AI can copy HANDWRITING — can you tell it apart from the real thing?

Posted by in categories: law, robotics/AI

AI tools like ChatGPT can draft letters, tell jokes and even give legal advice – but only in the form of computerized text.

Now, scientists have created an AI that can imitate human handwriting, which could herald fresh issues regarding fraud and fake documents.

The Fairness Principle: How the Veil of Ignorance Helps Test Fairness

Posted by in category: futurism

Behind the Veil of Ignorance, no one knows who they are. They lack clues as to their class, their privileges, or their disadvantages. They exist as an impartial group, tasked with designing a new society with its own conception of justice.


And — here’s the kicker — what if you had to make those decisions without knowing who you would be in this new society?

“But the nature of man is sufficiently revealed for him to know something of himself and sufficiently veiled to leave much impenetrable darkness, a darkness in which he ever gropes, forever in vain, trying to understand himself.”

Scientists build mass-producible miniature quantum memory element

Posted by in categories: computing, encryption, mobile phones, quantum physics

Light pulses can be stored and retrieved in the glass cell, which is filled with rubidium atoms and is only a few millimeters in size.

Light particles are particularly suited to transmitting quantum information.


Researchers at the University of Basel have built a quantum memory element based on atoms in a tiny glass cell. In the future, such quantum memories could be mass-produced on a wafer.

Mysterious Missing Component in the Clouds of Venus Revealed

Posted by in categories: chemistry, space

Researchers may have identified the missing component in the chemistry of the Venusian clouds that would explain their color and splotchiness in the UV range, solving a long-standing mystery.

What are the clouds of Venus made of? Scientists know it’s mainly made of sulfuric acid droplets, with some water, chlorine, and iron. Their concentrations vary with height in the thick and hostile Venusian atmosphere. But until now they have been unable to identify the missing component that would explain the clouds’ patches and streaks, only visible in the UV range.

In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers from the University of Cambridge synthesised iron-bearing sulfate minerals that are stable under the harsh chemical conditions in the Venusian clouds.
