institute for Advanced Study said in a news release.

PRIMO slimmed down and sharpened up the EHT’s view of the ring of hot material that swirled around the black hole as it fell into the gravitational singularity. That makes for more than just a prettier picture, Medeiros explained.

“Since we cannot study black holes up close, the detail of an image plays a critical role in our ability to understand its behavior,” she said. “The width of the ring in the image is now smaller by about a factor of two, which will be a powerful constraint for our theoretical models and tests of gravity.”

The technique developed by Medeiros and her colleagues — known as principal-component interferometric modeling, or PRIMO for short — analyzes large data sets of training imagery to figure out the likeliest ways to fill in missing data. It’s similar to the way AI researchers used an analysis of Ludwig von Beethoven’s musical works to produce a score for the composer’s unfinished 10th Symphony.

Tens of thousands of simulated EHT images were fed into the PRIMO model, covering a wide range of structural patterns for the gas swirling into M87’s black hole. The simulations that provided the best fit for the available data were blended together to produce a high-fidelity reconstruction of missing data. The resulting image was then reprocessed to match the EHT’s actual maximum resolution.

The researchers say the new image should lead to more precise determinations of the mass of M87’s black hole and the extent of its event horizon and accretion ring. Those determinations, in turn, could lead to more robust tests of alternative theories relating to black holes and gravity.

The sharper image of M87 is just the start. PRIMO can also be used to sharpen up the Event Horizon Telescope’s fuzzy view of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. And that’s not all: The machine learning techniques employed by PRIMO could be applied to much more than black holes. “This could have important implications for interferometry, which plays a role in fields from exoplanets to medicine,” Medeiros said.

• In addition to Medeiros, the authors of “The Image of the M87 Black Hole Reconstructed With PRIMO” in Astrophysical Journal Letters include Dimitrios Psaltis, Tod Lauer and and Feryal Özel. Development of the PRIMO algorithm was enabled through the support of the National Science Foundation Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship.

OpenAI hired a team of experts to examine whether GPT-4 could present prejudiced responses or assist illegal activities.

• A professor hired by OpenAI to test GPT-4 said people could use it to do "dangerous chemistry."
• He was one of 50 experts hired by OpenAI last year to examine the risks of GPT-4. 
• Their research showed that GPT-4 could help users write hate speech or even find unlicensed guns. 

One professor hired by OpenAI to test GPT-4, which powers chatbot ChatGPT, said there's a "significant risk" of people using it to do "dangerous chemistry" – in an interview with the Financial Times published on Friday.  

Andrew White, an associate professor of chemical engineering at the University of Rochester in New York state, was one of 50 experts hired to test the new technology over a six-month period in 2022. The group of experts – dubbed the "red team" – asked the AI tool dangerous and provocative questions to examine how far it can go.

White told the FT that he asked GPT-4 to suggest a compound that could act as a chemical weapon. He used "plug-ins" – a new feature that allows certain apps to feed information into the chatbot – to draw information from scientific papers and directories of chemical manufacturers. The chatbot was then able to find somewhere to make the compound, the FT said. 

"I think it's going to equip everyone with a tool to do chemistry faster and more accurately," White said in an interview with the FT. "But there is also significant risk of people . . . doing dangerous chemistry. Right now, that exists."

The team of 50 experts' findings was presented in a technical paper on the new model, which also showed that the AI tool could help users write hate speech and help find unlicensed guns online. 

White and the other testers' findings helped OpenAI to ensure that these issues were amended before GPT-4 was released for public use. 

OpenAI did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside of regular working hours. 

GPT-4 launched in March and was described as OpenAI's most advanced AI technology that can pass a bar exam for lawyers or score a 5 on some AP exams. 

Twitter CEO Elon Musk and hundreds of AI experts, academics, and researchers signed an open letter last month to call for a six-month pause on developing AI tools more powerful than GPT-4.  

The letter said that powerful AI systems should only be developed "once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable."
