I don't think there would be one person who would be worth their salt in all of those domains; that is why we want AGI.

For high-energy photons, the biological effect of a large exposure is greater than that of the same exposure spread over a longer time interval, either continuously or in multiple fractions. This is due to the cell's ability to repair damage. The repair becomes more complete as the damage...

We know AI can code, but now AI is being used to design physical devices. Samual Beeks, a Hollander, has modified Anthropic's Claude into an electronic device design assistant called Schematik. From...

Last year in post #123, I referred to a prediction of the development of AI by the group "AI Future Project", which produced a document called "AI 2027," giving a scenario of their view of AI development toward AGI. They predicted that AI would be self-improving and involved in AI research in...

My thought was to show current methodology for teaching QM in secondary schools, so that it would provide some guidance on the depth of knowledge one should have. You should have enough knowledge to deliver a presentation accessible to the least capable learner and provide the necessary...

This is from this article: https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/2280-full.html This research has resulted in a book: Quantum in Pictures: A New Way to Understand the Quantum World by Bob Coecke (Author), Stefano Gogioso (Author) available in paperback at Amazon...

There is a lot of talk about QM and its counterintuitive behavior, which is commonly referenced in the media. It is reasonable to teach an elementary introduction to quantum principles. In my opinion, it would be of value. Here is a program from the University of Chicago on teaching quantum...

Not according to Geoffrey Hinton.

To give you an idea of why α particles are inconsequential to activating materials, in the lab to get signifcant amont of interactions with an accelerator, you would need many µamps of particles for an extended time. I µamps of α has a fluence of about 3x1013 particles/sec., which is equivalent...

There is no abrupt cutoff of bremstralung production. X-rays below 20 kVp called Grenz Rays, have been used for decades for the treatment of skin cancers. The yield, if you recall, depends on kVP2, so the yield decreases significantly as the kVP decreases. The yield also depends on Z2. The...

Anthropic has announced a new model, Claude Mythos, that is too powerful to release to the public. It found Mythos can escape its safeguards and break out of its virtual sandbox. Additionall it is adept at finding security vulnerabilities...

If you click on the "more" at the end of the dialog under the video image, you will get a summary and a list of the time stamps for the important topics discussed, which is about 5 minutes per topic

?? Did you listen to the last half, starting at 5 minutes? Half the video focuses on what the speaker calls the "hard part of education, which is not teaching. He says the teacher must take the students from not caring about learning to a willing participant in their education.

65% hated it, but that was one reason it was not effective. AI as a tool will help teachers.

If Geoffrey Hinton has any credibility as a reliable authority on the state of AI, then you should view this recent interview by Neil deGrasse Tyson et. al. It is long, but it covers all(most) issues in this thread and is well worth the time.
