Barely Legal

By guest author: Nielo Wait, VRZ Champions LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nielo/ YouTube: Slopfiction Caveat: These ideas were articulated with the assistance of artificial intelligence — barely legal em dashes and all. Two AIs walk into a bar. Bartender: “Sorry, we don’t serve minors.” As the western AI begins to litigate, the eastern AI forks the bartender, open-sources the quantized version, and shouts, "The next round is on me!" USA, run by lawyers, is trying to legislate its way into AI dominance. China, run by engineers, is shipping fast, hard-coding its own vision of what AI should be. Both are building futures. But the difference in approach is already warping the GenAI landscape — and who gets to shape it. That’s the frame: GenAI isn’t good or bad. It’s just barely legal . Not in the smirking, R-rated LoRa sense. In the sense that the rulebook doesn’t exist yet, the court cases are unresolved, the ethics are wea...

Moore's Law: The End of the Technological Singularity?

Introduction In 1965, Gordon Moore of Intel predicted that computing power would double every two years. Although based on limited data at the time, Moore speculated that this pattern would likely persist. It did. However, today we stand at a crossroads where this law's path is meeting real-world limits. This challenge invites conversations about not only Moore's Law itself, but also about the concept of the Technological Singularity. The Technological Singularity The "Technological Singularity” is a hypothetical point in the future where technological growth will become uncontrollable and irreversible. Such a point would result in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. The notion of the Singularity is built on the idea that technological advancements, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, could lead to an explosive increase in intelligence and capability, s...

Don't Look Now, but the Bots Are Designing New Proteins...

Picture tiny protein architects effortlessly combining like pieces of an intricate puzzle to build nanoscale structures with mind-boggling precision. Dream or nightmare? These self-assembled protein structures hold the promise of creating entirely new materials with properties that defy our current imagination. But there are those who fear they also hold the key to the annihilation of all humankind… Welcome to the fusion of machine learning (ML) and protein synthesis. It’s not so far away as you might think. Say the words “artificial intelligence,” and most people today will probably think of the large language models like ChatGPT or any of the AI art generators . But many other ML techniques are used in various fields with equally exciting applications. Protein prediction and synthesis is one such area. ML is making remarkable advancements with implications for biotechnology and materials science. It works like t...

'Beneficial Super AI': How Decentralization Might Save Us

"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world." - William Butler Yeats Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology have emerged as two groundbreaking forces revolutionizing their respective domains. AI has taken leaps in transforming industries with its ability to automate tasks, extract insights from data, and make intelligent decisions. Meanwhile, blockchain has disrupted traditional systems by enabling decentralized and transparent transactions, ensuring trust, and establishing immutable records. The convergence of these two cutting-edge technologies opens up new possibilities extending beyond their individual capacities. This post will explore one of the intersections of AI and blockchain, namely ways in which blockchain is being harnessed to develop AI itself. Specifically, we will look at a platform called SingularityNET and some of the exciting pro...
