  • The human touch in AI: Why we anthropomorphise machines

    Opinion As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial to maintain clear boundaries between machine intelligence and human cognition In an era increasingly defined by artificial intelligence (AI), a curious psychological phenomenon has emerged -- humans are anthropomorphising AI tools. From virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to large language models like ChatGPT, people often ascribe human-like emotions, intentions and even personalities to these systems. While this tendency may seem benign or even endearing, it has profound implications for society, ethics, and the way we perceive technology. By giving AI tools human-like names, voices and personalities, developers create a sense...

    Senators are obviously trying to figure out how to sink Gabbard’s nomination before her scheduled hearing on Jan. 30.Senators are looking for excuses over reasons to refuse President Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard — a combat veteran who previously served as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii and now faces character assassination.Gabbard, who is meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon, committed two crimes that now threaten to derail her confirmation: leaving the Democrat party and campaigning against the interventionist impulses of the deep state war machine.After Democrats fought to delay her way forward, Semafor...

  • The Deep State Strikes Back! A front-runner for the top White House intelligence job may be planning to run cover for the IC, sources say

    Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail to make war against the deep state. Now it seems the first battle may take place on home ground: the White House. Congressional and intelligence sources tell Tablet that the candidate slotted in for the top intelligence spot on the National Security Council is ill suited to serve the president’s agenda. Adam Howard, reportedly the front-runner for the NSC’s senior director for intelligence, is currently staff director for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), chaired by Republican Congressman Mike Turner. According to several current congressional sources, multiple House members have raised...

    He built the world’s fastest car. He sends starships to space faster – and cheaper – than NASA. But what the world’s richest man is planning at a remote facility in Memphis may be his greatest achievement to date. Recently, earth’s most powerful billionaire revealed a giant AI supercomputer 10 times more powerful than the technology used to create ChatGPT. Some are even calling it a “ChatGPT killer.” The crazy part? He has plans to double its power in a matter of weeks … and double it again by this summer. It’s the new pinnacle of AI technology.

  • Who decided the US intelligence community would suppress key COVID-origin research?

    NY Post ^ | 12/27/24 | Post Editorial Board
    News that top US intelligence officials in 2021 suppressed research pointing to a Chinese lab leak as COVID’s origin raises two key questions: Exactly who, and why? That is, who made the call to keep Defense Department and FBI input out of the August 2021 briefing to President Biden on the issue, and out of the resulting official federal finding that COVID most likely arose naturally? And, indeed, to also block Sen. Charles Grassley’s requests for the Defense research? We know that Dr. Anthony Fauci and his public-health cronies had fought from the start to discredit all lab-leak talk. Their...

Tulsi Gabbard’s (D-HI) views were “on a different planet.” Host Jim Acosta said, “We’ve seen Matt Gaetz withdraw his nomination for attorney general. Should Tulsi Gabbard do the same for Director of National Intelligence?” Bolton said, “Well look, she said many things publicly that I think disqualify her. These are not just because her views are extreme. They are on a different planet. they are the views of somebody who doesn’t understand anything about American interests. And...

    The U.S. embassy in Ukraine cited “specific information of a potential significant air attack” on Wednesday morning, ordering its citizens in the country to shelter in place, as tensions between America and the Russian Federation rise ever higher. The American embassy compound in western Kyiv was closed on Wednesday morning, with a convoy of diplomatic vehicles apparently evacuating the buildings. A message posted by the embassy staff stated it had received “specific information of a potential significant air attack” that was thought to be planned for Wednesday. The closure was out of an “abundance of caution”, they said, but nevertheless...

    The material suggests that Gaetz’s father was told his son’s legal problems could go away if he gave $25 million to help secure the release of Iranian hostage Bob Levinson. --- The scandal swirling around Rep. Matt Gaetz took a stunning turn Wednesday with the news that a former Air Force intelligence official and a Florida lawyer tried to get the congressman’s dad to cough up $25 million that would be used to free American Bob Levinson from Iranian custody—and somehow release Gaetz from a federal sex-crimes investigation. And if that wasn’t enough, here’s one more strange fact: Levinson was...

    Senior American officials voiced serious concern on Saturday following the leak of two US intelligence documents allegedly outlining Israel’s preparations for a potential strike on Iran. These documents were published by a Telegram account linked to Iran. While both the US Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents, they did not deny their authenticity. The documents included an alleged report from the US Department of Defense's visual intelligence agency, which had been circulated within the US intelligence community three days earlier. The report detailed alleged recent actions at...

    Iran, Hamas, and other Iran-sponsored terrorist groups have targeted Israel and the U.S. for destruction for years. But somehow, our intelligence experts never caught wind of all these meetings by Hamas for years where they planned the attack on Israel. Secret Documents Show Hamas Planned Oct. 7 for Years, Delayed Massacre As They Begged for AlliesThe New York Times reported Saturday that they had obtained minutes from secret Hamas meetings that were seized by the Israeli military, and they provide some stunning — and concerning — revelations. The intel comes from the minutes of 10 planning meetings by Hamas leaders...

    Some were shocked to learn that Israel’s successful ‘Pagergeddon’ operation had been the work of a female intelligence operative under thirty. But they shouldn’t have been. Israel’s digital intelligence capabilities rely on the work of young women operating in arenas like Unit 8200 which monitors enemy communications, plants surveillance devices and puts together intel data to form a bigger picture, and Unit 414, the unarmed observers on the front line, many of whose members were killed and a number captured during the Hamas invasion on Oct 7. Women from 8200 and 414 had sounded early warning alerts about Hamas training...

  • Octopuses work together with fish to hunt—and the way they share decisions is surprisingly complex

    Phys.Org ^ | September 30, 2024 | Culum Brown
    A new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution lifts the veil on what happens when octopuses and fish hunt together. As it turns out, this cross-species relationship is more complex than anyone expected. Animals of the same species often cooperate—work together to reach some kind of goal. But it's relatively rare to find cooperation between individuals from different species. A classic example you'll be familiar with is the close relationship between dogs and humans, whether in the context of herding sheep or hunting. In these situations, the dog and the human work together to achieve a goal. That's mammals....

    Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said that the US is not providing Israel with support in its current conflict with the Hezbollah terrorist organization, including intelligence, Singh replied "no" when asked by a reporter if the US is providing any form of support to Israel in the Lebanon conflict. Earlier, US Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wrote a joint letter to President Joe Biden accusing the Biden Administration of continuing to delay the delivery of vital military equipment to Israel. The two senators wrote: "We write to strongly condemn your administration's continued delay in providing...

    According to a report from Israel’s Channel 12, each Hezbollah pager that exploded was individually set to detonate, with those behind the attack having precise knowledge of their targets’ locations and movements to minimize collateral damage. “Each pager had its own arrangements. That’s how it was possible to control who was hit and who wasn’t,” an unnamed foreign security source told the TV station. The attackers reportedly ensured that only the person carrying the pager was harmed, sparing civilians who may have been nearby at the time of the blasts. Footage from the incident showed one man being killed by...
