Technological Singularity - Fundamentals and Applications

Fouad Sabry

Summary

What Is Technological Singularity
 
The technological singularity, also referred to as simply the singularity, is an imagined point in the not-too-distant future at which the rate of technology advancement will become unmanageable and unreversible, bringing about shifts in human society that cannot be predicted. An upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, where each new and more intelligent generation appears more and more rapidly, causing a "explosion" in intelligence and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses all human intelligence, according to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, which is I. J. Good's intelligence explosion model. In this model, an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction."

Alcibiades 1

Plato

"Certainly! "Alcibiades I", also known as "First Alcibiades", is a dialogue ascribed to Plato. In this engaging conversation, Socrates interacts with the ambitious young man Alcibiades. Let's explore the essence of this dialogue:      Dramatis personae    Dramatis Personae:  Alcibiades: An ambitious youth eager to enter public life. He boasts of his good looks, noble birth, numerous friends, possessions, and connection to Pericles, the Athenian leader.  Socrates: The older philosopher who engages Alcibiades in conversation.  Content:  Alcibiades seeks Socrates' guidance before presenting himself to the Athenian assembly.  Socrates questions Alcibiades about justice, politics, and self-knowledge.  Alcibiades admits his ignorance and learns that expediency cannot exist without justice.  Socrates reminds him that true rivals are the kings of Sparta and Persia, emphasizing their education, might, and wealth.  They discuss contradictions in Alcibiades' thoughts and the Delphic maxim: "Know thyself."  The ruling principle of man, they conclude, lies not in the body but in the soul.  By the end of "Alcibiades I", Alcibiades accepts Socrates as his mentor. This dialogue invites us to explore the interplay of ambition, knowledge, and self-awareness. "

Christelle Rosar, Martine...

1.8 million people are directly affected by psychiatry in France. 350,000 are in hospital. For every 1,000 inhabitants, there is one compulsory hospitalization. Yet this system, which generates social exclusion and stigmatization, dominates. Admitted at the age of 16, Christelle Rosar was hospitalized for twenty years. They tied her down, injected her with drugs, and kept her in a vegetative state. She saw patients who remained in hospital from adolescence until their death, and others who gradually suffered the side effects of the treatments. Now free, she tells us about her struggles to regain her independence and her place in society, and denounces the abuses and failings of the French psychiatric system, which is particularly violent.

Salton Sea The: The History of...

Editors Charles River

In the list of popular American geological oddities and attractions, one sizeable phenomenon remains surprisingly unfamiliar to the average citizen. This may be due in part to its remote desert location, but perception of the Salton Sea in southern California is also laden with environmental concerns and is in a constant state of flux. The extensive body of inland saltwater hides a glorious commercial past and has served as an important wildlife preserve but approaches a seemingly inevitable crisis in the coming decade.
The Salton Sea in not directly “on the way” to anything substantial or iconic, and is situated one hour’s drive from Palm Springs, 30 miles to the south of Indio, California on Highway 111. Its distance from Los Angeles and San Diego is approximately three hours driving time. The most recognizable natural phenomenon of Imperial and Riverside counties, it is surrounded by a rural area comprised of predominantly migrant farm workers and located in the southern Colorado desert area known as the Salton Trough, or Salton Sink.
Despite being a natural occurrence filling and emptying intermittingly throughout history, the current presence of this large inland sea surrounded by sand was created accidentally in the early 20th century. First formed around 700 CE, the original and much larger version of the great inland lake was called Lake Cahuilla, connected to the Sea of Cortez. By the time the first Europeans arrived in the 16th century, the basin was completely dry as Don Juan Bautista led the first party across the basin’s expanse.
The “accidental” creation of the lake’s modern version was a product of the rising Colorado that destroyed a crucial section of the canal system designed to help farmers. Millions of gallons of water were forced into the lowland area. Beyond the one breach, the entire volume of the river flowed into the Salton lowlands for nearly two years before engineers finally stopped it.
