This Captivating Sci-Fi Short Film Was Randomly Generated By a Computer
Posted by Sean Brazell in categories: alien life, computing, mathematics
We wouldn’t blame you for thinking that Julius Horsthuis spent weeks designing and animating his sci-fi short, Fraktaal, using 3D software. But as the artist reveals, “It so happens that I’m a lazy animator.” So he instead relied on complex mathematical fractal patterns to automatically generate the alien worlds and cities visited in his film.

Kepler finds 20 habitable worlds ‘hiding in plain sight’
Posted by Dan Kummer in category: alien life
A new analysis of data from NASA’s Kepler telescope has revealed a treasure trove of 20 extraterrestrial worlds astronomers say could hold life.
The new analysis includes several planets that orbit stars similar to our sun.

Scientists Claims: Aliens May Already Live Inside Super-Massive Black Holes
Posted by Andreas Matt in categories: alien life, physics
A supermassive dark opening isn’t the best place to live. Notwithstanding, there are physicists who think about existence existing in such outrageous spots and likely effectively occupied by some most progressive races – super outsiders. “Insides of super gigantic dark openings might be occupied by cutting edge human advancements living on planets with the third-kind circles,” Russian cosmologist Vyacheslav I. Dokuchaev at Moscow’s Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences writes in his paper distributed in Cornell University’s online diary arXiv. “We could live inside a super gigantic dark gap in the long run… yet super-outsiders may have effectively outsmarted us,” claims Dokuchaev. His dubious hypothesis did not depend on sci-fi yet on Einstein’s speculations.

New NASA research is helping to refine our understanding of candidate planets beyond our solar system that might support life.
“Using a model that more realistically simulates atmospheric conditions, we discovered a new process that controls the habitability of exoplanets and will guide us in identifying candidates for further study,” said Yuka Fujii of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), New York, New York and the Earth-Life Science Institute at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, lead author of a paper on the research published in the Astrophysical Journal Oct. 17.

‘Postbiological’ alien civilisation that survives using AI could exist
Posted by Carse Peel in categories: alien life, life extension, robotics/AI
Are AI aliens watching Earth? An immortal machine civilization could already exist and may be BILLIONS of years old, leading expert claims…
Artificial intelligence could already exist elsewhere in the universe and may have been around for billions of years, according to a leading expert.

Using Artificial Intelligence to Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Posted by Brett Gallie II in categories: alien life, robotics/AI
#AI The Machine Learning 4 SETI Code Challenge (ML4SETI), created by the SETI Institute and IBM, was completed on July 31st 2017. Nearly 75 participants, with a wide range of backgrounds from industry and academia, worked in teams on the project. The top team achieved a signal classification accuracy of 95%. The code challenge was sponsored by IBM, Nimbix Cloud, Skymind, Galvanize, and The SETI League.

The code challenge was sponsored by IBM, Nimbix Cloud, Skymind, Galvanize, and The SETI League.
The ML4SETI project challenged participants to build a machine-learning model to classify different signal types observed in radio-telescope data for the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI). Seven classes of signals were simulated (and thus, labeled), with which citizen scientists trained their models. We then measured the performance of these models with tests sets in order to determine a winner of the code challenge. The results were remarkably accurate signal classification models. The models from the top teams, using deep learning techniques, attained nearly 95% accuracy in signals from the test set, which included some signals with very low amplitudes. These models may soon be used in daily SETI radio signal research.

Should we be looking for space aliens a bit closer to home?
Posted by Carse Peel in category: alien life
Astronomers believe it’s possible that advanced beings lived in or visited our solar system eons ago — and perhaps left behind certain ‘technosignatures.’

AI Firm Focusing on Consciousness FINALLY Publishes Full Frameworks
- August 28, 2017 by Corey Reaux-Savonte on LinkedIn
London-based AI start-up REZIINE has published the entire explanation and framework design for the creation of consciousness in machines.
“Consciousness Illuminated and the Reckoning of Physics” – a 525-page document – features:
- The full explanation of consciousness and the AGI framework, including all designs, components, and algorithms;
- The roadmap to Artificial Super Intelligence;
- The AI genome for self-evolution; and
- A full-scale physics framework, complete with experiments and explanations.
Describing the compact definition of consciousness as “the ability to make illogical decisions based on personal values”, founder, Corey Reaux-Savonte, goes on to say:
If consciousness is the ability to make illogical decisions based on personal values, …
