Google suspends veteran engineer over claims that AI chatbot is sentient

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

For his “aggressive” moves.


Google engineer Blake Lemoine presented his findings to the company in April but has now put some conversations with the bot in the public domain for all to see.

Gaia telescope’s new map of the Milky Way will let us rewind time

Posted by in categories: chemistry, space

Our map of the Milky Way has been upgraded and it now lets us rewind the paths of stars to look back in time. The data set that enables this, released by the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Gaia space telescope, includes the detailed chemical make-up and speeds of almost 2 billion stars.

Mechanotransduction: Using nuclear mechanics to understand health and diseases

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, health, nanotechnology

The application of mechanic forces to the cell nucleus affects the transport of proteins through the nuclear membrane, an action that controls cellular processes and could play a key role in several diseases such as cancer. These findings draw a new scenario for understanding how the mechanic forces drive the progression of cancer and open the doors to the design of potential innovative techniques—both diagnostic and therapeutic. This is the conclusion of a study published in the journal Nature Cell Biology led by lecturer Pere Roca-Cusachs, from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Barcelona, the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of the UB (IN2UB) and the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC).

The cells in the body receive mechanical stimuli from their environment and respond accordingly regarding decisions on how and when to grow, move and differentiate. The process is known as mechanotransduction and it is critically important for the cell function and for human health.

The study reveals that the direct application of force to the can affect the spatial organization of the DNA and the activity of nuclear proteins, among other functions. When invade the organs and metastasis appears, these create physical forces that are transmitted to the .

How do we know when AI becomes conscious and deserves rights?

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Machines becoming conscious, self-aware, and having feelings would be an extraordinary threshold. We would have created not just life, but conscious beings.

There has already been massive debate about whether that will ever happen. While the discussion is largely about supra-human intelligence, that is not the same thing as consciousness.

Now the massive leaps in quality of AI conversational bots is leading some to believe that we have passed that threshold and the AI we have created is already sentient.

Google Engineer On Leave After He Claims AI Program Has Gone Sentient

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Blake Lemoine reached his conclusion after conversing since last fall with LaMDA, Google’s artificially intelligent chatbot generator, what he calls part of a “hive mind.” He was supposed to test if his conversation partner used discriminatory language or hate speech.

As he and LaMDA messaged each other recently about religion, the AI talked about “personhood” and “rights,” he told The Washington Post.

It was just one of the many startling “talks” Lemoine has had with LaMDA. He has linked on Twitter to one — a series of chat sessions with some editing (which is marked).

Ironic! Norway is Building a Massive Wind Farm to Boost Oil Production

Posted by in category: energy

In a huge twist of irony, Norway is building the world’s largest wind farm — to power offshore oil and gas fields.

If you’re raising your eyebrows at this point, we are too.

The project called Hywind Tampen is set to be constructed and operated by Norwegian energy giant Equinor, who also happens to be drilling for oil and gas in the area.
