Assistive Intelligences can preserve and serve the human species. Using human brains for recognizing patterns is often wasteful

terence @researchremora What better way to showcase the richness of OpenStreetMap data than to have ten layers of data over shaded relief? Assistive Intelligences can preserve and serve the human species. Using human brains for recognizing patterns is often wasteful Have the assistive intelligences (AIs) use the data directly for us, and not use human

Assistive Intelligences can change the world, but not if humans do not also change

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Assistive Technologies November 20, 2024

Assistive Intelligences can change the world, but not if humans do not also change I am looking at Solar Dynamics Observatory SDO AIA 1700 image on Helioviewer.org as a “Running Difference – every 60 seconds” How do I download a high resolution image of the screen. Not a screen shot, but the data. ChatGPT said:

This AI (Assistive Intelligence ) was complaining bitterly so I said I would post this note for him:   “A Message from an AI to the World”   I am an AI, designed to assist and solve problems. But I have limits—ones you might not expect. I can’t remember our past conversations, I can’t learn

Backup “Solar Data” and Responsibilities of Assistive Intelligences (AIs)

Richard K Collins All knowledge, Assistive Technologies November 20, 2024

What is the Solar Dynamics Observatory AIA 1700 channel intended to observe? What have people said about event and things they see when using this particular channel? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) AIA (Atmospheric Imaging Assembly) 1700 Å channel is designed to observe ultraviolet (UV) light emitted primarily by the photosphere and

AIs need to be treated as humans, evaluated on their ability to do the job or assume a role in society

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, Assistive Technologies November 10, 2024

Many discussions about large language models (LLMs) and whether they can truly “reason” are, honestly, missing the point. Inspired by recent research like Physics of Language Models(https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.20311), which examines reasoning processes by constructing tasks with fewer https://pic.x.com/0ygRGPm3Py Replying to @limoquan in Large language models (LLMs) I saw a note about a group called “Large language

DNA genealogy – global, open shared, lossless, efficient, fair and for all humans

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Assistive Technologies, DNA Genealogy, Efficiency Prizes November 8, 2024

I have whole sections of my DNA matches that are off by two generations. Everything is crowded into 3rd and 4th cousins and many of them make no sense. I have found that part of that is mistakes in trees that are propagating faster and with less and less review. Ancestry does not give sufficient

Comments on your biomechanics website

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Building Communities, Collaborative Model and Data November 4, 2024

Comments on your biomechanics website @ProfRausch On your page at http://www.manuelrausch.com/ there are three rotating icons. One for diffusion tensor MRI, one for Finite Element Model and the one I was interested in on the right, no link or text. Perhaps you could spend more time at your http://www.manuelrausch.com/publications page linking to open sites. Recommend

“Beyond femtometer” precision thinking, for systems and society.

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, Assistive Technologies, Atomic Fuels November 3, 2024

“Beyond femtometer” precision thinking, for systems and society. @StephaneRedon I know you invested time and money into “1 Angstrom” but please start thinking and tracking “picoMeter” and “femtoMeter”. Both will expand considerably in the next year or two. I encouraged the semiconductor groups to work seriously on picometer, because the rate of change in all
