computer experimental findings had already been anticipated in a remarkable mathematical proof by Sharkovskii (1964). The dynamical richness of these simple, single maximum, one dimensional maps was computationally explored in the context of ecological and epidemiological issue...

Mind over Computer 43 British readers — and you roll it once around the wheel of your car. The small sweet will turn many times. Now put a pencil through the hole in the sweet, jack up your car so the wheel is off the ground, hold the sweet next to the wheel of your car and pres...

…longer a system administrator, he could still perhaps befriend a system administrator or even steal or borrow a service computer. Whatever the NSA’s and Booz Allen’s security measures, Snowden succeeded in getting the files. In a matter of a few weeks, he man- aged to download h...

…y, the exponential advances in Moore’s Law are starting to run into limits imposed by basic physics. The clock speed of computers maxed out at a few gigahertz a decade and a half ago, simply because the chips were starting to melt. The miniaturization of transistors is already ru...

Even though a supercomputer can “train” a clone of zemself in seconds, the energy cost of producing a mature silicon clone is comparable. Engineering (Homo) prodigies might make a small impact on this slow process, but speeding up development and implanting extensive memory (as D...

Computer scientist Stuart Russell, along with Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Max Tegmark, and numerous others, has insisted that attention be paid to the potential dangers in creating an intelligence on the superhuman (or even the human) level—an AGI, or artificial general intellige...

…en you and a dream, or to lead a religious revival, spread an infection of hate or revolution or insidious Morris-style computer code — then fundamentally this is what you have to consider: Where are the gates? How to smash them? How to build your own? We are entering, as a resul...

common way for electrical circuits, computer programs, brain mechanisms and other complicated systems, even cultural or spiritual movements, to behave when one or more important control parameters crosses a threshold. Doyne Farmer of the Los Alamos’s Prediction Company once said...

Computers, as a Tool for Creativity, Can’t Replace the Artist. Rachel Rose, a video artist who thinks about the questions posed by AI, employs computer technology in the creation of her works. Her films give the viewer an experience of materiality through the moving image. She u...

… request includes information that is kept in physical “hard copy” and/or electronic form, whether stored on a personal computer, database server, cellular telephone, “Blackberry” unit, personal digital assistant (“PDA”) or other handheld electronic device, or in any other electr...

…could not breech the NSA’s protective stove-piping. He predicted that its next logical move would be to “target insider computer personnel.” These false flag recruitment would aim at, in his view, system administrators, computer engineers and cyber service workers who were either...

…raditional military employees at the NSA. They were usually civilians, who effectively served as repair-men for complex computer systems at the NSA. Moreover, many of them had not been directly hired by the NSA. Instead, their recruitment had been privatized to outside contractor...

Stuart Russell is a professor of computer science and Smith-Zadeh Professor in Engineering at UC Berkeley. He is the coauthor (with Peter Norvig) of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach. Jaan Tallin, a computer programmer, theoretical physicist, and investor, 1s a co- deve...
