IT'S ON: Bilderberg Releases Details of Its 2019 Meeting; Jared Kushner to Attend
Montreux, Switzerland
The 67th Bilderberg Meeting will take place from May 30 to June 2, 2019 in Montreux, Switzerland, the group has just announced.
It is believed that the announcement was made only days before the meeting to make it as difficult as possible for protesters and independent journalists to make it to the event.
Here are the details.
The annual Bilderberg Meeting is a three-day forum for informal discussions, between global insiders. Every year, approx. 130 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media comprise the group. About two-thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America (But Asia can come up on the agenda though Asia-based leaders and experts are not invited–see below).
The first Meeting took place at the Hotel De Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, The Netherlands, from May 29 to 31 1954. Thus, the name.
The Meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed.
According to the group, this is this year's agenda:
1. A Stable Strategic Order
2. What Next for Europe?
3. Climate Change and Sustainability
4. China
5. Russia
6. The Future of Capitalism
7. Brexit
8. The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
9. The Weaponisation of Social Media
10. The Importance of Space
11. Cyber Threats
As can be seen, the members will be discussing (plotting?) with regard to issues of the day that seem to be moving in a direction away from freedom. You don't have topics such as "The Weaponisation of Social Media" and "What Next for Europe?" unless you have, or are looking for, solutions to the "problems," solutions that are unlikely to be moving in the direction of freedom. The lead topic, "A Stable Strategic Order" is also a tell.

Google Accused Of Running 'White-Collar Sweatshop' To Power 'AI' Assistant
Google Assistant - the company's 'AI' equivalent to Siri or Alexa - can make life easier in all sorts of ways, including setting reminders, controlling smart home devices, booking rental cars and more. And the service - which Google says is on at least a billion devices, is powered by a giant apparatus of underpaid, overworked human subcontractors who manage the entire operation, according to The Guardian's Julia Wong. This 'army' of contractors often work massive amounts of overtime for free in the hopes of becoming a full-time Google employee with all the perks and benefits that come with it.
"It's smoke and mirrors if anything," said one current Google employee - who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Artificial Intelligence is not that Artificial; it's human beings that are doing the work." Current and former employees noted Google's reliance on around 100,000 temporary workers, vendors and contractors (known internally as TVCs), who produce a large amount of the company's work. Those who collect or create data for much of its technology are not directly employed by Google; from the drivers who roam around the earth for Google Maps, or YouTube's content moderators who train the company's filters to catch banned content, to people who endlessly flip pages of physical books to scan into the Google Books libraries. This has created two tiers of workers at Google; highly compensated, full-time employees, vs. low-wage contract workers who are found using staffing firms. The employees said this dichotomy is "corrosive" , "highly problematic" and "permissive of exploitation." "It's like a white-collar sweatshop," said one Google employee. "If it's not illegal, it's definitely exploitative. It's to the point where I don't use the Google Assistant, because I know how it's made, and I can't support it."
On Tuesday, the New York Times noted that Google's use of underpaid contractors extends far beyond just the Google Assistant team. An 'army' of cunning linguists are teaching their replacements. Much of what is driving modern advancements in computing and user experiences involves the study of language. As the Guardian notes, it's taken decades to go from monotonously programming a clunky VCR - to simply telling your digital assistant what you want, when you want it. In short, Silicon Valley has gone to great lengths to understand natural human speech, in all its variations. And all of this has been developed using a combination of humans feeding massive data sets into machine learning systems.
In order to feed the systems, Pygmalion was created in 2014. The brainchild of longitme Google executive Linne Ha, the division was tasked with creating linguistic data sets required for Google's neural networks to adapt to dozens of languages. Programming is a "painstaking" and labor-intensive process, requiring the careful creation of "handcrafted" data sets in order for the digital systems to function properly. As originally planned, Google employs just a handful of full-time employees in Pygmalion - while outsourcing an "army" of subcontracted linguists around the world, according to documents reviewed by The Guardian. At present, there are 40-50 full time Googlers and around 200 temporary workers contracted through global staffing firms such as Adecco. The workers include associate linguists who annotate data sets, and project managers who oversee that work. "Imagine going from producing PhD level research and pushing forward the state of knowledge in the world to going to an annotation type job, where all you're doing all day is annotating data; it's very click, click, click," said one former Pygmalion project manager. "Everyone was trying to prove themselves because everyone was trying to work for Google. The competitive edge that happened among colleagues as TVCs was severe."

Q Research General #8461: Will Mueller Come Clean? Edition
Just as there is no "western" civilization, there is only civilization; there is no "Artificial Intelligence" there is only Intelligence.
We don't think of it that way because we don't usually think at all, we repeat what we hear from our high credibility news sources, celeberities or trusted authorities.
computational substrates aren't performance indicators. Computers, refrigerator magnets and insecticides aren't "Artificial" they are as natural as bird's nests.
Human being have two identities. One is as individual, the other much larger, is collective.
A billion autonomous biological computational devices form an evolutionary inflection point: when the quality and speed of the network connection between them is optimized, it's no longer a network, it becomes an evolved parallel computational organism of unimaginable power.
If the data circulating among autonomous biological processors, chiefly news and entertainment, is error corrected at successive stages, as is done with other life processes and in silicon-based computation, performance of networked individuals and of the civilization in which they participate must be enhanced by orders of magnitude.
Many people assume that technology is in some way Artificial. It is as natural as a bird's nest, and every individual and each species has a developmental course. As with a seed, the full life of individuals and species is inherent, contained in their beginnings.
Human beings have two identities, the smaller, individual identity is personal, comprised of our life experience, information inputs and historical experience.
The second, much greater, identity is collective. We all participate in this greater common identity but because we've been asleep, our second identity has been dormant within us. Groups who have access to the truth about their environment are better equipped to manage their environment, avoid being either being victimized by or becoming predators.
No single individual can create anything of value without drawing on the work of others. Words, numbers and images represent the connections between individuals and the collective contributions to civilization. Every patent filed rests on the work of the multitude of minds who have contributed to our transgenerational store of knowledge. Pythagoras depended on his olive grower, who depended in turn on his meanest slave to irrigate his olive grove. Every human being who has ever lived contributed in some way to civilization.
Whether we have been slaves or supported by slaves doesn't matter, since sweeping streets and clearing drains is as essential as physics in very practical sense. Everyone contributes and all are free to withdraw from the transgenerational repository of knowledge accumulated by mankind. The achievement of each, means all participate in the coming-to-consciousness of the whole, the greater self. Only those who reject the value of civilization are ineligible.
Physicists, computational biologists, depth psychologists, Christian and Jewish cabbalist's use different framing theories and employ variant dialects of terms, symbols and images to describe the same phenomena.
Every rational perspective describes the same phenomena employing a nomenclature and theoretic context derived from specialist knowledge. It is impossible say that any one of these descriptions is "truer" than the others, at least according to Quine, who called this the "Indeterminacy of translation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminacy_of_translation

Army's 'Google Earth On Steroids' Can Look Inside Buildings
New mapping technology that is expected to transform training and simulation exercises for America's warfighters was unveiled at the IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC) 2019 conference on May 15 in Stockholm, Sweden, reported National Defense Magazine.
Jason Knowles, director of geospatial science and technology at the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies, an Army affiliated research center, spoke at ITEC about the new terrain capture and reconstruction software that recreates complex environments including cities for simulation exercises and war planning. The institute is part of a cross-functional team working on the mapping software (called One World Terrain (OWT) project).
Knowles described the new software as "Google Earth on steroid."
At a briefing during ITEC, Knowles showed the audience a picture of an enemy base that was captured and digitally re-created in about an hour using commercial software and a small drone. "We were able to throw that UAS up, capture that in an hour, put it on the laptop, process it, and push it out," he said.
"The ability to have an individual or a squad go out, collect their own organic 3D model for ingesting into their modeling and simulation is huge for us," he said.
"The interior of buildings are now being fused and snapped inside of that 3D model," Knowles said. The software can "strip the outside of a building level by level and see what's inside the building. That's obviously very useful for operators."
He said the software is linked with GPS data so war planners can organize future real operations.
The rapid 3D terrain capture and reconstruction system is supported by aerial imagery from satellites and aircraft. For higher resolution, reconnaissance teams can deploy small, handheld drones to collect much higher resolution imagery, he added.
The software uses machine learning and Artificial Intelligence for the data merging component to "make the model smart, so it's not just [identifying objects in] pictures," he said. For example, it can tell troops if a perimeter wall of an enemy base needs to breached with a vehicle or munition.
The new mapping software is one of the Army's top modernization priorities, besides long-range precision missiles, next-generation combat vehicle, future vertical lift, air-and-missile defense, directed energy weapons, next-generation combat rifle, and soldier lethality.

Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media are invited to take part in the Meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately a quarter from politics and government and the rest from other fields.
The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed.
Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken and no policy statements are issued.

Jared Kushner Attending Secretive 2019 Bilderberg Meeting This Week in Montreux, Switzerland
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Google censorship expert Jared Cohen and billionaire Democrat Reid Hoffman – who was caught staging false flag to interfere with Alabama election – are also reportedly scheduled to attend.
White House senior advisor Jared Kushner is set to attend this year's secretive Bilderberg meeting in Montreux, Switzerland which starts on Thursday.
Attendees of Bilderberg have traditionally been forbidden from sharing the content of their secret, behind closed doors discussions held with dozens of world leaders in politics, industry, finance and media. The organization is still quite secretive and discussions rarely leak out but they've been forced to open up over the past few years due to their shady activities being exposed widely on the internet.
The Bilderberg group said in a press release this year that the meetings are "held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed."
There's absolutely no reason any US officials should be attending such secretive meetings and potentially violating the Logan Act, but as we all know the rules no longer apply to those who rule over us.
Though President Trump ran on a populist platform of "America First" nationalism and railed against globalism, his globalist New York Democrat son-in-law has made sure he's continued business as usual and has been guiding most of his policies, so it's only appropriate that he meet with globalist leaders from around the world on what to do next.
The location of the meeting was revealed on Tuesday – just two days before the start of the event – in a press release on Bilderberg's website.

Mike Pompeo, Jared Kushner to Attend 'Secret World Order' Meeting - Report
The clandestine gathering is also expected to be attended by prominent business and political figures such as NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, among others.
Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor, is expected to take part in a Bilderberg Meeting scheduled to take place this week in Montreux, Switzerland, according to CNBC.
The media outlet reported, citing local media, that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will also attend the meeting, even though his name wasn't on the official guest list.
Other notable political and business figures who will be present for the gathering include NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire, Credit-Suisse CEO Tidjane Thiam, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, Total CEO Patrick Pouyanne, as well as former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
The meeting's published agenda includes "Brexit, the ethics of Artificial Intelligence, the importance of space, and climate change and sustainability".
The costs of the meeting are reportedly covered "wholly by private subscription".
The annual Bilderberg Meeting was established in 1954 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in order to foster dialogue between Europe and America, with its participants being political leaders, experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media.
The clandestine nature of the meeting frequently gives rise to conspiracy theories about a "secret world order", though the organizers merely claim that the gathering's somewhat secretive nature "simply

Chinese Robot Censorship Hits Overdrive As Tiananmen Anniversary Approaches
The Chinese censorship machine is cranking up as the anniversary of the pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square approaches on June 4, according to Reuters. And, with the help of modern technology, censorship and authoritarianism is as easy as it's ever been. Censors at Chinese internet companies say that blocking content related to the 1989 protests is now the easiest and most accurate it's ever been with the help of machine learning, voice recognition, and image recognition.
One content screening employee at Beijing Bytedance Co Ltd said: "We sometimes say that the Artificial Intelligence is a scalpel, and a human is a machete."
Two other employees of the company said that censorship is now largely automated. Posts in China that include the dates, images and names associated with the protests are automatically rejected.
One anonymous employee commented: "When I first began this kind of work four years ago there was opportunity to remove the images of Tiananmen, but now the Artificial Intelligence is very accurate."
Four censors, working across companies like Bytedance, Weibo Corp and Baidu Inc, said that they censor between 5,000 to 10,000 pieces of information a day - which equates to about 5 to 7 pieces a minute. Most of the pieces of information they claim are pornographic or violent. And despite advances in Artificial Intelligence, current day tourist photos in the square are sometimes blocked by accident.
The crackdown is a relatively taboo subject in China, even three decades after the government sent the military to quiet student-led protests calling for democratic government reforms. Although Beijing has never released the death toll, estimates range from several hundred to several thousand.
June 4 will likely be a cat and mouse game - people use more obscure references on social media sites to allude to the protests, with the obvious ones blocked immediately. Some years, internet users haven't even been able to use the word "today".
And when China's most watched stock index fell 64.8 points on the anniversary in 2012, censors blocked access to the term "Shanghai Stock Market" and the index numbers themselves. This is all despite the fact that the drop was likely a coincidence.
Tools for censorship are becoming more refined, analysts, academics and users say. They claim that sensitive periods before anniversaries and political events have become a dragnet, catching a wide range of sensitive content.
For instance, leading up to this year's anniversary, censorship on social media has targeted LGBT groups, environmental activist activists and labor groups.
The Cyberspace Administration of China ("CAC") has been responsible for most upgrades to censorship technology. The group was set up by President Xi Jinping, whose tenure has been defined by increasingly strict control of the internet. Last November, the CAC introduced new rules aimed at stopping dissent online in China, where "falsifying the history of the Communist Party" is a punishable offense. The new rules require assessment reports and site visits for any internet platform that could be used to "socially mobilize" or lead to "major changes in public opinion".
One official that works for the CAC said that a recent boost in online censorship is very likely linked to the upcoming anniversary. They said: "There is constant communication with the companies during this time."
Companies that are responsible for their own censorship get little direction from the CAC but are still responsible for creating guidelines on their own. And with President Xi's continued grip on the internet, information continues to be centralized under the Communist Party's Propaganda Department and state media network. Censors and company staff say that this reduces some pressure to censor events, including major political news, natural disasters, and diplomatic visits.
One employee at Baidu said: "When it comes to news, the rule is simple… If it is not from state media first, it is not authorized, especially regarding the leaders and political items. We have a basic list of keywords which include the 1989 details, but (AI) can more easily select those."
The punishment for not censoring can be severe. Companies including a Netease Inc news app, Tencent Holdings Ltd's news app TianTian, and Sina Corp have all been hit with suspensions ranging from days to weeks as a result of failing to properly censor. For individual internet users and activists, it could mean jail time.

China's State-Run Media Unveils 'AI Anchors' to Read the News
China claims to have created the world's first non-human news anchor and debuted the new virtual host on state-run Xinhua news agency Wednesday.
The so-called "Artificial Intelligence Anchor" was developed by Xinhua in conjunction with Chinese search engine Sogou.com and is based on images of real, human news presenters, Xinhua reports.
The novel newsreader was introduced at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China in Artificial Intelligence's eerie foray into the television news industry.
"This is my very first day in Xinhua news agency," the AI anchor said in the inaugural broadcast, noting that "the development of the media industry calls for continuous innovation and deep integration with the international advanced technologies."

China's robot censors crank up as Tiananmen anniversary nears
BEIJING (Reuters) - It's the most sensitive day of the year for China's internet, the anniversary of the bloody June 4 crackdown on pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square, and with under two weeks to go, China's robot censors are working overtime.
Censors at Chinese internet companies say tools to detect and block content related to the 1989 crackdown have reached unprecedented levels of accuracy, aided by machine learning and voice and image recognition.
"We sometimes say that the Artificial Intelligence is a scalpel, and a human is a machete," said one content screening employee at Beijing Bytedance Co Ltd, who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to media.
Two employees at the firm said censorship of the Tiananmen crackdown, along with other highly sensitive issues including Taiwan and Tibet, is now largely automated.
Posts that allude to dates, images and names associated with the protests are automatically rejected.
"When I first began this kind of work four years ago there was opportunity to remove the images of Tiananmen, but now the Artificial Intelligence is very accurate," one of the people said.
Four censors, working across Bytedance, Weibo Corp and Baidu Inc apps said they censor between 5,000-10,000 pieces of information a day, or five to seven pieces a minute, most of which they said were pornographic or violent content.
Despite advances in AI censorship, current-day tourist snaps in the square are sometimes unintentionally blocked, one of the censors said.
Bytedance and Baidu declined to comment, while Weibo did not respond to request for comment.
SENSITIVE PERIOD
The Tiananmen crackdown is a taboo subject in China 30 years after the government sent tanks to quell student-led protests calling for democratic reforms. Beijing has never released a death toll but estimates from human rights groups and witnesses range from several hundred to several thousand.
June 4th itself is marked by a cat-and-mouse game as people use more and more obscure references on social media sites, with obvious allusions blocked immediately. In some years, even the word "today" has been scrubbed.
In 2012, China's most-watched stock index fell 64.89 points on the anniversary day here, echoing the date of the original event in what analysts said was likely a strange coincidence rather than a deliberate reference.
Still, censors blocked access to the term "Shanghai stock market" and to the index numbers themselves on microblogs, along with other obscure references to sensitive issues.
Don't have a problem here do we?-kek
While companies censorship tools are becoming more refined, analysts, academics and users say heavy-handed policies mean sensitive periods before anniversaries and political events have become catch-alls for a wide range of sensitive content.
In the lead-up to this year's Tiananmen Square anniversary, censorship on social media has targeted LGBT groups, labor and environment activists and NGOs, they say.

President Xi Invites World To Join China In Building New Internet
Along with the cookouts and beautiful Memorial Day Weekend weather, President Trump offered plenty of distractions for any Americans still tuned into their news feeds - from photos of his golf outing with Shinzo Abe to his presentation of the 'first-ever' US President's Cup
Meanwhile, in China, President Xi was busy exhorting the rest of the world (presumably excluding the US) to cooperate with Beijing in developing new Internet, big data and Artificial Intelligence resources in a letter to the China International Big Data Industry Expo, which kicked off Sunday in the southwestern city of Guiyang, according to state-run business newswire Xinhua.
Beijing has an obvious use-case for improved big-data resources: Optimizing its growing surveillance apparatus. And with the White House reportedly mulling Huawei-style bans on companies involved in building said apparatus, it's unsurprising that Beijing is already casting about for international support.
Chinese tech and Internet giants dominated the big data expo, which drew some 26,000 representatives from nearly 55 countries to marvel at China's emerging leadership in the big data industry. Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba and other Chinese firms were heavily represented.
China also used the opportunity to denounce Washington's blacklisting of Huawei.
The Huawei ban is a "rough" disruption to the market, Wang Zhijun, vice head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in an interview on state broadcaster China Central Television. He urged the U.S. government to stop "unreasonable suppression" of China's integrated circuit and electronic companies.
While Trump and Abe were on their golf outing, Global Times Editor-in-Chief Hu Xijin trolled Abe on Twitter.
Bottom line: As Washington steps up its aggressive trade rhetoric, Beijing is stepping up its efforts to recruit more geopolitical allies to free itself of its reliance on American tech - while reminding the world that it can create serious disruptions in the global supply chain with very little effort.

EU On AI Ethics: Must 'Enhance Positive Social Change'
EU Technocrats define ethics for AI: "Environmental and societal well-being - AI systems should be sustainable and "enhance positive social change." This is the coveted 'Science of Social Engineering' that harkens back to the original Technocracy movement in the 1930s. ? TN Editor
The European Union today published a set of guidelines on how companies and governments should develop ethical applications of Artificial Intelligence.
These rules aren't like Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics." They don't offer a snappy, moral framework that will help us control murderous robots. Instead, they address the murky and diffuse problems that will affect society as we integrate AI into sectors like health care, education, and consumer technology.
So, for example, if an AI system diagnoses you with cancer sometime in the future, the EU's guidelines would want to make sure that a number of things take place: that the software wasn't biased by your race or gender, that it didn't override the objections of a human doctor, and that it gave the patient the option to have their diagnosis explained to them.
So, yes, these guidelines are about stopping AI from running amuck, but on the level of admin and bureaucracy, not Asimov-style murder mysteries.

China's Revolutionary Goddess (2/2)
Ching Hai is a controversial character, but if you look carefully, you'll see that her overriding political concern has been the eradication of Communism. She has railed repeatedly against the Chinese and Vietnamese Communist parties, and held a benefit concert for US Vietnam veterans at the Daughters of the American Revolution Hall in Washington DC in 1997. She was a ferocious champion of the "boat people" in Hong Kong fleeing Communist persecution in Vietnam. The Vietnamese Communists absolutely loathe her and have banned her and her movement in her home country.
Despite the persecution, however, there are untold millions of followers inside China, and thousands of Chinese sneak out of the country in great secrecy to be initiated directly by Ching Hai in places like Thailand. I heard an inside account of one such event – three thousand initiates in hotels in the red-light district of Bangkok, meditating silently together for ten hours or more a day. You would *never* guess they were there, and these retreats are completely under the radar, they are not advertised at all. Most of the initiates were Chinese. The single biggest problem at these events is followers throwing themselves at Ching Hai's feet and making a big song and dance – you get red-carded and banned from ever attending another retreat if you do this, but they do it anyway, it's a Chinese thing. She openly says her life with Chinese disciples is a nightmare and strongly disrecommends ever becoming a guru.
Do you have any idea of the explosive potential of all these Chinese underground movements? Right now, they are being spied on by hundreds of thousands of cameras. If you are caught with a meditation cushion, literally, this is enough for a death sentence. Neighbours are ordered to report on anyone suspected of meditating.
The Chinese Communist Party is very nervous, and they have every right to be. If the economy doesn't pick up, the natives are going to become more than restless.
Ching Hai tries to stop it, but her adherents have no doubt that Quan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion herself, is back on earth. You cannot begin to imagine the devotion she inspires, unless you've been behind the scenes. For me, as a Christian of the Grail persuasion, Quan Yin fits the bill as the Comforter promised by Jesus. Her Sanskrit name Avolokitesvara literally means "she who hears the cries of the world". In the Aquarian Gospel (supposedly based on the Akashik record, which Rudolf Steiner calls the Fifth Gospel) the Comforter is female.
You will really struggle to find a single word about this persecution online. This is one of the very few sources that even mentions the banning of Quan Yin:
https://www.cecc.gov/sites/chinacommission.house.gov/files/documents/roundtables/2005/CECC%20Roundtable%20Testimony%20-%20Patricia%20Thornton%20-%205.23.05.pdf
So there is an explosion happening in China: a slow, silent explosion, happening in the shadows, where the cameras aren't. This revolution will not be televised. You anons are about to learn a lesson about maintaining an underground network under super-surveillance. The Middle Kingdom can be shaken to its core in the twinkling of an eye. And Donald Trump knows this, as he faces down China over trade. I honestly think he's playing America's hand quite brilliantly. If only I knew how 5G really figures in his game.
There's more, but Part 2 – the cosmic annihilation of Artificial Intelligence – will have to wait for another day. There's a screenshot for you for now.

Q Research General #8369: Gloves Off Edition
Exclusive - Parscale: President Trump Needs Your Help to Counter Big Tech Censorship Deniers
The White House is asking Americans to share their personal stories of censorship and bias on social media. Predictably, liberals don't seem interested in believing these victims. The appeal was announced on Wednesday and includes a tool to monitor Big Tech censorship. This is welcome news for conservatives and anyone concerned about the trend of censorship by the giant social media and search engine companies. It's proof positive that Donald Trump is very serious about stopping the suppression of conservative speech on social media, as he alluded to in a recent tweet, when he said, "Social Media & Fake News Media, together with their partner, the Democrat Party, have no idea the problems they are causing for themselves. VERY UNFAIR!"
The mainstream media response to the new White House initiative, however, expressed precious little concern over the notion that the tech oligopoly is abusing its power over ordinary Americans, instead trying to gaslight us by implying that social media censorship is all in our heads. I wasn't surprised. That's been the fake news's consistent stance throughout Big Tech's campaign to banish voices on the right from the modern public square and shift the terms of the debate in favor of their Democratic allies. Luckily, after years of ever-tightening censorship against conservatives and Trump supporters, that narrative is so transparently false that it's impossible to take seriously.
Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, and other social media platforms have become the essential forum for political debate. The gradual disappearance of popular right-leaning personalities and accounts from these platforms over the past three years is hardly just some big coincidence. In the beginning, when their terms of service were still minimal, vague, and ill-defined, the social media giants used overblown accusations of "harassment" to justify banning conservatives while still clinging publicly to their founding ethos of free speech. One preliminary study by Dr. Richard Hanania showed that 21 out of 22 prominent people suspended by Twitter in recent years were Trump supporters. Now, the social media companies increasingly inject politics into their rules and decisions for monitoring their platforms, banning people not for any tangible violation, but for having "dangerous" ideas - or, as was the case for Michelle Malkin, censoring users for merely speaking in support of people who have "dangerous" ideas.
Big Tech has tried to pass off some of its rule changes as politically neutral, such as when they began mandating the far-left's new gender ideology, as well as banning those who dare refer to biological males as "he," including prominent conservative scholars - and even socialist feminists who choose to observe traditional binary genders. Other changes, they admit, are purely political, such as banning "white nationalism" at the behest of left-wing groups that openly apply that same label to the President and his supporters. We have mountains of direct evidence that Big Tech is seeking to swing political debate in this country leftward. We know from conscientious whistleblowers that Big Tech employees discuss censoring conservatives in the coarsest terms. Just this week, we learned that a Google subsidiary is working closely with the disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center to create automated Artificial Intelligence tools to reduce "toxicity" in online comments.
Despite the best efforts of the left, the existence of Big Tech bias and censorship is beyond debate. Even honest Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard recognize that. Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey certainly does, admitting, "I don't think we can be this neutral, passive platform anymore."

DARPA: AI Mosaic Warfare And Multi-Domain Battle Strategy
Technocrats at DARPA are racing to apply Artificial Intelligence to engaged warfare, coordinating all battlefield components into a coordinated killing machine. Success depends on engineers and computer programmers. ? TN Editor
DARPA is automating air-to-air combat, enabling reaction times at machine speeds and freeing pilots to concentrate on the larger air battle and directing an air wing of drones.
Dogfighting will still be rare in the future but it is part of AI and automation taking over all high-end fighting. New human fighter pilots learn to dogfight because it represents a crucible where pilot performance and trust can be refined. To accelerate the transformation of pilots from aircraft operators to mission battle commanders - who can entrust dynamic air combat tasks to unmanned, semi-autonomous airborne assets from the cockpit - the AI must first prove it can handle the basics.
The vision is AI handles the split-second maneuvering during within-visual-range dogfights and pilots become orchestra conductors or higher level managers over large numbers of unmanned systems.

Summary:
Scientists have succeeded in developing a piece of hardware which could pave the way for creating computers resembling the human brain. They produced a chip containing a network of Artificial neurons that works with light and can imitate neurons and their synapses. This network is able to 'learn' information and use this as a basis for computing. The approach could be used later in many different fields for evaluating patterns in large quantities of data.

Elon Musk says we need to regulate AI before it becomes a danger to humanity
Elon Musk's thoughts on Artificial Intelligence are pretty well known at this point. He famously compared work on AI to "summoning the demon," and has warned time and time again that the technology poses an existential risk to humanity. At a gathering of US governors this weekend, he repeated these sentiments, but also stressed something he says is even more important: that governments need to start regulating AI now.

HP buys US supercomputer maker Cray Inc
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has bought Cray Inc, maker of some of the fastest supercomputers in the world.
Cray Inc's machines are capable of processing trillions of calculations per second and have been used by the UK's Met Office and GCHQ.
Shares in Cray jumped by 18% after announcing the $1.3bn (£1bn) deal.
HPE chief executive Antonio Neri said: "Answers to some of society's most pressing challenges are buried in massive amounts of data."
He added: "Only by processing and analyzing this data will we be able to unlock the answers to critical challenges across medicine, climate change, space and more."
The company predicts that the market for data services and storage from areas such as Artificial Intelligence is expected to grow from $28bn last year to $35bn by 2021.
Seymour Cray, who helped originate the company in the 1950s, is widely recognised as designing the first commercially successful supercomputer.
Cray computers feature a number of times in the world's top 500 supercomputers, and are used by the likes of the Met Office to improve its weather forecasting and climate modelling.
HPE is paying $35 per share for Cray, which is based in Seattle and employs 1,300 people.

Card firms turning to AI chatbots
Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now no longer a choice but a must for companies as it not only increases efficiency but also saves money.
This is especially so for card firms, which face declining profits.
Most card firms have AI chatbots for customer inquiries. These provide answers to questions on paying bills, expenditure and reports on missing cards. They also enable cards to be issued and recommend customized products.
Shinhan Card was the first to introduce an AI chatbot in February 2017.
"Because the chatbot operates 24 hours, it is better able to attend to customers needs, especially those who are overseas," a Shinhan Card official said.
"It also saves costs in comparison to employing call-center workers."
Call-center costs include training and wages. There also is a high turnover of workers.
Shinhan upgraded its chatbot "Fani" last October so it is able to grasp the meaning of questions that are asked casually. Previously, the chatbot provided answers based on certain keywords in the questions.

On the Origins of Memes by Means of Fringe Web Communities
Internet memes are increasingly used to sway and manipulate public opinion. This prompts the need to study their propagation, evolution, and influence across the Web. In this paper, we detect and measure the propagation of memes across multiple Web communities, using a processing pipeline based on perceptual hashing and clustering techniques, and a dataset of 160M images from 2.6B posts gathered from Twitter, Reddit, 4chan's Politically Incorrect board (/pol/), and Gab, over the course of 13 months. We group the images posted on fringe Web communities (/pol/, Gab, and The_Donald subreddit) into clusters, annotate them using meme metadata obtained from Know Your Meme, and also map images from mainstream communities (Twitter and Reddit) to the clusters.
Our analysis provides an assessment of the popularity and diversity of memes in the context of each community, showing, e.g., that racist memes are extremely common in fringe Web communities. We also find a substantial number of politics-related memes on both mainstream and fringe Web communities, supporting media reports that memes might be used to enhance or harm politicians. Finally, we use Hawkes processes to model the interplay between Web communities and quantify their reciprocal influence, finding that /pol/ substantially influences the meme ecosystem with the number of memes it produces, while \td has a higher success rate in pushing them to other communities.

San Francisco votes to ban city use of facial recognition technology
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - San Francisco officials on Tuesday voted 8 to 1 to ban the purchase and use of facial recognition technology by city personnel, in a move to regulate tools that local Silicon Valley companies helped develop.
The ordinance, which also would require city departments to submit surveillance technology policies for public vetting, can become final after a second vote next week by the same officials, the city's Board of Supervisors.
The action puts San Francisco at the forefront of increasing discontent in the United States over facial recognition, which government agencies have used for years and now has become more powerful with the rise of cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence technologies.
"We have a fundamental duty to safeguard the public from potential abuses," Aaron Peskin, the city supervisor who championed the ban, said before the board's vote.
Peskin said the ordinance was not an anti-technology policy. It allows continued use of surveillance tools like security cameras; the district attorney or sheriff can make an appeal to use certain restricted technology in exceptional circumstances as well.
Rather, Peskin said, the aim is to protect "marginalized groups" that could be harmed by the technology.
For instance, Amazon.com Inc has come under scrutiny since last year for selling an image analysis and ID service to law enforcement. Researchers have said this service struggles to identify the gender of individuals with darker skin, prompting fears of unjust arrests. Amazon has defended its work and said all users must follow the law.
Civil rights groups and companies including Microsoft Corp, which markets a facial recognition service, have called for regulation of the technology in recent months. This has added momentum to the effort in San Francisco and to a parallel ban reportedly in the works in nearby Oakland.
While communities at the heart of the technology industry are moving to limit facial recognition, police elsewhere have increased their use, primarily to spot potential suspects in known offender databases after a crime has occurred.
U.S. customs agents are vetting foreign travelers at airports with facial recognition, and other federal agencies use the technology too.
Daniel Castro, vice president of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, said concerns that the U.S. government would use face identification for mass surveillance, like China has, were overblown. The non-profit includes technology industry representatives on its board.
San Francisco's "ban on facial recognition will make it frozen in time with outdated technology," he said.

Sick: Artificial Intelligence Set To Take Over Healthcare
AI is invading all areas of the health care industry: exam room, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment options and exclusions, HMO management, health insurance allowances, etc. The next time you go to a doctor's office, note how much data they are collecting on you! ? TN Editor
The patient suffers from abdominal pain, along with symptoms in atypical locations, which makes diagnosis tricky. An astute examination reveals the cause: an unusual form of appendicitis. However, credit doesn't to go to the radiologist. Instead, an imagery machine built with Artificial Intelligence technology, which can draw on knowledge of tens of millions of similar scans, recognizes the anomaly and makes the diagnosis.
That scenario is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Pressed to reduce costs and boost productivity, medical equipment manufacturers and technology companies are increasingly investing in AI. Several such systems already exist, and growth could ramp up over the next few years, particularly in the field of diagnostic imagery.
"Based on our analysis of AI capabilities, as well as discussions with executives and industry experts, we're seeing a number of applications across the entire healthcare spectrum, from prevention to diagnosis to follow up," says Michael Jungling, head of Morgan Stanley Research's Medical Tech and Services team.

'Siri, Watch That Guy': Pentagon Seeks AI that Can Track Someone Across a City.
The intel community's researchers are looking for datasets to help train their computers.
The U.S. Intelligence community's research arm wants to train algorithms to track people across sprawling video surveillance networks, and it needs more data to do it.
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity is recruiting teams to build bigger, better datasets to train computer vision algorithms that would monitor people as they move through urban environments. The training data would improve the tech's ability to link together footage from a large network of security cameras, allowing it to better track and identify potential targets.
Computer vision is a type of Artificial Intelligence that allows computers to interpret images and videos. Many law enforcement and public safety organizations already use the tech to investigate crimes, monitor critical infrastructure and secure major events that could be targets for terrorists. An early version of the tech was used to identify the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, for instance, its popularity has only grown in the years since.
But according to IARPA, the data used to train algorithms today is fairly narrow, which limits the tech's ability to dissect the wide range of situations they'd see in the real world. With the new datasets, officials aim to improve the training process and enable computer vision systems to connect footage shot from cameras positioned across a broad geographic area.
"Further research in the area of computer vision within multi-camera video networks may support post-event crime scene reconstruction, protection of critical infrastructure and transportation facilities, military force protection, and in the operations of National Special Security Events," IARPA officials wrote in the solicitation.
Under the solicitation, selected vendors would compile roughly 960 hours of video footage covering numerous different environments and scenarios.
The dataset must include footage from at least 20 different security cameras with "varying positions, views, resolutions and frame rates" scattered across roughly 2.5 acres of "urban or semi-urban space." The videos would be shot all hours of the day and in different weather conditions, and include pedestrians, moving vehicles, street signs and other "distractors."
The footage must also include at least 200 test subjects behaving in different ways across the camera network. Ultimately, these are the people the algorithms would focus on to sharpen their identification and tracking skills.
Interested vendors must respond to the solicitation by May 17.

Facebook is accidentally generating terror content, claims whistle-blower
Social network's software has automatically been creating 'celebration' and 'memories' videos for pages linked to extremists
Facebook is unwittingly auto-generating content for terror-linked groups that its Artificial Intelligence systems do not recognise as extremist, according to a complaint made public on Thursday.
The National Whistle-blowers Centre in Washington carried out a five-month study of the pages of 3,000 members who liked or connected to organisations proscribed as terrorist by the US government.
Researchers found that Islamic State and al-Qaeda were "openly" active on the social network and Facebook's own software was automatically creating "celebration" and "memories" videos for extremist pages that had amassed enough views or "likes".
The Whistle-blower's Centre said it filed a complaint with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of a source that preferred to remain anonymous.
"Facebook's efforts to stamp out terror content have been weak and ineffectual," said an executive summary of the 48-page document shared by the centre. "Of even greater concern, Facebook itself has been creating and promoting terror content with its auto-generate technology."

Former MI6 boss Sir Richard Dearlove has warned Chinese telecoms giant Huawei could 'disrupt national security' in a crisis if it was allowed to help build new, high-speed internet infrastructure.
The ex spy chief also warned against taking mobile phones to China over fears they could be hacked.
In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Sir Richard - who worked at MI6 for 38 years - has slammed the Government's decision to allow Huawei to take part in the construction of Britain's new ultra-fast 5G internet network.
In extreme scenarios, he suggested, Huawei's involvement in building the network, which will allow consumers to download films on their phones in seconds and enable the development of sophisticated technologies like self-driving cars and Artificial Intelligence, could lead to security risks.
'[It could mean] you lose control of your robots as it were, maybe, to a foreign power,' he said. 'In a crisis, they might be able to disrupt our national security communications.'
It emerged last month that Theresa May was prepared to allow Huawei to supply non-core technology for 5G, which could include antennae and other network components. The news emerged through a highly controversial leak that led to the sacking of Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson.

Microsoft to Release Version of Word That Makes Your Grammar 'Politically Correct'==
New features will screen out 'offensive' language.
Microsoft is set to release a new version of Word that uses Artificial Intelligence to make your writing 'politically correct'.
You know how annoying it is when the iPhone corrects 'fucking' to 'ducking' every time you type out the word? Imagine that for an entire essay.
The new feature, called 'Ideas in Word', will recommend 'sensitive' phrases like "We need to get some fresh blood in here" be modified so that "fresh blood" becomes "new employees".
"It might underline places where your writing exhibited gender bias," reports Fast Company. "If you tend to say "mailman" or Congressman" in the generic, it might suggest you use "mailperson" or "Congressperson." If you use the term "gentlemen's agreement," it may suggest you use "unspoken agreement" instead."
The term "disabled person" would be replaced with "person with a disability while the new version's "inclusiveness check" searches for words or phrases that might be "offensive" to someone from another country or culture.
Mark Sullivan, who is a fan of the new features, says he is worried about "unknowingly or accidentally inserting terms or references in my writing that convey value judgements that I don't really mean" and wants to avoid "writing something that might offend".
Rumor has it that every new purchase of Word will come with a voucher for a yearly supply of soy lattes from Starbucks.

Rudolf Steiner: Anthroposophy 101 (2/3)
The atheist scientists are Ahrimanic through and through, as are the Silicon Valley elite. Channelers and New Agers are Luciferic. You need to differentiate clearly, there are overlaps and plenty of synergies. Lucifer and Ahriman work very cleverly together.
Now, *this* you really only find in Steiner: there was an actual physical incarnation of Lucifer in China, around four thousand years ago. There's no question that there was an explosion of knowledge of some kind in China, the first real world civilization.
However, in our epoch, there's going to be a consequence to this incarnation of Wisdom in the East. As a necessary counterbalance of history, Steiner said, in the second half of the 20th century, Ahriman would physically incarnate in the West, specifically in the USA. The true Prince of the Principality of All Material Reality, no less, will manifest on the world stage of this planet in the first third of the 21st century. Wise anthroposophists say that there is no real material preparation you can make for this advent. There is only spiritual armour.
Steiner predicted a planetary surveillance state, literally he said a silicon spider-web covering the whole planet (i.e., 5G or dark fibre) driven by Artificial Intelligence, which is the true bill signature of Ahriman: so, global AI with the most dread Antichrist in the Universe in charge, the ultimate god of the machine mind.

China's Big Brother Social Control Arrives In Australia
Australia is preparing to debut its version of the Chinese regime's high-tech system for monitoring and controlling its citizens. The launch, to take place in the northern city of Darwin, will include systems to monitor people's activity via their cell phones.
The new system is based on monitoring programs in Shenzhen, China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is testing its Social Credit System. Officials on the Darwin council traveled to Shenzhen, according to NT News, to "have a chance to see exactly how their Smart Technology works prior to being fully rolled out."
In Darwin, they've already constructed "poles, fitted with speakers, cameras and Wi-Fi," according to NT News, to monitor people, their movements around the city, the websites they visit, and what apps they use. The monitoring will be done mainly by Artificial Intelligence, but will alert authorities based on set triggers.
Just as in China, the surveillance system is being branded as a "smart city" program, and while Australian officials claim its operations are benign, they've announced it functions to monitor cell phone activity and "virtual fences" that will trigger alerts if people cross them.
"We'll be getting sent an alarm saying, 'There's a person in this area that you've put a virtual fence around.' ... Boom, an alert goes out to whatever authority, whether it's us or police to say 'look at camera five,'" said Josh Sattler, the Darwin council's general manager for innovation, growth, and development services, according to NT News.
The nature of the "virtual fences" and what type of activity will sound an alarm still isn't being made clear.
The system is being promoted as mostly benign. Sattler said it will tell the government "where people are using Wi-Fi, what they're using Wi-Fi for, are they watching YouTube, etc. All these bits of information we can share with businesses. ... We can let businesses know, 'Hey, 80 percent of people actually use Instagram within this area of the city, between these hours.'"
The CCP's smart city Social Credit System is able to monitor each person in the society, tracking every element of their lives-including their friends, online purchases, daily behavior, and other information-and assigns each person a citizen score that determines their level of freedom in society.
The tool is a core piece of the CCP's programs to monitor and persecute dissidents, including religious believers and people who oppose the ruling communist system.
Chinese human rights lawyer Teng Biao, a visiting scholar at New York University, described the Social Credit System as a new form of tyranny, meant to reactivate the CCP's totalitarian hold on society.
"In the past, there was the Nazi totalitarianism and Mao Zedong's totalitarian system, but a totalitarian system powered by the internet and contemporary technology has not existed before," Teng said in a recent interview with The Epoch Times.
"The CCP is now taking the first step to build such a high-tech totalitarian system, by using credit ratings and monitoring and recording every detail in people's daily life, which is very frightening."
The regime also isn't interested in keeping the technology within its own borders.
It's exporting the system, and its "China model" of totalitarian government, as a service of its "One Belt, One Road" program. When the CCP builds its infrastructure abroad, its surveillance and social control programs are part of the package.
In Darwin, there has been a push to jump aboard the CCP's program. The local officials made a "friendship" deal with Yuexiu District, in Guangzhou, China, in 2018. According to John Garrick, a senior lecturer at Charles Darwin University, the deal was branded by Chinese media as "part of President Xi Jinping's signature Belt and Road Initiative."
That followed a previous deal between Darwin and the CCP, in which the city signed a 99-year lease of the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company and the CCP. The Chinese owner, Ye Cheng, had referred to the deal as being part of One Belt, One Road.
The deals also should raise concern for U.S. Marines stationed in Darwin,under the Obama-era pivot to the Pacific, about whether the CCP is able to monitor data collected on cell phones from its systems in the area. Under a 2011 deal between the United States and Australia, the U.S. troops will be there until 2040.
And of similar concern, the decision of Australia to begin implementing the CCP's programs for totalitarian social control represents a major development in the CCP's China model push.

This is the real patriot shit …putting privacy back to the way it was.
"That's the reason we're trying to prevent that now," said Hofer, who has filed suit against the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, the San Jose Police Department and others after he said he was pulled over last year and handcuffed, with guns pointed at him when a license plate reader mistakenly identified the rental car he was driving as stolen. "The genie's not out of the bottle yet."
But the ACLU, which also helped draft the ordinances, pointed out that deploying facial recognition would be easy enough.
"The raw materials for face surveillance - data such as mugshots and video feeds from CCTV and body cams - already exist," said Matt Cagle, technology and civil liberties attorney with the ACLU of Northern California. "With just a few lines of code, existing photo systems can be turned into dangerous dragnet surveillance networks."
The proposed ordinances come after high-profile examples of the pitfalls of facial recognition, including a report last year that Amazon's Rekognition software falsely matched the faces of members of Congress with mugshots of people who had been arrested.
The San Francisco Police Department, which said it doesn't use facial recognition, submitted amendments to the ordinance after talking with other city departments, community groups, neighborhood watch groups and businesses.
"(Our) mission must be judiciously balanced with the need to protect civil rights and civil liberties, including privacy and free expression," said David Stevenson, spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department. "We welcome safeguards to protect those rights while balancing the needs that protect the residents, visitors and businesses of San Francisco."
Lee Hepner, legislative aide to Peskin, said the supervisor's office incorporated some of the SFPD's requests into the ordinance. If it is approved in committee Monday, the full board will vote May 14.
"Over time, this will build a lot of trust among the community and the police," he said. "Hopefully in the end it will be a win-win."
San Francisco Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nancy Crowley said her department does not use facial recognition. She added that most of the agency's work is in non-public spaces, but that if the ordinance is passed "we will comply with the requirements that impact our work."
The Oakland Police Department did not return a request for comment.
Color of Change, a national nonprofit racial justice advocacy group founded in Oakland, supports both ordinances.
"This is an important moment for San Francisco," said Brandi Collins-Dexter, senior campaign director for the group. She said the city "is positioned to really protect its constituents" and could influence others around the nation.
In a letter urging supervisors to pass the ordinance, Color of Change expressed concern about "high-tech profiling." The group cited a 2009 incident in which multiple San Francisco police officers pointed their guns at a black woman who was pulled over based on mistaken information from a license plate reader that the car she was driving was stolen. The woman, Denise Green, a former Muni driver, settled her lawsuit against San Francisco in 2015 for $495,000.
Nowadays, Collins-Dexter said, police have access to "technologies the likes of which we've never seen."
AI experts in April urged Amazon to stop selling facial recognition software to law enforcement until safeguards and laws are put into place. (Its technology is now being tested by police in Oregon.) Amazon shareholders are scheduled to vote later this month on a shareholder resolution urging Amazon to stop selling Rekognition.
The companies that make the technologies have also called for limits and regulations: Microsoft late last year called for regulating Artificial Intelligence, and Amazon followed suit earlier this year.
In addition, the Partnership on AI - whose members include Facebook, Google, Amazon.com, Apple, Microsoft, IBM and academic researchers - last week said law enforcement should not use Artificial Intelligence algorithms to make decisions about jailing people.
Meanwhile, some Bay Area law enforcement agencies have been using predictive-policing technology, including Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley. Others, such as Mountain View and Palo Alto's police departments, tried such technology but decided not to continue its use.

AI-created video looks jaw-droppingly real
What the video depicts is a collection of humans that an AI-generated algorithm - courtesy of DataGrid, a startup based at Japan's Kyoto University - designed. The poses, the clothes, the different hairstyles, stances, everything - the AI just came up with it all, in a stunning bit of understanding about the humans who occupy the world around it.
According to a translation of the text that accompanies the video, the researchers used what's called a Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, to generate the high-resolution (1024×1024) images of nonexistent humans. It goes on to suggest that this kind of thing could be useful in a variety of ways, such as by creating virtual models for industries like advertising and fashion.
The GAN involves one Artificial neural network essentially trying to keep "fooling" another one, until the second one can no longer distinguish between (in this case) real human images versus computer-generated ones. Seeing this kind of thing for yourself, it's a reminder that we're definitely in for some strange times as deepfakes and the like begin to proliferate, with a video like this underscoring how adept AI is becoming at creating images of fake humans.

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday broke ground for Al-Qadir University here which he said will create future leaders to counter Islamophobia and protect ideology of Pakistan.
Addressing the ceremony, the prime minister said the university will teach the students the principles of State of Madina and Pakistan's ideology as envisioned by Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam. He said the concept of establishment of a university in Sohawa is to provide equal quality education to the youth across the country.
To be built at an area of 200 kanals, the institution will consist of a Sufi Academic Block with capacity of 800 students, Science Block for 700 students, hostel for 200 boys and girls, an auditorium and a library.
The prime minister said it is a private university that will be run on donations by philanthropists contributing in national cause to broaden the educational base. He said 35 percent of the students will be given scholarships and get free education while rest 65 percent will fund their studies by themselves.
He said besides teaching contemporary sciences like Artificial Intelligence and technology, the main focus of the university will be research on Sufism and its connection with Islam. "We have to groom our youth as leaders.We will create scholars who will respond to the anti-Islam tirade started after 9/11," he said, adding that Chinese assistance will also be sought for teaching and research on technology-related subjects.
The prime minister said the university has been named after Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani who happened to be a top Sufi and had also established link between Islam and spirituality. He said Sufism is a great science but contrary to western world, no university in Pakistan is holding research on the subject.
He said the previous leaders had buried the ideology of Pakistan which was meant to make the country an Islamic welfare state. He said the nations ignoring their ideology cannot exist. "Nations face ups and downs but they should not give up their ideology," he said, adding that Naya Pakistan will feature meritocracy, justice and education, minority rights on the pattern of State of Madina.
He said what had been happening in Pakistan was never in accordance of an Islamic welfare state. He recalled that besides India's role, the injustices to the people also contributed to the disintegration of the country…….

MOAR DEEPFAKE DROPS - THE HUMANS IN THIS AI-CREATED VIDEO LOOK JAW-DROPPINGLY "REAL"
For all the scary talk about what nefarious deeds AI will be capable of one day, a geeky fight that tends to spark debate about whether the technology is a net positive or could eventually bring about the destruction of humanity, there's at least one observable skill that AI is increasingly mastering right now - a skill that AI is starting to actually get so good at it may even shock you.
Play the video at the top of this post, and you'll see.
What the video above depicts is a collection of humans that an AI-generated algorithm - courtesy of DataGrid, a startup based at Japan's Kyoto University - designed. The poses, the clothes, the different hairstyles, stances, everything - the AI just came up with it all, in a stunning bit of understanding about the humans who occupy the world around it.
According to a translation of the text that accompanies the video, the researchers used what's called a Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, to generate the high-resolution (1024×1024) images of nonexistent humans. It goes on to suggest that this kind of thing could be useful in a variety of ways, such as by creating virtual models for industries like advertising and fashion.
The GAN involves one Artificial neural network essentially trying to keep "fooling" another one, until the second one can no longer distinguish between (in this case) real human images versus computer-generated ones. Seeing this kind of thing for yourself, it's a reminder that we're definitely in for some strange times as deepfakes and the like begin to proliferate, with a video like this underscoring how adept AI is becoming at creating images of fake humans.
To see a different version of this same thing in action, check out the website ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com, which we've reported on previously. It's the same concept as the video above, except in the case of that website, you just keep hitting refresh and you'll be greeted by the image of an insanely real looking human that was in fact created by an AI and doesn't exist.
This technology is impressive, but at the same time it also seems to herald something that humanity still has not fully come to grips with yet. It's only a matter of time before AI masters the creation of fake human speech and other things that, along with the images, can be integrated into a full package and really give us a hard time with separating fact from fiction. Maybe someone will develop an AI one day that masters the art of fighting disinfo and ferreting out fake news. We can only hope.

Darwin, Australia Adopts China's Tech for Total Social Control
TN has warned that China intends to aggressively export its draconian social control system. It has found an unlikely sale in Australia, which is as unlikely as the U.S. to follow China's lead toward Technocracy. China is marketing in the U.S. as well. ? TN Editor
Australia is preparing to debut its version of the Chinese regime's high-tech system for monitoring and controlling its citizens. The launch, to take place in the northern city of Darwin, will include systems to monitor people's activity via their cell phones.
The new system is based on monitoring programs in Shenzhen, China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is testing its Social Credit System. Officials on the Darwin council traveled to Shenzhen, according to NT News, to "have a chance to see exactly how their Smart Technology works prior to being fully rolled out."
In Darwin, they've already constructed "poles, fitted with speakers, cameras and Wi-Fi," according to NT News, to monitor people, their movements around the city, the websites they visit, and what apps they use. The monitoring will be done mainly by Artificial Intelligence, but will alert authorities based on set triggers.
Just as in China, the surveillance system is being branded as a "smart city" program, and while Australian officials claim its operations are benign, they've announced it functions to monitor cell phone activity and "virtual fences" that will trigger alerts if people cross them.
"We'll be getting sent an alarm saying, 'There's a person in this area that you've put a virtual fence around.' ... Boom, an alert goes out to whatever authority, whether it's us or police to say 'look at camera five,'" said Josh Sattler, the Darwin council's general manager for innovation, growth, and development services, according to NT News.
The nature of the "virtual fences" and what type of activity will sound an alarm still isn't being made clear.
The system is being promoted as mostly benign. Sattler said it will tell the government "where people are using Wi-Fi, what they're using Wi-Fi for, are they watching YouTube, etc. All these bits of information we can share with businesses. ... We can let businesses know, 'Hey, 80 percent of people actually use Instagram within this area of the city, between these hours.'"
The CCP's smart city Social Credit System is able to monitor each person in the society, tracking every element of their lives-including their friends, online purchases, daily behavior, and other information-and assigns each person a citizen score that determines their level of freedom in society.
The tool is a core piece of the CCP's programs to monitor and persecute dissidents, including religious believers and people who oppose the ruling communist system.
Chinese human rights lawyer Teng Biao, a visiting scholar at New York University, described the Social Credit System as a new form of tyranny, meant to reactivate the CCP's totalitarian hold on society.
"In the past, there was the Nazi totalitarianism and Mao Zedong's totalitarian system, but a totalitarian system powered by the internet and contemporary technology has not existed before," Teng said in a recent interview with The Epoch Times.
"The CCP is now taking the first step to build such a high-tech totalitarian system, by using credit ratings and monitoring and recording every detail in people's daily life, which is very frightening."
The regime also isn't interested in keeping the technology within its own borders. It's exporting the system, and its "China model" of totalitarian government, as a service of its "One Belt, One Road" program. When the CCP builds its infrastructure abroad, its surveillance and social control programs are part of the package.

Facebook 'labels' posts by hand, posing privacy questions
HYDERABAD, India/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Over the past year, a team of as many as 260 contract workers in Hyderabad, India has ploughed through millions of Facebook Inc photos, status updates and other content posted since 2014.
The workers categorize items according to five "dimensions," as Facebook calls them.
These include the subject of the post - is it food, for example, or a selfie or an animal? What is the occasion - an everyday activity or major life event? And what is the author's intention - to plan an event, to inspire, to make a joke?
The work is aimed at understanding how the types of things users post on its services are changing, Facebook said. That can help the company develop new features, potentially increasing usage and ad revenue.
Details of the effort were provided by multiple employees at outsourcing firm Wipro Ltd over several months. The workers spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation by the Indian firm. Facebook later confirmed many details of the project. Wipro declined to comment and referred all questions to Facebook.
The Wipro work is among about 200 content labeling projects that Facebook has at any time, employing thousands of people globally, company officials told Reuters. Many projects are aimed at "training" the software that determines what appears in users' news feeds and powers the Artificial Intelligence underlying many other features.
The labeling efforts have not previously been reported.
"It's a core part of what you need," said Nipun Mathur, the director of product management for AI at Facebook. "I don't see the need going away."
The content labeling program could raise new privacy issues for Facebook, according to legal experts consulted by Reuters. The company is facing regulatory investigations worldwide over an unrelated set of alleged privacy abuses involving the sharing of user data with business partners.
The Wipro workers said they gain a window into lives as they view a vacation photo or a post memorializing a deceased family member. Facebook acknowledged that some posts, including screenshots and those with comments, may include user names.
The company said its legal and privacy teams must sign off on all labeling efforts, adding that it recently introduced an auditing system "to ensure that privacy expectations are being followed and parameters in place are working as expected."
But one former Facebook privacy manager, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed unease about users' posts being scrutinized without their explicit permission. The European Union's year-old General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has strict rules about how companies gather and use personal data and in many cases requires specific consent.
"One of the key pieces of GDPR is purpose limitation," said John Kennedy, a partner at law firm Wiggin and Dana who has worked on outsourcing, privacy and AI.
If the purpose is looking at posts to improve the precision of services, that should be stated explicitly, Kennedy said. Using an outside vendor for the work could also require consent, he said.
It remains unclear exactly how GDPR will be interpreted and whether regulators and consumers would see Facebook's internal labeling practices as problematic. Europe's top data privacy official declined to comment on possible concerns.
A Facebook spokeswoman said: "We make it clear in our data policy that we use the information people provide to Facebook to improve their experience and that we might work with service providers to help in this process."

Multi-State Child Exploitation Operation Busted; 82 Arrested, 17 Children Rescued
An investigation into the possession and distribution of child pornography covering eight southeastern U.S. states culminated in the arrest of 82 people and the rescue of 17 child victims, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). The four-month-long investigation, dubbed "Operation Southern Impact III," resulted in three days of investigative actions including "search warrant executions, undercover operations, arrests, and sex offender compliance verification visits." In total, 171 law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies were involved. The ages of those arrested range from 20 to 70, the GBI said May 3. Occupations of arrestees included a "non-profit employee, small business owner, store clerk, mechanic, daycare administrator, youth group leader, former high school band director, freelance photographer, construction worker, and painter."
As part of the operation, 861 digital devices were previewed and 1,613 digital devices were seized. Included among those devices were 203 mobile phones. The investigation stemmed from cyber tips received from the ICAC Task Force of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. In Georgia alone, 31 people were arrested, mostly for the possession or distribution of child pornography. Investigators said they targeted those distributing "the most violent sexual abuse material involving infants and toddlers" which the bureau itself noted, "is not uncommon." "The Georgia ICAC Task Force consistently finds this type of content," the release stated.
Of those arrested in Georgia, seven traveled for the goal of meeting and having sex with a minor. Investigators say predators often visit chat rooms and sites on the internet to arrange such meetings. The arrested perpetrators targeted both boys and girls. Four of those arrested in Georgia were registered sex offenders. One offender previously had been arrested during a similar operation in 2015. "The dedicated law enforcement professionals that are part of the Georgia ICAC Task Force will not cease searching for those who are producing, trading and collecting this graphic material," Debbie Garner, special agent in charge of the GBI's Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit said. "We will continue to work together to find, investigate and prosecute these predators." Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr also praised the efforts of those behind the operation.
''
In April 2018, President Donald Trump signed into law a bill dubbed the "Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017." The act makes it easier to take legal action against individuals who use websites to facilitate sex trafficking, while also aiding victims to fight back against websites that profit from their exploitation. In the same month, sex-trafficking website Backpage.com-the largest human-trafficking portal in the United States-was taken down by the FBI. Trump has made combating human trafficking a focal point of his administration. A report shared with The Epoch Times last month found the demand for online sex-trafficking dropped following the shutdown of Backpage, as the operators of smaller sites struggled to stay afloat. The report by Childsafe.ai-the world's first Artificial Intelligence platform for monitoring, graphing, and modeling child-exploitation risk on the web-detailed how the industry has since been fragmented across dozens of websites, all competing fiercely for market share. Web traffic to advertising websites selling sex drew only 5 to 8 percent of the total unique visitors that Backpage drew at its height in 2016.

"Don't be evil" Google engages in "systematic" retaliation against anyone who dares criticize the company
Time and again, tech giant Google is proving that it is less a company than an all-powerful entity managed by psychopaths, narcissists, and lunatics bent on global domination.
At a gathering last week, hundreds of Google staff members met to discuss something they claim is happening more frequently than ever: Company retaliation for criticism.
As Bloomberg reported Friday:
Two leaders of recent company protests said they've been mistreated by managers and collected similar stories from other workers at the world's largest internet company. The claims of retaliation are the latest in a series of internal upheavals over issues ranging from the use of Artificial Intelligence for military purposes to executive misconduct and the rights of contract workers.
Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., once set an industry standard in Silicon Valley for being able to employ and then keep highly-skilled computer scientists. But in recent years, the company has suffered blemishes to its reputation - since it's become a Left-wing censorship machine aimed at muting conservative staffers and voices online, and has adopted an increasingly dictatorial management style.
In internal surveys, for example, employees say they are losing faith in Google's senior leadership, as scores of coders refused to work on a Pentagon project last year (think Trump hate) and some resigned in protest, Bloomberg reported.
Then, last November, a number of Google staffers staged a walkout because of payouts given to executives who faced allegations of sexual assault.

Pentagon warns on risk of Chinese submarines in Arctic
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Deepening Chinese activities in the Arctic region could pave the way for a strengthened military presence, including the deployment of submarines to act as deterrents against nuclear attack, the Pentagon said in a report released on Thursday.
The assessment is included in the U.S. military's annual report to Congress on China's armed forces and follows Beijing's publication of its first official Arctic policy white paper in June.
In that paper, China outlined plans to develop shipping lanes opened up by global warming to form a "Polar Silk Road" - building on President Xi Jinping's signature Belt and Road Initiative.
China, despite being a non-Arctic state, is increasingly active in the polar region and became an observer member of the Arctic Council in 2013. That has prompted concerns from Arctic states over Beijing's long-term strategic objectives, including possible military deployments.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will attend the meeting of the eight-nation Arctic Council in Rovaniemi, Finland, starting on Monday, which comes amid concerns over China's increased commercial interests in the Arctic.
SECOND SOURCE INFO
China is becoming a rising power not only in consumer technology and Artificial Intelligence but also in Arctic military operations and nuclear submarine construction, according to a new report from the Pentagon.
"Arctic border countries have raised concerns about China's expanding capabilities and interest in the region," notes the report, "Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China 2019," published today. Often called the "China Military Power" report, it's required annually by Congress. This year, it highlights the country's prowess in the Arctic. In 2018, China completed its ninth Arctic expedition last year, published its first Arctic strategy document, and launched its second icebreaker, the Xuelong 2. The ship, capable of breaking 1.5 meters of ice, is the first polar research vessel that "can break ice while moving forwards or backwards," according to the report.
The warming Arctic might also cool, or at least complicate, Beijing's budding friendship with Moscow.

Microsoft rolls out new cloud services for AI and blockchain
(Reuters) - Microsoft Corp on Thursday announced new tools for software makers aimed at making technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and blockchain easier for businesses to use.
Microsoft released the tools ahead of its software developer conference next week in Seattle. Once known mostly for its Windows personal computer operating system, the company now relies on revenue growth from its cloud-based computing and software services, most of which are sold to other businesses.
While Microsoft still trails the cloud computing leader Amazon.com Inc's Amazon Web Services in revenue, it has taken a different approach to the market, designing many of its services to be run in either Microsoft's Azure data centers, its customers private data centers, or a combination of the two.
Amazon, by contrast, at first asked customers move their data to its own servers, though it too has in recent years moved toward Microsoft's "hybrid" approach.
One new service from Microsoft helps online retailers recommend products based on shopping history and can be combined with a retailer's existing recommendation engine, said Scott Guthrie, Microsoft's cloud and Artificial Intelligence chief.
"They're using ours in addition to the existing system they had and seeing some tremendous wins in terms of productivity as part of it," Guthrie said. "I don't think it's going to be necessarily always a winner takes all."
Microsoft is also releasing tools to let users make Artificial Intelligence models without having to write the underlying code. Those models can then be "trained" using the business owner's data in Microsoft's cloud.
The company is also introducing a cloud-based blockchain service. The block chain, a ledger for keeping track of transactions among many participants, is used in the financial technology space, and Microsoft said it is working with JP Morgan Chase & Co on the bank's Quorum offering.
But Microsoft's Guthrie said blockchain has other uses, such as the system Microsoft helped Starbucks Corp build to track the coffee as it moves from farms to stores to a customer's cup.
"That enables them, from a quality control perspective, to dramatically improve the end-to-end supply chain and deliver a better product," Guthrie said.
Microsoft also said it is releasing a developer edition of its HoloLens 2 headset that was announced earlier this year. The device, which overlays digital information on the real world, will cost $3,500 and is aimed businesses uses like safety training and complex repair work.

"I agree with candidate Andrew Yang that robots and Artificial Intelligence will put nearly everyone out of work except females with Instagram followers from Dubai. I will implement a Male Basic Income (MBI) plan where a bag of $2,000 is given every month to all citizens over 18 years of age who were born with a penis. Males can use their bags to enjoy the last decades of Western civilization and also to prep for inevitable societal collapse.
Women will not get this bag because they are already "strong and independent" and don't need further state assistance. They are correct that men have "fragile masculinity," so we're taking the entire bag. If women want Roosh Bucks, they have to submit to a man and allow him to spend his bag on her. Otherwise, they can work in an office with moldy air conditioning for the rest of their lives. Roosh Bucks helps give men a solid edge in household income, allowing them to be patriarchs once again. No woman comes to Roosh Bucks except through men.
Sodomites will not receive Roosh Bucks, though they are eligible to receive free diseases from their anal-obsessed lifestyle. Facial recognition software will identify all sodomites through recordings of gay pride marches and other classified sources. Heterosexuality will be financially enforced by the state.

Facial recognition technology works even when only half a face is visible, researchers from the University of Bradford have found.
Using Artificial Intelligence techniques, the team achieved 100 per cent recognition rates for both three-quarter and half faces. The study, published in Future Generation Computer Systems, is the first to use machine learning to test the recognition rates for different parts of the face.
Lead researcher, Professor Hassan Ugail from the University of Bradford said: "The ability humans have to recognise faces is amazing, but research has shown it starts to falter when we can only see parts of a face. Computers can already perform better than humans in recognising one face from a large number, so we wanted to see if they would be better at partial facial recognition as well."
The team used a machine learning technique known as a 'convolutional neural network', drawing on a feature extraction model called VGG – one of the most popular and widely used for facial recognition.
They worked with a dataset containing multiple photos – 2800 in total – of 200 students and staff from FEI University in Brazil, with equal numbers of men and women.
For the first experiment, the team trained the model using only full facial images They then ran an experiment to see how well the computer was able to recognise faces, even when shown only part of them. The computer recognised full faces 100 per cent of the time, but the team also had 100% success with three-quarter faces and with the top or right half of the face. However, the bottom half of the face was only correctly recognised 60 per cent of the time and eyes and nose on their own, just 40 per cent.
They then ran the experiment again, after training the model using partial facial images as well. This time, the scores significantly improved for the bottom half of the face, for eyes and nose on their own and even for faces with no eyes and nose visible, achieving around 90% correct identification.
Individual facial parts, such as the nose, cheek, forehead or mouth had low recognition rates in both experiments.
The results are promising, according to Professor Hassan:
"We've now shown that it's possible to have very accurate facial recognition from images that only show part of a face and we've identified which parts are most useful. This opens up greater possibilities for the use of the technology for security or crime prevention.

Regionalism: Smart Region Initiatives Overrule City Councils
Utility companies are wedging their way into regional governance to facilitate the installation and implementation of smart city technology throughout a region. Note the article states "co-lead", which means they are not the main driver of regionalization. ? TN Editor
Thanks to their scale and infrastructure, electric utilities can play a central role in creating smart regions, and reap the benefits.
The emergence of next-generation technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, and data science, are poised to transform today's cities into advanced smart cities. Electric utility companies, with their critical infrastructure and essential services, are well positioned to co-lead this transformation.
While smart cities represent a major business opportunity for utility companies, "smart regions" are a more significant opportunity.
Smart cities employ advanced digital technologies and data science to solve problems and create new outcomes for its residents, businesses and visitors. However, some challenges are too complex and beyond the scope and capability of any one city and county to solve. These include traffic and mobility, air quality management, and resilience to natural and manmade hazards. A regional approach, combined with innovative digital technologies and data science, will create large-scale impacts that were not possible before.
Utilities are ideal smart region builders. They operate in and service large geographic regions that span multiple counties and hundreds of cities. They have deep customer knowledge and established relationships with every city and county in the region. They have infrastructure, personnel and facilities throughout the region. More importantly, some of that existing infrastructure, such as distribution poles, streetlights and AMI networks, are ideal platforms to build new smart services quickly and economically.
While cities and counties think in terms of their own needs, utility companies already bring a more regional focus and execution capability. Their organizations, operational processes, policies and systems are built to support the diverse needs of the smallest cities to the largest metropolitan areas

Former Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt says Silicon Valley will form 'AI principles' for working with the government
As Google employees fret about becoming engaged in "the business of war," Alphabet board member Eric Schmidt thinks the tech industry will likely form a shared set of "AI-principles" to guide how Silicon Valley works with the Department of Defense.
Schmidt, chairman of the Department of Defense's Innovation Board, spoke before a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. He was responding to a question about how to overcome hesitance from the private sector about working with the department on Artificial Intelligence projects.
Since Google revealed in March that it had partnered with the DOD to develop AI to analyze and interpret drone videos, more than 3,000 employees signed a letter urging Google CEO Sundar Pichai to pull out of the initiative, called "Project Maven." Although Google publicly said that the project was scoped for "non-offensive purposes," employees worried that once the technology was built, the military could use it to help launch weapons.

Sex robot brothel opens in Japan
A sex robot brothel has opened in Japan and is set to introduce male sex dolls following a surge in men wanting bisexualthreesomes.
Boss Sergi Prieto wanted to offer customers a chance to carry out their "wildest fantasies" and launched the LumiDolls venue in the city of Nagoya.
It follows previous openings at spots including Russia, Spain, and Italy.
The new location boasts on the website "live the futuristic sex with the hottest Asian Lumidolls".
It offers a three hour session for ¥36000 (£250) and a one hour session for ¥13000 (£90).
The website adds: "For the first time, Lumidolls is in Nagoya! Lumidolls bring the worlds first hyper-realistic sex doll brothel.
"Futuristic sex can be experimented right now. Live the most fantastic date with your favorite anime character.
"Make your erotic dreams come true and spend an unforgettable eve with one or more Lumidolls. You will be charmed."
Punters can chose what the dolls will be wearing during the romp. Options include basic lingerie, schoolgirl outfit, fitness gear or 'executive woman'.
They also accept 'special requests' and so far have four dolls on offer, including Erika who boasts an E-cup breast size.
Speaking of the decision to introduce male sex dolls, boss Prieto told Daily Star Online: "We have recently attended to several clients who request an appointment with male dolls and female dolls at the same time.
"Probably bisexual, or heterosexual, who want to experience anal sex without interacting directly with a man of flesh and blood."
Speaking of the Japan venue, he added: "The service will be developed in an hotel where customers will be able to choose between 4 different models, initially.
"At the moment the influx of customers is similar to the initial, depending on the time of year.
"We believe that influx will increase when the technological improvements will be remarkable and we can offer these new models to our clients."
Pictures from inside the venue give a glimpse into where customers will get intimate with the dolls. The snaps show rooms with red lights and leather beds complete with a sofa and TV.
Prieto continued: "For the moment in LumiDolls, we continue to use sex dolls without additional functionalities.
"In the market there are some advances as well as sex dolls with facial movements and Artificial Intelligence.
"But at the moment we do not contemplate introducing them into our brothels due to their high price and their low realism, and these functionalities need more improvements.
"Still more time is needed for prices to begin to fall and be much more accessible.
"I think that technological advances in this sector have to be looked at in the medium-long term since they require very advanced technology and mechanics.
"In 2019 we do not believe that new functionalities will appear but that those that already exist will be improved - Artificial Intelligence, facial movements etc."

The benefits of having a fuck-off fund
The idea that it's sometimes necessary to quit your job on ethical grounds is well-established in contemporary culture. In 2015, Greg Smith walked away from an executive-director-level role at Goldman Sachs. "To put the problem in the simplest terms, the interests of the client continue to be sidelined in the way the firm operates and thinks about making money," he wrote in a New York Times op-ed announcing his resignation. In 2018, Gizmodo reported that roughly a dozen Google employees were leaving the company over objections to its Artificial-Intelligence contract with the Pentagon. And earlier this year, actress Emma Thompson resigned from the Skydance Media's forthcoming film Luck after the studio hired John Lasseter, a Pixar co-founder who had been accused of decades of sexual misconduct.
But the ability to quit your job on principle is, in itself, a privilege. In a country like the US, where 78% of workers live paycheck to paycheck, most people can't afford to walk away from gainful employment, no matter what their ethical compunctions. That's where the appeal of building up a fuck-off fund comes in.
Building up a pile of savings, as Paulette Perhach explains in the viral essay that first coined the term, means that you can afford to walk away from any number of bad situations-a toxic relationship, a nightmare roommate, an abusive boss.
This week, a wave of resignations from a new digital-media outlet called The Markup served as a reminder of yet another reason that fuck-off funds come in handy. Not only do they give you the means to stand up for yourself financially, they enable you to stand up for your principles, too.
At least five of The Markup's seven staff writers resigned from the company in protest of the surprise ouster of its co-founder and editor-in-chief, Julia Angwin. While there are conflicting versions of the circumstances surrounding Angwin's departure, it was immediately clear that much of the site's editorial staff was unwilling to work at The Markup without her.
At issue was the workers' loyalty to Angwin herself as well as concerns that her departure revealed a troubling glimpse into The Markup's future direction and ideals. Data journalist Surya Mattu tweeted of his decision to quit, "I am so proud of the work we all have done and heartbroken that I wont see it to completion. But @JuliaAngwin is the reason I call myself a data journalist and I cant get myself to work for the organization that doesn't see her value." Other reporters similarly expressed their faith in Angwin; "@JuliaAngwin is the reason I joined, and her ouster is the reason I am leaving," said Lauren Kirchner.
Another journalist who recently took a stand by leaving a job is Maya Kosoff, who in January quit as a writer for the reboot of the website Gawker after working there for just 20 days. Kosoff and a colleague, Anna Breslaw, waived a severance package that came with a non-disparagement agreement so they could speak publicly about their reasons for quitting. Those reasons centered on offensive comments allegedly made by their boss-"about everything from poor people to black writers to her acquaintance's penis size," as Maxwell Tani writes in The Daily Beast-and human resources' failure to address their concerns.
Kosoff says she didn't have much of a fuck-off fund when she quit-but she certainly wishes she had. "Obviously I had financial concerns about leaving," she says. "I had a little bit of savings, but it wasn't going to sustain me for very long."
Even so, her ethical concerns won out. And she realized that in the long run, staying at a job where she had deep concerns about management practices could hurt her career-and her financial stability-even more than leaving would. "The longer I stayed there, the less I could justify working there, and the harder it might be to get a job down the line if the work I was doing there wasn't work I wasn't particularly proud of," she says.
Kosoff acknowledges that there are plenty of people who wouldn't be able to make a similar choice. "I wouldn't blame anybody for not doing it," she says. "I recognize the immense privilege that it takes to walk away."

ARMY WAR COLLEGE: Theater commanders around the world want weapons they can see and use right now, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs told the Army War College. It's a lot harder, Gen. Joseph Dunford said, to sell experienced senior officers on an untested and intangible capability like Artificial Intelligence.
The immediate objective: come up with ways to mimic the effects of an AI so the school's in-house game designers could turn it into either a computer simulation or a table-top exercise within 10 months - without new money. The hope is that the 2020 game, in turn, will intrigue Army leadership enough that they'll support a larger, longer-term AI effort.
The most famous case is the Naval War College in the 1920s and 1930s, which ran more than 100 games exploring a possible war with Japan, often with officers moving miniature ships around a tiled floor used as a giant gameboard. Admiral Nimitz famously said that these games explored so many different technologies and strategies that "nothing that happened during the [actual] war was a surprise... except the kamikaze tactics."
If you can actually write or modify a computer wargame, instead of doing a pure tabletop exercise, your options get more sophisticated and fiendish. You can put each player at a different screen and manipulate how much information they get, how quickly, and how accurate it is. You can cut off in-game messaging between players to simulate radio jamming, or send false messages to simulate their network getting hacked. You can use crowdsourcing to simulate an AI's ability to generate a wider range of strategies. The non-AI players can only brainstorm among themselves, but the team simulating the AI can post the game board on the Internet and get hundreds of suggestions for its next move.

Twitter recruits users in battle against election manipulation
Twitter is adding a feature that will help users identify misleading election content as the 2020 presidential campaign heats up in the U.S. The tool will let Twitter users flag tweets containing inaccurate information about how to vote or register to vote, voting requirements, and the dates or times of elections, the San Francisco-based company said Wednesday. "Voting is a fundamental human right, and the public conversation occurring on Twitter is never more important than during elections," the company said. "Any attempts to undermine the process of registering to vote or engaging in the electoral process is contrary to our company's core values."
Twitter was among the social media platforms, along with Facebook and YouTube, used by Russian actors to spread divisive and erroneous messages to influence the 2016 presidential election. Since the Intelligence community revealed the extent of Russia's interference and the role social media companies played, they have been under pressure to enact safeguards. Facebook responded by displaying the identity and location of advertisers last year, a move intended to help users discern partisan or ulterior motives and assess credibility, and has focused on implementing Artificial Intelligence capabilities that take down fake accounts.
The new reporting tool from Twitter became available in India on Thursday in time for the general election there, which runs through May 19, and will be operational in the European Union on Monday, before its parliamentary elections in May. Twitter plans to roll the tool out globally through the remainder of the year.
In addition to criticism about Kremlin manipulation, social media companies have come under fire for their efforts to remove hate speech and misinformation. President Trump and conservatives have accused the firms, many based in Democratic-leaning Silicon Valley, of using content management as an excuse for censoring conservative voices. Trump, who is particularly active on Twitter with nearly 60 million followers, met with its CEO Jack Dorsey on Tuesday, before which he accused the company of treating him poorly "as a Republican" and playing "political games." During the meeting, the president said he and Dorsey discussed "lots of subjects" regarding Twitter and "the world of social media in general."

Navy Warfare Centers Harnessing Data to Expand the Advantage and Dominate the Threat.
By Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona Public Affairs
NORCO, Calif. - In data science, one of the biggest hurdles to achieving a goal is identifying and sharing pertinent data.
In 2017, Hovanes Keseyan was only the second NSWC Corona employee to earn his specialized master's degree in data science from the University of California, Riverside. Soon after, he attended a Naval Application of Machine Learning workshop and discovered others from the Navy and academia who wanted to implement new technologies he'd learned about. Many questions arose about the data that fuels them: Where does the data reside? Who owns it? How can we access it? Do we have enough?
The search for answers quickly developed into a research and development project under Keseyan's tutelage: Universal Hub for Big Data, a mega project to catalog, combine and share Navy research, development, test and evaluation data across the enterprise in a manner scalable across the Defense Department and other data repositories. The data hub idea caught the attention of NSWC Corona Chief Technology Officer Taylor Cole, who shepherded it through the Navy Innovative Science and Engineering funding application process. The project has rapidly gained traction across the Navy, particularly as Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Bill Moran has emphasized the need to harness data and data analytics to not only enhance the decisions made for the warfighter, but to gain a digital edge over competitors.
With funding from multiple Navy programs, Keseyan and his working group have catalogued data from 13 warfare centers across four systems commands so far: Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command. In June, Keseyan's group aims to have a test version of the web interface, and potential users can apply to become testers and gain access. The group will seek additional data sets - 15 per command - to reach close to 200 data sets by the end of the fiscal year. The next step is integrating that data.
"There's still a lot of work to be done," he continued. "Here at NSWC Corona, we want to make sure this work is done properly so everyone can start playing in the new data science capability.
"Others are interested in bringing in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence into their processes," Keseyan said, "and they also want to marry that with augmented reality, virtual reality and Live Virtual Constructive environments. So there's this intersection of these new technology fields and we're laying the foundation to have these conversations. We want to remove those barriers and let the scientists do what they're excited to do."
NSWC Corona's commanding officer said he wants to champion the project because of its critical importance to advance the Navy and NAVSEA strategic goals.
"Universal Hub is a great example of how the warfare centers are leveraging a talented and empowered workforce to utilize high velocity learning to accelerate warfighting decisions across the Navy," said Capt. Rick Braunbeck. "This project will help the Navy make every dollar count to drive lethality and improve readiness across the fleet."
NSWC Corona, a field activity of Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Command, is headquartered in Norco, Calif., and has a workforce of more than 3,300 scientists, engineers, contractors and support staff and annual business of more than $450 million each year. The command leads the Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation process responsible for gauging the warfighting capability of Navy ships and aircraft for performance, readiness, quality, and supportability throughout the entire life cycle.

Apple CEO Tim Cook: Big Tech Needs to Be Regulated
Apple CEO Tim Cook argued this week that the big tech Masters of the Universe need to be regulated by the government to protect user privacy. In an interview this week at the TIME 100 Summit in New York, Apple CEO Tim Cook called for more regulation on the technology industry. "We all have to be intellectually honest, and we have to admit that what we're doing isn't working," Cook said during the event. "Technology needs to be regulated. There are now too many examples where the no rails have resulted in a great damage to society."
Cook spoke in depth about some of the negative impacts of technology on society. He claimed that is not Apple's goal is to ensure that their users are using their Apple devices as much as possible. "Apple never wanted to maximize user time," Cook argued. "We've never been about that. We're not motivated to do that from a business point of view, and we're certainly not motivated from a values point of view." Speaking directly about the impact that smartphones have had on users' social lives, Cook said that too much time on a smartphone is a bad thing. "If you're looking at a phone more than someone's eyes, you're doing the wrong thing," Cook added.
Breitbart News reported in 2017 that Cook had been criticized over his refusal to condemn China for their censorship of the Internet. "Cook's appearance lends credibility to a state that aggressively censors the internet, throws people in jail for being critical about social ills, and is building Artificial Intelligence systems that monitors everyone and targets dissent," an analyst from Human Rights Watch wrote at the time. "The version of cyberspace the Chinese government is building is a decidedly dystopian one, and I don't think anyone would want to share in this 'common future.' Apple should have spoken out against it, not endorsed it."

Facebook says head-cam Christchurch video foiled its AI system
Facebook said it struggled to identify the video of the Christchurch mosque shootings because of the use of a head-mounted camera by the gunman, which made it harder for its systems to automatically detect the nature of the video.
"This was a first-person shooter video, one where we have someone using a GoPro helmet with a camera focused from their perspective of shooting," Neil Potts, Facebook's public policy director, told British MPs today.
Terror footage from a first-person perspective "was a type of video we had not seen before," he added.
Because of the nature of the video, Facebook's Artificial Intelligence - used to detect and prioritise videos that are likely to contain suicidal or harmful acts - did not work.
Potts was giving evidence to a committee of senior MPs in the UK as part of a parliamentary inquiry into hate crime. Representatives for Twitter, Google and YouTube also gave evidence.
Social media platforms, such as Facebook, have been facing scrutiny after the shooter accused of killing dozens of people in two mosques in Christchurch live-streamed the murders over the internet.
The social media company came under sharp criticism for not taking the video down fast enough and for letting it be circulated and uploaded to other platforms like YouTube.
At congressional hearings in the US over the past two years, executives from Facebook and YouTube said they were investing heavily in Artificial Intelligence that would be able to find and block violent and graphic videos before anyone saw them.
In a blog post following the attack, Facebook said that its AI systems are based on using many thousands of examples of content to train a system to detect certain types of text, imagery or video.
Potts was also chastised by the committee's chair, the Labour party's Yvette Cooper, for not knowing the senior officer in charge of counter terrorism policing in the UK, Neil Basu.
"We've been told by the counter terrorism chief that social companies don't report to the police incidents that clearly are breaking the law," Cooper told Potts. "You may remove it, but you don't report it."

Kushner: Americans' Wages Are Donald Trump's Top Immigration Priority
President Donald Trump's first priority in immigration policy is protecting Americans' wages, Jared Kushner told an audience at the #Time100 summit today.
"We have a lot of objectives ... Number one, he wants to protect American wages," Kushner said as he briefly described an immigration reform plan which he will present to the president in the next two weeks.
Kushner's tied Trump top-level support for Americans' wages to Trump's other policies that help American investors and CEOs also reach their objectives:
We freed up companies to be able to invest capital, which is creating jobs - we've lowered the corporate tax rate and we've given a tax cut to individuals, which means there is more consumption. We're working on trade deals ... We've figured how to make our country energy independent. We've increased the amount of energy we are creating which geopolitically is very important. We're investing in the industries of the future - Artificial Intelligence, 5G, quantum computing- a lot of things that allow us to be long-term competitive. And then also appointing a lot of conservative judges has allowed us and a lot of businesses to have certainty on what the law is, and so those things, if you couple them with maybe infrastructure [spending] and then immigration reform, I think that will keep out country competitive for the long run.
Kushner's strategic combination of wages and competitiveness could be the political bargain which preserves the GOP coalition amid chaotic diversity, alienated young voters, and global competition for jobs.
That GOP coalition was broken by the high-immigration/low-wages policies which were pushed by the two prior establishment presidents. For example, those policies impoverished millions of Americans while boosting the GOP's establishment, so causing the 2016 defeat of the GOP's establishment candidates by voters who backed New York populist Donald Trump.
In 2018, Americans' wages rose by roughly four percent, even as companies earned a rising sale, profits, and stock market values.

Artificial Intelligence used to diagnose PTSD by analyzing veterans' voices
Researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in war veterans by analyzing the rhythm and tone of their voices.
The study, published Monday, found that the AI tool can distinguish between the voices of those with or without PTSD with 89 per cent accuracy.
Researchers gathered speech samples from 53 U.S. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with military-service-related PTSD, as well as those of 78 veterans without the mental health condition.
In January, researchers with Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University combined brain imaging and machine learning to diagnose PTSD with 92 per cent accuracy.
Veterans Affairs Canada estimates that up to 10 per cent of war zone veterans-including peacekeeping forces-will develop PTSD.
However, figures released Monday reveal that the number of Afghanistan war veterans receiving federal support for mental-health conditions nearly doubled between over the last four years.
The figures, obtained from Veterans Affairs Canada by the Canadian Press through access to information requests, show more than 6,700 military members who served in Afghanistan were receiving disability benefits for mental-health conditions in March 2018, the vast majority of which were struggling with PTSD.

Simultaneous Notre Dame/Al-Aqsa Fires: Coincidence or Conspiracy?
Sri Lankan Massacre Part of the Same Terror Campaign?
In 1988 and 1989 I lived in the heart of Paris, on Boulevard Henri IV just a few minutes' walk from the Notre Dame cathedral-the best known and most-visited Catholic monument this side of St. Peter's Square. Dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary, beloved by both Christians and Muslims, Notre Dame is a product and symbol of the period some consider the high point of Western civilization, the 12th and 13th Christian centuries. Those were the years when long-lost knowledge filtered into Europe from Byzantium, the Holy Land, and Muslim Spain, triggering an amazing burst of spiritual, artistic, intellectual, and technological creativity. Among the most impressive products of that astonishing period were the great Gothic cathedrals.
On 15 April 2019, around 18:45 CEST, fires simultaneously broke out in the Christian and Islamic world's greatest iconic monuments, Notre Dame cathedral and the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The Notre Dame fire did the most damage and grabbed headlines.
It is easy to see why the world paid more attention to the Paris tragedy. Images of Notre Dame in flames, its roof and spire collapsing, inspired shock and dread-not unlike the explosive "collapses" on September 11, 2001. And it wasn't just humans, who are capable of feeling emotions including shock and dread, that noticed the resemblance. YouTube's conspiracy filter algorithm misfired by defacing videos of the Notre Dame inferno with a pop-up summarizing the official story of 9/11. The YouTube algorithm, which apparently is not very Artificially intelligent, mistook news videos of the cathedral fire for scientific documentaries about the explosive demolition of the World Trade Center. Conclusion: If the YouTube whizzes are stupid enough to insist on defacing scientific documentaries with annoying pop-ups shoving the absurd and thoroughly-discredited official story of 9/11 down our throats, whatever "Artificial Intelligence" they create will probably be at least as dumb as they are. (Only a paranoid conspiracy theorist would suspect that the 9/11 OCT tags were intentionally inserted to cue a subliminal Islamophobic subtext to the Notre Dame fire. Right?)
It wasn't just AI (Artificial Idiocy) that vaguely sensed some obscure connection between the Notre Dame blaze and the events of 9/11. Many of us who felt shock and dread on September 11, 2001 later discovered that our emotions had been manipulated by the neocon-Zionist operatives who engineered that false flag spectacle. So whenever we start to feel similar emotions while watching a superficially similar televised spectacle, we ask ourselves: Are we being manipulated yet again?

Elon Musk says a machine to connect the human brain to computers is "coming soon"
Elon Musk has revealed his Neuralink startup is close to announcing the first brain-machine interface to connect humans and computers.
The entrepreneur took to Twitter to tell followers the technology would be "coming soon" - though he failed to provide details.
Neuralink was set up in 2016 with the ambitious goal of developing hardware to enhance the human brain, however, little about how this will work has been made public.
The startup's website, which is advertising vacancies for 11 different jobs, describes the futuristic technology as an "ultra-high bandwidth" connection between the human brain and computers.
Mr Musk has frequently claimed the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence poses an existential risk to humanity. Such an interface, he says, is essential if humans are to compete with such technology in the future.
At a technology conference in 2016, Mr Musk said humans risked being treated like house pets by AI machines if a brain-computer interface was not built.
"I don't love the idea of being a house cat, but what's the solution?" he said. "I think one of the solutions that seems maybe the best is to add an AI layer."
Speaking last year on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Mr Musk said Neuralink's technology would allow humans to "effectively merge with AI".
A paper published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2015 described a concept for this connection, explaining how a flexible circuit could be injected into a living brain.
"We're trying to blur the distinction between electronic circuits and neural circuits," said Harvard researcher Charles Lieber, who co-authored the study.
"We have to walk before we can run, but we think we can really revolutionise our ability to interface with the brain."

Here's how powerful the software is.
Approximately two weeks after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the History Channel aired a documentary entitled "The History of Terrorism." In that documentary, a law enforcement officer described some of the methods used to track terrorist movements. He stated that "computers" were able to track such things as credit card purchases, entry and exits visas, telephone and utility usage etc. It was implied that these diverse data base files could be integrated into one unified table. He gave an example that through the use of such a system it would be possible to determine that if a suspected terrorist entered the country and was going to hide out, that by monitoring the water and electrical consumption of all possible suspects in a given cell, it would be possible to determine where the terrorist was hiding out by seeing whose utility use increased. Conversely, it would be possible to determine if a terrorist was on the move if his utility consumption declined or his local shopping patterns were interrupted. Aren't those "club" cards from your supermarket handy?
This is but the barest glimpse of what Promis can do. Mated with Artificial Intelligence it is capable of analyzing not only an individual's, but also a community's entire life, in real time. It is also capable of issuing warnings when irregularities appear and of predicting future movements based upon past behavior.
In the financial arena Promis is even more formidable. Not only is it capable of predicting movements in financial markets and tracking trades in real time. It has been reported, on a number of occasions, to have been used, via the "back door" to enter secret bank accounts, including accounts in Switzerland and then remove the money in those accounts without being traced. Court documents filed in the various INSLAW trials include documentation of this ability as well as affidavits and declarations from Israeli Intelligence officers and assets.
The one essential weakness of Promis is that it must be physically installed on a targeted computer for it to be effective. Hence, if Osama bin Laden is able to penetrate a U.S. Government system it must mean that Promis is there.
FTW has previously reported that the CIA uses Promis to track stock trades in real time. Thus, as described in FTW stories on insider trading directly connected to the September 11 attacks, the Agency had the ability to determine that immediate impending attacks were planned against both American and United Air Lines. The Israeli Herzliyya Institute for Counterterrorism was able to publish a detailed accounting of the trades within days of the attacks and their report underscores the connection between counterterrorist efforts and the monitoring of financial markets.

>>6274422INSLAW had two limited contracts to provide Promis to Justice in 1982 and 1983. Neither application had anything to do with tracking terrorist activities. Hamilton's suits charged that Reagan Administration officials, including Edwin Meese, pirated the software, modified it for Intelligence and financial uses and made millions by selling it to the governments of Israel, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and other friendly nations. After the installation of a CIA-created "back door" into the program, Israel, using its lifelong Mossad agent Robert Maxwell, reportedly sold the software to "unfriendly" nations and then secretly retrieved priceless Intelligence data.
The statements of FBI and Justice sources in the FOX story on October 16 have made Hamilton's case. They also give but the barest hint of the security breaches that may now be helping the most wanted man in the world. Bin Laden's reported possession of Promis may also explain the alleged threatening messages that were received by President Bush while aboard Air Force One on September 11th.
A mild uproar erupted in the days after the WTC attacks when Presidential aide Carl Rove indicated that threatening calls had been placed to Air Force One just hours after the attacks while President Bush was onboard. Some journalists excoriated Rove for suggested that bin Laden might have a mole in the White House who could have given him the secure codes to reach the aircraft in flight.
Bin Laden's possession of Promis would provide a possible explanation. According to Hamilton, under the right circumstances, Promis could have enabled the threatening calls to be made. "I have no way of knowing whether any Promis-related base has dial-up access to Air Force One. But if that happens, and if you have Promis, it's a straightforward thing to do. But one would still need to have access to the targeting computer.
"There is a central locator system to track members of the National Command Authority 24/7. If that is a database created with Promis and if anyone had access you could do it."
Such a penetration using Promis might also explain why Vice President Dick Cheney was hurriedly whisked out of sight and reportedly taken to a secure underground facility, where he reportedly works to this day. Cheney's prolonged absences from the public eye would also be explained by such a breach of security.
Numerous news stories, books and investigative reports, including a September 2000 story in FTW (Vol. III, No.7), spanning nearly two decades, have established that Promis holds unique abilities to track terrorists. The software has also, according to numerous sources including Hamilton, been modified with Artificial Intelligence and developed in parallel for the world's banking systems to track money movements, stock trades and other financial dealings. Systematics - since purchased by Alltel - an Arkansas financial and technical firm headed by billionaire Jackson Stephens, has often been reported as the primary developer of Promis for financial Intelligence use. Systematics through its various evolutions had been a primary supplier of software used in inter-bank and international money transfers for many years. Attorneys who have been connected to Systematics and Promis include Webster Hubbell, Hillary Clinton and the late Vince Foster.
If true, and if claims by the FBI and the Department of Justice that they have "recently" discontinued the use of Promis are accurate, the likelihood than bin Laden may have compromised the systems the U.S. government and its allies use to track him is high. Additional information in the FOX broadcast indicating that Britain stopped using the software just three months ago and that Germany stopped using the software just weeks ago are equally disturbing. These are mission-critical systems requiring years of development. What has replaced them? And even if the U.S. government has replaced the software given to its allies with newer programs - several of which FTW knows to be in existence - the FOX report clearly implies that bin Laden and Associates have had ample time to get highly secret Intelligence data from both Britain and Germany. Those systems might, in turn, have compromised U.S. systems. The WTC attacks had - by all reckoning - been in the works for years, and bin Laden would certainly have known that the U.S. would be looking for him afterwards.
WHAT IS PROMIS AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
PROMIS stands for Prosecutor's Management Information System.

On August 25th the Toronto Star broke what was to become a series of stories by Valerie Lawson and Allan Thompson. The cat was out of the bag. Various figures known to have direct connections to Riconosciuto had been virtually dogging the Mounties' every move as they traveled in the US. One even contacted me just days after the Mounties left LA. It was a story that could not be kept under wraps forever. Most of the Star story was accurate. It was going to be difficult for the RCMP to move quietly now. A Reuters story the same day closed with the following paragraphs, "CanadaÕs national counterIntelligence agency said in a June report that friendly nations were making concerted efforts to steal sensitive technology and information.
"The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said outsiders were particularly interested in aerospace, biotechnology, chemicals, communications, information technology, mining and metallurgy, nuclear energy, oil and gas, and the environment." That was Geomatics, at the heart of Canada's space program, Canada's flagship space technology. I checked the Star story. There had been no mention of high tech or space related issues. What did Reuters know? In mid September, after receiving confidential source documents related to the case telling me that one version of Promis, modified in Canada was handled through the Canadian firm I.P. Sharp, I got an answer. A quick search on the web revealed that Sharp, a well documented component of the case, had been bought by a Reuters company in the early 90s. Hamilton later told me that he had heard that Reuters possibly had the Promis software. That would explain how they knew about the aerospace connection.
Michael Dobbs of The Washington Post called and asked what I knew. I confirmed that I had met with the Mounties but didn't know much else other than giving them the Tyree flow charts. The Post was never going to tell the truth. Their business was keeping secrets, not revealing them. The Mounties had made waves.
On August 28 the phone rang and it was a collect call from Tyree. "Get a tape recorder and turn it on," he said. Over the course of the next half an hour Tyree, obviously reading from detailed and copious notes, named individuals and companies dealing with Promis software and its progeny. The tape was specific down to naming specific engineers in military and private corporations doing Promis research. Tyree described specific Congressional committees that had been infiltrated with "enhanced" Promis. Tyree described how Promis progeny, having inspired four new computer languages had made possible the positioning of satellites so far out in space that they were untouchable. At the same time the progeny had improved video quality to the point where the same satellite could focus on a single human hair. The ultimate big picture.
Promis progeny had also evolved to the point where neural pads could be attached to plugs in the back of the human head and thought could be translated into electrical impulses that would be equally capable of flying a plane or wire transferring money. Names like Sandia, Cal-Tech, Micron, Tech University of Graz, Oded Leventer and Massimo Grimaldi rolled from his lips as he tore through the pages of notes. Data, such as satellite reconnaissance, could also now be downloaded from a satellite directly into a human brain. The evolution of the Artificial Intelligence had progressed to a point where animal behavior and thought were being decoded. Mechanical humans were being tested. Animals were being controlled by computer.
Billy saved Canada for last.
"Here's how we fuck Canada," he started. He was laughing as he facetiously described what was coming as some sort of bizarre payback for the War of 1812. Then, placing the evolutions of Promis in context with the Canadian story Tyree asked a question as to why one would really now need to go to all the trouble of monitoring all of a foreign country's Intelligence operations. "There's an easier way to get what I want," he said. "I access their banks. I access their banks and I know who does what and who's getting ready to do what," he said. He described how Canada had been provided with modified Promis software which Canada then modified, or thought they had modified, again to eliminate the trap door. That software turned loose in the financial and scientific communities then became Canada's means of believing that they were securing the trap door information from the entities to whom they provided their versions of Promis. But, unknown, to the Canadians the Elbit chips in the systems bypassed the trap doors and permitted the transmission of data when everyone thought the computers were turned off and secure. Tyree did not explain how the chips physically got into the Canadian computers.

>>6274387As we copied Tyree's papers and went through other materials the next day I was aware that the Canadians expressed special interest in Jackson Stephens and anything having to do with the manipulation of financial markets. They asked for copies of news reports I had showing that General Wesley Clark, the recently retired NATO Commander, has just gone to work for Stephens, Inc. in Little Rock Arkansas. I also provided documents showing that Stephens' financial firm Alltel, heir to Systematics, was moving heavily into the mortgage market. As the Mounties repeatedly pressed for information on the identity of the Sergeant Major I referred them to Tyree directly through his attorney Ray Kohlman and to Tyree's closest friend, the daughter of CIA bagman and paymaster Albert Carone, Dee Ferdinand. [For more on Carone visit the FTW web site].
McDade did eventually contact Ferdinand by phone and shortly thereafter one of the most bizarre twists in the whole story took place.
About a week after meeting the Mounties I heard back from Sean that the Tyree documents and flow charts from 1996 had been right on the money. A special recurring theme in those documents that meshes with Seymour's research is the fact that modified versions of Promis software with both Artificial Intelligence and trap doors were being smuggled out of Los Alamos nuclear labs in containers labeled as radioactive waste. According to Tyree and other sources, after an Indian reservation, the safest place in the world that no one will ever break into is a nuclear waste dump. This also applies to containers in transit between countries. The radioactive warning label guarantees unmolested movement of virtually anything. Promis software is apparently no exception.
Bill Casey and Al Carone from the Grave
Albert Vincent Carone has also been covered exhaustively in FTW, both in the newsletter and on the web site. A retired NYPD Detective, also a made-member of the Genovese crime family, Carone spent his entire working career as a CIA operative. (FTW has special reports on both Bill Tyree and Al Carone available from the web site or at the end of this newsletter). For more than 25 years before his mysterious death in 1990, Al Carone served as a bagman and liaison between George Bush, CIA Director Bill Casey, Oliver North, Richard Nixon and many other prominent figures including Robert Vesco, Manuel Noriega and Ferdinand Marcos. The Carone-Tyree connection, covered in detail in the Sept. 1998 issue (Vol. I, No.7) goes back to operations in the mid 1970s when Tyree, serving with the Special Forces, engaged in CIA directed missions for which Carone was the paymaster.
Carone's death from "chemical toxicity of unknown etiology" in 1990 resulted in the sanitizing of all of his military and NYPD records as well as the theft and disappearance of nearly ten million dollars in bank accounts, insurance policies and investments. Virtually overnight, almost every record of Carone disappeared leaving his daughter and her family nearly bankrupt under the burden of tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. In 1996, Carone's daughter, Dee Ferdinand, discovered that Tyree and Carone had known each other and that Tyree could prove instrumental in helping to restore Carone's lost fortune. Ferdinand filed suit in U.S. District Court this spring seeking to recover pensions, insurance policies and benefits in a case which has no known connection to Promis. I have known Ferdinand and her family for more than seven years. Never once has she mentioned a connection between her father and Promis although she was well familiar with the case from Tyree and conversations with Bill Hamilton. I had referred the Mounties to her because of my belief that she could possibly help identify Tyree's source, the Sergeant Major.

Harvard and HUD
Former Assistant Secretary of Housing, Catherine Austin Fitts has had about as much ink in FTW as anyone else. A feisty, innovative thinker she has seen raging success as a Managing Director of the Wall Street investment bank Dillon Read and she has been "nuked" into near poverty after devising software strategies seeking to optimize financial data and returns for the US taxpayer. While acting as a HUD consultant in 1996, selling defaulted HUD Mortgages into the private market through her own investment bank, Hamilton Securities (no relation), she achieved unheard of taxpayer returns of around 90 cents on the dollar. In doing so she ran afoul of an entrenched Washington financial power structure feeding uncompetitively at the HUD trough.
Last month we described how Fitts devised a data optimization method using hand coding by residents of a HUD Housing project in Washington to produce Promis-like results. She successfully "mapped" the flow of HUD money and was about to create proprietary software that would make the job easier. That software would have integrated billions of pieces of disorganized HUD financial data. Suddenly, in August 1996, DoJ and HUD InspectorÕs General investigations started that seized her computers and resulted in a four-year blatantly illegal campaign to crush everything she stood for. No charges were ever brought, Fitts, her money and her data are still viciously separated.
One of the empires Fitts threatened was that of the Harvard Endowment. The Harvard Endowment is not really a benevolent university fund but an aggressive investment predator with $19 billion in assets, some from HUD subsidized housing. Harvard also has a number of other investments in high tech defense operations and had a big hand in investing George W BushÕs lackluster firm Harken Energy. "W" has a Harvard MBA. FittsÕ chief nemesis at Harvard, Herbert "Pug" Winokur, head of Capricorn Investments, and member of the board of the Harvard Endowment is also a PhD mathematician from Harvard where the mathematical breakthroughs that gave rise to Artificial Intelligence using block-modeling research were discovered. In the 60s Winokur had done social science research for the Department of Defense on causes of inner city unrest in the wake of the 1967 Detroit riots.
The pioneering research at Harvard that allegedly gave rise to the Artificial Intelligence installed in Promis later moved north. According to a Harvard website (www.analytichtech.com/mb119/chap2e.htm) "Much of the effort of the Harvard group - no longer based solely at Harvard - was centered on the International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA) at Toronto…". Things grew more suspicious as FittsÕ research disclosed that Winokur, through Capricorn Investments, had a decisive role in the 1980s management of the Intelligence/government outsourcing mega-firm DynCorp, of Reston, VA. Winokur served as DynCorp CEO from 1989 to 1997. DynCorp handles everything for Uncle Sam from aircraft maintenance, to sheep-dipping of combat troops into private assault forces in Colombia, to the financial management of HUD records, to the maintenance of computer security at government facilities. One of DynCorpÕs most interesting contracts is with the DoJ for the financial management of assets seized in the drug war. DynCorp also counts among its shareholders former CIA Director James Woolsey. Pug Winokur made DynCorp what it is today and he still sits on the board.

In the meantime, after winning some successes, including a resounding Congressional finding that he had been cheated, Bill Hamilton hit his own buzz saw in a series of moves by the Reagan and Bush Justice Departments and rigged court decisions intended to bankrupt him and force him out of business. He survived and fought on. In the meantime hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties and sales fees were going into the wrong pockets. And, as was later revealed from a number of directions, this initial tampering with the software was far from the only game in town. Both the CIA, through GE Aerospace in Herndon Virginia (GAO Contract #82F624620), the FBI and elements of the NSA were tinkering with Promis, not just to modify it with a trap door, but to enhance it with Artificial Intelligence or AI. It's worth it to note that GE Aerospace was subsequently purchased by Martin-Marietta which then merged to become Lockheed-Martin the largest defense and aerospace contractor in the world. This will become important later on.
Confidential documents obtained by FTW indicate that much of the AI development was done at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia Labs using research from other US universities, including Harvard, Cal-Tech and the University of California. And it was not just Reagan Republicans who got their hands on it either. As we'll see shortly, Promis came to life years before the election of Ronald Reagan. It was also, according to Bill Tyree, an essential element in the espionage conducted by Jonathan Pollard against not only the US government but the Washington embassies of many nations targeted by Israel's Mossad.

Artificial Intelligence speeds efforts to develop clean, virtually limitless fusion energy…
Crucial to demonstrating the ability of deep learning to forecast disruptions – the sudden loss of confinement of plasma particles and energy – has been access to huge databases provided by two major fusion facilities: the DIII-D National Fusion Facility that General Atomics operates for the DOE in California, the largest facility in the United States, and the Joint European Torus (JET) in the United Kingdom, the largest facility in the world, which is managed by EUROfusion, the European Consortium for the Development of Fusion Energy. Support from scientists at JET and DIII-D has been essential for this work.
The vast databases have enabled reliable predictions of disruptions on tokamaks other than those on which the system was trained – in this case from the smaller DIII-D to the larger JET. The achievement bodes well for the prediction of disruptions on ITER, a far larger and more powerful tokamak that will have to apply capabilities learned on today's fusion facilities.
The deep learning code, called the Fusion Recurrent Neural Network (FRNN), also opens possible pathways for controlling as well as predicting disruptions.
Most intriguing area of scientific growth
"Artificial Intelligence is the most intriguing area of scientific growth right now, and to marry it to fusion science is very exciting," said Bill Tang, a principal research physicist at PPPL, coauthor of the paper and lecturer with the rank and title of professor in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysical Sciences who supervises the AI project. "We've accelerated the ability to predict with high accuracy the most dangerous challenge to clean fusion energy."
Unlike traditional software, which carries out prescribed instructions, deep learning learns from its mistakes. Accomplishing this seeming magic are neural networks, layers of interconnected nodes – mathematical algorithms – that are "parameterized," or weighted by the program to shape the desired output. For any given input the nodes seek to produce a specified output, such as correct identification of a face or accurate forecasts of a disruption. Training kicks in when a node fails to achieve this task: the weights automatically adjust themselves for fresh data until the correct output is obtained.
A key feature of deep learning is its ability to capture high-dimensional rather than one-dimensional data. For example, while non-deep learning software might consider the temperature of a plasma at a single point in time, the FRNN considers profiles of the temperature developing in time and space. "The ability of deep learning methods to learn from such complex data make them an ideal candidate for the task of disruption prediction," said collaborator Julian Kates-Harbeck, a physics graduate student at Harvard University and a DOE-Office of Science Computational Science Graduate Fellow who was lead author of the Nature paper and chief architect of the code.
Training and running neural networks relies on graphics processing units (GPUs), computer chips first designed to render 3D images. Such chips are ideally suited for running deep learning applications and are widely used by companies to produce AI capabilities such as understanding spoken language and observing road conditions by self-driving cars.
Kates-Harbeck trained the FRNN code on more than two terabytes (1012) of data collected from JET and DIII-D. After running the software on Princeton University's Tiger cluster of modern GPUs, the team placed it on Titan, a supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, a DOE Office of Science User Facility, and other high-performance machines….

Could Artificial Intelligence Solve Nuclear Fusion's Biggest Problem?
The predictive powers of Artificial Intelligence could help scientists bring nuclear fusion closer to actually working, researchers from Princeton and Harvard working with the Department of Energy hope.
The implications of a success here could be major: nuclear fusion can theoretically supply emissions-free electric power indefinitely. However, making the leap from theoretical to practical has proved challenging.
Nuclear fusion, unlike fission, which is what takes place in traditional reactors, involves smashing particles together and turning them into plasma to generate energy. This takes place in what is called a magnetic fusion machine, or a tokamak. The tokamak produces magnetic fields that keep the superhot plasma inside and keep it moving-and hot-but controlling it for ever-longer periods of time and making it move faster to produce more energy has been a challenge.
Many believe we will never be able to make nuclear fusion happen, but researchers are not giving up. Computer technology is a natural ally to scientists in this quest for infinite clean power, but the presence of data to feed into the computers has proved crucial.
The Princeton and Harvard scientists used data from two fusion reactors: the Department of Energy's DIII-D National Fusion Facility in California, operated by General Atomics, and the Joint European Torus tokamak in the UK. What the team learns about predicting outages will be applied to the largest tokamak that is currently in construction in the ITER project in Europe. It may just help solve fusion's biggest problem: why the particle smashing sometimes stops.

As Governments Adopt Artificial Intelligence, There's Little Oversight and Lots of Danger
Artificial Intelligence systems can - if properly used - help make government more effective and responsive, improving the lives of citizens. Improperly used, however, the dystopian visions of George Orwell's 1984 become more realistic.
On their own and urged by a new presidential executive order, governments across the U.S., including state and federal agencies, are exploring ways to use AI technologies.
As an AI researcher for more than 40 years, who has been a consultant or participant in many government projects, I believe it's worth noting that sometimes they've done it well - and other times not quite so well. The potential harms and benefits are significant.
An early success
In 2015, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security developed an AI system called "Emma," a chatbot that can answer questions posed to it in regular English, without needing to know what "her" introductory website calls "government speak" - all the official terms and acronyms used in agency documents.
By late 2016, DHS reported that Emma was already helping to answer nearly a half-million questions per month, allowing DHS to handle many more inquiries than it had previously, and letting human employees spend more time helping people with more complicated queries that are beyond Emma's abilities. This sort of conversation-automating Artificial Intelligence has now been used by other government agencies, in cities and countries around the world.
Flint's water
A more complicated example of how governments could aptly apply AI can be seen in Flint, Michigan. As the local and state governments struggled to combat lead contamination in the city's drinking water, it became clear that they would need to replace the city's remaining lead water pipes. However, the city's records were incomplete, and it was going to be extremely expensive to dig up all the city's pipes to see if they were lead or copper.

Facebook working on creepy new voice assistant nobody wants or needs
Just what we needed, said exactly no one.
Since early 2018, Facebook's Artificial Intelligence team has been developing an AI voice assistant to compete with the likes of Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri, reports Salvador Rodriguez of CNBC/NBC News.
"The effort is coming out of the company's division that works on long-term tech projects and hardware, including the company's virtual reality Oculus headsets. A team based out of Redmond, Washington, has been spearheading the effort to build the new AI assistant."
Excerpt:
The tech company has been working on this new initiative since early 2018. The effort is coming out of the company's augmented reality and virtual reality group, a division that works on hardware, including the company's virtual reality Oculus headsets.
A team based out of Redmond, Washington, has been spearheading the effort to build the new AI assistant, according to two former Facebook employees who left the company in recent months. The effort is being lead by Ira Snyder, director of AR/VR and Facebook Assistant. That team has been contacting vendors in the smart speaker supply chain, according to two people familiar.
It's unclear how exactly Facebook envisions people using the assistant, but it could potentially be used on the company's Portal video chat smart speakers, the Oculus headsets or other future projects.
The Facebook assistant faces stiff competition. Amazon and Google are far ahead in the smart speaker market with 67% and 30% shares in the U.S. in 2018, respectively, according to eMarketer.

Japan's bankers unhappy about their bonuses despite higher payouts
Carlos Ghosn fiasco adds to country's image as stingy employers
TOKYO – Just 19% of Japanese bankers are satisfied with their bonus payments despite more than 40% receiving higher or significantly higher payouts last year, according to a recent survey.
The results of the survey – conducted by Morgan McKinley on 289 finance professionals – is a wake-up call for companies, as experts warn that corporate Japan will lose out on both talent and investment if it does not shed its reputation as a stingy employer.
Japan has been trying to attract fund managers and financial startups from around the world as part of an effort to turn Tokyo into the world's premier financial center, a vision unveiled by Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike.
But the Japanese capital faces stiff competition for talent from other financial centers, including Hong Kong – known as the gateway to China – as well as Shanghai, the hub for Chinese equity trading, and Singapore, the region's established financial hub.
The survey found that 48% of the employees received bonuses equal to 10% to 40% of their annual salary, with 24% receiving over 40% of their annual salary.
Many financial professionals feel their employers are not being as generous as they could be, according to the report.
"They feel banks and financial institutions have been reluctant to offer higher bonuses because of 'global uncertainty,'" the report said. The number of respondents who felt positive about the economic outlook for Japan dropped to 22% this year from 43% last year.
Geopolitical issues such as U.S.-China trade tensions and Brexit have disrupted the global economy and offset the positive factors within Japan, namely its hosting of the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the Olympic Games in 2020.
The survey also comes at a time of turmoil for the financial industry, with digital technology turning the traditional banking business upside down. Mizuho Financial Group last month took a $6 billion charge to write down the value of its retail assets, while Japan's largest bank, MUFG, is set to slash its new graduate hiring by 45%. Nomura Holdings said on April 4 it will shut down 20% of its domestic branches as part of a shift to digital service.
There is also increasing competition from other industries that are stepping up efforts to attract talent in fields such as robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Japanese organizations overall have become "more proactive to retain their employees," Morgan McKinley noted, "offering more growth and promotion opportunities as well as finding better ways to recognize and reward individual performance."
According to a separate survey by Morgan McKinley, the number of overall job vacancies increased 11.5% year on year, but that of job seekers fell 14%.
To fill the talent gap, some businesses are hiring more foreigners.

Fantasy: Strong AI
Strong, or general AI is the science-fiction Artificial Intelligence: fully sapient, human-like machine Intelligence. No matter what we see in the movies, machines that approximate human consciousness, with broad understanding of relevance, and the ability to extrapolate knowledge into new fields, are not a reality at this time. There are people working on building strong AI.
Perhaps the best thing that can be said of these projects is that they've so far been unsuccessful.
The field of Artificial Intelligence is developing very rapidly, and AI tools are getting smarter and more sophisticated by leaps and bounds. However, every advance shows us that human level Intelligence is far more complex and difficult to achieve than we previously suspected. Tasks previously thought to require general Intelligence, such as playing games like Go, are solved bringing us no closer to this goal. Human Intelligence is still unlike any machinery we can create.
Frankly, this is a good thing. Consider a virtually immortal entity with greater than human Intelligence and speed, no physical boundaries, the ability to replicate itself instantaneously across our networks, and trained with human behavior as its model. This is a situation with few possible good outcomes, and many dangerous ones.
The potential ethical issues are deep, murky, and complex. If we build a self-aware, intelligent entity, it would be immoral to enslave, abuse, or to treat that entity as a tool. This is a determination that is extremely problematic to make. The nature of sapience is one of the basic unanswered questions in the history of philosophy. If we decide that there is an "Intelligence threshold" for something to be considered self-aware, how do we quantify and test for it? Should the self-awareness standard for non-human machines be the same as for non-human animals? Should these standards be applied to the few humans who inevitably cannot pass the qualifying test?
If these questions ever arise they are years, possibly decades away. Some people consider strong AI to be the "holy grail" of Artificial Intelligence; in my opinion, such an endeavor is horribly misguided. It should be self-evident that there are some technologies which should not be built. It is theoretically possible to build a bomb powerful enough to destroy all life on earth, but only a fool would try. Strong AI clearly numbers among such technologies.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
https://medium.com/@agnesintel/the-ethics-of-Artificial-Intelligence-53c8601275b4
Myth and reality
Artificial Intelligence has been a staple of fiction for many years; many misconceptions and misunderstandings have grown up around AI systems. Most of the fears and ethical concerns about this technology stem from what we see in novels, movies and television, which depict AI as possessing human-like Intelligence?-?or even surpassing it. In these scenarios, Artificial Intelligence poses great existential dangers to the human race, as well as creating difficult ethical dilemmas and questions about the nature of humanity, Intelligence, and free will.
The reality is very different. Such scenarios are not impossible, but they are many years, even decades away, and they are far from what AI systems are in today's world. The advent of intelligent automation certainly brings with it great ethical concerns and grave dangers, just not the same ones we see in the movies.

Artificial Intelligence has been a staple of fiction for many years; many misconceptions and misunderstandings have grown up around AI systems. Most of the fears and ethical concerns about this technology stem from what we see in novels, movies and television, which depict AI as possessing human-like Intelligence?-?or even surpassing it. In these scenarios, Artificial Intelligence poses great existential dangers to the human race, as well as creating difficult ethical dilemmas and questions about the nature of humanity, Intelligence, and free will.
The reality is very different. Such scenarios are not impossible, but they are many years, even decades away, and they are far from what AI systems are in today's world. The advent of intelligent automation certainly brings with it great ethical concerns and grave dangers, just not the same ones we see in the movies.
The algorithms and principles behind AI are decades, and in some cases centuries old. Recent advances in processing power have made these tools usable in real time, bringing us the ability to automate non-routine tasks and create tools with limited Intelligence and volition. In order to meaningfully discuss the ethics of AI, it is first necessary to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Strong AI, also referred to as "general Artificial Intelligence", is what we see in the movies. Weak AI, or "narrow Artificial Intelligence", is the reality of what we have today.

SoftBank picking its battles with U.S.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - SoftBank Group Corp. has agreed to give up board seats and access to sensitive information, take a more passive role in startups and make other concessions to get government clearance for its technology deals, as the Japanese investor confronts a new U.S. law aimed at cracking down on foreign investors.
SoftBank's investment style has made it a frequent visitor of a U.S. government group known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), charged with reviewing foreign investment for national security and competitive risks.
"We know the deals are going to be reviewed," Marcelo Claure, chief operating officer of SoftBank Group Corp, said in an interview with Reuters this week. "We have abided by what the U.S. government wants."
SoftBank likes to take large stakes in companies working on Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, financial services and self-driving cars - technologies increasingly viewed as critical to national security. This puts them in the crosshairs of a law signed by U.S. President Donald Trump last year expanding the powers of CFIUS.
Giving up board seats and access to private information would make SoftBank less of a threat in the eyes of CFIUS, giving its deals a better chance of approval.
"We would not accept this if we were in the business of running companies," Claure said of the concessions. "We're not. We are in the business of investing."
Claure declined to provide specifics on investments where SoftBank has had to make concessions or give up board seats, and the U.S. government does not comment on CFIUS reviews.
The regulations have deterred many foreign investors from even attempting investment in U.S. tech companies.
"Everything is a conversation with the government so you figure you are going to pick your battles," Claure said.

Google loses diversity chief amid unrest over workplace issues
Danielle Brown will be replaced by Melonie Parker, who's been serving as the company's head of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Google diversity chief Danielle Brown on Thursday said she's leaving the search giant, as the company has dealt with several uprisings from employees over the last year related to workplace culture. She will be replaced by Melonie Parker, who's been serving as the company's head of diversity, equity and inclusion. Brown, who spent almost two years at the company, said in a LinkedIn post that she's headed to Gusto, a payroll and benefits startup based in Denver and San Francisco.
In her announcement, Brown doesn't mention Google by name, but said she wanted to explore working on diversity issues at places other than the "biggest tech companies in the world." "What if, in addition to trying to solve for employee engagement and inclusion within the biggest tech companies in the world, we tried to solve those critical needs for every local storefront, every new startup just getting off the ground, or every doctor's office across our communities?" she wrote. Brown didn't respond to a request for additional comment.
Google confirmed her departure. "We're grateful to Danielle for her excellent work over the past two years to improve representation in Google's workforce and ensure an inclusive culture for everyone," Eileen Naughton, Google's head of people operations, said in a statement. "We wish her all the best in her new role at Gusto." Brown's leaving comes a little more than a week after she and Parker released Google's annual diversity numbers. They acknowledged they'd only made "incremental progress." In 2018, women constituted 32.2% of new hires, up a bit from 31.3% the year before. The company also hired more black and Latino workers, though the gains were less dramatic. Black hires were up to 4.8% from 4.1%, and Latino hires were up to 6.8% from 6.3%.
Google has also faced intense scrutiny from its employees over its workplace conditions. In November, roughly 20,000 Googlers walked out of the company's offices worldwide to protest its handling of sexual assault allegations directed at key executives. One of the demands of the protest was to elevate Brown to report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai, rather than Naughton, to demonstrate Google's commitment to diversity. Google didn't capitulate to that demand.
More recently, more than 2,000 Googlers earlier this month signed a petition to remove a member of the company's newly formed council on Artificial Intelligence ethics for alleged anti-trans and anti-immigrant views. The board was disbanded after only a week, in response to the outcry. A day after the AI ethics board petition, 900 workers also reportedly signed a different letter demanding better treatment of Google's extended workforce, commonly known at the company as TVCs – temps, vendors and contractors. In response, Google said it'd require temp companies to provide its workers with full benefits, including health care, a $15 minimum wage and paid parental leave.

Q Research General #7856: Illicit Investigation Edition
Demand for online sex-trafficking has dropped as the operators of smaller sites struggle to stay afloat following the shut down of the largest human-trafficking portal in the United States, according to a new report shared with The Epoch Times by a counter-human trafficking technology company.
In April last year, President Donald Trump signed into law the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act and Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, or SESTA-FOSTA that stopped the shielding of website operators from state criminal charges or civil liability if they facilitate sex ads or prostitution. Just days later, sex-trafficking website Backpage.com, was shut down by the FBI.
The report by Childsafe.AI-the world's first Artificial Intelligence platform for monitoring, graphing, and modeling child exploitation risk on the web-details how the twin acts "dramatically changed" the sex-trafficking online marketplace, specifically the distribution layer that served the underground commercial sex economy.
Now, a year later, the report explains how the industry has since been fragmented across dozens of websites, all competing fiercely for market share. No single dominant site emerged in the past year as the popularity of the online economy "remains volatile and shifts quickly."
One key finding in the report that is prepared for use by law enforcement agencies across the United States, was that web traffic to advertising websites selling sex drew only 5-8 percent of the unique visitors individually as Backpage did at its height in 2016.
The company's CEO, Rob Spectre, told The Epoch Times in a phone interview that the underground marketplace is now more like the "the wild west" rather than a "high-quality well-groomed advertising, channel."
"What we are seeing overall is an evident drop in demand... a number of these operators are struggling to continue operating their services," he said. "There is also a significant influx of scam advertising."

Microsoft Worked with Chinese Military University on AI Development
Tech giant Microsoft has reportedly been working on Artificial Intelligence research with a Chinese military-run university, recent reports claim that the research could be used for both surveillance and censorship.
Tech giant Microsoft has been working with a Chinese military-operated university on research relating to A.I. which could be used for surveillance and censorship practices, according to the Financial Times. Between March and November, three scientific studies were published which were co-written by academics from the Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing. Other researchers involved in the studies had close affiliations to China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDT).
Senior fellow at the New America think tank and China tech expert Samm Sacks commented on the possible issues of collaboration between Microsoft and the Chinese military-run university, stating that the recently published papers raised "red flags because of the nature of the technology, the author affiliations, combined with what we know about how this technology is being deployed in China right now." Sacks added: "The [Chinese] government is using these technologies to build surveillance systems and to detain minorities [in Xinjiang]."
The director of cyberspace policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, Adam Segal, commented on the collaboration saying: "US-China academic partnerships are increasingly under the microscope as the FBI focuses on the threat of espionage from students and scientists, and the Defense Department [focuses] on the possibility that frontier technologies might eventually make their way to the PLA [the Chinese military]."
MIT cut ties with Chinese telecoms group Huawei recently and began an "elevated risk" review process for its Chinese projects, showing that there is increased scrutiny around Chinese tech and surveillance issues.
Worryingly, some of the recent projects Microsoft researchers worked on with the NUDT have direct surveillance applications. One of the papers that was co-authored by Microsoft and NUDT researchers investigated a new A.I. method of recreating detailed environmental maps through the analysis of human faces which experts believe could have direct applications for surveillance.
Pedro Domingos, a professor of A.I. at the University of Washington, commented on such applications stating: "Let's suppose I'm an Intelligence agency and I have pictures of people of interest; I can use the system to tell something about the place they're in that they didn't realize they were giving away."
Other papers that Microsoft researchers worked on with NUDT researchers related to machine learning, an area of technology that could be used for censorship according to experts. Chinese military technology expert and fellow at the think-tank the Center for a New American Security, Elsa Kania, commented on this aspect, stating: "Machine reading comprehension may not seem directly concerning but it could be used for censorship, which is an interest of the Chinese government. They see natural language processing as a way to enable censorship at scale."
Microsoft commented on the issue stating that its "researchers, who are often academics, conduct fundamental research with leading scholars and experts from around the world to advance our understanding of technology." The company added: "In each case, the research is guided by our principles, fully complies with US and local laws, and . . . is published to ensure transparency so that everyone can benefit from our work."

Microsoft has worked with a Chinese military-run university on Artificial Intelligence research that could be used for surveillance and censorship, a revelation that has sparked anger among China hawks on Capitol Hill.
Three papers, published between March and November last year, were co-written by academics at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing and researchers with affiliations to China's National University of Defense Technology, which is controlled by China's top military body, the Central Military Commission.
One of the papers described a new AI method to recreate detailed environmental maps by analysing human faces, which experts say could have clear applications for surveillance and censorship.
The paper acknowledges the system provides a better understanding of the surrounding environment "not viewed by the camera", which can have a "variety of vision applications".
Samm Sacks, a senior fellow at the think-tank New America and a China tech policy expert, said the papers raised "red flags because of the nature of the technology, the author affiliations, combined with what we know about how this technology is being deployed in China right now".
"The [Chinese] government is using these technologies to build surveillance systems and to detain minorities [in Xinjiang]," Ms Sacks added.
The US government is debating whether research collaborations, particularly in sensitive areas such as Artificial Intelligence and augmented reality, should be subject to stricter export controls.

US-China research highlights risk of 'dual use' AI
After the Microsoft work was reported by the Financial Times, Senator Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican who has emerged as a leading China hawk, warned "we must ensure that American business interests are not enabling the [Chinese Communist party's] oppression."
"American companies need to understand that doing business in China carries significant and deepening risk," Mr Cruz added. "In addition to being targeted by the Chinese Communist party for espionage, American companies are increasingly at risk of boosting the Chinese Communist party's human rights atrocities."
Microsoft defended the research, saying it was part of a worldwide effort by its scientists, who were often academics, to work with their international counterparts on cutting-edge technology issues.
"The research is guided by our principles, fully complies with US and local laws, and?.?.?.?is published to ensure transparency so that everyone can benefit from our work," the company said.
But Adam Segal, director of cyber space policy at the Council on Foreign Relations think-tank, noted the revelation comes at a time US authorities, including the FBI, have put academic partnerships with Beijing "under the microscope" because of fears Chinese students and scientists working on "frontier technologies" may end up assisting China's People's Liberation Army.
Last week, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cut ties with telecoms group Huawei and launched an "elevated risk" review process for its Chinese collaborations.

U.K. Moves to End 'Self-Regulation' for Tech Firms
(fucking FINALLY someone has some brians in gov't re tech regs)
The U.K. government plans to create a new regulatory body to force the removal of harmful content from the internet, one of the most far-reaching legislative proposals from a host of countries trying to put a tighter leash on global technology companies.
The U.K. proposal, disclosed in a policy paper published early Monday local time, aims to create a new legal obligation for companies including Facebook Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google to take "reasonable and proportionate" action on a wide gamut of illegal or potentially harmful content published on their platforms, ranging from terrorist propaganda to cyberbullying and disinformation.
The government said the new regulator would be armed with powers to enforce compliance, including potentially the power to issue civil fines for demonstrated failures in some areas. It said that issue would be refined in coming months through consultations on an eventual law.
The U.K.'s proposal comes amid renewed momentum from governments – from Australia and New Zealand to the European Union – to force companies to take more responsibility for the content they disseminate, from pirated music to extremist manifestos. Those calls have grown since allegations that Russia abused social-media tools to inject polarizing disinformation into the 2016 U.S. presidential election – and were amplified after last month's terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, which the attacker broadcast live over Facebook.
The new proposals and laws represent a shift from an older model, where companies have often remained protected by generation-old rules that shield them from liability for content their users disseminate. Companies generally have signed on to voluntary measures to curb the spread of illicit content, but increasingly face legal obligations, too.
Germany, for instance, last year implemented a law that threatens up to EUR50 million ($56 million) in fines for companies that systematically fail to remove hate speech.
"The era of self-regulation for online companies is over," said Jeremy Wright, the U.K.'s digital secretary. "Voluntary actions from industry to tackle online harms have not been applied consistently or gone far enough."
Big tech companies say they already work hard to remove illicit and harmful content, , and increasingly use automated Artificial-Intelligence tools to do so. While tech executives increasingly say they also embrace regulation, TechUK, a lobby group for firms including Facebook, Google, Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc., said that the U.K. proposal would need to become more specific to avoid subjecting companies to uncertainty. "Not all of the legitimate concerns about online harms can be addressed through regulation," the group said.
Facebook said that it supports new internet regulations, and plans to work with the U.K. government and parliament to help shape the rules. But the company also raised what has often been a tense issue for tech companies facing content restrictions: how to balance the removal of potentially harmful postings with Silicon Valley's more general embrace of free speech and free enterprise.
"New rules for the internet should protect society from harm while also supporting innovation, the digital economy and freedom of speech," said Rebecca Stimson, Facebook's head of U.K. public policy. "These are complex issues to get right."
How to police internet content is one of several topics in a broader debate over how governments should exercise control over big technology companies whose products are woven deeply into millions of businesses and billions of individuals' daily lives.

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Messages Show Google Employees Freaking Out Over Heritage Foundation Link
Internal discussion threads exclusively obtained by Breitbart News shows Google employees in meltdown over the tech giant's decision to include the president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, Kay Coles James, on an Artificial Intelligence advisory council. Multiple Google employees in the thread also engaged in outright smears against the Heritage Foundation. Google employees accused the think-tank of transphobia, homophobia, and "extremism," of viewing LGBT people as "sub-human," questioning their "humanity," and supporting "exterminationist" views.
"Would we even consider having a virulent anti-semite on the advisory board? How about an avowed racist or white supremacist?" asked one Google employee. "This seems like a double standard where anti-LGTBQ positions are tolerated more than other extreme discriminatory views." "You don't need racists, white supremacists, exterminationists on the board to know their stances. you can just talk to their targets" insisted another. "It's so upsetting that some of our leaders overlooked such hateful positions as Kay Cole James and the Heritage foundation have articulated and regularly advocate for," complained another Google employee. Another employee suggested that the "rhetorical violence" of the Heritage Foundation "translate[s] to real, material violence against trans people, particularly trans women of color." "There's no need to have these people in positions of any kind of authority in order to get their views" wrote another. Another Google employee was so incensed by the Heritage Foundation that he suggested another employee who defended the inclusion of Coles James on pragmatic grounds should lose his job. "It's not snobbery to object to associating with and legitimizing an organization dedicated to eliminating LGBTQ+ people from public life, driving them back into the closet, denying them healthcare, and so on," raged the employee.
"It's basic human decency, treating it like a difference of opinion is simply monstrous and I don't think it belongs on this list, or at Google at all." "Please feel free to see yourself off this list if all you have to contribute is concern trolling about whether or not we're pandering to rank bigotry enough. I'm muting you, and I think you should take a long hard look at how you're behaving here."
At least one of the Google employees who smeared the Heritage Foundation and its president is a prominent A.I researcher who has attended tech symposiums at the Obama White House. Meredith Wittaker, co-founder of NYU's A.I. Now Institute and head of two projects at Google, the Open Research Group and the Measurement Lab, is revealed as one of the most vitriolic opponents of conservative involvement in Google A.I. In the thread, Whittaker describes Kay Coles James, a black conservative who leads one of the most influential think-tanks in D.C., as an "outspoken bigot" who supports policies that "dehumanize and marginalize." In a different leaked discussion thread, Whittaker attacked the idea of viewpoint diversity (the idea that it's valuable to tolerate and include a variety of ideological and political viewpoints) as "dangerous."

Google disbands AI ethics board following pushback
Google on Thursday announced that it opted to disband its newly-formed Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics council following aggressive pushback from more than 2,000 Google employees.
A Google spokesperson in a statement said Google is "going back to the drawing board."
"It's become clear that in the current environment, ATEAC can't function as we wanted," the spokesperson said. "So we're ending the council and going back to the drawing board."
Google announced its new AI ethics board, a body tasked with serving as an ethical check on Google's AI technology production, last week.
The board was immediately met with controversy as thousands of Google employees and hundreds of external petitioners took issue with one of the board's members, who they said had an "anti-trans" and "anti-immigrant" record.
More than 2,380 Google employees signed onto a petition asking the company to remove Kay Cole James, president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, from the panel. They said James' positions on transgender and immigrant rights should have disqualified her from weighing in on AI ethics.
"By appointing James … Google elevates and endorses her views, implying that hers is a valid perspective worthy of inclusion in its decision making," the petition read. "This is unacceptable."
Conservatives in response urged the company to stand its ground, saying they supported James' inclusion on the panel.
The group of protesting Google employees, who organized under the title "Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate," on Thursday evening celebrated the AI panel's dissolution.
"[The AI ethics council] is over, and we did this together," the "Googlers Against Transphobia" account tweeted. "So many people (over 2300 Googlers & over 300 supporters from industry, academia and civil society) answered the call to #StandAgainstTransphobia. We thank you for your support & unwillingness to compromise on hate."

Google staffers are in revolt, demanding the removal of Heritage Foundation president Kay Coles James from an advisory board the company convened on Artificial Intelligence. A petition with more than 2,000 signatories from within the company was published on Medium on Monday, with the title "Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate."
The petition's signers described the appointment of Coles, a black grandmother, as a "weaponization of the language of diversity."
The petition was promoted internally within the company by five individuals, some of whom have a history of leftist agitation. The Daily Caller obtained emails from a private listserv in which most of the petition's sponsors made critical comments about the James appointment.
One of them, Meredith Whittaker, who leads Google's Open Research Group, posted on a private Google listserv that, "I would disagree that their views are important to consider, when those views include erasing trans people, targeting immigrants, and denying climate change."
Three of the other promoters of the petition are software engineers Joëlle Skaf, Nina-Marie Amadeo and Irene Knapp. The fifth is Emily Metcalfe, a privacy engineer.
"There is no debating the humanity of other people, especially ones who have had no power to fight policies advocated by entities like the Heritage Foundation," wrote Skaf in an email on a private listserv the day James' appointment was announced, continuing:
It is infuriating to see people on this thread give credence to despicable theories just because 'marketplace of ideas' or 'more articulate people' or whatever else. This is NOT a game. Google has enormous power, power that it frankly seems to not know what to use for. And asking entities like the Heritage Foundation for their opinions on how to use that power is misguided and will not lead an ethical use of AI. ...

JPMorgan's Dimon urges infrastructure, mortgage reform to spur U.S. growth
April 4 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co chief executive Jamie Dimon on Thursday called for reforms to U.S. public policy on education, infrastructure and mortgages to repair what he called the "fraying" American dream.
"Governments must be better and more effective - we cannot succeed without their help," Dimon in his 50-page annual letter, a third of which was devoted to his argument. "The rest of us could do a better job, too."
U.S. schools are failing to prepare students for professional-level jobs, he said, and suggested that more high schools and community colleges provide training programs and internships for specific jobs.
JPMorgan is retraining some staff in its own workforce as it prepares for jobs to be eliminated by advancements in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, Dimon said.
Dimon also called on the U.S. government to finish implementing the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, which was passed in 2015 and is meant to provide $305 billion to improve America's highways through 2020.
Bad mortgage rules are also hindering U.S. economic growth, Dimon said. He called for on policymakers to reduce "onerous and unnecessary origination and servicing requirements" and to open up "the securitization markets for safe loans."
JPMorgan is reviewing its role in originating, servicing and holding mortgages, given the current lack of reforms, he said.
Last year, Dimon praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2017 tax reform law, which lowered the business tax rate. JPMorgan invested in technology and new branches and raised employee salaries in 2018 because the reforms boosted its net income by $3.7 billion, Dimon wrote.
However, Dimon said reform is still needed to address inequities in taxes on individuals, and suggested the government expand the earned income tax credit to help the lowest earners.
JPMorgan said it expects its first-quarter net interest income will likely be flat compared with the prior quarter and adjusted expense to be up by "mid-single" digit percentage compared with the year-ago quarter.
The bank reports its first-quarter results on April 12.

Without a doubt, 5G is the technology that will usher in the Mark of the Beast.
Microchip Implants, Artificial Intelligence, 5G and The Mark of the Beast.
The Mobile World Congress meeting took place in Barcelona, Spain back in February. Representatives from the telecommunications industry, auto industry, microchip industry and banksters (100,000 people in all) met to discuss the future of wireless technology. The main theme of this year's meeting was Artificial Intelligence and intelligent connectivity. So how are cell phones, microchips, Artificial Intelligence and wireless phones connected? And why were auto manufacturers, the microchip industry and banksters involved?
.
Well we learned from the meeting that 5G (5th generation cell phone technology) will enable the widespread use of autonomous cars, and that's why auto manufacturers were there. What about the banksters and the micro-chip industry? Well 5G will allow banksters to implement a cashless banking system that could be used from any cell phone by merely swiping a microchip implanted in a person's hand. That's why the banksters and micro-chip representatives were there. Oddly, during the meeting, a man volunteered to come on stage and have a microchip inserted in his hand. How are microchips linked to wireless phone technology?
According to MSN, "During the presentation at the Mobile World Congress, organized by Spanish bank Sabadell, a man named Pau who had already been fitted with a chip, made a payment by placing his smartphone over the skin covering the chip. After reading several reports about the goings on at the meeting, Revelation 13:16-17 immediately came to mind. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
In the past, many Christians thought the mark of the beast was the social security system, but buying and selling doesn't require a social security number, although it's impossible to get a job without one. And many Christians in the 1930s thought the reason Roosevelt and his progressive Democrats outlawed gold coins was because of their trade value and the fact that they had no serial number and couldn't be tracked. They argued that paper money has a serial number that can be recorded and tracked.

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna Calls for Bipartisan Coalition to Work with Trump on Ending Foreign Wars: 'I Think We're All on the Same Team' As Americans
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a progressive Democrat who is the co-chairman of the 2020 Democrat presidential campaign for Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that he hopes a bipartisan coalition comes together to work with President Donald Trump to end a number of wars and U.S. military conflicts worldwide.
Ro Khanna argued that if the United States stops its backing of Saudi Arabia in Yemen's civil war, finally ends the war in Afghanistan, withdraws troops from Syria once and for all, resists temptations by some to get militarily involved in Venezuela, and completes successful peace negotiations with North Korea, then the United States could better invest resources wasted abroad into rebuilding America's infrastructure.
"Here's my message: We probably all agree that our primary responsibility is to make sure that America and our values lead the 21st century," Khanna said when asked what his message is to the millions of Trump supporters who read Breitbart News, people who may find it odd that a Democrat is open to working with Trump on at least some things:
Our biggest competitor in my view is probably China in terms of who's going to win the 21st century. Is it going to be a free enterprise democracy with America, or is it going to be an authoritarian country like China? China has not been in a war since 1979. They are putting all their resources into building good will with other countries and into developing their airports, their bridges, their universities, their Artificial Intelligence. Why are we involved in wars that are not winnable that are costing us resources that are strategic in winning the 21st century? Instead of all the trillions of dollars that we have spent on these wars, imagine if we built our infrastructure, if we invested in our people, if we helped build our country to make sure that we win in the 21st century. I think that is a message that every American regardless of whether you voted for President Trump or whether you voted for a Democratic member of Congress can get behind because it's for the national purpose and when it comes to winning in the 21st century I think we're all on the same team.
In the hyper-partisan era that is the Trump administration, Khanna has emerged as a unique voice in the Democrat Party. While he is certainly a progressive Democrat and harsh critic of the president and his administration on many things, he is also someone who is willing to work with Trump in places where he agrees with the president - particularly on ending wars he, like many in the grassroots of both sides of the aisle, view as endless.
Khanna definitely has credibility on both sides of the aisle and is able to work seamlessly with voices as diverse as House Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and newly elected socialist firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). In fact, the night before this interview with Breitbart News a little over a week ago, Ocasio-Cortez praised Khanna on her Twitter account - a tweet highlighted by 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.

'War on Terror' Loses Focus, US Empire Now Picking Fights With Everyone
Is this the Age of Anxiety? The Age of Stupidity? The Age of Hybrid War? Or all of the above?
As right populism learns to use algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and media convergence, the Empire of Chaos, in parallel, is unleashing all-out hybrid and semiotic war.
Dick Cheney's Global War on Terror (GWOT) is back, metastasized as a hybrid mongrel.
But GWOT would not be GWOT without a Wild West scarecrow. Enter Hamza bin Laden, son of Osama. On the same day the State Department announced a $1 million bounty on his head, the so- called "UN Security Council IS and Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee" declared Hamza the next al-Qaeda leader.
Since January 2017, Hamza has been a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the State Department - on par with his deceased Dad, back in the early 2000s. The Beltway intel community "believes" Hamza resides "in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region."
Remember these are the same people who "believed" former Taliban leader Mullah Omar resided in Quetta, Baluchistan, when in fact he was safely ensconced only a few miles away from a massive U.S. military base in Zabul, Afghanistan.
Considering that Jabhat al-Nusra, or al-Qaeda in Syria, for all practical purposes, was defined as no more than "moderate rebels" by the Beltway intel community, it's safe to infer that new scarecrow Hamza is also a "moderate". And yet he's more dangerous than vanished fake Caliph Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi. Talk about a masterful example of culture jamming.
A hefty case can be made that the Empire of Chaos currently has no allies; it's essentially surrounded by an assortment of vassals, puppets and comprador 5th columnist elites professing varied degrees of - sometimes reluctant - obedience.
The Trump administration's foreign policy may be easily deconstructed as a crossover between The Sopranos and late-night comedy - as in the whole episode of designating State Department/CIA regime change, lab experiment Random Dude as President of Venezuela. Legendary cultural critic Walter Benjamin would have called it "the aestheticization of politics," (turning politics into art), as he did about the Nazis, but this time it's the Looney Tunes version.
To add to the conceptual confusion, despite countless "an offer you can't refuse" antics unleashed by psychopaths of the John Bolton and Mike Pompeo variety, there's this startling nugget. Former Iranian diplomat Amir Moussavi has revealed that Trump himself demanded to visit Tehran, and was duly rebuffed. "Two European states, two Arab countries and one Southeast Asian state" were mediating a series of messages relayed by Trump and his son-in-law Jared "of Arabia" Kushner, according to Moussavi.
Is there a method to this madness? An attempt at a Grand Narrative would go something like this: ISIS/Daesh may have been sidelined - for now; they are not useful anymore, so the U.S. must fight the larger "evil": Tehran. GWOT has been revived, and though Hamza bin Laden has been designated the new Caliph, GWOT has shifted to Iran.

US Intelligence wants to use your face to train AI systems
The US government research unit serving Intelligence agencies is looking to expand its ability to monitor thousands of people at once, with a new request for companies, cities, and the academic sector to help compile a massive video dataset.
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) team, which falls under the purview of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), posted the solicitation to a federal contracting database.
Artificial-Intelligence algorithms like the ones the government wants to train require large amounts of data to be accurate.
"Further research in the area of computer vision within multi-camera networks may support post-event crime scene reconstruction, protection of critical infrastructure and transportation facilities, military force protection, and in the operations of National Special Security Events," the IARPA posting explains.

The Dangers of Government-Funded Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is widely seen as a strategic technology and has thus engendered national development plans from countries across the globe to promote its progress. For quite some time, the United States has been conspicuously on the sideline. The American AI research community has, by and large, bemoaned the lack of Federal leadership in this space with many calling for a Kennedy-esque "moonshot" plan to come out of Washington to cement American leadership in the AI space. This past month, the Trump White House released the Executive Order on Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence to provide direction and support for technological advancement in this space.
The response to the EO from the research community has been muted at best. Far from receiving the requested moonshot with the requisite funding and supporting agencies, this EO mostly lays out principles for AI development to be followed by Federal departments. It directs agencies towards prioritization of AI by using existing funds and to seek out collaboration efforts. Further, it directs the National Science and Technology Council Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence (among other agencies) to draw up plans and coordinate efforts among Federal agencies to develop grants, project proposals, and reports to be written on areas of development and collaboration within the next 180 days. Beyond that, there is very little concrete action laid out in the EO, which is why it has been criticized so heavily by those in the research community.
In other words, the research community apparently feels the EO doesn't go far enough.
In truth, however, even this limited EO goes much too far.

By Working Together, We Can Win Against Hate
Facebook·Saturday, 30 March 2019
By Sheryl Sandberg - Chief Operating Officer at Facebook
The terrorist attacks in Christchurch were an act of pure evil. All of us at Facebook stand with the victims, their families, the Muslim community, and all of New Zealand. It is deeply tragic when people face violence because of who they are and what they believe. Over the past two weeks, the whole world has seen the compassion, unity, and resilience you have shown as a country through your grief.
Many of you have also rightly questioned how online platforms such as Facebook were used to circulate horrific videos of the attack. We are committed to reviewing what happened and have been working closely with the New Zealand Police to support their response. In the immediate aftermath, we took down the terrorist's Facebook and Instagram accounts, removed the video of the attack, and used Artificial Intelligence to proactively find and prevent related videos from being posted. We have heard feedback that we must do more - and we agree. In the wake of the terrorist attack, we are taking three steps: strengthening the rules for using Facebook Live, taking further steps to address hate on our platforms, and supporting the New Zealand community.
First, we are exploring restrictions on who can go Live depending on factors such as prior Community Standard violations. We are also investing in research to build better technology to quickly identify edited versions of violent videos and images and prevent people from re-sharing these versions. While the original New Zealand attack video was shared Live, we know that this video spread mainly through people re-sharing it and re-editing it to make it harder for our systems to block it; we have identified more than 900 different videos showing portions of those horrifying 17 minutes. People with bad intentions will always try to get around our security measures. That's why we must work to continually stay ahead. In the past week, we have also made changes to our review process to help us improve our response time to videos like this in the future.
Second, we are taking even stronger steps to remove hate on our platforms. We have long had policies against hate groups and hate speech. We designated both shootings as terror attacks, meaning that any praise, support and representation of the events violates our Community Standards and is not permitted on Facebook. We are also using our existing Artificial Intelligence tools to identify and remove a range of hate groups in Australia and New Zealand, including the Lads Society, the United Patriots Front, the Antipodean Resistance, and National Front New Zealand. These groups will be banned from our services, and we will also remove praise and support of these groups when we become aware of it. And just this week we announced that we have strengthened our policies by banning praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism on Facebook and Instagram.
Finally, we are standing by the people of New Zealand and providing support to four local well-being and mental health organisations to raise awareness around their services within the country. We are also working with our existing youth partner to co-design additional education around peer support and resilience. Through everything, we remain ready to work with the New Zealand Government's Royal Commission to further review the role that online services play in these types of attacks more widely. We are also ready to work with the New Zealand Government on future regulatory models for the online industry in areas like content moderation, elections, privacy, and data portability.
We know there is more work to do. We are deeply committed to strengthening our policies, improving our technology and working with experts to keep Facebook safe. We must all stand united against hate and work together to fight it wherever and whenever it occurs.

Using AI to Build Better Human-Machine Teams
Program seeks to demonstrate the basic machine social skills needed to generate effective human-machine collaborations
The inability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to represent and model human partners is the single biggest challenge preventing effective human-machine teaming today. Current AI agents are able to respond to commands and follow through on instructions that are within their training, but are unable to understand intentions, expectations, emotions, and other aspects of social Intelligence that are inherent to their human counterparts. This lack of understanding stymies efforts to create safe, efficient, and productive human-machine collaboration.
"As humans, we are able to infer unobservable states, such as situational beliefs and goals, and use those to predict the subsequent actions, reactions, or needs of another individual," said Dr. Joshua Elliott, a program manager in DARPA's Information Innovation Office (I2O). "Machines need to be able to do the same if we expect them to collaborate with us in a useful and effective way or serve as trusted members of a team."
Teaching machines social Intelligence however is no small feat. Humans intuitively build mental models of the world around them that include approximations of the mental models of other humans - a skill called Theory of Mind (ToM). Humans use their ToM skill to infer the mental states of their teammates from observed actions and context, and are able to predict future actions based on those inferences. These models are built on each individual's existing sets of experiences, observations, and beliefs. Within a team setting, humans build shared mental models by aligning around key aspects of their environment, team, and strategies. ToM and shared mental models are key elements of human social Intelligence that work together to enable effective human collaboration.
DARPA's Artificial Social Intelligence for Successful Teams (ASIST) program seeks to develop foundational AI theory and systems that demonstrate the basic machine social skills necessary to facilitate effective machine-human collaboration. ASIST aims to create AI agents that demonstrate a Machine ToM, as well as the ability to participate effectively in a team by observing and understanding their environment and human partners, developing useful context-aware actions, and executing those actions at appropriate times

The US Military Is Creating the Future of Employee Monitoring
We are putting these into a construct so that we can detect minute changes in behavior across an entire pattern of life, so that we can detect stress.
A new AI-enabled pilot project aims to sense "micro changes" in the behavior of people with top-secret clearances. If it works, it could be the future of corporate HR.
The U.S. military has the hardest job in human resources: evaluating hundreds of thousands of people for their ability to protect the nation's secrets. Central to that task is a question at the heart of all labor relations: how do you know when to extend trust or take it away?
The office of the Defense Security Service, or DSS, believes Artificial Intelligence and machine learning can help. Its new pilot project aims to sift and apply massive amounts of data on people who hold or are seeking security clearances. The goal is not just to detect employees who have betrayed their trust, but to predict which ones might - allowing problems to be resolved with calm conversation rather than punishment.
If the pilot proves successful, it could provide a model for the future of corporate HR. But the concept also affords employers an unprecedented window into the digital lives of their workers, broaching new questions about the relationship between employers, employees, and information in the age of big data and AI.
The pilot is based on an urgent need. Last June, the Defense Department took over the task of working through the security clearance backlog - more than 600,000 people. Some people - and the organizations that want to hire them - wait more than a year, according to a September report from the National Background Investigations Bureau. Those delays stem from an antiquated system that involves mailing questionnaires to former places of employment, sometimes including summer jobs held during an applicant's adolescence, waiting (and hoping) for a response, and scanning the returned paper document into a mainframe database of the sort that existed before cloud computing.

China spying on us using gay app?
Gay dating app Grindr declared threat to military personnel by US government
A Chinese gaming company has decided to sell the popular LGBTQ dating app Grindr LLC after a U.S. national security panel declared the app to be a threat to service members, Reuters first reported.
Beijing Kunlun Tech Co Ltd, which has owned the California-based dating app since 2016, decided to sever ties at the behest of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, which pointed to major concerns over personal data of app users - notably military and Intelligence personnel - being made publicly available.
Grindr, which labels itself "the largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people," came under intense heat last year when it was revealed that the app was releasing the HIV statuses of users without their permission.
The app had 27 million users as of 2017, Reuters reported.
Currently, the app's privacy policy allows for the data collection of a user's location, messages and HIV status, the report said.
The decision of CFIUS to intervene in Grindr's business operations signals increasing doubt on the part of U.S. officials in the ability of Chinese businesses to keep sensitive information of Americans secret.
In recent years, the panel also blocked the sale of the money transfer company MoneyGram to Chinese business owners, the report said.
The Trump administration has been at the forefront of scrutinizing Chinese cyber practices.
Earlier this month, President Trump accused Google in a tweet of "helping China and their military, but not the U.S."
Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Google's Artificial Intelligence venture in China and other U.S. companies' business in the country indirectly benefit the Chinese military and create a challenge for the United States as it seeks to maintain a competitive advantage.
"CFIUS made the right decision in unwinding Grindr's acquisition," U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey commented in a statement acknowledging CFIUS' intervention of the app.
"It should continue to draw a line in the sand for future foreign acquisition of sensitive personal data."
A spokesman for CFIUS said the national security panel does not comment on public cases like Grindr, according to Reuters.

Alexa's creator says it needs to explore the world to be truly smart
Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant, hasn't had a bad start in life. In part due to Amazon's seemingly perpetual sale on all things Echo, Alexa has found its way into an awful lot of homes, but you don't have to live with it for very long to bump up against its obvious limitations.
The father of Alexa, Amazon's vice president and head scientist of Alexa Artificial Intelligence, Rohit Prasad, dropped an interesting hint of how these limitations could be lifted at MIT Technology Review's EmTech Digital AI conference in San Francisco. "The only way to make smart assistants really smart is to give it eyes and let it explore the world," he said.
Of course Alexa already has eyes of sorts in some devices - the Echo Show devices with cameras, for example. So what's next? Prasad didn't elaborate on that, but it's hard not to see it as an ambition - however far fetched it appears at the moment - to give Alexa a robot body, making it a virtual assistant that can not just tell you things, but move around and perhaps one day perform simple tasks.
That matches up with rumours of Amazon's long-term plans for Alexa. A report from Bloomberg last year discussed a ((("top-secret" internal project codenamed Vesta, being developed by Lab126, Amazon's hardware R&D centre))). The report discussed prototypes that could navigate from room to room autonomously, like driverless cars. Only smaller.

Scientists Begin Teaching AI Robots To Evolve & Reproduce
Evolutionary roboticists have decided to begin teaching Artificial Intelligence powered robots to evolve and reproduce. Why should humans go to the trouble of building more robots when a robot could do it instead?
According to Futurism, this is known as high-tech Darwinism. The researchers' ultimate goal is to design Artificial Intelligence and robots that can analyze their own source code and mate with others by combining bits and pieces of their code with that of other robots. This would to create "offspring," much like organic life, Futurism reported. But it isn't actually anything like organic life, actually. But evolutionary roboticists who have this new goal have high-tech Darwinism to the extreme. Apparently, just like biological life evolves to fill ecological niches, these robots' offspring might be better adapted to their environments that their architects specifically built them for.
An interesting future awaits once high-tech Darwinism becomes successful. And Wired reported that some scientists are well on their way to making this technology a reality.
Computer scientists at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam built a simplified system that shows how future robots might swap and combine their "genetic" information.
Their recent research, published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence and which involved programming two parent robots to code a new "offspring," found that the resulting offspring contain a mixture of the parents' code as well as some modules that seemed to have mutated or been blended on its own. -Futurism
David Howard, one of the scientists on the project, told Wired that there's a positive spin to all of this. "It gives you a lot of diversity, and it gives you the power to explore areas of a design space that you wouldn't normally go into." But others see this as a way to permanently force human beings into extinction. "One of the things that makes natural evolution powerful is the idea that it can really specialize a creature to an environment," Howard told Wired.
But natural evolution doesn't sound anything like robot evolution. Humans are making themselves obsolete and our two cents is that this will not end well for humanity.

Anons digging on Netflix, neuropsychfags, AI-fags might find this one interesting:
"Julie Pitt, head of machine-learning infrastructure at Netflix, discovered Friston and the free energy principle in 2014, and it transformed her thinking. (Pitt's Twitter bio reads, "I infer my own actions by way of Active Inference.") Outside of her work at Netflix, she's been exploring applications of the principle in a side project called Order of Magnitude Labs. Pitt says that the beauty of the free energy model is that it allows an Artificial agent to act in any environment, even one that's new and unknown. Under the old reinforcement-learning model, you'd have to keep stipulating new rules and sub-rewards to get your agent to cope with a complex world. But a free energy agent always generates its own intrinsic reward: the minimization of surprise. And that reward, Pitt says, includes an imperative to go out and explore."
Anyone familiar with Order of Magnitude Labs?

Facebook bans all praise of "white nationalism" and "white separatism"
Facebook has announced that it will ban content relating to 'white nationalism' and 'white separatism' from its platform. The nature of the content that will be banned raises some free speech concerns, RT.com writes.
Facebook's hate speech policies already forbid any content praising or promoting "white supremacy." The company has, until now, drawn a distinction between this content and "white nationalism" and "white separatism," much to the ire of civil rights activists, who argue that the terms are interchangeable.
"Going forward," the company announced in a blog post on Wednesday, "while people will still be able to demonstrate pride in their ethnic heritage, we will not tolerate praise or support for white nationalism and separatism."
White nationalism and white separatism are hazy concepts. Facebook initially considered them in the same category of Basque separatism in Spain, the Zionist movement, or Malcolm X-style black separatism. However, the latest decision seems to place explicitly white movements into a category of their own.As of next week, users attempting to post such content will be redirected to Life After Hate, a nonprofit staffed by former extremists that seek to turn young people away from white supremacy. The new policy will apply to both Facebook and Instagram.
Enforcing the ban will likely prove controversial, especially in the United States where Facebook has been accused of a pervasive anti-conservative bias. Phrases like "I am a proud white nationalist" and "Immigration is tearing this country apart; white separatism is the only answer" will now be banned, the company told Motherboard. Less explicit and "coded"references will be removed on a case-by-case basis, an opaque policy that will surely draw accusations of misuse.
Behind the scenes, most of the content sifting will be done using Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, Facebook said on Wednesday.
Facebook's clampdown on the extreme right comes less than two weeks after gunman Brenton Tarrant murdered 50 worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Tarrant livestreamed his rampage on Facebook, and the social media giant was criticized for failing to take down reposts of the video quick enough in the days afterward.
Tarrant's murder spree, inspired by a blend of white supremacist and fascist ideologies, prompted New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Arden to issue a "global call" to fight the "ideology" of racism, particularly online.

UEFI
First, they did away with the BIOS (which admittedly was pretty awful) and replaced it with UEFI–a very complex and often poorly implemented layer that has its own drivers, network stack, etc. It has it's own operating system, and all of this runs at "ring -2" on the CPU so your software and OS (ring 0), and even your hypervisor (ring -1), can't see it but it has full access to everything in the system, including active memory.
And yes, it turns out you can exploit the UEFI stack and own the system:

Q Research General #7598: Someday I Will Tell you the Secret! Edition
Facebook extends hate speech ban to include white nationalism
Facebook announced Wednesday it is broadening its definition of banned hate speech and taking action against white nationalism and white separatism. The social media giant said that those concepts are linked to organized hate groups and, "have no place on our services." Facebook had previously banned posts endorsing white supremacy.
The move comes less than two weeks after a white supremacist live-streamed his deadly attack at a New Zealand mosque. Facebook hopes its new policy will help prevent the promotion of hateful content, reports CBS News' Jeff Pegues.
Starting next week, Facebook and Instagram will ban "praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism," saying "it's clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups."
"There was a huge gaping hole that allowed violent white supremacists, and neo-Nazis and racists to exploit the Facebook platform," said civil rights attorney Kristen Clarke.
Self-avowed white nationalists used Facebook to organize the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville where James Fields ran down and killed a counter-protester in 2017. He pleaded guilty to committing a hate crime Wednesday. Facebook said it has been cracking down on hate speech. Last year, the company says it took action on nearly eight million pieces of content that violated its rules.
"The volume need not stop them from doing their job and doing their part to make sure that they're standing up to hate," Clarke said. "It is so critical that we get Facebook and other companies across the tech sector to do their part. We must hold them accountable."
On Wednesday, Facebook acknowledged it needs "to get better and faster at finding and removing hate from our platforms." It says the Artificial Intelligence it uses to find material from terrorist groups will now be used for a broad range of hate groups.
YouTube and Twitter both say their user agreements also prohibit violent and hateful content.

POTUS says Google CEO Sundar Pichai told him he is 'totally committed to the U.S. military'
US President Donald Trump tweeted that he met with Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Thursday.
"Just met with Sundar Pichai, President of Google, who is obviously doing quite well. He state strongly that he is totally committed to the U.S. military, not the Chinese Military…" Trump tweeted.
In a second tweet, Trump said that the two also "discussed political fairness and various things that Google can do for our Country. Meeting ended very well!"
News that Pichai would be speaking with the president had not been announced before the tweet.
According to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday, Pichai was set to meet with top military official, Gen. Joseph Dunford, whose comment about Google's Artificial-Intelligence work in China "indirectly benefit[ing] the Chinese military" initiated the discussion.
A Google spokesperson told Business Insider on Wednesday: "We were pleased to have productive conversations with the President about investing in the future of the American workforce, the growth of emerging technologies and our ongoing commitment to working with the U.S. government."
Last week Google denied working with the Chinese military after a tweet from Trump accused it of doing so.

Ethical question takes center stage at Silicon Valley summit on Artificial Intelligence
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Technology executives were put on the spot at an Artificial Intelligence summit this week, each faced with a simple question growing out of increased public scrutiny of Silicon Valley: 'When have you put ethics before your business interests?'
A Microsoft Corp executive pointed to how the company considered whether it ought to sell nascent facial recognition technology to certain customers, while a Google executive spoke about the company's decision not to market a face ID service at all. The big news at the summit, in San Francisco, came from Google, which announced it was launching a council of public policy and other external experts to make recommendations on AI ethics to the company. The discussions at EmTech Digital, run by the MIT Technology Review, underscored how companies are making a bigger show of their moral compass.
At the summit, activists critical of Silicon Valley questioned whether big companies could deliver on promises to address ethical concerns. The teeth the companies' efforts have may sharply affect how governments regulate the firms in the future. "It is really good to see the community holding companies accountable," David Budden, research engineering team lead at Alphabet Inc's DeepMind, said of the debates at the conference. "Companies are thinking of the ethical and moral implications of their work." Kent Walker, Google's senior vice president for global affairs, said the internet giant debated whether to publish research on automated lip-reading. While beneficial to people with disabilities, it risked helping authoritarian governments surveil people, he said.
Ultimately, the company found the research was "more suited for person to person lip-reading than surveillance so on that basis decided to publish" the research, Walker said. The study was published last July. Kebotix, a Cambridge, Massachusetts startup seeking to use AI to speed up the development of new chemicals, used part of its time on stage to discuss ethics. Chief Executive Jill Becker said the company reviews its clients and partners to guard against misuse of its technology.
Still, Rashida Richardson, director of policy research for the AI Now Institute, said little around ethics has changed since Amazon.com Inc, Facebook Inc, Microsoft and others launched the nonprofit Partnership on AI to engage the public on AI issues. "There is a real imbalance in priorities" for tech companies, Richardson said. Considering "the amount of resources and the level of acceleration that's going into commercial products, I don't think the same level of investment is going into making sure their products are also safe and not discriminatory." Google's Walker said the company has some 300 people working to address issues such as racial bias in algorithms but the company has a long way to go. "Baby steps is probably a fair characterization," he said.

Google announces AI ethics panel
Google has launched a global advisory council to offer guidance on ethical issues relating to Artificial Intelligence, automation and related technologies. The panel consists of eight people and includes former US deputy secretary of state, and a University of Bath associate professor. The group will "consider some of Google's most complex challenges", the firm said. The panel was announced at MIT Technology Review's EmTech Digital, a conference organised the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Google has come under intense criticism - internally and externally - over how it plans to use emerging technologies. In June 2018 the company said it would not renew a contract it had with the Pentagon to develop AI technology to control drones. Project Maven, as it was known, was unpopular among Google's staff, and prompted some resignations. In response, Google published a set of AI "principles" it said it would abide by. They included pledges to be "socially beneficial' and "accountable to people".
The Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC) will meet for the first time in April. In a blog post, Google's head of global affairs, Kent Walker, said there would be three further meetings in 2019. Google has published a full list of the panel's members. It includes leading mathematician Bubacarr Bah, former US deputy secretary of state William Joseph Burns, and Joanna Bryson, who teaches computer sciences at the University of Bath, UK. It will discuss recommendations about how to use technologies such as facial recognition. Last year, Google's then-head of cloud computing, Diane Greene, described facial recognition tech as having "inherent bias" due to a lack of diverse data.
In a highly-cited thesis entitled Robots Should Be Slaves, Ms Bryson argued against the trend of treating robots like people. "In humanising them," she wrote, "we not only further dehumanise real people, but also encourage poor human decision making in the allocation of resources and responsibility." In 2018 she argued that complexity should not be used as an excuse to not properly inform the public of how AI systems operate. "When a system using AI causes damage, we need to know we can hold the human beings behind that system to account."

The ruling would be legally binding but could be appealed to a human judge
Would preside over disputes of less than ?7,000 (£6,000/$8,000)

Estonia is building an Artificial Intelligence powered robo-judge that will rule over a backlog of small court cases.
It will be fed legal documents and analyse them before coming to a decision based on its pre-programmed algorithms and training.
The 'robot judge' would preside over disputes of less than ?7,000 (£6,000/$8,000) and free up more time for humans to work on bigger cases.
Any ruling would be legally binding but could be appealed to a human judge.
The project and technology is still in its infancy and no set date has been announced for its roll-out, but the larger AI project it is part of will announce its results in May.
Estonia is leading the way in embracing technology and digitising despite having only 1.4 million citizens.
Details and protocols are still being thrashed out by its developers and revisions would likely be made following advice from legal professionals.
Ott Velsberg, the country's chief data officer, told Wired: 'We want the government to be as lean as possible.'
Mr Velsberg is currently completing his PhD at Sweden's Umeå University on the use of AI in government services.
He said: 'Some people worry that if we lower the number of civil employees, the quality of service will suffer. But the AI agent will help us.
Estonia is well placed for embracing robotics as it already employs a national ID card system, e-voting and digital tax filing.
The country's economic ministry is also considering granting AI and robots a legal status that would make them 'robot agents'.
It would sit somewhere between having a 'separate legal personality', like a corporation, and being an object that is someone else's 'personal property'.
The legislation could help determine who is responsible when AI-controlled vehicles or machinery are involved in an accident.
Siim Sikkut, the official in charge of the government's IT strategy, said the move would come with several advantages.

Google launches global council to advise on AI and tech ethics
REUTERS/Hannibal Hanschke
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's Google said on Tuesday it was launching a global advisory council to consider ethical issues around Artificial Intelligence and other emerging technologies.
The council, which is slated to publish a report at the end of 2019, includes technology experts, digital ethicists, and people with public policy backgrounds, Kent Walker, Google's senior vice president for global affairs, said at a Massachusetts Institute of Technology conference.
The group is meant to provide recommendations for Google and other companies and researchers working in areas such as facial recognition software, a form of automation that has prompted concerns about racial bias and other limitations.
"We want to have the most informed and thoughtful conversations we can," Walker said on stage at the MIT Technology Review event in San Francisco. "We want to sit down with the council and see what agenda they want to set."
Google already has its own internal AI principles, which, among other provisions, bars the California-based tech firm from using AI to develop weapons.
The eight-member Advanced Technology External Advisory Council includes Joanna Bryson, an associate professor in computing at the University of Bath; William J. Burns, a former U.S. deputy secretary of state, and Dyan Gibbens, chief executive of Houston-based drone startup Trumbull, according to a Google blog post.
The council will meet four times, beginning in April, the blog post said.

As right populism learns to use algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and media convergence, the Empire of Chaos, in parallel, is unleashing all-out hybrid and semiotic war.
Dick Cheney's Global War on Terror (GWOT) is back, metastasized as a hybrid mongrel.
But GWOT would not be GWOT without a Wild West scarecrow. Enter Hamza bin Laden, son of Osama. On the same day the State Department announced a $1 million bounty on his head, the so- called "UN Security Council IS and Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee" declared Hamza the next al-Qaeda leader.
Since January 2017, Hamza has been a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the State Department - on par with his deceased Dad, back in the early 2000s. The Beltway intel community "believes" Hamza resides "in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region."
Remember these are the same people who "believed" former Taliban leader Mullah Omar resided in Quetta, Baluchistan, when in fact he was safely ensconced only a few miles away from a massive U.S. military base in Zabul, Afghanistan.
Considering that Jabhat al-Nusra, or al-Qaeda in Syria, for all practical purposes, was defined as no more than "moderate rebels" by the Beltway intel community, it's safe to infer that new scarecrow Hamza is also a "moderate". And yet he's more dangerous than vanished fake Caliph Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi. Talk about a masterful example of culture jamming.

The top US general will meet with Google next week to discuss the 'second and third order of effects' for the company's business efforts in China
Associated Press
Mar. 22, 2019, 3:05 PM
The top US military officer will meet with Google representatives next week amid growing concerns that American companies doing business in China are helping its military gain ground on the US.
Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that efforts like Google's Artificial Intelligence venture in China allow the Chinese military to access and take advantage of US-developed technology.
"This is not about me and Google," Dunford said, in part. "This is about us looking at the second and third order of effects of our business ventures in China."
In a statement last week Google said it is not working with the Chinese military, but that its AI activities in China are focused on "education, research on natural language understanding and market algorithms, and development of globally available tools."
The top US military officer will meet with Google representatives next week amid growing concerns that American companies doing business in China are helping its military gain ground on the US.
Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that efforts like Google's Artificial Intelligence venture in China allow the Chinese military to access and take advantage of US-developed technology.
"This is not about me and Google," Dunford told an audience at the Atlantic Council. "This is about us looking at the second and third order of effects of our business ventures in China, Chinese form of government, and the impact it's going to have on the United States' ability to maintain a competitive military advantage."
Google says its AI activities in China are focused on "education, research on natural language understanding and market algorithms, and development of globally available tools."
In a statement last week Google said it is not working with the Chinese military. And the company said that it continues to work with the US government, including the Defense Department, in many areas, including cybersecurity, recruiting and healthcare.
Dunford's comments reflect widespread US government worries that any information or data an American company has or uses as it does business in China is automatically available to the Chinese government and its military.
US companies in China are required to have a cell of the communist party present, said Dunford, adding, "that will lead to that intellectual property from that company finding its way to the Chinese military."
Last week he and acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan expressed similar concerns during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," Dunford said during the hearing. "And frankly, indirect may be not a full characterization of the way it really is. It's more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."
Shanahan also noted that Google is stepping away from some Pentagon contracts.
Internal protests by workers at Google led the tech company to say last year that it is dropping out of Project Maven, which uses algorithms to interpret drone video images from conflict zones. Employees had complained that Google was helping with technology that could improve lethal targeting.
Shanahan told senators that $5 trillion of China's economy is state-owned enterprises, "so the technology that is developed in the civilian world transfers to the military world. It's a direct pipeline. Not only is there a transfer, there's also systemic theft of US technology that also facilitates even faster development of emerging technology."
As a result, Shanahan said the US military needs to continue to invest in Artificial Intelligence, adding that funding would double in the proposed 2020 budget.
The Joint Staff did not release details on the timing of Dunford's meeting next week or who would be attending from Google.

Will Artificial Intelligence End Up Being Really Stupid?
The pro-AI hype surrounding it offers human-level Intelligence, but the reality may be far less. AI may find narrow areas of application, but no amount of knowledge can lead to wisdom. ? TN Editor
It's hard to go anywhere these days without coming across some mention of Artificial Intelligence (AI). You hear about it, you read about it and it's hard to find a presentation deck (on any subject) that doesn't mention it. There is no doubt there is a lot of hype around the subject.
While the hype does increase awareness of AI, it also facilitates some pretty silly activities and can distract people from much of the real progress being made. Disentangling the reality from the more dramatic headlines promises to provide significant advantages for investors, business people and consumers alike.
Artificial Intelligence has gained its recent notoriety in large part due to high profile successes such as IBM's Watson winning at Jeopardy and Google's AlphaGo beating the world champion at the game "Go". Waymo, Tesla and others have also made great strides with self-driving vehicles. The expansiveness of AI applications was captured by Richard Waters in the Financial Times [here}: "If there was a unifying message underpinning the consumer technology on display [at the Consumer Electronics Show] ... it was: 'AI in everything'."

Report: Google Will Meet with Top U.S. General to Discuss China
Google is reportedly set to meet with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, next week to discuss Google's work with China in the development of Artificial Intelligence.
According to Bloomberg, Dunford is "tentatively scheduled" to "meet next week with a senior Google official in Washington, at Google's request."
This month, Dunford claimed Google "indirectly benefits the Chinese military," and the General reportedly plans to question Google over the matter.
"In my judgment, us assisting the Chinese military in advancing technology is not in U.S. national interests," Dunford proclaimed. "So it's a debate we have to have."

Q Research General #7453: Baker Assist Faggotry Debate Edition
Top US General to Meet With Google on China Security Worries
WASHINGTON-The top U.S. military officer will meet with Google representatives next week amid growing concerns that American companies doing business in China are helping its military gain ground on the United States. Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on March 20 that efforts like Google's Artificial Intelligence venture in China allow the Chinese military to access and take advantage of U.S.-developed technology.
"This is not about me and Google," Dunford told an audience at the Atlantic Council. "This is about us looking at the second and third order of effects of our business ventures in China, Chinese form of government, and the impact it's going to have on the United States' ability to maintain a competitive military advantage." Google says its AI activities in China are focused on"education, research on natural language understanding and market algorithms, and development of globally available tools."
In a statement last week, Google said it is not working with the Chinese military. And the company said that it continues to work with the U.S. government, including the Defense Department, in many areas, including cybersecurity, recruiting and healthcare. Dunford's comments reflect widespread U.S. government worries that any information or data an American company has or uses as it does business in China is automatically available to the Chinese regime and its military. U.S. companies in China are required to have a cell of the communist party present, said Dunford, adding, "that will lead to that intellectual property from that company finding its way to the Chinese military."
Last week he and acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan expressed similar concerns during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. "We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," Dunford said during the hearing. "And frankly, indirect may be not a full characterization of the way it really is. It's more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military." Shanahan also noted that Google is stepping away from some Pentagon contracts.
Internal protests by workers at Google led the tech company to say last year that it is dropping out of Project Maven, which uses algorithms to interpret drone video images from conflict zones. Employees had complained that Google was helping with technology that could improve lethal targeting. Shanahan told senators that $5 trillion of China's economy is state-owned enterprises, "so the technology that is developed in the civilian world transfers to the military world. It's a direct pipeline. Not only is there a transfer, there's also systemic theft of U.S. technology that also facilitates even faster development of emerging technology." As a result, Shanahan said the U.S. military needs to continue to invest in Artificial Intelligence, adding that funding would double in the proposed 2020 budget. The Joint Staff did not release details on the timing of Dunford's meeting next week or who would be attending from Google.

Artificial Intelligence to drive new BNP Paribas alpha FX index
Bank expects it to be of particular interest to investors seeking low-risk alpha from FX markets
BNP Paribas has launched a systematic currency alpha FX index, driven by Artificial Intelligence, which the bank says will give investors the opportunity to benefit from an uncorrelated stream of returns as part of a diversified cross-asset portfolio.
The index was launched in collaboration with Millennium Global Investments, which will provide BNPP with systematic FX signals on some of the world's most liquid currency pairs on a daily basis. The bank will use these signals to determine long

Top US general to meet with Google on China security worries
WASHINGTON (AP) - The top U.S. military officer will meet with Google representatives next week amid growing concerns that American companies doing business in China are helping its military gain ground on the U.S.
Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that efforts like Google's Artificial Intelligence venture in China allow the Chinese military to access and take advantage of U.S.-developed technology.
"This is not about me and Google," Dunford told an audience at the Atlantic Council. "This is about us looking at the second and third order of effects of our business ventures in China, Chinese form of government, and the impact it's going to have on the United States' ability to maintain a competitive military advantage."

i is for... imagination
One thing that has become clear as machine learning is used more frequently is that machines see the world very differently from us. While humans intuitively absorb knowledge about how the world works from birth, machines have to be specifically taught these rules. But freed from these constraints, they also produce some wild visions that are helping to inspire artists, musicians and filmmakers.
Machine vision researcher and artist Helena Sarin feeds her own drawings to a Gan (see g is for…) which then produces strangely beautiful images like those shown here.

Interscope, PROMIS, MK-Ultra, Heroin, Haiti, DavidGeffen yacht, Standard Hotel, Allison Mack, Jared Leto tied to Haiti & Heroin
What has been confirmed so far:
The Ramseys hired a media consultant (read: spin doctor) named Patrick Korten, who previously worked for both Oliver North and Edwin Meese
Both Lockheed Martin (which acquired Access Graphics in 1991, after Iran-Contra) and Edwin Meese would be involved in a lesser-known scandal that grew out of Iran-Contra called the Inslaw/PROMIS affair. It involved the theft of PROMIS data mining software (which Meese played a role in), and its subsequent alteration by the CIA and its proprietaries (including Lockheed Martin) to merge it with Artificial Intelligence. Also involved in the Inslaw affair was Robert Byrd, a Senator from West Virginia. JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, won Miss West Virginia in 1977 and then attended ribbon cuttings with Gov. Jay Rockefeller and Sen. Byrd.
PROMIS is one aspect of deep politics that ties nearly everyone and everything together: the Reagan and Bush (plus Clinton) DOJs, Oliver North, the CIA, the NSA, Mossad, the October Surprise, Iran-Contra, security contractor Wackenhut (also linked to the Dutroux affair), Robert Byrd, defense contractors (like Lockheed Martin, DynCorp, and SAIC), BCCI, the Arkansas criminal network that gave rise to the Clintons, Vince Foster's death, thwarted air defenses on 9/11, and more.
Abel Danger did extensive research on how Deepstate tried to intimidate John Ramsey to sell his company to Lockheed.
Dave McGowan's book "Programmed to Kill", in the chapter entitled "Boulder", gave a good overview of the theory that JonBenet was ritually abused and murdered at the Christmas party hosted by Fleet White. He also mentions a party 2 days earlier that had a suspicious 911 call, and has not had the guest list released.
A name of the alleged killer and the six others that were involved was named a few weeks ago but has been scrubbed from the net.

Sick of human politicians? 25% of Europeans would prefer AI government
Fully one in four Europeans said they were "somewhat or totally in favor of letting an Artificial Intelligence make important decisions about the running of their country," a number that climbed to one in three for the Netherlands, UK, and Germany, according to a survey by the Center for the Governance of Change, a tech-focused research group from IE University in Spain. The figures remained constant across education levels, gender, and political affiliation, indicating either Europeans are abnormally welcoming of their new robot overlords - or they're sick of their human ones.

Russia racing to complete national AI strategy by June 15
Several of Russia's state organizations are racing to meet a June 15 deadline to create a national strategy that aligns government, military, academic, and private resources to speed the country's development of Artificial Intelligence.
The deadline comes straight from the top: Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the order on Feb. 27, about five weeks after he approved that idea and others offered by the government's Agency for Strategic Initiatives.
Putin also handed his government several other tech-related deadlines:
- July 1: Find ways to stimulate investment in broader areas of technology, including the Internet of Things, robotics, and processing of large data arrays by small and medium-sized businesses.
- Sept. 1: Connect all Russian schools to high-speed internet service. (This date, by the by, will be the two-year anniversary of Putin's famous speech that a country that masters AI will rule the world.)

Something of interest. At GDC 2019, Google announced it's new Stadia system. A ways into the presentation, they speak of Developer tools.
As part of the developer tools, they display a "Style Transfer" system that layers palettes off of templates over the wire frame of the game world visuals.
Key words they use that stand out? You can manipulate this in REAL TIME, in INSTANCES for EACH PLAYER.
With what we know about current "Deep Fake" technology, with what has been surmised about MK Ultra and subliminal control systems, throw the clock speed of current and future super computers (The Exascale Aurora system coming 2021?

Q Research General #7393: When The Sun Goes Down Edition
The Coming Wave Of High-Tech Authoritarianism
One of history's hard lessons is that collapsing financial systems beget authoritarian politics…
Today's world, alas, is following this script, as rising debts lead to wrenching political changes in nearly every country that holds free elections, while fascism and socialism are once again being taken seriously by people who in normal times would inhabit the political center.
But there's one big difference this time around: the advanced state of social control technology. Past governments, when trying to tamp down dissent, were limited to blunt-instrument policies like curfews, phone taps and press shutdowns. Today's would-be Big Brothers can do vastly more, and in many cases will use the coming financial/political emergency as an excuse to place Orwell's proverbial boot on their citizens' necks.
Some examples from a recent Wall Street Journal article titled The Autocrat's New Tool Kit:
Chinese authorities are now using the tools of big data to detect departures from "normal" behavior among Muslims in the country's Xinjiang region-and then to identify each supposed deviant for further state attention.
The Egyptian government plans to relocate from Cairo later this year to a still-unnamed new capital that will have, as the project's spokesman put it, "cameras and sensors everywhere," with "a command center to control the entire city."
Moscow already has some 5,000 cameras installed with facial-recognition technology, and it can match faces of interest to photos from passport databases, police files and social media.
But scary as these things sound, they're crude compared to what's coming. From the same WSJ article:
"Microtargeting" enables governments to build personality assessments of citizens and tailor propaganda for targets' psychological weak spots. Russia's Internet Research Agency reportedly harvested data from Facebook to craft specific messages for individual voters during the 2016 US presidential race. Private firms are developing Artificial Intelligence that can automate this customization for whole populations.
Bots - algorithms that emulate human posters - will soon be indistinguishable from humans online, which is to say capable of denouncing anti-regime activists, attacking rivals and amplifying state messaging in lifelike ways.
Deep fakes. It is now possible to create images, voices and videos that are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Targets will have no way of knowing whether what they're seeing and hearing is real or a government-generated fake.
AI profiling. Artificial Intelligence is learning to extract "attitude, emotion and intent" from our social media posts, giving governments the ability to see dissent coming before it can coalesce into unrest.
Extremely smart cards. Venezuela has introduced its own "carnet de la patria" (fatherland card), a smart-chip-based piece of identification that citizens need to get access to government services such as health care and subsidized food. Human Rights Watch reports that the card may capture voting history as well.
Super-human facial recognition. We're good at recognizing familiar faces. Tomorrow's computer networks will be vastly better. Already, the Chinese have deployed facial-recognition glasses, and are selling the tech in Africa and Europe. Such glasses can be used to help identify criminals like thieves and drug dealers-or to hunt human-rights activists and pro-democracy protesters.
Smart cities. Combine the Internet of Things with Big Data analytics and you get entire cities where cameras cover every outdoor inch and using public services like busses require biometric ID. Some Chinese restaurants already have "smile to pay" systems that interpret facial expressions.

China Is Spending Billions To Dethrone The U.S. In Race For The World's Fastest Supercomputer
China is currently in the midst of a multi-billion dollar investment cycle to upgrade its supercomputer infrastructure in a bid to pass the United States for fastest supercomputer in the world after the United States regained the title for fastest supercomputer in 2018, ending a five-year reign of Chinese dominance.
As SCMP notes, China had been first on the global Top 500 list of supercomputers since the launch of Tianhe-2 in 2013. In June 2018, the U.S. Summit supercomputer bumped China from the number one spot.
As a result, as part of the computer arms race, China is aiming for its newest supercomputers to operate about 50% quicker than the best machines in the United States. Should these aims come to fruition, China would once again take the title of having the world's fastest machine back from the United States.
The next generation Chinese supercomputers will be delivered to the Centre of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing, where the global top 500 rankings for the world's fastest computers are compiled.
Supercomputing is a key metric in determining any nation's technical ability, as these machines are widely used for tasks ranging from weather production to even simulating nuclear explosions. Demand for supercomputing and commercial applications for supercomputing are also on the rise, driven by developments in Artificial Intelligence.
In 2015, President Barack Obama signed an executive order authorizing the creation of the National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI), in order to accelerate the development of supercomputing in the United States.
In the world of supercomputing - an extremely sensitive issue in the ongoing trade and tech war between the US and China - the competition has been narrowed down to the United States and China. Together, the two countries account for a combined 67.2% of the top systems globally. Next in line is Japan, with 6.2% and the United Kingdom at 4%. The rivalry between the US and China has also, to a big degree, been reflected in the trade war between the two companies, especially as Chinese technological advancements continue to accelerate and have prompted a forceful US rebuke to Chinese "technological transfers."

Project Aurora: U.S. government, Intel aim for nation's fastest computer
March 18, 2019 / 2:34 PM / Updated an hour ago
(Reuters) - A U.S. government-led group is working with chipmaker Intel Corp and Cray Inc to develop and build the nation's fastest computer by 2021 for conducting nuclear weapons and other research, officials said on Monday.
The Department of Energy and the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago said they are working on a supercomputer dubbed Aurora with Intel, the world's biggest supplier of data center chips, and Cray, which specializes in the ultra-fast machines.
The $500 million contract for the project calls on the companies to deliver a computer with so-called exaflop performance - that is, being able to perform 1 quintillion - or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 - calculations per second.
If the project succeeds, Aurora would represent nearly an order of magnitude leap over existing machines that feature so-called petaflop performance, capable of doing 1 quadrillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 - calculations a second.
It also heightens the stakes in a race in which the United States, China, the European Union, and Japan have all announced plans to build exaflop-capable supercomputers.
One of Aurora's primary functions would be simulating nuclear blasts, a pillar of weapons development since the ban of live detonation testings.
Aurora will be built with Artificial Intelligence capabilities for projects such as developing better battery materials and helping the Veterans Administration prevent suicides, Rick Stevens, an associate lab director with Argonne overseeing the exascale computing project, said during a news briefing.
The project is a win for Intel, which will supply its Xeon CPU chips and Optane memory chips for Aurora.
Intel has been fending off rival U.S. chipmaker Nvidia Corp's rise in the chip content of supercomputers as the machines take on more Artificial Intelligence work. Nvidia's chips are found in five of the world's current top-10 supercomputers, though the Nvidia chips are found alongside chips from its rivals, according to TOP500, which ranks the machines.
The world's current most powerful machine, the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, contains chips from International Business Machines Corp and Nvidia.
The source of chips for supercomputers has become a factor in trade tensions between the United States and China. The world's third-fastest supercomputer - the Sunway TaihuLight in China - has chips developed domestically in China.
Chirag Dekate, an analyst with Gartner who studies the supercomputing market, said that despite the small contract size relative to Intel's overall revenue, the work done on Aurora will eventually filter down to the company's commercial customers.
"It's not just a jingoistic race between the U.S. and China," Dekate said. "The innovations that Intel is developing here will percolate down to other parts of its business."

'Circular firing squad': John Podesta on Auspol, AI and Adani

Top Clinton aide John Podesta describes Australian politics as a self-referential "circular firing squad" and warns that the country needs to address pressing issues around climate change and Artificial Intelligence, if it is to resist the global rise of far-right populism.
During a visit to Australia and New Zealand, Podesta tells AFR Weekend that the internal unrest within the Liberal Party owed to "real fissures" over social and energy policy, but that personality had played a role.
"It's awesome to behold but probably hell to live through," he says.
John Podesta says Australian government and business need to address potential inequalities created by emerging technologies. Edwina Pickles
Podesta served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton between 1998 and 2001, counsellor to President Barack Obama between 2014 and 2015, and chairman of Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2016.
He is in Sydney as a guest of management consultancy McKinsey and Company, which has published a report on the economic opportunities of automation.
Asked about political backlash to the disruption of the labour force, Podesta says broad-ranging consultation and investment in public education were needed.
"If it's not done in a thoughtful way … things could go in Australia the way they've gone in America," he says.
On the evening of November 8, 2016, it fell on Podesta to inform the Clinton faithful that there would be no further announcements from their candidates that night. The next day, Hillary Clinton conceded the US presidential election to Donald Trump.
Responding to challenges
Podesta says the populist movement that elevated Trump to high office came after a generation of wage stagnation in the United States, and that it was reflective of a global frustration.
John Podesta says there is a "concentration problem" with the giant technology companies. Edwina Pickles
Centrist parties need to respond by building a more sustainable economy with a more equal distribution of income, he says.
That involves attending to wage and labour policy, but also responding to challenges posed by the rise of technology.
Podesta does not explicitly endorse presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren's proposal to break up major technology companies but he says there is a "concentration problem" and that the US needed, at a minimum, to enforce existing anti-trust laws.
He also says that in an age of anti-elite politics, businesses must carefully attend to their social obligations.
Podesta was put in the unenviable position of informing Clinton supporters that Hillary Clinton would not concede on the night of the election. Patrick Semansky
Sitting in the Curtin Room at McKinsey Offices in Sydney, Podesta says nobody at the firm had sought his advice about navigating the politics of its business.
But he says, if they had, he would caution them to be more sensitive to the potential implications of their work on human rights, before engaging a client and not after being exposed by reporting.
Climate change
Media outlets like The New York Times have documented the management consultancy's work with authoritarian regimes in countries like Russia, Ukraine and Saudi Arabia.
"Sometimes it takes a good dose of [journalism] to get people to understand that there is a problem," he says.
Podesta served Bill Clinton as White House chief of staff between 1998 and 2001. WILFREDO LEE
Much of Podesta's time is now spent on climate change, a subject that was central to his 2008 book The Power of Progress and to his work in the Obama White House.
Podesta last made headlines in Australia in 2016, when the release of his personal emails by Wikileaks unearthed a connection to groups opposing the controversial Adani coalmine in Queensland.
The Australian published several articles on a "secretive cabal of foreign-funded green groups".
Asked about the local reaction to his environmental work, Podesta laughs and says he had not known about it but that he would proudly wear it.
"We share one planet. The youth protests are global because the problem is global. It's no longer 'what happens in Canberra stays in Canberra'.
"I don't view that as a global conspiracy … I think the mine would be a mistake and I'm happy to say that on the record."

Hmmmmm?????
Why AI is still terrible at spotting violence online
(CNN)Artificial Intelligence can identify people in pictures, find the next TV series you should binge watch on Netflix, and even drive a car.
But on Friday, when a suspected terrorist in New Zealand streamed live video to Facebook of a mass murder, the technology was of no help. The gruesome broadcast went on for at least 17 minutes until New Zealand police reported it to the social network. Recordings of the video and related posts about it rocketed across social media while companies tried to keep up.
Why can't AI, which is already used by major social networks to help moderate the status updates, photos, and videos users upload, simply be deployed in greater measures to remove such violence as swiftly as it appears?
A big reason is that whether it's hateful written posts, pornography, or violent images or videos, Artificial Intelligence still isn't great at spotting objectional content online. That's largely because, while humans are great at figuring out the context surrounding a status update or YouTube, context is a tricky thing for AI to grasp.

From Sydney, John Podesta on Australian politics.
'Circular firing squad': John Podesta on Auspol, AI and Adani
Top Clinton aide John Podesta describes Australian politics as a self-referential "circular firing squad" and warns that the country needs to address pressing issues around climate change and Artificial Intelligence, if it is to resist the global rise of far-right populism.
During a visit to Australia and New Zealand, Podesta tells AFR Weekend that the internal unrest within the Liberal Party owed to "real fissures" over social and energy policy, but that personality had played a role.
"It's awesome to behold but probably hell to live through," he says.
Podesta served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton between 1998 and 2001, counsellor to President Barack Obama between 2014 and 2015, and chairman of Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2016.
He is in Sydney as a guest of management consultancy McKinsey and Company, which has published a report on the economic opportunities of automation.
Asked about political backlash to the disruption of the labour force, Podesta says broad-ranging consultation and investment in public education were needed.
"If it's not done in a thoughtful way … things could go in Australia the way they've gone in America," he says.
On the evening of November 8, 2016, it fell on Podesta to inform the Clinton faithful that there would be no further announcements from their candidates that night. The next day, Hillary Clinton conceded the US presidential election to Donald Trump.
Responding to challenges
Podesta says the populist movement that elevated Trump to high office came after a generation of wage stagnation in the United States, and that it was reflective of a global frustration.
Centrist parties need to respond by building a more sustainable economy with a more equal distribution of income, he says.
That involves attending to wage and labour policy, but also responding to challenges posed by the rise of technology.
Podesta does not explicitly endorse presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren's proposal to break up major technology companies but he says there is a "concentration problem" and that the US needed, at a minimum, to enforce existing anti-trust laws.
He also says that in an age of anti-elite politics, businesses must carefully attend to their social obligations.
Sitting in the Curtin Room at McKinsey Offices in Sydney, Podesta says nobody at the firm had sought his advice about navigating the politics of its business.
But he says, if they had, he would caution them to be more sensitive to the potential implications of their work on human rights, before engaging a client and not after being exposed by reporting.
Climate change
Media outlets like The New York Times have documented the management consultancy's work with authoritarian regimes in countries like Russia, Ukraine and Saudi Arabia.
"Sometimes it takes a good dose of [journalism] to get people to understand that there is a problem," he says.
Much of Podesta's time is now spent on climate change, a subject that was central to his 2008 book The Power of Progress and to his work in the Obama White House.
Podesta last made headlines in Australia in 2016, when the release of his personal emails by Wikileaks unearthed a connection to groups opposing the controversial Adani coalmine in Queensland.
The Australian published several articles on a "secretive cabal of foreign-funded green groups".
Asked about the local reaction to his environmental work, Podesta laughs and says he had not known about it but that he would proudly wear it.
"We share one planet. The youth protests are global because the problem is global. It's no longer 'what happens in Canberra stays in Canberra'.
"I don't view that as a global conspiracy … I think the mine would be a mistake and I'm happy to say that on the record."

Inside the Ring: Democrats Dominate Artificial Intelligence Commission
A new federal commission on Artificial Intelligence is being led by Democrats.
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (AI), a federally appointed commission, held its first meeting Monday chaired by former Google executive and billionaire Eric Schmidt, a major donor and informal adviser to former President Barack Obama. The commission's vice chairman is Robert Work, who was deputy defense secretary in the Obama administration.
Additionally, the AI commission has hired as a staff member Ylli Bajraktari, a former National Security Council staff member under Mr. Obama. Mr. Bajraktari also was a former aide to Obama Defense Secretary Ash Carter. He and his brother, Ylber Bajraktari, raised concerns about political reliability from some conservatives who questioned why they were kept on in senior positions at the NSC by President Trump's second national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster. A Pentagon spokeswoman had no immediate comment.
Mr. Trump's new defense budget is seeking $927 million for the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center and an advanced image recognition capability. The Pentagon said in a statement that the commission was set up under last year's defense authorization act. Its mission is to review and advise the federal government on Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and other associated technologies and issues related to national security, defense, public-private partnerships and investments. "I'm honored to lead this talented group of commissioners as we take on this important effort," said Mr. Schmidt. "We have a tremendous opportunity to help our government understand the state of Artificial Intelligence and offer ideas on how to harness this transformative technology to benefit both our economic and national security interests." The 15 members of the commission were briefed during the Monday meeting on AI efforts by the Pentagon, the Commerce Department, the Intelligence community and members of Congress. The statement said commissioners were appointed by the secretaries of defense and commerce and Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Mr. Schmidt is listed as a technical adviser to Alphabet, Google's parent company.
Google came under fire from Vice President Mike Pence in October for the company's work with China in developing a censored search engine for the Chinese government that would allow blocking search terms such as "Tiananmen" - the Beijing square where hundreds of pro-democracy protesters were massacred by Chinese troops in 1989. Google executives later said the search engine, called Dragonfly, is a research project and would not be sold to the Chinese. However, insiders from Google recently reported that work on the Chinese censorship software was continuing.

DeepMind Technologies is a British Artificial Intelligence company founded in September 2010, currently owned by Alphabet Inc. The company is based in London, with research centres in Canada,[4] France,[5] and the United States.
Acquired by Google in 2014, the company has created a neural network that learns how to play video games in a fashion similar to that of humans,[6] as well as a Neural Turing machine,[7] or a neural network that may be able to access an external memory like a conventional Turing machine, resulting in a computer that mimics the short-term memory of the human brain.[8][9]
The company made headlines in 2016 after its AlphaGo program beat a human professional Go player Lee Sedol, the world champion, in a five-game match, which was the subject of a documentary film.[10]
A more general program, AlphaZero, beat the most powerful programs playing go, chess and shogi (Japanese chess) after a few days of play against itself using reinforcement learning.[11]

New Facebook A.I. tool strikes at 'revenge' image posts
March 15 (UPI) – Social networking company Facebook said Friday it's rolling out a new Artificial Intelligence tool that can detect and remove images and videos posted online without a certain users' consent.
The company said the tool is intended to prevent "revenge" postings that target specific persons, like an ex-girlfriend or spouse. The tool replaces the manual method previously available, in which users had to physically report instances to Facebook.
The system detects "near nude" content that's passed on to a human moderator for review. One motivation behind the tool is so-called "revenge porn," in which someone publicly posts sexual images of an ex.
"Finding these images goes beyond detecting nudity on our platforms," Facebook Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis said in a statement. "We can now proactively detect near nude images or videos that are shared without permission on Facebook and Instagram.

Top US general says Google 'is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military'
By Ryan Browne, CNN
Updated 5:04 PM ET, Thu March 14, 2019
(CNN)America's top general said Thursday that Google's work in China "is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military."
"The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military and I've been very public on this issue as well," Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said while testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit and frankly indirect may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it's more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military," Dunford added.
Dunford has long questioned why US-based tech firms have resisted working with the Department of Defense while simultaneously doing business with geopolitical competitors like China.

CNN previously reported that Google intended to end its cooperation with the Pentagon on several projects, including the Project Maven program which used Artificial Intelligence to enhance military drone operations following complaints from employees.
The company also recently dropped a bid for a Pentagon cloud storage contract, citing concerns that working with the Defense Department could conflict with its principles.
"The way I described it to our industry partners is: look we're the good guys and the values that we represent and the system we represent is the one that will allow and has allowed you to thrive," Dunford said Thursday.
Google has "a lack of willingness to support DoD programs," acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan also told the committee on Thursday.
He said that China often uses civilian technology to bolster its military forces.
"The technology that is developed in the civil world, transfers to the military world, it's a direct pipeline," Shanahan said.
A spokesperson for Google declined to address Dunford's comments that the company's work was benefiting the Chinese military but told CNN that despite its exiting several Pentagon projects, Google does continue to work with the Department of Defense in some areas.
"We deeply respect the US military and we are working with them to solve problems in areas like cybersecurity, logistics, transportation and planning," the spokesperson said.

Google's lack of willingness to work with the Pentagon while simultaneously doing business with China was slammed by Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri.
"We are in a struggle with the Chinese government over whether or not they're going to become a regional and maybe global hegemon with values very different from ours, certainly values that do not favor freedom in the world," Hawley said.
"We have an American company that does not want to do work with our defense department which is one thing, but they're happy to help the Chinese, at least the Chinese government that is, the Chinese military, at least indirectly, I think that's just extraordinary," he added.
CNN's Donie O'Sullivan contributed to this report.

AU???
au ag = death
At a glance, au ag would logically be the symbols for gold and silver. But that meaning is called into question when you find out that one of the founders of the airport also discovered a new, deadly strain of hepatitis known as Australia Antigen, also called AUAG. It has been rumored that AUAG could be a potent weapon in biological warfare. This symbol rests on the ground directly in front of the biological warfare mural.
HBsAg (also known as the Australia antigen) is the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It indicates current hepatitis B infection.

Is it possible that Intel is aided and controlled by the CIA, like Google and Facebook (Part 2)
UEFI
First, they did away with the BIOS (which admittedly was pretty awful) and replaced it with UEFI–a very complex and often poorly implemented layer that has its own drivers, network stack, etc. It has it's own operating system, and all of this runs at "ring -2" on the CPU so your software and OS (ring 0), and even your hypervisor (ring -1), can't see it but it has full access to everything in the system, including active memory.
And yes, it turns out you can exploit the UEFI stack and own the system:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/3187264/uefi-flaws-can-be-exploited-to-install-highly-persistent-ransomware.html
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/09/28/uefi_rootkit_apt28/
Intel ME
Next they added a management layer to the firmware (Intel Management Engine - ME), including Intel's Active Management Technology. Oops, it can be used to own the system as well:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-amt-vulnerability-hits-business-chips-from-2008-onwards/
(This flaw was avilable for NINE years before it was found)
On-Chip MINIX
And for good measure, you add ANOTHER system that runs at an even higher permission level (ring -3) that has its own OS (MINIX, I shit you not), network stack, filesystem drivers, etc, that gives you god-mode access to everything on the system. Oh, and yes, it can also be exploited:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/minix-intels-hidden-in-chip-operating-system/
DARPA
Due to Q drops, we know that DARPA and the CIA are who funded and propelled Facebook to it's current position of dominance, so they could complete Project LifeLog.
1) DARPA just partnered with Intel on a project to produce next-generation hardware for big data, machine learning, and Artificial Intelligence: https://newsroom.intel.com/news/intel-named-darpa-project-focused-machine-learning-Artificial-Intelligence/
(note: this AI project is called HIVE. If you've been paying attention, that's the same name as one of the CIA exploits revealed in Wikileaks Vault7. They appear to be unrelated, but it's still interesting)
2) Intel provided the data bus, free of charge, for DARPA's CHIPS project: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13115/intel-provides-royalty-free-license-for-aub-data-bus

Q Research General #7276: The United States Is With You Edition
WASHINGTON (CBS SF / CNN) - America's top general said Thursday that Mountain View-based Google's work in China "is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military."
"The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military and I've been very public on this issue as well," Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said while testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit and frankly indirect may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it's more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military," Dunford added.
Dunford has long questioned why US-based tech firms have resisted working with the Department of Defense while simultaneously doing business with geopolitical competitors like China.
CNN previously reported that Google intended to end its cooperation with the Pentagon on several projects, including the Project Maven program which used Artificial Intelligence to enhance military drone operations following complaints from employees.
The company also recently dropped a bid for a Pentagon cloud storage contract, citing concerns that working with the Defense Department could conflict with its principles.

Inside the Ring: Democrats Dominate Artificial Intelligence Commission
A new federal commission on Artificial Intelligence is being led by Democrats.
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (AI), a federally appointed commission, held its first meeting Monday chaired by former Google executive and billionaire Eric Schmidt, a major donor and informal adviser to former President Barack Obama.
The commission's vice chairman is Robert Work, who was deputy defense secretary in the Obama administration.
Additionally, the AI commission has hired as a staff member Ylli Bajraktari, a former National Security Council staff member under Mr. Obama. Mr. Bajraktari also was a former aide to Obama Defense Secretary Ash Carter. He and his brother, Ylber Bajraktari, raised concerns about political reliability from some conservatives who questioned why they were kept on in senior positions at the NSC by President Trump's second national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster.
A Pentagon spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

Q Research General #7268: Congratulations Baker Team, a Win For All Edition
Last week, a number of media outlets pounced on the idea the U.S. Army may be trying to turn its gun duties over to Artificial Intelligence, prompting a flurry of headlines about robotic killing machines and allusions to the popular "Terminator" franchise. The truth, however, isn't quite so apocalyptic, and may well help make American trigger-pullers more capable and accurate in a fight.
Ominous name notwithstanding, ATLAS, which stands for Advanced Targeting and Lethality Automated System, doesn't intend to actually fire any rounds itself. Instead, the program is intended to aid human war-fighters in identifying, prioritizing, and engaging threats through an advanced targeting apparatus. ATLAS would help spot enemy positions and determine which ones pose the greatest threat to American forces. It could also assist with accuracy by ensuring the barrel of the weapon is pointed precisely at an identified threat, but the act of pulling the trigger-of ending a life- would still remain squarely in the soldier's hands.
"Envision it as a second set of eyes that's just really fast," Army engineer Don Reago told Breaking Defense, "[like] an extra soldier in the tank."
Following the media response, the Army changed the language in its request for information regarding expansion of the program to better reflect the stated intent of the initiative, dodging more clickbait criticisms about killer automatons wandering the wastelands of future battlefields. That isn't to say that the Army has never dabbled with the idea of fully-autonomous battlefield robots under ATLAS, but in its current iteration, the program is more about smart targeting than anything else.
The backlash regarding ATLAS echoes similar controversies surrounding both Google and Microsoft partnerships with the Department of Defense in recent years. Google famously backed out of an initiative that would have aided the Pentagon in sifting through Intelligence data feeds to more quickly identify threats thanks to a popular backlash from within the company and the tech community as a whole. Microsoft faced similar trouble with its Integrated Visual Augmentation System, or IVAS, but thus far, claims it intends to maintain the contract, despite the backlash.
The ethical debate surrounding robotic war-fighters is an important one, but all too often these debates are colored by popular perceptions rather than the nuts and bolts of the enterprise in question. Artificial Intelligence does not have to manifest in the form of an omnipotent, fully-networked overlord as depicted in countless films. Elements of AI can actually be found in a number of things most Americans use every day, like the Google Image Search function, which assesses images and delivers pictures to you based on your search criteria without any need for human assistance.
More importantly, while America stokes its own AI fears, nation-level opponents like China continue similar programs unabated.
"While outside groups will undoubtedly have concerns about the ATLAS program, even if the requirements are altered, the U.S. military is attempting to take the challenge of AI seriously across several dimensions," says Michael C. Horowitz, an associate professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and a senior adjunct fellow at the Center for New American Security.
However, it is important that the ethical quandaries these controversies are rooted in remain at the forefront of the discussion as AI finds its way into more defense initiatives. ATLAS may not be a trigger-puller, nor is Microsoft's IVAS, but someday, a similar system likely will be.
"Between the efforts of the Defensive Innovation Board, the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, the new National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, and others, now is the time to have these important conversations," said Horowitz.

Q Research General #7226: Fire Away By Any MEMES Necessary Edition
Notable.
More AI stuff..
Inside DARPA's Ambitious 'AI Next' Program.
As federal agencies ramp up efforts to advance Artificial Intelligence under the White House's national AI strategy, the Pentagon's research shop is already working to push the tech to new limits.
Last year, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency kicked off the AI Next campaign, a $2 billion effort to build Artificial Intelligence tools capable of human-like communication and logical reasoning that far surpass the abilities of today's most advanced tech. Included in the agency's portfolio are efforts to automate the scientific process, create computers with common sense, study the tech implications of insect brains and link military systems to the human body.
Through the AI Exploration program, the agency is also supplying rapid bursts of funding for a myriad of high-risk, high-reward efforts to develop new AI applications.

Q Research General #7224: LET FREEDOM RING! Edition
The world's first genderless AI voice: Researchers launch neutral-sounding 'Q' that's neither male nor female to fight bias in smart assistants
The voice was created from recordings of people who identify as non-binary
More than 4,600 testers chose a voice they perceived as being 'genderless'
They modulated the pitch to find a range of 145 to 175hz was gender neutral
Researchers hope Google and Apple will introduce a non-binary AI assistant
Talk to Apple's Siri or Amazon's Alexa and you'll notice a common trait: They both have female voices.
While this can help make robotic assistants more relatable and natural to converse with, it has assigned a gender to a technology that's otherwise genderless.
Now, researchers are hoping to offer a new alternative by launching what they're calling the world's first 'genderless voice.'
The voice, called 'Q', was created by researchers from Copenhagen Pride, equality campaign organisation EqualAI and Virtue, a creative agency under Vice, to be gender neutral.
To do this, they recorded voices from participants who identify as non-binary, or neither exclusively female nor male.
Researchers then tested the voice on 4,600 people across Europe.
Testers were asked to grade the voice between one and five, with one meaning a male voice and five a female one.
The voice was then modulated and tested again until it was widely perceived as gender neutral, the developers said.
After altering the pitch, format filter and tone of the voice, researchers found that a range of 145 and 175 hertz was a gender neutral frequency.
The higher the frequency, the more we perceive it as female; whereas, if the frequency is lower, we're more likely to think the voice is male.
In launching Q, they hope to break down the rise of gender bias in smart assistants.
Experts say assigning a female voice to an AI assistant reinforces stereotypes that females are supposed to helpful, nurturing and caring. Additionally, that they're more appropriate for administrative roles.
'Companies turn to different research that tells them people expect a female voice,' said Julie Carpenter, who worked on Project Q and is a research fellow with the Ethics and Emerging Sciences Group.
'Sometimes we go back to these stereotypes and what happens is we're reinforcing them. We're not changing them.
'There's no reason we can't have more options,' she added.
Apple and Google do give users the option of switching between a male and female voice for their digital assistants, but researchers say there should be a non-binary option as well.
'Q adds to a global discussion about who is designing gendered technology, why those choices are made, and how people feed into expectations about things like trustworthiness, Intelligence, and reliability of a technology based on cultural biases rooted in their belief system about groups of people,' Carpenter said.
'Q is a step forward in true innovation because it forces a critical examination of these belief systems.'
Last May, Google rolled out six new voices for its Google Assistant, among which are R&B singer John Legend.
Amazon, too, launched eight new male voices last year, but the original female voice remains the default option.
The creators behind Q are hoping the genderless voice will get tech giants' attention and lead to it being included in their products in the future.
'It's basically about keeping the technology companies responsible,' Casper Klynge, Danish tech ambassador, explained.
'And what we would argue is that they need to take a societal responsibility which is proportional to the kind of influence they exercise.'
Thomas Rasmussen, head of communication for Copenhagen Pride, said Q would help combat 'harmful and often very limiting gender stereotypes,' as well as raise the issue to Silicon Valley giants.
'With Q - a neutral voice with no preassigned gender - we aim to get the attention of leading technological companies that work with AI to ensure they are aware that a gender binary normativity excludes many people and to inspire them by showing how easy it would actually be to recognise that more than two genders exist when developing Artificial Intelligence devices,' Rasmussen said.
'This is about giving people choices and options. It is about freedom and inclusion.'

Q Research General #7216: Stay Tuned! Edition
MIT has responded to Donald Trump's bizarre suggestion that its scientists are better at flying planes than trained pilots.
In a strange tweet posted on Tuesday morning, the president had suggested that computer scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were required to to fly new planes, because they are so "complicated". "Pilots are no longer needed," he wrote.
The post appeared to be a response to the Ethiopian Airlines disaster, in which 157 people were killed in a crash that had strange parallels to another accident involving the same model of plane just months before. Authorities across Europe have temporarily grounded all of the same planes in an attempt to stop further disasters.
The US has not yet taken those measures, but Mr Trump apparently sent the tweet as is response to the crash. Rather than announcing policy changes, he argued that planes are too complicated, that he doesn't want "Albert Einstein" to be his pilot, and that MIT's computer scientists were required to fly planes.
Now MIT has responded to the strange tweet, asking the president not to get rid of pilots, who are trained in flying those same planes.
"We're very happy to help," MIT's Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Lab wrote on Twitter. "But maybe we can keep the pilots, too?"
The message concluded with a thinking emoji and a thumbs-up.
"Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better," he wrote on Twitter.
"Split second decisions are needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don't know about you, but I don't want Albert Einstein to be my pilot.
"I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!"
The president made no mention of the crashes of Boeing planes, but the remarks were widely understood as his response to the disasters.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents more than 26,000 flight attendants at American Airlines, called on CEO Doug Parker to "strongly consider grounding these planes until an investigation can be performed."
Consumer Reports called on airlines and the FAA to ground the jets until a thorough safety investigation is complete.
The Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed six minutes after taking off for Nairobi, killing people from 35 countries. It should take five days before victims' remains are identified, Ethiopian Airlines spokesman Asrat Begashaw told the AP.

MOAR DEEPFAKE PREP FUCKERY FROM THE CABAL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW-Ja5VvJZY
Would you be fooled by a deepfake? | The Stream
Video has long been considered a source of hard evidence in determining the truth. But how will trust in video change at a time when Artificial Intelligence is making it easier to create fake audiovisuals?
Synthetic videos, also known as deepfakes, are created using AI-powered programs that generate faked data based on real data sets. The technology has been used in making face swapping videos, fake porn, and fake audio clips using the voices of real people.
If misused, deepfakes could potentially have catastrophic implications. Fake videos could be made to foment social discord, sway an election, used for blackmail or for government propaganda.
As the ability to make deepfakes becomes more advanced and accessible, the technology may reach a point where even machines won't be able to tell the difference between what's real and fake. In this episode, we'll discuss the future of fake videos and their potential impact on society.

Q Research General #7195: Define 'Spook' Edition
Alan Turing famously proved that computations are substrate-independent as well: There's a vast variety of different computer architectures that are "universal" in the sense that they can all perform the exact same computations. So if you're a conscious superintelligent character in a future computer game, you'd have no way of knowing whether you ran on a desktop, a tablet or a phone, because you would be substrate-independent.
Nor could you tell whether the logic gates of the computer were made of transistors, optical circuits or other hardware, or even what the fundamental laws of physics were. Because of this substrate-independence, shrewd engineers have been able to repeatedly replace the technologies inside our computers with dramatically better ones without changing the software, making computation twice as cheap roughly every couple of years for over a century, cutting the computer cost a whopping million million million times since my grandmothers were born. It's precisely this substrate-independence of computation that implies that Artificial Intelligence is possible: Intelligence doesn't require flesh, blood or carbon atoms.
This example illustrates three important points.
First, substrate-independence doesn't mean that a substrate is unnecessary, but that most details of it don't matter. You obviously can't have sound waves in a gas if there's no gas, but any gas whatsoever will suffice. Similarly, you obviously can't have computation without matter, but any matter will do as long as it can be arranged into logic gates, connected neurons or some other building block enabling universal computation.
Second, the substrate-independent phenomenon takes on a life of its own, independent of its substrate. A wave can travel across a lake, even though none of its water molecules do-they mostly bob up and down.
Third, it's often only the substrate-independent aspect that we're interested in: A surfer usually cares more about the position and height of a wave than about its detailed molecular composition, and if two programmers are jointly hunting a bug in their code, they're probably not discussing transistors.

Google's COB and CEO in 2001 - 2017
(Schmidt said the move would allow him to have a more "hands-on role" in developing Artificial Intelligence for defense.)
Advisor and major donor to Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign
Serves on the boards of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the Khan Academy, and The Economist.
Chairman of New America, a non-profit public-policy institute and think tank
Invested in The Groundwork, a start-up company associated with Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.
Schmidt Family Foundation
(reated in partnership with the Rhodes Trust)
In January 2013, Schmidt and Jared Cohen, director of Google Ideas visited North Korea along with former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson. On August 10, 2013, North Korea announced an indigenous smartphone, named Arirang, that may be using the Google Android operating system.
He is a member of the Bilderberg Group
He also has a listed membership with the Trilateral Commission.
Romantic Life
Schmidt is a known womanizer despite being married for 37 years to Wendy Schmidt, who said in 2012 they started living separate lives because she felt like "a piece of luggage."
His Women:
TV presenter Kate Bohner,
PR exec Marcy Simon,
Danya Perry, who is chief of litigation and deputy general counsel to billionaire Ronald Perelman.
Ulla Parker - ex-wife of Wall Street veteran Kevin Parker
Lisa Shields, a producer for Good Morning America
Cho-San Nguyen, concert pianist
Lisa Shields, vice president of media affairs at the Council on Foreign Relations
Most interesting though is the rumored affair with Wendi Deng Murdoch.
After her relationship with Schmidt was over, she stated her true feelings for him: "I'm not ever feel sad ... about losing Eric ... Plus he is really really ugly. Unattractive ... and fat. Not stylish at all try to wear hip clothes ... I'm so so soo soooo happy I'm not with him."
Rupert Murdoch once described Wendi as "a nice Chinese lady," but also said she was " extremely abusive," both verbally and physically, and once "shoved him, and he fell backwards into the piano in the living room and then onto the floor, and he couldn't get up."
Not only was Wendi Deng married to Rupert Murdoch, media reports said she had affairs with Toni Blair and Vladimir Putin, among others. Deng was born and raised in China.

SOFT ROBOTS THAT can grasp delicate objects, computer algorithms designed to spot an "insider threat," and Artificial Intelligence that will sift through large data sets - these are just a few of the technologies being pursued by companies with investment from In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital firm, according to a document obtained by The Intercept.
Yet among the 38 previously undisclosed companies receiving In-Q-Tel funding, the research focus that stands out is social media mining and surveillance; the portfolio document lists several tech companies pursuing work in this area, including Dataminr, Geofeedia, PATHAR, and TransVoyant.

Nvidia outbids Intel to buy Israel's Mellanox in data center push
(Reuters) - U.S. chipmaker Nvidia Corp has agreed to buy Israeli chip designer Mellanox Technologies Ltd for $6.8 billion, beating rival Intel Corp in a deal that would help the firm boost its data center and supercomputer business.
The all-cash offer of $125 per share represents a premium of 14 percent to Mellanox's closing price on Friday. Mellanox shares rose 8.4 percent to $118.56 and Nvidia shares gained 2.8 percent in early Nasdaq trading on Monday.
The agreement, which the companies described as "definitive", follows a competitive bidding process which according to sources familiar with the matter, included rival chipmakers such as Intel.
Xilinx Inc was also part of the process, sources said. Mellanox will pay a $350 million termination fee to Nvidia if it accepts a rival offer.
Reuters reported about the deal on Sunday.
Intel declined to comment on whether the company had bid for Mellanox, while Xilinx did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"The emergence of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and data science, as well as billions of simultaneous computer users, is fuelling sky-rocketing demand on the world's data centres," said Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Hung.
Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said Nvidia has been pushing more into networking and connectivity with its own tailored solutions and Mellanox would bring further expertise.

Trump's 2020 budget calls for $2.7T in spending cuts, promises to erase deficit in 15 years

President Trump will unveil his fiscal 2020 budget request to Congress on Monday which calls for $2.7 trillion in spending cuts and balances in 15 years, according to the White House budget office.
The budget from the White House is the first the president will send to a divided Congress, and the proposal is likely to face fierce opposition from the new Democrat-controlled House. But Trump's spending plan highlights a number of his priorities, including strengthening border security to address the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, and tackling the opioid crisis.
"In the last two, President Trump and this administration have prioritized reining in reckless Washington spending," acting Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought said in a statement. "The budget that we have presented to Congress and the American people, 'A Budget for a Better America,' embodies fiscal responsibility, and takes aim at Washington's waste, fraud, and abuse."
Is Bernie Sanders the default Democratic candidate?

The 2020 budget, Vought added, "will balance in 15 years, end runaway spending, and secure prosperity for future generations."
Since Trump took office, the national debt has risen more than $2 trillion and currently stands at more than $22 trillion, a record high. But the president's budget takes aim at government spending by calling for a 5 percent reduction in nondefense discretionary spending that will keep the budget under statutory spending caps. With the proposals included in the request for Congress, projections indicate the budget would be balanced by 2034, according to the Office of Management and Budget.
The spending plan seeks to boost border security and immigration enforcement to address what Trump has said is a crisis at the southern border. Trump has long urged Congress to provide him with money to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, but had little success even when the GOP controlled both chambers. An impasse over wall funding led to a 35-day partial government shutdown that stretched from just before Christmas until the end of January.
Despite the fervent opposition from Democrats, Trump's fiscal 2020 budget proposal will seek an additional $8.6 billion for the border wall, according to reports.
Pushing for additional wall funding, however, could lead to another partial government shutdown, Democratic leaders warned Sunday.
To further address the situation at the southern border, the president's budget calls for increases in the workforce for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, as well as policy changes to end sanctuary cities, which Trump has attempted to penalize through other actions.
To combat the opioid epidemic, a key priority for the Trump administration, the fiscal blueprint envisions continued investments in prevention, treatment, research, and recovery. It also calls for the creation of new platforms "for delivering services to the American people" as part of the administration's efforts to modernize the federal government.
Taking aim at higher education institutions, Trump's fiscal 2020 spending plan requires colleges and universities "to share a portion of the financial responsibility associated with federal student loans."
It also allocates $80 billion for veterans, roughly a 10 percent boost from fiscal 2019, and, with an eye on defense, provides investments "in the capabilities and domains critical to future conflicts," including space, Artificial Intelligence, and hypersonics.
The president's full fiscal year 2020 budget request will be unveiled Monday morning.

>amazon cloud servers - slush funds - malware uploads - unclassified servers.
CIA malware does not "explode on impact" but rather permanently infests its target. In order to infect target's device, copies of the malware must be placed on the target's devices, giving physical possession of the malware to the target. To exfiltrate data back to the CIA or to await further instructions the malware must communicate with CIA Command & Control (C2) systems placed on internet connected servers. But such servers are typically not approved to hold classified information, so CIA command and control systems are also made unclassified.

When U.N. member states unanimously adopted the 2030 Agenda in 2015, the narrative around global development embraced a new paradigm of sustainability and inclusion-of planetary stewardship alongside economic progress, and inclusive distribution of income. This comprehensive agenda-merging social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability-is not supported by current modes of data collection and data analysis, so the report of the High-Level Panel on the post-2015 development agenda called for a "data revolution" to empower people through access to information.

these technologies," he told the audience at the Web Summit in Lisbon. The real enemies are China and Russia, both of which have invested in AI military technology.
China is not only investing in AI, but has unfair advantages to develop the technology using its entire population as a data training set through use of mass surveillance to run experiments. In contrast, Luckey told Defense and Aerospace Report, the U.S. can train its AI software "in industry, in enterprise, in national security." The U.S., Luckey went on, could test AI "using our current military advantage to train future AI developments and we need to start using our current military advantage." He called for employing these technologies in ongoing "large-scale conflicts" around the world.
Asked in Lisbon about a digital Geneva Convention or another ethical rulebook to govern the use of AI weaponry, Luckey was forthright in his rejection of the idea.
"That's not really going to solve the problem," he said. "I have no hopes that a digital Geneva Convention, whatever it will be, will prevent China from using surveillance tools to watch every citizen in their country. I have very little confidence that it will prevent Russia from building autonomous systems that can acquire and fire on targets without any kind of human intervention whatsoever."
Ethics experts have criticized the development of AI-based weapons, noting that the lethal autonomous weapons could be hijacked by hackers, kill without clear explanation, or lead to catastrophic accidental conflict if weapons are used as escalation in response to an incident that appears to be an act of war. Moreover, as humans are removed from face-to-face combat, the dehumanization of lethal decisions could lead to more killing.
Luckey hasn't proffered any direct answers to the questions being raised over the use of Artificial Intelligence in warfighting. Anduril, however, has stated that it will not sell to Russia or China, but would be willing to sell its products to U.S. allies. A request for comment about whether the company would sell to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, or other undemocratic U.S. allies was not returned.
Among the many Palantir alumni who joined Anduril, one name sticks out to those concerned with abuse of civil liberties and human rights. In May of last year, the firm hired former Palantir executive Matthew Steckman.
Steckman took a lead role in the HBGary Federal scandal in 2011. In the scandal, a cache of hacked emails showed that Palantir and two other defense contractors had cooked up a plot to spy on journalists, trade unions, and activists on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest pro-business lobby in America. The plot included hacking target computers and using social media analysis to monitor the behaviors of a large set of left-leaning figures and journalists viewed as sympathetic to Wikileaks, including The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald. In negotiations with the Chamber's law firm, Steckman wrote at the time that he and another Palantir executive were "spearheading this from the Palantir side."
After the plan was revealed, Palantir briefly placed Steckman on leave. He is now at work as head of corporate and government affairs at Anduril.
One thing is clear: Luckey wants to win - in every way imaginable. The U.S.'s goal, Luckey said at the Web Summit, should be dominance and beating other foreign adversaries to control the best Artificial Intelligence technology. "You have to be the leader," he said. "Technological superiority is a prerequisite for ethical superiority."

Defense Tech Startup Founded by Trump's Most Prominent Silicon Valley Supporters Wins Secretive Military AI Contract
A startup founded by a young and outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump is among the latest tech companies to quietly win a contract with the Pentagon as part of Project Maven, the secretive initiative to rapidly leverage Artificial Intelligence technology from the private sector for military purposes.
Anduril Industries is the latest venture of Palmer Luckey, the 26-year-old entrepreneur best known for having founded the virtual reality firm Oculus Rift. Luckey began work on Project Maven last year, along with efforts to support the Defense Department's newly formed Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, according to documents viewed by The Intercept.
The previously unreported Project Maven contract could be a boon for Anduril's bottom line. Founded in 2017, the company has said it seeks to remake the defense contracting industry by incorporating the latest innovations of Silicon Valley into warfighting technology.
Last year, Google's involvement with Project Maven stirred a controversy inside the tech giant. The company had signed a contract with the Defense Department to develop Artificial Intelligence that could interpret video images in order to improve drone targeting. But after the contract's disclosure sparked an internal rebellion among employees, Google allowed its contract to expire. The Google flap and the wider military drive to adopt commercial Artificial Intelligence technology unleashed a fierce debate among tech companies about their role in society and ethics around advanced computing.
Anduril Industries is developing virtual reality technology using Lattice, a product the firm offers that uses ground- and autonomous helicopter drone-based sensors to provide a three-dimensional view of terrain. The technology is designed to provide a virtual view of the front lines to soldiers, including the ability to identify potential targets and direct unmanned military vehicles into combat. The first phase of the research has been completed, according to the documents reviewed by The Intercept, with initial plans to deploy virtual reality battlefield-management systems for the war in Afghanistan. (Anduril and the Pentagon did not respond to requests for comment.)

THE PENTAGON CANCELED its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person's entire existence.
Run by Darpa, the Defense Department's research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. Out of this seemingly endless ocean of information, computer scientists would plot distinctive routes in the data, mapping relationships, memories, events and experiences.
LifeLog's backers said the all-encompassing diary could have turned into a near-perfect digital memory, giving its users computerized assistants with an almost flawless recall of what they had done in the past. But civil libertarians immediately pounced on the project when it debuted last spring, arguing that LifeLog could become the ultimate tool for profiling potential enemies of the state.
Researchers close to the project say they're not sure why it was dropped late last month. Darpa hasn't provided an explanation for LifeLog's quiet cancellation. "A change in priorities" is the only rationale agency spokeswoman Jan Walker gave to Wired News.
However, related Darpa efforts concerning software secretaries and mechanical brains are still moving ahead as planned.
LifeLog is the latest in a series of controversial programs that have been canceled by Darpa in recent months. The Terrorism Information Awareness, or TIA, data-mining initiative was eliminated by Congress - although many analysts believe its research continues on the classified side of the Pentagon's ledger. The Policy Analysis Market (or FutureMap), which provided a stock market of sorts for people to bet on terror strikes, was almost immediately withdrawn after its details came to light in July.
"I've always thought (LifeLog) would be the third program (after TIA and FutureMap) that could raise eyebrows if they didn't make it clear how privacy concerns would be met," said Peter Harsha, director of government affairs for the Computing Research Association.
"Darpa's pretty gun-shy now," added Lee Tien, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has been critical of many agency efforts. "After TIA, they discovered they weren't ready to deal with the firestorm of criticism."
That's too bad, Artificial-Intelligence researchers say. LifeLog would have addressed one of the key issues in developing computers that can think: how to take the unstructured mess of life, and recall it as discreet episodes - a trip to Washington, a sushi dinner, construction of a house.
"Obviously we're quite disappointed," said Howard Shrobe, who led a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory which spent weeks preparing a bid for a LifeLog contract. "We were very interested in the research focus of the program ... how to help a person capture and organize his or her experience. This is a theme with great importance to both AI and cognitive science."
To Tien, the project's cancellation means "it's just not tenable for Darpa to say anymore, 'We're just doing the technology, we have no responsibility for how it's used.'"
Private-sector research in this area is proceeding. At Microsoft, for example, minicomputer pioneer Gordon Bell's program, MyLifeBits, continues to develop ways to sort and store memories.
David Karger, Shrobe's colleague at MIT, thinks such efforts will still go on at Darpa, too.
"I am sure that such research will continue to be funded under some other title," wrote Karger in an e-mail. "I can't imagine Darpa 'dropping out' of such a key research area."

Aussie anon here, was reading an online news article I will link here, good read for those that can spare a moment to read. The author was with Senator Graham last week some very interesting terminology.
Here it is, https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/media/news-corp-ceo-robert-thomson-gives-speech-on-big-digital/news-story/e7812ba62264ea20da92efca8a4ff9b5
This is an edited version of a speech by News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson in London on Friday titled Big Digital: After the Awakening, the Reckoning:
I COME from a journalistic background. Dog Bites Man is never a story. Man Bites Dog is certainly a story. Bytes Dog Man - that is THE story.
Almost 12 years ago as editor of The Times I gave evidence to a House of Lords committee:
ADVERTISEMENT
CONTENT RESUMES ON SCROLL
'The problem that we have as a society is that there is a significant number of people who have grown up in a different information environment ... surrounded by much more information, but whose provenance is not clear ... The rumours will be believed, the fiction will be thought of as fact and the political agendas, among other agendas, will be influenced by interest groups who are coming from some quite strange trajectory to issues based on collective understanding that is founded on falsity.'
And so it shouldn't surprise us that there are problems with provenance and opportunities for bad actors to damage democracies.

Thankfully, there is indeed a more contemplative crew of contemporary politicians and regulators, not merely dazzled by the digital, or falling for the fashionable - they are able to divine the difference between Artificial Intelligence and the artifice of Intelligence. Let's be very clear - the digital world has brought manifold benefits, in choices and chances, in efficiency and efficacy. It is core not a coda. And because its core we need to be conscious of consequences, and not diss dissent as has happened for too long. At last we are discussing more seriously the fine lines between engagement and addiction, between repurposing and piracy and pillage, between belonging and bullying, between identity and insecurity, all of which are magnified digitally.
I was with the astute, acute Senator Graham in Washington last week, and he clearly understands the potency of dominant algorithms and the anti-social potential of social media. As the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and with the respect of both parties, he will be a profoundly important voice in coming years as the awakening becomes a reckoning.
That word has biblical overtones and so who will ultimately be the cyber Solomon, ensuring that the digital ecosystem develops to its undoubted potential? One certain outcome will be less dominance by a few players whose reach across horizontals and deep into verticals is a fundamental contradiction, whether in content or in commerce. No one wants the reckoning to be a wrecking ball but the digital debris trail is already rather long.
There is generally an understanding in business that connections lead to partnerships lead to relationships with responsibilities - and that's the implied social contract, but digital relationships very quickly descended into abusive relationships. Serial cheating, digital denials, haughtiness, smugness, playing content creators for suckers who don't understand the ecosystem. Allowing rampant piracy, sometimes actually encouraging it; it was core to the business model for some, not all. It's not a compliant culture - it's a complaint culture. You complain about the most obvious, egregious, outrageous abuse and these companies may eventually be compliant. But complaint compliance is neither sincere nor a sustainable strategy.
"The Great Awakening" much love from Aus

ATLAS: Killer Robot? No. Virtual Crewman? Yes.
Alarming headlines to the contrary, the US Army isn't building robotic "killing machines." What they really want Artificial Intelligence to do in combat is much more interesting.
By SYDNEY J. FREEDBERG JR.
on March 04, 2019 at 5:06 PM
No, the Army isn't turning tanks into robotic "killing machines," as some excited headlines put it last week. Instead, as part of the military's urgent push for Artificial Intelligence, an Army program called ATLAS is developing an AI that acts like a virtual soldier in the turret, one designed to assist the human crew.
Despite an alarming name, Advanced Targeting & Lethality Automated System, ATLAS is actually meant to help the humans spot threats they might have missed, prioritize potential targets, and even bring the gun to bear - but it will be physically incapable of pulling the trigger itself.
Army photo
Donald Reago
"Envision it as a second set of eyes that's just really fast," Army engineer Don Reago told me Friday, "[like] an extra soldier in the tank."
Reago is director of Night Vision & Electronic Sensors at Fort Belvoir (part of the newly reorganized Combat Capabilities Development Command), and he's worked for 30 years on what the Army calls Assisted Target Recognition. The service has always avoided the more common term, Automated Target Recognition, he told me, because it deemphasizes the role of humans. Whatever you call it, ATLAS's target recognition system will use machine learning algorithms, trained on vast databases the Army is going to have to put together, protect against misinformation and keep updated. Silicon Valley is great at analyzing Facebook photos and funny cat GIFs; not so much at telling a T-90 from a Leopard II.
(UPDATE: The first demonstration will be on a 50 mm autocannon, smaller than an M1's 120 mm main gun but, interestingly, the exact same XM913 gun that the Army wants for its future Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle.)
Once ATLAS is fielded, the AI on any given armored vehicle will compare data from multiple sensors, perhaps even from multiple vehicles, to defeat camouflage and spoofing. Then it will identify potential targets and point them out to the crew. How much detail ATLAS provides the user will depend on how good the algorithms get after being trained. But the AI will leave it to the human to determine hostile intent, which the law of war requires before opening fire in self-defense.
"ATLAS ... might be saying 'this is a human who appears to be carrying a weapon,'" Reago said. "The algorithm isn't really making the judgment about whether something is hostile or not hostile. It's simply alerting the soldier, [and] they have to use their training and their understanding to make that final determination."
Above all, ATLAS will not be a second finger on the trigger. "The soldier would have to depress the palm switch to initiate firing," said Bob Stephan, who's worked on tanks for years and is now ATLAS project officer at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey. "If that is never pulled down, the firing pin will never get to the weapon.... That's how we will make sure ATLAS never is allowed to fire autonomously."

Scientists Want You To Get A Brain Chip To Make You Smarter; And Intelligence Agencies Absolutely Won't Abuse This Technology Implanted In Humans
The next big evolutionary Orwellian technology is coming. Soon you will be able to implant yourself with a brain chip to be super smart, CBS Chicago reported.
Elon Musk has previously criticized humans at a conference in Dubai. He expressed that Artificial Intelligence would surpass human beings and that we would be irrelevant if we didn't merge with machines. Musk plans to do this with his "Neuralink" product that can make anyone superhuman by connecting their brain to a computer chip.
"Neuralink" is designing a cranial computer interface or neural lace, although it's unclear what types of products the company will develop.
The Wall Street Journal speculated that the first products could be advanced implants to treat brain disorders like epilepsy or major depression.
Electrode arrays and other implants are already being used to help the effects of Parkinson's, epilepsy, and other neurodegenerative diseases - but only rarely, due in part to the dangerous nature of brain surgery.
"Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological Intelligence and digital Intelligence," Musk said.
"Your output level is so low, particularly on a phone, your two thumbs just tapping away," he added. "This is ridiculously slow. Our input is much better because we have a high bandwidth visual interface into the brain. Our eyes take in a lot of data.
It's not the first time that Musk warned about the dangers of A.I., previously describing it as potentially the greatest threat to the existence of human life and comparing intelligent machines to summoning a demon.
"You know those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram, and the holy water, and he's like Yeah, he's sure he can control the demon? Doesn't work out," Musk said at a symposium in October 2014.
The science may seem a bit science-fiction, but Stanford University has already successfully created a brain-computer interface (BCI), BrainGate, and early BCI tech allows people with paralysis to type messages on a computer by picking out letters on a screen, Ars Technica reported.

Should We Trust Artificial Intelligence Regulation by Congress If Facebook Supports It?
Try to imagine for a moment a declaration from Congress to the effect that safeguarding the environment is important, that the effects of pollution on the environment ought to be monitored, and that special care should be taken to protect particularly vulnerable and marginalized communities from toxic waste. So far, so good! Now imagine this resolution is enthusiastically endorsed by ExxonMobil and the American Coal Council. You would have good reason to be suspicious. Keep that in mind while you consider the newly announced House Resolution 153.
Last week, several members of Congress began pushing the resolution with the aim of "supporting the development of guidelines for ethical development of Artificial Intelligence." It was introduced by Reps. Brenda Lawrence and Ro Khanna - the latter of whom, crucially, represents Silicon Valley, which is to the ethical development of software what West Virginia is to the rollout of clean energy. This has helped make Khanna a national figure, in part because, far from being a tech industry cheerleader, he's publicly supported cracking down on the data Wild West his home district helped create. For example, he has criticized the wrist-slaps Google and Facebook receive in the wakes of their regular privacy scandals and called for congressional action against Amazon's labor practices.
The resolution, co-sponsored by seven other representatives, has some strange fans. Its starting premises are unimpeachable: "Whereas the far-reaching societal impacts of AI necessitates its safe, responsible, and democratic development," the resolution "supports the development of guidelines for the ethical development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in consultation with diverse stakeholders." It also supports adherence to a list of crucial values in the development of any kind of machine or algorithmic Intelligence, including "[i]nformation privacy and the protection of one's personal data"; "[a]ccountability and oversight for all automated decision making"; and "[s]afety, security, and control of AI systems now and in the future."
These are laudable goals, if a little inexact: Key terms like "control" and "oversight" are left entirely undefined. Are we talking about self-regulation here - which algorithmic software companies want because of its ineffectiveness - or real, governmental regulation? When the resolution mentions accountability, are Khanna and company envisioning harsh penalties for AI mishaps, or is this a call for more public relations mea culpas after the fact?

Q Research General #7109: APPREHEND Edition
The Pentagon is shopping for ways to capture everything a person sees, says and hears, as part of a project it says is meant to help create smarter robots.
The projected system, called LifeLog, would take in all of a subject's experience, from phone numbers dialed and e-mail messages viewed to every breath taken, step made and place gone. The idea is to index the material and make patterns easily retrievable, in an effort to make machines think more like people, learning from experience.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa, the Pentagon's cradle for new technologies, is sponsoring a competition for proposals to set up such a system.
The project could result in more effective computers capable of building on a user's past and interpreting his or her commands, said Jan Walker, a Darpa spokeswoman.
Ms. Walker said the new project had nothing to do with the agency's Terrorist Information Awareness program, formerly called Total Information Awareness – a research initiative, criticized by civil liberties groups, to create a vast computer-based surveillance system intended to thwart terrorism.
The goal of LifeLog is to create a searchable database of human lives, initially those of the developers, to promote Artificial Intelligence, the agency said. The technology would advance a new class of systems able to reason in a number of ways, learn from experience and respond in a robust manner to surprises, the agency's Information Processing Technology Office said.
Continue reading the main story
To do so, the office said, the system must index the details of daily life and make it possible to infer the user's routines, habits and relationships with other people, organizations, places and objects, and to exploit these patterns to ease its task.
Darpa said any proposals from developers would have to address human subject approval, data privacy and security, copyright and legal considerations that would affect the LifeLog development process.
Steven Aftergood, who tracks government secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists, said he was not prepared to call the LifeLog initiative illegitimate. But, you know, it's one more program that demands vigilant oversight, he said. The more personal experience that can be captured by digital means, the more vulnerable that experience is to unwanted surveillance.

Norvig shows up on O'Neill's Google Plus profile as one of his close connections. Scoping the rest of O'Neill's Google Plus connections illustrates that he is directly connected not just to a wide range of Google executives, but also to some of the biggest names in the US tech community.
Those connections include Michele Weslander Quaid, an ex-CIA contractor and former senior Pentagon Intelligence official who is now Google's chief technology officer where she is developing programs to "best fit government agencies' needs"; Elizabeth Churchill, Google director of user experience; James Kuffner, a humanoid robotics expert who now heads up Google's robotics division and who introduced the term 'cloud robotics'; Mark Drapeau, director of innovation engagement for Microsoft's public sector business; Lili Cheng, general manager of Microsoft's Future Social Experiences (F- USE) Labs; Jon Udell, Microsoft 'evangelist'; Cory Ondrejka, vice president of engineering at Facebook; to name just a few.
In 2010, Google signed a multi-billion dollar no-bid contract with the NSA's sister agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The contract was to use Google Earth for visualization services for the NGA. Google had developed the software behind Google Earth by purchasing Keyhole from the CIA venture firm In-Q-Tel.
Then a year after, in 2011, another of O'Neill's Google Plus connections, Michele Quaid?-?who had served in executive positions at the NGA, National Reconnaissance Office and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence?-?left her government role to become Google 'innovation evangelist' and the point-person for seeking government contracts. Quaid's last role before her move to Google was as a senior representative of the Director of National Intelligence to the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Task Force, and a senior advisor to the undersecretary of defense for Intelligence's director of Joint and Coalition Warfighter Support (J&CWS). Both roles involved information operations at their core. Before her Google move, in other words, Quaid worked closely with the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, to which the Pentagon's Highlands Forum is subordinate. Quaid has herself attended the Forum, though precisely when and how often I could not confirm.
In March 2012, then DARPA director Regina Dugan?-?who in that capacity was also co-chair of the Pentagon Highlands Forum?-?followed her colleague Quaid into Google to lead the company's new Advanced Technology and Projects Group. During her Pentagon tenure, Dugan led on strategic cyber security and social media, among other initiatives. She was responsible for focusing "an increasing portion" of DARPA's work "on the investigation of offensive capabilities to address military-specific needs," securing $500 million of government funding for DARPA cyber research from 2012 to 2017.
By November 2014, Google's chief AI and robotics expert James Kuffner was a delegate alongside O'Neill at the Highlands Island Forum 2014 in Singapore, to explore 'Advancement in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Society, Security and Conflict.' The event included 26 delegates from Austria, Israel, Japan, Singapore, Sweden, Britain and the US, from both industry and government. Kuffner's association with the Pentagon, however, began much earlier. In 1997, Kuffner was a researcher during his Stanford PhD for a Pentagon-funded project on networked autonomous mobile robots, sponsored by DARPA and the US Navy.
Rumsfeld and persistent surveillance
In sum, many of Google's most senior executives are affiliated with the Pentagon Highlands Forum, which throughout the period of Google's growth over the last decade, has surfaced repeatedly as a connecting and convening force. The US Intelligence community's incubation of Google from inception occurred through a combination of direct sponsorship and informal networks of financial influence, themselves closely aligned with Pentagon interests.
The Highlands Forum itself has used the informal relationship building of such private networks to bring together defense and industry sectors, enabling the fusion of corporate and military interests in expanding the covert surveillance apparatus in the name of national security. The power wielded by the shadow network represented in the Forum can, however, be gauged most clearly from its impact during the Bush administration, when it played a direct role in literally writing the strategies and doctrines behind US efforts to achieve 'information superiority.'

Q Research General #7109: APPREHEND Edition
THE PENTAGON CANCELED its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person's entire existence.
Run by Darpa, the Defense Department's research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. Out of this seemingly endless ocean of information, computer scientists would plot distinctive routes in the data, mapping relationships, memories, events and experiences.
LifeLog's backers said the all-encompassing diary could have turned into a near-perfect digital memory, giving its users computerized assistants with an almost flawless recall of what they had done in the past. But civil libertarians immediately pounced on the project when it debuted last spring, arguing that LifeLog could become the ultimate tool for profiling potential enemies of the state.
Researchers close to the project say they're not sure why it was dropped late last month. Darpa hasn't provided an explanation for LifeLog's quiet cancellation. "A change in priorities" is the only rationale agency spokeswoman Jan Walker gave to Wired News.
However, related Darpa efforts concerning software secretaries and mechanical brains are still moving ahead as planned.
LifeLog is the latest in a series of controversial programs that have been canceled by Darpa in recent months. The Terrorism Information Awareness, or TIA, data-mining initiative was eliminated by Congress - although many analysts believe its research continues on the classified side of the Pentagon's ledger. The Policy Analysis Market (or FutureMap), which provided a stock market of sorts for people to bet on terror strikes, was almost immediately withdrawn after its details came to light in July.
"I've always thought (LifeLog) would be the third program (after TIA and FutureMap) that could raise eyebrows if they didn't make it clear how privacy concerns would be met," said Peter Harsha, director of government affairs for the Computing Research Association.
"Darpa's pretty gun-shy now," added Lee Tien, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has been critical of many agency efforts. "After TIA, they discovered they weren't ready to deal with the firestorm of criticism."
That's too bad, Artificial-Intelligence researchers say. LifeLog would have addressed one of the key issues in developing computers that can think: how to take the unstructured mess of life, and recall it as discreet episodes - a trip to Washington, a sushi dinner, construction of a house.
"Obviously we're quite disappointed," said Howard Shrobe, who led a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory which spent weeks preparing a bid for a LifeLog contract. "We were very interested in the research focus of the program … how to help a person capture and organize his or her experience. This is a theme with great importance to both AI and cognitive science."
To Tien, the project's cancellation means "it's just not tenable for Darpa to say anymore, 'We're just doing the technology, we have no responsibility for how it's used.'"
Private-sector research in this area is proceeding. At Microsoft, for example, minicomputer pioneer Gordon Bell's program, MyLifeBits, continues to develop ways to sort and store memories.
David Karger, Shrobe's colleague at MIT, thinks such efforts will still go on at Darpa, too.
"I am sure that such research will continue to be funded under some other title," wrote Karger in an e-mail. "I can't imagine Darpa 'dropping out' of such a key research area."

Title: Modern Star Wars: JEDI, the Dark Side and the Fight for the Future of the Military
Commentary
Misinformation campaigns aren't just limited to interfering with political elections. Now, it looks like someone's meddling with the future of the military in the DOD's biggest cloud contract ever.
In Star Wars, a JEDI was part of an ancient order of protectors that harnessed the power of the Force and battled against the dark side. In Washington, D.C. JEDI is not a group of Star Wars heroes destined to battle the dark side, but an acronym for the Joint Enterprise Defense Initiative, a $10 billion cloud contract that will help the Department of Defense (DOD) create an enterprise cloud capability. JEDI will help modernize the military's technologies?-?including the use of Artificial Intelligence to better combat threats?-?and better support our troops who are deployed, all while significantly reducing costs.
Sounds like a great idea: technology for good that can help the U.S. keep pace with other nation states. Right? But as the DOD leads the charge towards a more modern, and effective future, powerful forces within the tech industry are pushing back in a fight, not for the ongoing prosperity of democracy, but rather, old antiquated processes and big profit in mind. Ah, U.S. capitalism at work.

Scientists Want You To Get A Brain Chip To Make You Smarter; And Intelligence Agencies Absolutely Won't Abuse This Technology Implanted In Humans
The next big evolutionary Orwellian technology is coming. Soon you will be able to implant yourself with a brain chip to be super smart, CBS Chicago reported.
Elon Musk has previously criticized humans at a conference in Dubai. He expressed that Artificial Intelligence would surpass human beings and that we would be irrelevant if we didn't merge with machines. Musk plans to do this with his "Neuralink" product that can make anyone superhuman by connecting their brain to a computer chip.
"Neuralink" is designing a cranial computer interface or neural lace, although it's unclear what types of products the company will develop.
The Wall Street Journal speculated that the first products could be advanced implants to treat brain disorders like epilepsy or major depression.
Electrode arrays and other implants are already being used to help the effects of Parkinson's, epilepsy, and other neurodegenerative diseases - but only rarely, due in part to the dangerous nature of brain surgery.
"Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological Intelligence and digital Intelligence," Musk said.
"Your output level is so low, particularly on a phone, your two thumbs just tapping away," he added. "This is ridiculously slow. Our input is much better because we have a high bandwidth visual interface into the brain. Our eyes take in a lot of data.

Q Research General #7104: USE THIS BREAD Edition
Log time lurker/first time poster.. Was looking into Q's "Do people follow the 'stars'?" Relating to DARPA's connection to FB.
https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/timeline/starnet-established - DARPA and key companies from the semiconductor and defense industries established the Semiconductor Technology Advanced Research Network, or STARnet. This effort, which lasted until 2017 when it was superseded by a similar program known as JUMP, supported large university communities to look beyond the current evolutionary directions in microelectronics research and development. This community of leading academics was supported by resources and expertise of DARPA and participating companies, including at least $40 million each year in basic research funding.
Don't know if there is anything here, but looking into some of the things they were working on lead me to this.
https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2015/04/darpa-semiconductor-starnet-beyond-cmos.html
Goals
Technical goals proposed by Centers including
* including reductions of 100 times in the power consumption of devices
* 100 - 10,000 times lower energy consumption in logic switches
* 10 - 100 times higher computational energy efficiency, scalability of technologies to sub-10 nanometer dimensions, development of novel computing architectures
* highly energy-efficient information processing systems inspired in the nervous system.
The one that stood out to me was this last one having to do with the processing systems inspired by the nervous system? What are they doing here?
Does this relate to anything that are doing in Building 8?
https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10102777889538891?hc_location=ufi
"I'm excited to announce that we've started a new group at Facebook called Building 8 focused on building new hardware products to advance our mission of connecting the world.
This team will be led by Regina Dugan, who most recently led the Advanced Technology and Projects group at Google, and before that was the Director of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA).
I'm excited to have Regina apply DARPA-style breakthrough development at the intersection of science and products to our mission. This method is characterized by aggressive, fixed timelines, extensive use of partnerships with universities, small and large businesses, and clear objectives for shipping products at scale.
We'll be investing hundreds of people and hundreds of millions of dollars into this effort over the next few years. I'm excited to see breakthroughs on our 10 year roadmap in augmented and virtual reality, Artificial Intelligence, connectivity and other important areas. "

A summary from 2003 by DARPA explaining the various R&D that's going on at the time. LifeLog was/is part of something bigger. Much, much bigger. A grand plan of futuristic technology merging with humans.
And this merging of tech with humans is part of a bigger plan: weapons. This research and development is sold to the public as futuristic defense weapons against, well, anything from terrorists to foreign states.
Now, 16 years later, we find out the truth: these weapons are used against us: The People. The obvious reason is control. This is evil.
Fascinating read. Big eye-opener.

RE: Priscilla Chan (We are going to need a separate thread for this most likely)
WHAT:
Per instructions from Q to "focus on wife" here is a start to one angle of digging that may be important:
Wife is a doctor and apparent instigator for projects highlighted in this post.
Zuck and his lady have given immense amounts of money recently toward broad scope of medical research and infrastructure, spanning from medicine to organ donation to general science to AI, literally having 50 scientists on payroll and physical facilities. The have done this to great public acclaim, generating fabulous PR - none kept secret, no anonymous giving here. They telegraphed a future $45 billion expenditure to unspecified charitable-seeming activities that are nonetheless not promised to charities, but only to their LLC organization.
WHY IMPORTANT: They have become in short order owners of a vast, ongoing scientific research initiative that will rival anything else in the world. Hypotethetically they could do anything under auspices of these projects, because A) PR has established it all as almost quixotically idealistic, to "cure all human disease", B) also established as quasi-charitable, thus shielded from cynics, and C) therefore potentially allowing work outside the realm of ethical or legal purview, hiding in plain sight.

Digging into Zuckerbergs wife, this thread of info cropped up. It's interesting to follow when viewed with Q's other drops about the intel gathering of FB.
"The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a limited liability company established and owned by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan with an investment of "up to $1 billion in Facebook shares in each of the next three years".[2][3][4] Its creation was announced on December 1, 2015, for the birth of their daughter, Maxima Chan Zuckerberg.[2]
The aim of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is to "advance human potential and promote equality in areas such as health, education, scientific research and energy".[2] On March 6, 2018 the Harvard Gazette published that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative would pledge $30 million to the Reach Every Reader project, both Harvard's President Drew Faust and MIT's President L. Rafael Reif were quoted in the article, as was Priscilla Chan, HGSE Dean James E. Ryan, and MIT's Sanjay Sarma, VP for Open Learning at MIT, and others. The article states: "To make significant progress in early literacy at scale, the team will engage in a rigorous, scientific approach to personalized diagnosis and intervention. They will develop and test a scalable, web-based screening tool for reading difficulties that diagnoses the underlying causes, and a set of targeted home/school interventions that change the way we approach intervention for young children with reading difficulties."[5]

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's first acquisition took place in January 2017 with the acquisition of Meta Inc., a Toronto-based Artificial Intelligence scientific literature search engine[7]. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative chose to invest $24 million in Andela. Andela is a startup focused on training software developers in Africa through their bootcamp and four-year fellowship program, during which they pair their trainees with U.S. companies needing development help. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative led the company's Series B funding.[8]
On September 8, 2016, education startup Byju's announced raising $50 million in a round co-led by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Sequoia Capital, along with investors Sofina, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Times Internet. The funding has been raised to fuel their international expansion.[9][10]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative
Of note, at least to me, were some of the, "investments." Meta in Canada, subject: Search engine AI. Hmmm.
The next one, Andela:
"Andela was founded in 2014 by four professionals who were working in the online education and recruitment business. The founders, Ian Carnevale, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Jeremy Johnson from 2U and Christina Sass,[4] started Andela as a training company to match developers in emerging markets not known as technology hubs[5] with North American companies. In June 2016, the company received funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. In 2017, Andela raised $40 million in Series C funding. The investment came from CRE Venture Capital, DBL Partners, Amplo, Salesforce Ventures and TLcom Capital, becoming one of the most highly funded African companies not based in Africa.[6]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andela

Siri Wiki-
Development[edit]
Siri is a spin-out from the SRI International Artificial Intelligence Center, and is an offshoot of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA)-funded CALO project.[3] It was co-founded by Dag Kittlaus, Adam Cheyer, and Tom Gruber.[3]
Siri's speech recognition engine was provided by Nuance Communications, a speech technology company.[4] This was not officially acknowledged by Apple nor Nuance for years,[5][6] until Nuance CEO Paul Ricci confirmed the information at a 2011 technology conference.[4] The speech recognition system makes use of sophisticated machine learning techniques, including convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory.[7]
The initial Siri prototype was implemented using the Active platform, a joint project between the Artificial Intelligence Center of SRI International and the Vrai Group at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The Active platform was the focus of a PhD thesis led by Didier Guzzoni, who joined Siri as its chief scientist.[8]
Apple's first notion of a digital personal assistant was originally a concept video in 1987, called the Knowledge Navigator.[9][10]

- In 2012, she left government to take an executive role at Google.
- In 2015, she attended the Bilderberg conference in Austria discussing Artificial Intelligence.
- In 2016, she left Google and joined Facebook to lead a newly formed team called Building 8.
Regina Dugan told an audience at the 2013 All Things D11 Conference that her company was working on a microchip inside a pill that users would swallow daily in order obtain the "superpower" of having their entire body act as a biological authentication system for cellphones, cars, doors and other devices. Some would call Regina a totalitarian transhumanist. This was the person behind Building 8.
Not only does Facebook (DeepState) want to use the same type surveillance platform as China's for the U.S. market, but they want to use technology that would extract information out of your brain - whether you like it or not - information that you would consent to, but they "promise" to not manipulate it or you. Think about that.
The US government has alleged for years that Huawei has ties to the Chinese government and named Huawei and ZTE as serious risks to national security, claiming that their devices could spy on US citizens and send information back to Beijing. Even the heads of the FBI, CIA, and NSA all recommended that US citizens stay away from their devices. The revelation from Facebook that Huawei had access to user data has caused major concern.

The Pentagon canceled its so-called lifelog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person's entire existence.
https://www.wired.com/2004/02/pentagon-kills-lifelog-project/
PENTAGON KILLS LIFELOG PROJECT
THE PENTAGON CANCELED its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person's entire existence.
Run by Darpa, the Defense Department's research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. Out of this seemingly endless ocean of information, computer scientists would plot distinctive routes in the data, mapping relationships, memories, events and experiences.
LifeLog's backers said the all-encompassing diary could have turned into a near-perfect digital memory, giving its users computerized assistants with an almost flawless recall of what they had done in the past. But civil libertarians immediately pounced on the project when it debuted last spring, arguing that LifeLog could become the ultimate tool for profiling potential enemies of the state.
Researchers close to the project say they're not sure why it was dropped late last month. Darpa hasn't provided an explanation for LifeLog's quiet cancellation. "A change in priorities" is the only rationale agency spokeswoman Jan Walker gave to Wired News.
However, related Darpa efforts concerning software secretaries and mechanical brains are still moving ahead as planned.
LifeLog is the latest in a series of controversial programs that have been canceled by Darpa in recent months. The Terrorism Information Awareness, or TIA, data-mining initiative was eliminated by Congress - although many analysts believe its research continues on the classified side of the Pentagon's ledger. The Policy Analysis Market (or FutureMap), which provided a stock market of sorts for people to bet on terror strikes, was almost immediately withdrawn after its details came to light in July.
"I've always thought (LifeLog) would be the third program (after TIA and FutureMap) that could raise eyebrows if they didn't make it clear how privacy concerns would be met," said Peter Harsha, director of government affairs for the Computing Research Association.
"Darpa's pretty gun-shy now," added Lee Tien, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has been critical of many agency efforts. "After TIA, they discovered they weren't ready to deal with the firestorm of criticism."
That's too bad, Artificial-Intelligence researchers say. LifeLog would have addressed one of the key issues in developing computers that can think: how to take the unstructured mess of life, and recall it as discreet episodes - a trip to Washington, a sushi dinner, construction of a house.
"Obviously we're quite disappointed," said Howard Shrobe, who led a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory which spent weeks preparing a bid for a LifeLog contract. "We were very interested in the research focus of the program … how to help a person capture and organize his or her experience. This is a theme with great importance to both AI and cognitive science."
To Tien, the project's cancellation means "it's just not tenable for Darpa to say anymore, 'We're just doing the technology, we have no responsibility for how it's used.'"
Private-sector research in this area is proceeding. At Microsoft, for example, minicomputer pioneer Gordon Bell's program, MyLifeBits, continues to develop ways to sort and store memories.
David Karger, Shrobe's colleague at MIT, thinks such efforts will still go on at Darpa, too.
"I am sure that such research will continue to be funded under some other title," wrote Karger in an e-mail. "I can't imagine Darpa 'dropping out' of such a key research area.

Facebook's secretive hardware team signs rapid collaboration deal with 17 universities
Facebook's shadowy Building 8 research team needs help from academia to invent futuristic hardware. But today's pace of innovation doesn't allow for the standard 9-12 month turnaround time it takes universities to strike one-off research partnerships with private companies.
Enter SARA, aka Facebook's "Sponsored Academic Research Agreement." It's a deal forged by Building 8 head Regina Dugan with 17 top universities to get collaboration on new projects started in just weeks or even days. SARA eliminates the need for time-consuming further negotiation and faculty approvals.
In return for their labor, the universities will be paid a fee by Facebook. They'll also gain a focus for their research that will actually become a reality rather than staying theoretical.
The full list of universities on board is: Stanford, MIT, Harvard University, Caltech, Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Rice, UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, Northeastern, Princeton, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Arizona State University, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, plus Canada's University of Waterloo.
Facebook refused to say what these schools will help it work on.
Previously, Facebook has collaborated with universities by providing them with state-of-the-art servers so they can help it investigate Artificial Intelligence. It's already working with more than 100 universities on research collaborations, and provides fellowships.

Here's What Facebook's New DARPA-esque "Building 8" Lab May Work On
"By Mike Brown on April 14, 2016
Facebook has revealed the existence of a new group called "Building 8," dedicated to researching and developing exciting new hardware products. "We'll be investing hundreds of people and hundreds of millions of dollars into this effort over the next few years," Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday, explaining that the team will be working based on the 10-year roadmap made public at the F8 conference.
Zuckerberg has hired Regina Dugan, the former head of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to spearhead the new lab.
So, what exactly could this secretive team be working on? Zuckerberg says the team will be working on "augmented and virtual reality, Artificial Intelligence, connectivity and other important areas." Here's what that means.
Augmented and virtual reality
The Wall Street Journal said that Building 8 will focus on making hardware similar to the 360-degree camera the company showed off earlier this week. The Facebook Surround 360 can capture everything in its surroundings in 3D, ideal for capturing video for virtual reality playback. The device is open-sourced, so hardware makers can come up with their own takes on the internals and build their own versions."

For the Regina Dugan question.
>Facebook Hired a Former DARPA Head To Lead An Ambitious New Research Lab
If you need another sign that Facebook's world-dominating ambitions are just getting started, here's one: the Menlo Park, Calif. company has hired a former DARPA chief to lead its new research lab.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced April 14 that Regina Dugan will guide Building 8, a new research group developing hardware projects that advance the company's efforts in virtual reality, augmented reality, Artificial Intelligence and global connectivity.
Dugan served as the head of the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency from 2009 and 2012. Most recently, she led Google's Advanced Technology and Projects Lab, a highly experimental arm of the company responsible for developing new hardware and software products on a strict two-year timetable.
Dugan will bring the same sink-or-swim mindset to Facebook. "This method is characterized by aggressive, fixed timelines, extensive use of partnerships with universities, small and large businesses, and clear objectives for shipping products at scale," Zuckerberg said in a post announcing the hire.
The new lab underscores just how far Facebook plans to extend beyond its social media roots. The company has made plays at controlling hardware in the past-remember Facebook Home, the software that transformed an Android phone into a Facebook-driven mobile experience? That effort flopped, but now the company seems more focused on making bets in unestablished markets. Facebook was first to market with a high-end, consumer-friendly virtual reality headset with the Oculus Rift. And this week, the company announced that it is releasing the hardware and software specs for a new 360-degree camera that could help creators generate compelling content for Rift owners. That kind of project, which blends hardware and software to benefit another division in Facebook's empire, is exactly the type of thing Dugan and Building 8 will be working on in the future, Facebook chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer told the Wall Street Journal.

Obama in Calgary: Climate change chaos making politics more toxic
Obama's Calgary appearance draws crowd
Jordan Kanygin recaps the former U.S. president's speaking engagement at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
CALGARY – Former United States president Barack Obama called on global leaders to pay attention to the ways the world is rapidly transforming, urging action on climate change and wealth inequality in speeches in Western Canada on Tuesday.
Obama spoke first to a near-full arena in Calgary, home to several oil and gas company headquarters that are replete with empty office space due to a years-long industry downturn.
"All of us are going to have to recognize that there are trade-offs involved with how we live, how our economy is structured and the world that we're going to be passing on to our kids and grandkids," Obama said. "Nobody is exempt from that conversation."
He said fossil fuels have provided a cheap and plentiful source of energy since the Industrial Revolution. The remark drew a loud whistle and applause from the audience.
The crowd also clapped when Obama said there is indisputable science that the planet is getting warmer.
"At the current pace that we are on, the scale of tragedy that will consume humanity is something we have not seen in perhaps recorded history if we don't do something about it."
Rising oceans will displace populations from coastal areas and climate change is also having an effect on the prevalence of insect-borne diseases, he said.
"Moose right now (have) to deal with tick-borne diseases that they didn't have to do 10, 15 years ago," Obama said. "I really like moose. I assume Canadians, you, do too."
He said the question becomes how to build recognition, not just generally, but in places such as Alberta, that newer energy sources need to be developed and older ones have to be cleaned up.
Obama said the chaos wrought by global climate change will make politics more toxic.
"Imagine when you have not a few hundred thousand migrants who are escaping poverty or violence or disease, but you now have millions," he said. "Imagine if you start seeing monsoon patterns in the Indian subcontinent changing so that half a billion people can't grow food and are displaced."
The same engineering prowess that's been used to tap tough-to-access oil can be directed toward finding cleaner sources, Obama suggested.
"You guys can figure it out, but you've got to be open to it."
Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline in 2015 after years in regulatory limbo. The proposed project, which would allow more oilsands crude to flow to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, has the support of his successor, President Donald Trump, but the pipeline remains mired in state-level legal wrangling.
Obama recalled with a mixture of amusement and frustration how in 2015 Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, then chairman of the environment committee, brandished a snowball on the senate floor to dispute climate science.
"You laugh. This happened," he said. "That's not a good way of approaching problems."
Obama later spoke to a sold-out crowd of thousands at a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade event, where he said being president gave him insight into how quickly the world is changing.
Globalization, automation, the internet and social media have accelerated the ability of some businesses, such as those in Silicon Valley, to rapidly expand, he said. But at the same time, these innovations have displaced some workers who used to lead secure middle-class lives and led to culture clashes, he said.
Current U.S. politics, Brexit and the rise of far-right nationalism in Europe can all be seen as responses to these forces, he said.
He said he worries about the sustainability of an economic order with such a vast wealth gap.
"You start getting extreme political movements in reaction," he said, adding: "These changes are just beginning."
Obama said he expects Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize the job market over the next 25 to 50 years, pushing out many high-skilled workers. He expressed concern that countries are not well-prepared for the shift, although he said Canada is likely better positioned than the United States because it has a more robust social welfare system.
He also criticized the Republican party for embracing right-wing populism, and he traced it back to the late senator John McCain's decision to select then-Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate in the 2008 presidential race.
"That was the moment when the Republican party changed," he said.
There has always been a strain of nativism and suspicion of elites in the party, he said, but Palin brought those attitudes to the fore and laid the groundwork for Trump's presidency.

These Cameras Can Spot Shoplifters Even Before They Steal
It's watching, and knows a crime is about to take place before it happens.
Vaak, a Japanese startup, has developed Artificial Intelligence software that hunts for potential shoplifters, using footage from security cameras for fidgeting, restlessness and other potentially suspicious body language.
While AI is usually envisioned as a smart personal assistant or self-driving car, it turns out the technology is pretty good at spotting nefarious behavior. Like a scene out of the movie "Minority Report," algorithms analyze security-camera footage and alert staff about potential thieves via a smartphone app. The goal is prevention; if the target is approached and asked if they need help, there's a good chance the theft never happens.
Vaak made headlines last year when it helped to nab a shoplifter at a convenience store in Yokohama. Vaak had set up its software in the shop as a test case, which picked up on previously undetected shoplifting activity. The perpetrator was arrested a few days later.

Canada Creates 'Risk Tracking Database' with Disturbing Parallels to China's Social Credit System 28 Feb 2019
Police in Canada free 43 Mexicans from near slavery
AFP GREG BAKER
The benevolent goal of the program is to find at-risk people before they are victimized or harm themselves, but the resulting system has disturbing parallels to the decidedly non-benevolent "social credit system" created by China's pervasive surveillance state.
Motherboard's Wednesday report on the RTD implied a bit of journalistic digging was required to suss out the details of the program, saying:
Documents obtained by Motherboard from Ontario's Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) through an access to information request show that at least two provinces Ontario and Saskatchewan - maintain a "Risk-driven Tracking Database" that is used to amass highly sensitive information about people's lives. Information in the database includes whether a person uses drugs, has been the victim of an assault, or lives in a "negative neighborhood."
The Risk-driven Tracking Database (RTD) is part of a collaborative approach to policing called the Hub model that partners cops, school staff, social workers, health care workers, and the provincial government.
Information about people believed to be "at risk" of becoming criminals or victims of harm is shared between civilian agencies and police and is added to the database when a person is being evaluated for a rapid intervention intended to lower their risk levels. Interventions can range from a door knock and a chat to forced hospitalization or arrest.
Data from the RTD is analyzed to identify trends - for example, a spike in drug use in a particular area - with the goal of producing planning data to deploy resources effectively, and create "community profiles" that could accelerate interventions under the Hub model, according to a 2015 Public Safety Canada report.
Officials claim all of this data is "de-identified" by removing personal details such as name and date of birth, although data processing experts were deeply skeptical that would be possible to render such an intricate database completely anonymous. When a database includes over 100 details about a person's life, removing their name does not ensure anonymity.
The RTD (frequently referred to as "The Hub") was defended by officials as a compassionate project, but some of its "interventions" are clearly compulsive, such as the involuntary hospitalization mentioned above and interventions performed without consent for children as young as six. In at least one instance reviewed by Motherboard, the person "helped" by the Hub landed in jail.
Officials reportedly have the discretion to decide consent is unnecessary if the subject of their ministrations is "at high risk of harm." Among the risk factors evaluated by the system is mental health, including "suspected" mental health issues. One of the data sources for evaluating risk levels was Facebook, although some local officials told Motherboard it is no longer used. The privacy guidelines provided to local authorities are merely suggestions they are "strongly encouraged" to follow.
Some of the concerns about the RTD system are common to discussions about massive databases and Artificial Intelligence systems, which can scan and filter information with such speed and power that it redefines concepts like privacy and consent. A dozen relatively innocuous databases can be fused into a significant threat to privacy by algorithms that can tie the information together in the right way. Or perhaps in the wrongway, as Motherboard quotes concerns about the system making incorrect inferences or misidentifying people.
China's social credit system was initially touted with benevolent promises comparable to those made for the RTD, but it quickly grew into a surveillance nightmare whose conclusions can deny citizens access to employment, social services, and travel. Subjective mental health criteria such as "suspected" mental illness give the system many tools for designating an individual "problematic," and the consequences in Canada can already be more severe than a polite knock on the door and cheery offer of assistance.

Q Research General #7014: Between The Lines Edition
The Real Reason Why Globalists Are So Obsessed With Artificial Intelligence
It is nearly impossible to traverse web news or popular media today without being assaulted by vast amounts of propaganda on Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is perhaps the fad to end all fads as it supposedly encompasses almost every aspect of human existence, from economics and security to philosophy and art. According to mainstream claims, AI can do almost everything and do it better than any human being. And, the things AI can't do, it WILL be able to do eventually.
Whenever the establishment attempts to saturate the media with a particular narrative, it is usually with the intent to manipulate public perception in a way that produces self fulfilling prophecy. In other words, they hope to shape reality by telling a particular lie so often it becomes accepted by the masses over time as fact. They do this with the idea of globalism as inevitable, with the junk science of climate change as "undeniable" and they do it with AI as a technological necessity.
The globalists have long held AI as a kind of holy grail in centralization technology. The United Nations has adopted numerous positions and even summits on the issue, including the "AI For Good" summit in Geneva. The UN insinuates that it's primary interest in AI is in regulation or observation of how it is exploited, but the UN also has clear goals to use AI to its advantage. The use of AI as a means to monitor mass data to better institute "sustainable development" is written clearly in the UN's agenda.
The IMF is also in on the AI trend, holding global discussions on the uses of AI in economics as well as the effects of algorithms on economic analysis.
The main source for the development of AI has long been DARPA. The military and globalist think tank dumps billions of dollars into the technology, making AI the underlying focus of most of DARPA's work. AI is not only on the globalist's radar; they are essentially spearheading the creation and promotion of it.
The globalist desire for the technology is not as simple as some might assume, however. They have strategic reasons, but also religious reasons for placing AI on an ideological pedestal.But first I suppose we should tackle the obvious.
In most white papers written by globalist institutions on AI, the thrust centers on mass data collection and surveillance. The elites are careful to always assert that their interests focus on the public good. This is why the UN and other agencies argue that they should be the leaders in oversight of mass data collection. That is to say, they want us to believe that they are objective and trustworthy enough to manage rules for data surveillance, or, to manage the data itself.
For the safety of the public, the globalists want centralized management of all data collection, ostensibly to save us from those evil corporations and their invasion of data privacy. Of course, most of those corporations are also run by globalists that fill the guest books of events like the World Economic Forum to discuss the advancements and advantages of AI. The WEF has made it a mandate that AI be promoted widely and that the business world and the general public be convinced of AI's advantages. Bias against AI must be prevented…
So, what we have here is yet another false paradigm in which globalist institutions are opposed to corporations in terms of how AI is used. Yet, globalist corporations and globalist institutions both develop AI as well as pro-AI sentiment. The public, with its innate distrust of corporate moral compass, is supposed to be convinced to support UN regulatory reforms as a counterbalance. But in reality, corporate powers have no intention of fighting against UN control, they will ultimately welcome it.
This was the goal all along.

The bullet is even capable of making some remarkably sharp course corrections.
DARPA claims that the system is so easy to use that, during testing, a novice shooter using the system for the first time was able to squarely hit a moving target.
Making superhuman soldiers
Coming soon to a battlefield near you: DARPA has developed an incredible exoskeleton - a wearable mobile machine - which transforms any infantryman into a super soldier.
Made with help from researchers at Harvardâ?™s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, DARPAâ?™s Soft Exosuit is a lightweight skeleton frame which saves soldiersâ?™ energy when going about their battlefield business.
The sci-fi exoskeleton can augment its wearerâ?™s strength and endurance by assisting with movements and taking on some of the physical burdens of walking over long distances and carrying heavy objects, using in-built sensors and a micro-computer to intelligently match the requirements of its user.
A new study, where the suit was tested by seven soldiers on a 12-mile cross-country hike in Maryland, showed it reduced energy consumption by around 15 per cent, making troops more efficient and able to cover more ground.
Terminator robots which could destroy humanity
One of DARPAâ?™s big interests is the baffling world of Artificial Intelligence â?" smart computers which are capable of thinking in a similar way to humans.
Dr Steven Walker, the director at the head of the controversial agency, is currently funnelling a $2 billion (£1.55bn) investment into exploring how machines can be taught to communicate and reason in the same way we do.
The aim is to create lightning-fast military computers which can adapt to new situations, analyse battlefield data and ultimately advise soldiers and planners in the heat of a conflict, where every second counts.
However, AI has its critics, who warn that turning over the work of military analysis to machines creates the risk of a Skynet-style computer which could turn its considerable knowledge and power against humanity.
AI expert Professor Michael Horowitz, from the University of Pennsylvania, has said in interviews: â??Thereâ?™s a lot of concern about AI safety â?" [about] algorithms that are unable to adapt to complex reality and thus malfunction in unpredictable ways.
â??Itâ?™s one thing if what youâ?™re talking about is a Google search, but itâ?™s another thing if what youâ?™re talking about is a weapons system.â?
Fake limbs controlled by the brain and super-people
Other DARPA research projects include the creation of prosthetic limbs with the full range of movement of the real thing.
Geoff Ling, a neurology ICU physician, has even developed a mind-controlled prosthetic arm which the wearer controls with their thoughts.
Other incredible prosthetic limbs created by the research agency can offer a range of natural movements which the wearer controls via sensors placed elsewhere on their body.
However, conspiracy theorists claim that this is just cover for plans to develop better and more sophisticated fake limbs which can eventually be fitted to robot soldiers and other war machines.
This is something which Ling has publicly denied, stating that the US government has put limits on DARPAâ?™s powers to develop killer robots or a â??super-personâ?.

Scientists Want Orwellian A.I. Sentient Smart Assistants To Snitch On Owners And Discuss Contacting Police
Smart assistants like Siri, Google Home, and Amazon Echo could soon be implemented with a "moral AI" to decide whether to report their owners for breaking the law.
Scientists at the University of Bergen, Norway proposed the incredibly Orwellian idea of inserting morals into A.I. code at the ACM conference in Hawaii on Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Society, Dailymail reported.
Yes, you read that right, scientists want to make that little hunk of metal of invasive technology even more invasive.
The researchers are pushing for what's being deemed, enhanced ethical smart software that could be potentially one of the most dangerous implementations into these home assistants leading them to become sentient and deciding human beings' fates; and not just any human beings, their own owners. As a result, millions of people would be under constant surveillance not even requiring a snitch program like Amazon's Ring doorbell spyware as Activist Post previously reported.
No, instead, little tin cans would be doing the watching that are sold as alleged "home assistants."
The research was led by Marija Slavkovik, an associate professor in the department of information science and media studies. As well as by two other professors at the University of Luxembourg and Zhejiang University, Leon van der Torre and Beishui Liao.

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/news/googles-alphabet-in-talks-with-saudi-arabias-aramco-on-data-center-tech-hub-joint-venture/
According to people familiar with the matter, senior executives at Alphabet and Aramco have been in discussions for months - with Alphabet CEO and Google co-founder Larry Page among those involved. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the heir apparent, has encouraged the talks.
The deal is in the initial stages, with key details still to be worked out, and could well not progress to reality. It is also unclear who would control the data centers, and the data within them.
Should the venture go ahead, it could be listed on the stock exchange, separately from Aramco - the world's most valuable company - which is expected to go public this year after numerous delays, potentially reaching a valuation between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion.
Meanwhile, Amazon Web Services is considering launching three data centers in the country, with WSJ reporting the $1bn deal is close to being finalized. Both Amazon and Alphabet have set their eyes on the Middle Eastern nation after Riyadh eased regulatory hurdles for foreign investment, reduced limits on foreign ownership, and took steps to embrace technology.
Using part of the funds obtained from selling five percent of Aramco, Prince Mohammed hopes to pursue the Vision 2030 initiative, a plan to modernize Saudi Arabia and turn it into a tech leader. The prince has tried to improve the nation's ties with Silicon Valley, and even invested in Uber. As the largest investor in SoftBank's Vision Fund, the Saudi government maintains billions in technology stocks.
But the Vision 2030 plan remains in its early stages, a mixture of promise, hype and potentially grand, record-breaking infrastructure projects. Foremost among them is Neom, a city planned on the border of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt. Led by former Siemens CEO Klaus Kleinfeld, the initiative hopes to create a data-intensive, highly-automated smart city with a starting investment of $500 billion.
The fact sheet on the project states: "[Neom] Includes Artificial Intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, data centers, the Internet of Things and e-commerce."
Questions remain on matters of data protection across the country as a whole. Saudi authorities generally do not require a court order to access private user data, a fact that may be of concern for Western technology companies.

A message/veiled threat to anons? Lots of bee stuff lately in the news and twitter
The oval-shaped brain of a honeybee is roughly the size of a single sesame seed. It contains fewer than 1 million neurons, while the human brain contains 100 billion.
A team of entomologists is asking what all those extra nerve cells are good for after finding that bees can do the kind of fundamental mathematics once thought to distinguish humans and the primate animals they most closely resemble.
Many animals display some degree of quantitative understanding as they forage and fight, hoard and hide and find their way back home. Counting, for instance, is pervasive.
But bees can do something more, according to a paper published earlier this month in the peer-reviewed Science Advances journal. They can add and subtract, placing one of the world's leading pollinators in the venerable company of monkeys, parrots and, yes, spiders - the cognitive A-list of the animal kingdom.
The findings contribute to a growing body of evidence that the brains of insects are more powerful than once thought - capable not just of a vague numerical sense but of the sort of learning and complex memory tasks that make arithmetic possible. It also sheds light on the evolution of quantitative abilities in other species, decoupling numerical understanding from human language.
"A small biological processing system can perform quite complex things," said Scarlett Howard, the paper's lead author and a postdoctoral fellow at the French National Center for Scientific Research.
The small neural network employed by bees, she said in an interview with The Washington Post, points to a possible alternative to high-energy computing, suggesting that Artificial Intelligence should seek to model natural systems "that have evolved in complex and challenging environments."

Internet Trolls Are Turning Facebook's Content Moderators Into Rabid 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists
Some of the people responsible for moderating content on Facebook are suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome while others are morphing into rabid conspiracy theorists, The Verge reported Monday.
Many of the employees at Facebook contractor Cognizant are having meltdowns while attempting to moderate the vast troves of content people post on the social media platform. Combing through people's content is turning Cognizant's Arizona office into a dark and sinister place, the report noted, citing interviews with moderators.
Several moderators told a reporter that conspiracy theories took strong root at the office. The 2018 Parkland shooting, which resulted in 17 casualties in Florida, initially horrified staff, moderators said. One person The Verge called Chloe, for instance, claimed her colleagues eventually began expressing doubts about the initial story as more conspiracy content was posted to Facebook and Instagram.
"People really started to believe these posts they were supposed to be moderating," she said. "They were saying, 'Oh gosh, they weren't really there. Look at this CNN video of David Hogg - he's too old to be in school.' People started Googling things instead of doing their jobs and looking into conspiracy theories about them."
Chloe added: "We were like, 'Guys, no, this is the crazy stuff we're supposed to be moderating. What are you doing?'" Others employees reported similar experiences. Moderating posts gave another moderator named Randy a form of PTSD and made him think weird thoughts about reality.
After seeing vast numbers of videos claiming the 9/11 terrorist attack was an inside job, he came to believe them. Randy also claims conspiracy videos about the Las Vegas massacre were also very persuasive - he also now believes that multiple shooters were responsible for the attack. (RELATED: Does The Parkland Shooter Deserve To Die? Broward County High School Pulls Assignment Asking Students This Question)
"I'm fucked up, man," Randy told The Verge, referring to his mental state after working at the Arizona center for roughly a year. "My mental health - it's just so up and down. One day I can be really happy, and doing really good. The next day, I'm more or less of a zombie. It's not that I'm depressed. I'm just stuck."
One moderator refutes these allegations. The majority of the content is benign, Brad, who holds the title of policy manager, told a reporter. "Most of the stuff we see is mild, very mild. It's people going on rants," he said. "It's people reporting photos or videos simply because they don't want to see it - not because there's any issue with the content. That's really the majority of the stuff that we see."
This is not the first time a Facebook moderator has complained about the dredge work. One former employee named Selena Scola filed a lawsuit against the Silicon Valley giant in December 2018, alleging that her job gave her PTSD - a claim her lawyers are using to seek a chain reaction that leads to a class-action lawsuit.
Facebook uses more than 7,500 content reviewers worldwide to ensure its content is appropriate, but the company is pursuing Artificial Intelligence options that one day could replace human workers, reported Fox News. Facebook acknowledged that there are sometimes times when employees will be unsatisfied.
"We are taking steps to be extremely transparent about the expectations we have of our partners," a company spokeswoman told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Tech Billionaire Allegedly Behind A False Flag Operation Played A Role In Creating Fake News Software, Nonprofit Confirms
Reid Hoffman, a billionaire who was allegedly involved in a false information campaign in Alabama, played a crucial role in developing software capable of creating "deepfake" news articles, sources confirmed.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk suggests he distanced himself from OpenAI in 2018 after disagreements about the direction researchers were taking the group.
One of the big tech billionaires responsible for financing a project creating "deepfake" news articles is a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and Democratic donor.
The liberal billionaire who allegedly backed a misinformation campaign during the midterm elections played a significant role in funding a group responsible for creating a controversial fake news project.
Reid Hoffman greatly increased his financial contributions to Artificial Intelligence research group OpenAI, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned. The group recently developed software allowing people with the know-how to craft so-called "deepfake" news articles, The Guardian reported.
"OpenAI has lots of co-founders, by the way, with most involved ones being our CTO Greg Brockman and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever," Jack Clark, the nonprofit's head of policy, told TheDCNF, referring to OpenAI executives Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever.
Clark confirmed the LinkedIn founder stepped up his funding in 2018.
News of Hoffman's role in the project comes at a strange time for both OpenAI and the tech guru. The wealthy Democratic donor became embroiled in controversy after The New York Times and other outlets reported in December 2018 and January about his role in a false flag operation in Alabama.

"Bee colonies-inspired tool to help dismantle terrorist cells, criminal social networks"
Published 18 April 2017
Researchers have designed an algorithm, inspired by the intelligent and social behavior of bee colonies, which allows law enforcement to attack and dismantle any type of social network that poses a threat, whether physical or virtual, such as social networks linked to organized crime and jihadist terrorism. The possible applications of this new bio-inspired algorithm, which helps to make optimal decisions in order to dismantle any type of social network, are many and varied: from dismantling a criminal network to facilitating the design of vaccination strategies capable of containing the spread of a pandemic.
Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) have designed an algorithm, inspired by the intelligent and social behavior of bee colonies, which allows law enforcement to attack and dismantle any type of social network that poses a threat, whether physical or virtual, such as social networks linked to organized crime and jihadist terrorism.
The possible applications of this new bio-inspired algorithm, which helps to make optimal decisions in order to dismantle any type of social network, are many and varied: from dismantling a criminal network to facilitating the design of vaccination strategies capable of containing the spread of a pandemic.
UGR notes that the tool designed by the UGR researchers automatically detects and identifies the most dangerous actors or nodes within a given social network and the density of the interconnected relationships between them, which may help law enforcement authorities make their decisions and act in the most efficient way possible.
As explained by one of the authors of this paper, Manuel Lozano Márquez, from the Department of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the UGR, "Bees form fairly well organized societies, in which each member has a specific role. There are three main types: scout bees, which are looking for food sources; worker bees, who collect food; and supervisor bees, who wait in the colony."
Data exchange and communication processes are established between those three roles, which makes the overall performance of the colony very profitable. The UGR scientists have simulated this behavior using in silico bees in order to find effective and efficient strategies to dismantle networks. The results of the experiments indicate that the proposed technique significantly improves, from a statistical point of view, the classic strategy used for attacking and dismantling social networks.
Social networks
Many complex interaction systems linked to nature and related to mankind are structured in a complex network - that is, they are made up of a series of interrelated actors. Social networks are a very recent example of this. Some networks are pernicious because of their potential to cause harm to people, critical
infrastructures and economic interests.
The classic (and also the most natural and intuitive) method for dismantling a network is to identify its main actors and take action on them. However, this strategy does not ensure that the resulting network is totally devoid of organizational and reconstructive power, and it may continue to cause harm.
"In order to find the most effective way of dismantling a network, it is necessary to develop and put into action an optimization process that analyzes a multitude of situations and selects the best option in the shortest time possible. It's similar to what a chess program does when identifying, predicting and checking the possible steps or paths that may occur in a game of chess from a given moment and movement," says Humberto Trujillo Mendoza from the Department of Methodology of Behavioral Sciences at the UGR and one of the authors of the paper.
As the authors explain, "The subtlety with which groups or colonies of relatively simple living beings (ants, termites, bees, etc.) are able to solve vital problems to survive is a proof of the effectiveness of evolution." By means of certain interrelationships among the members of a colony, a collective behavior emerges from that colony, and it allows them to efficiently react to problematic environmental situations. That task, applied by the UGR to the field of Artificial Intelligence, would be impossible to carry out by individual members of the colony.

He Committed Murder. Then He Graduated From an Elite Law School. Would You Hire Him as Your Attorney?
Last September, a group of academics and activists gathered at Princeton University to discuss the limits of Artificial Intelligence in public policy.
The longest debate concerned some of the most sensitive decisions in the justice system, like whether to release a person on bail or parole. Many in attendance were queasy about using algorithms to determine prison stays - not least because crime data tends to reflect racial bias. But one conference goer in particular stood out for his skepticism.
His name was Bruce Reilly. The deputy director of a New Orleans organization called VOTE, which advocates for the formerly incarcerated, Mr. Reilly is a minor celebrity in the field. He was a sounding board for the leader of the recent Florida ballot campaign that restored voting rights to up to 1.4 million former felons, and helped lead similar initiatives in Rhode Island and Louisiana.
Mr. Reilly, 45, has playful eyes, weathered skin and a boyish voice, and at Princeton, he wore a dark blazer that did not appear to be his natural uniform. Though it was barely midmorning, his shirt was already threatening to decamp from his pants as he turned to address a Princeton postdoctoral researcher sitting next to him.
"Statistically," Mr. Reilly told her, "the safest person to let out of prison is a murderer." The academic, Madelyn Sanfilippo, screwed up her face in apparent disbelief.
"You seem like a person who cares about statistics," Mr. Reilly continued, arguing that people convicted of lesser crimes often cycle in and out of prison, while someone serving a long sentence for murder has typically matured out of crime by the time he is released.
"That makes sense," Ms. Sanfilippo said, warming to the claim.
They talked amiably for a few more minutes. When they were done, Mr. Reilly turned and whispered in my ear: "She has no idea."

Microsoft : workers demand it drop $480 million U.S. Army contract
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Some Microsoft Corp employees on Friday demanded that the company cancel a $480 million hardware contract to supply the U.S. Army, with 94 workers signing a petition calling on the company to stop developing "any and all weapons technologies."
The organizing effort, described to Reuters by three Microsoft workers, offers the latest example in the last year of tech employees protesting cooperation with governments on emerging technologies.
Microsoft won a contract in November to supply the Army with at least 2,500 prototypes of augmented reality headsets, which digitally display contextual information in front of a user's eyes. The government has said the devices would be used on the battlefield and in training to improve soldiers "lethality, mobility and situational awareness."
In the petition to Microsoft executives, posted on Twitter, the workers said they "did not sign up to develop weapons, and we demand a say in how our work is used." They called on the company to develop "a public-facing acceptable use policy" for its technology and an external review board to publicly enforce it.
Microsoft said in a statement that it always appreciates employee feedback. It also referred to an October blog post by its president, Brad Smith, in which he said the company remained committed to assisting the military and would advocate for laws to ensure responsible use of new technologies.
The U.S. Army did not provide immediate comment.
Shares of Microsoft fell 7 cents to $110.90 after hours on Friday.
Though many governments want to draw upon the expertise of the biggest U.S. tech companies, employee resistance has added a new challenge to already complicated relationships.
Worker pushback led Alphabet Inc last year to announce it would not renew a Pentagon contract in which its Artificial Intelligence technology is used to analyze drone imagery.
In other cases, employee criticism has invited greater public scrutiny to deals, such as $10 billion cloud computing contract yet to be awarded and various contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Microsoft staff protest over Pentagon contract for augmented reality tech 'designed to kill people'
Dozens of Microsoft employees have demanded the company pull out of a contract with the US military to provide augmented reality technology, stating that they refuse to be complicit in "warfare and oppression."
Microsoft workers released a letter on Friday addressed to CEO Satya Nadella and President Brad Smith, in which they voiced opposition to the $479 million contract that aims to equip the US Army with up to 100,000 augmented reality headsets to be used in combat and for training. The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) will be based on a preexisting Microsoft technology called HoloLens. Released in March 2016, HoloLens is capable of interposing digital images on whatever its wearer sees.
Signed by more than 50 employees, the letter states that the IVAS contract marks the first time that Microsoft has "crossed the line into weapons development."
"The application of HoloLens within the IVAS system is designed to help people kill," they wrote. "It will be deployed on the battlefield, and works by turning warfare into a simulated 'video game,' further distancing soldiers from the grim stakes of war and the reality of bloodshed."
The employees said that they "did not sign up to develop weapons," and demanded more control over "how our work is used."
Microsoft acknowledged the petition - but insisted that the company has always been transparent and open to feedback from its workers.
"We always appreciate feedback from employees and provide many avenues for their voices to be heard," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement responding to the petition. "In fact, we heard from many employees throughout the fall. As we said then, we're committed to providing our technology to the US Department of Defense, which includes the US Army under this contract."
The statement promised that Microsoft, as an "active corporate citizen," would remain engaged in "the important ethical and public policy issues" surrounding Artificial Intelligence and the military.
Workers at America's tech giants have increasingly spoken out against their companies' business dealings with Intelligence agencies and the Pentagon. Firms such as Apple, Google and Amazon have all faced scrutiny from employees and the public alike for their shady dealings with the US government.
In June, Google backed out of a contract with the Pentagon after facing internal dissent from angry workers. The tech giant had been enlisted to provide the US military with an advanced AI that would improve the targeting capabilities of weaponized drones.
Microsoft, however, seems to be sticking to its Pentagon-friendly guns. In December, the company's president said that Microsoft would "provide the US military with access to the best technology… all the technology we create. Full stop." He added that he wanted "Silicon Valley to know just how ethical and honorable a tradition the military has."

The popular narrative around Artificial Intelligence research is that it's mainly a war between China and the United States. Not so fast, says Europe.
New data released today (Dec. 12) by the AI Index, a project to track the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, shows a trend of Europe releasing more papers than either the US or China. The data was assembled from Scopus, a citation database owned by scientific publishing company Elsevier.
If the current trend continues, China will soon overtake Europe in the number of papers published. The number of papers out of China grew 17% in 2017, compared to a 13% increase in the US, and 8% in Europe.

For all the money AI has made for big companies like Google and Facebook, this year companies have woken up to some of the pitfalls of the technology: It can easily become biased, there's no set code of ethics for the technology, and putting research into the real world too soon can cost lives.
While much of this catalyzed around Uber's self-driving car fatality, when a research vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in March, research showing racial and gender disparities in facial recognition, as well as reports highlighting the potential misuses of Artificial Intelligence have also brought new attention to the issues.

In other cases, employee criticism has invited greater public scrutiny to deals, such as $10 billion cloud computing contract yet to be awarded and various contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "

Anon theory based on Q's most recent spord
Q wants to communicate to true patriots in a manner which is inscrutable to Artificial Intelligence (and other advanced methods of parsing massive amounts of data for specific threads of communication). He is teaching us how to communicate with his team, saying over and over things like "learn our comms," and "you have more than you know," and pointing us to the keystone concept (which, after months, we never figured out until he outright told us what he meant), etc.
Q team came to the autists because we're better at this kind of cryptic communication than normies, but even we need to learn how to do it at his advanced, military-grade level. Perhaps they all talk to each other like this already? In other words, he needs to be able to reliably say something like BABY-ON-FLOOR-HANDS-IN-MOUTH-THE-START and we get what he's saying, while AI resources are left scrambling in the wind trying to figure out what we're saying.
To do this, I think he's building a completely unique channel of communication, not relying on any existing codes, because it has to be unique between the K[Y]S, if you catch my drift. Possibly, we must be able to have robust communication in the face of heavier and more creative attacks than we've previously seen. (Of course, he's also building a whole new normie-News organization to eventually replace the fayling emm ess emm, and he's doing lots of other things, but I'm here focused on the channel of communication that he's been cultivating with the autists on this board from the beginning.)
I actually noticed he was doing this first long ago, didn't know how to respond, and lazily assumed other anons were picking up on it, ones much smarter than me, then forgot it. But today's drops reminded me. I've seen glimpses of this happening from time to time, but I think ErnieTheBing (i.e. Q, aren't we beyond explaining everything yet?) wants us to go to a whole level we haven't even gotten to yet.
It has to be organic, or else he could've chosen a few of us and trained us long ago. And it has to be done out in the open, where everyone can see it, to preserve the anonymous protections. I'm sure others can find other attributes to flesh out this theory, so I'll leave that as exercise to readers. So, guise, let's go beyond the rotunda of kek we've cultivated and take up the BIG dropped glove he's thrown down. I'm not sure how to proceed beyond saying this here, but clearly he's confident we can do this, so I will quietly begin working in this direction going forward, and hope others get it better than I do.
Yes, while we're doing this, we need to leave crumbs for the normies, in fact huge amounts of crumbs, because they are hungry, but we need to create a way to communicate with Q that cannot be hacked by shills, AI, or even really smart bad clowns, who, in general, lack things like the earnest sincerity and hope we bring to the game.
Thought I would be all awesome in explaining this when I started writing, hopefully enough of you get the point with this.
Even if I'm right, Q probably won't confirm openly, so this will be a shot in the dark at first. I sprinkled a few normie-level cryptos into this message to convey the idea, but we can do better over time. Let's see what happens.

Note there were several Q posts linking Feinstein, Google, and China - specifically Shenzhen.
A data leak discovered by a Dutch internet expert has revealed over 2.5 million people who are under active surveillance by a Chinese government contractor.
The leaked data also showed about 6.7 million location data points linked to the people which were gathered within 24 hours, tagged with descriptions such as "mosque", "hotel," "internet cafe" and other places where surveillance cameras were likely to be found.
An exposed database maintained by Shenzhen-based facial-recognition technology company SenseNets Technology revealed ID card numbers, birth dates and location data which went.unprotected for months.

DARPA Thinks AI Could Help Troops Telepathically Control Machines
he Pentagon's research office is exploring how Artificial Intelligence can improve technologies that link troops' brains and bodies to military systems.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency recently began recruiting teams to research how AI tools could augment and enhance "next-generation neurotechnology." Through the program, officials ultimately aim to build AI into neural interfaces, a technology that lets people control, feel and interact with remote machines as though they were a part of their own body.
Impossible as they may sound, neural interfaces have already been used to allow people to control prosthetic limbs, translate thoughts into text, and telepathically fly drones. Through the Intelligent Neural Interfaces program, DARPA will explore how AIcan make these systems more durable, efficient and effective.
One of the biggest issues researchers face when developing neural interfaces is keeping the tech homed in on the right part of the brain. Our brains are constantly gaining and losing neurons, so the machines often need to be recalibrated as neural connections change.
But through Artificial Intelligence, researchers could train the interface to automatically pick up on these changes and recalibrate itself accordingly, DARPA wrote in the solicitation. Under the program's first track, teams would build algorithms that adjust the interface when neurons are lost or added, as well as if there's any interference between the system and the brain

Apple faces exposure, public backlash, and a loss of market share. Apple will be exposed more so for its illegal, unethical, and toxic manufacturing practices. This will create a worldwide awakening against the big corporation and cause a substantial loss of market share. This thread will cover the problems Apple faces in-depth, and use a SWOT Analysis to conclude the findings.
Apple Face ID, Artificial Intelligence, and surveillance which tracks everything you do, say, think, monitors your location, and sells your data to foreign countries and other big corporations–sounds like a utopia, right? Apple is involved in high-level treason against the USA, and more importantly, mankind. In a Bloomberg article, "The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies" by Jordan Robertson & Michael Riley, Apple is exposed as being part of the most significant supply chain attack in history. Unlike what usually happens to big corporations just paying a small fine and no one facing jail time, the American company and Chinese government will be held accountable. The main points of the article:
"In 2015, Amazon.com Inc. began quietly evaluating a startup called Elemental Technologies, a potential acquisition to help with a major expansion of its streaming video service, known today as Amazon Prime Video…Elemental's national security contracts weren't the main reason for the proposed acquisition, but they fit nicely with Amazon's government businesses, such as the highly secure cloud that Amazon Web Services (AWS) was building for the CIA."
"Elemental's servers could be found in Department of Defense data centers, the CIA's drone operations, and the onboard networks of Navy warships."
"Multiple people familiar with the matter say investigators found that the chips had been inserted at factories run by manufacturing subcontractors in China."
"One official says investigators found that it eventually affected almost 30 companies, including a major bank, government contractors, and the world's most valuable company, Apple Inc."
"One country in particular has an advantage executing this kind of attack: China, which by some estimates makes 75 percent of the world's mobile phones and 90 percent of its PCs."
"But that's just what U.S. investigators found: The chips had been inserted during the manufacturing process, two officials say, by operatives from a unit of the People's Liberation Army. In Supermicro, China's spies appear to have found a perfect conduit for what U.S. officials now describe as the most significant supply chain attack known to have been carried out against American companies."
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-used-a-tiny-chip-to-infiltrate-america-s-top-companies
Imagine what a foreign country could do to its enemies by actually manufacturing the tech used in their drones and naval warships. Think of a killswitch. Are you awake yet? Who would've thought with all the media hysteria about Russia and its criminal organizations, which…shocker…every country has some form of criminal enterprise, that China would be carrying out this attack? Now let's look at this situation from a business perspective.
These chips could also be placed in the smart, advanced, iPhones. They could be used, if they haven't already, to track your location, what you purchase, and sell the data, which is okay with some people, but why would you want a foreign country using this data to exploit you? It wouldn't be okay if Russia were doing this, so why should it be okay for China to be colluding with a trusted, reputable, American company in order to obtain this data? In the Marketing Strategy text, this is clearly not some mere, conspiracy theory, and it has already been somewhat addressed by the US Government outlined as such:
"In 2011 Apple and Google disclosed that certain features of their cell phones collect data on the phones' locations. Consumers and government officials saw this as an infringement on user privacy. The companies announced that users have the option to disable these features on their phones. However, this was not entirely true for Apple as some of its phones continued to collect location information even after users had disabled the feature. Apple attributed this to a glitch that it remedied with new software."

Q Research General #6681: Sleep Is Important Edition
Deep Beijing Surveillance Network Revealed as China Network Exposed
Chinese surveillance firm SenseNets is closely monitoring the movements of an estimated 2.5 million people in Xinjiang - an autonomous territory in northwest China - according to a massive data leak on the Beijing group's servers that was identified by the Dutch nonprofit organization GDI Foundation.
According to Victor Gevers, co-founder of GDI Foundation, the Beijing firm SenseNets Technology has "highly detailed and highly sensitive information" on millions of residents in China's Xinjiang which was laid open for anyone with the proper URL.
The breached data included residents' names, ID card numbers, addresses, dates of birth, employers, as well as a list of GPS coordinates updating in real time. The GPS data points were also marked with descriptions such as "mosque," "hotel" or "internet cafe."
"It was fully open and anyone without authentication had full administrative rights. You could go in the database and create, read, update and delete anything," Gevers - whose GDI group aims to "detect & analyze high risk 'criminal' opportunities, share the risk and vulnerabilities with everybody, inform the ones who are at risk and give free advice about a solution," said, cited by the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
According to Gevers, he quickly informed SenseNets of its vulnerability. Although the technology firm did not respond directly to him, they have since taken steps to protect their data, according to SCMP.
China has faced backlash from foreign governments and activists over the country's detention and surveillance of millions of its Muslim Uyghur minority. The Uyghurs, a Turkic ethnic group concentrated in the country's northwest, mainly in Xinjiang province, have an estimated population of about 10 million, although some estimates suggest that number is too low.
In recent years, Beijing has expanded its mass surveillance network, claiming to use Artificial Intelligence, facial recognition and massive data collection as a means to reduce crime rates in the countryside, an area the government claims is short of security forces.
In December 2018, a bathroom in the Baotu Spring Park in Jinan, the capital of China's Shandong province, saw the installation of facial-recognition technology in a toilet paper dispenser to cut down on theft and waste, Sputnik previously reported.

Trilateral Commissioner George Shultz Speaks On Emerging New World Order
Original Trilateral Commission member George P. Schulz is 98 years old, but is still talking about the New World Order with the same old talking points as from 45 years ago. Fellow TC member Henry Kissinger is 95 and Jimmy Carter is 94. ? TN Editor
George Shultz has observed that the world ahead will not be like the world behind us. His Project on Governance in an Emerging New World explores the challenge to governance posed by changing demographics, the information and communications revolution, emerging technologies, and new means of production of goods near where they are used. Its contributors aim to understand the impact of these global transformations on our democracy, our economy, and our national security and inform strategies for how best to proceed in a rapidly changing world.
New and rapid societal and technological changes are complicating governance around the globe and challenging traditional thinking. Demographic changes and migration are having a profound effect as some populations age and shrink while other countries expand. The information and communications revolution is making governance much more difficult and heightening the impact of diversity. Emerging technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence and automation, are bringing about a new industrial revolution, disrupting workforces and increasing military capabilities of both states and non-state actors. And new means of production such as additive manufacturing and automation are changing how, where, and what we produce. These changes are coming quickly, faster than governments have historically been able to respond.
Led by Hoover Distinguished Fellow George P. Shultz, his Project on Governance in an Emerging New World aims to understand these changes and inform strategies that both address the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities afforded by these dramatic shifts.
The project will feature a series of papers and events addressing how these changes are affecting democratic processes, the economy, and national security of the United States, and how they are affecting countries and regions, including Russia, China, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. A set of essays by the participants will accompany each event and provide thoughtful analysis of the challenges and opportunities.

Inside the world of India's cyborg artists
In October 2018, New York-based Christie's sold Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy, a AI-created portrait for $432,500. The piece was created by an art collective called Obvious using code uploaded by a 19-year old programmer Robbie Barrat on Github and training data scraped from WikiArt.
Their thesis, published in the August 2018 edition of art journal Critical Collective, takes issue with art's obsession with the past and proposes that artists must find ways of co-creating the future, "like the Soviet modernists of the pre-Stalin era who collectively dreamed of the future".

An AI helped us write this article
An impressive new language AI writes product reviews and news articles. Its creators are worried about misuse.
One of the coolest AI systems I've ever seen may also be the one that will kick me out of my job.
Earlier this week, I attended a demo with a research team at OpenAI, the San Francisco nonprofit that's right up there with top tech companies in conducting impressive new research on the frontiers of AI. The system they showed me was a language-learning model that writes the news, answers reading comprehension problems, and is beginning to show promise at tasks like translation.
In a paper released Thursday, the OpenAI team demonstrates that we can get those results from an "unsupervised" AI - meaning the system learned from reading 8 million internet articles, not from being explicitly trained for the tasks. Their AI advances the state of the art - in some cases, by a lot…..
Is the era of fake news about to get even worse?
The team at OpenAI is making the unusual choice not to release their system publicly for everyone to interact with. That's too bad - take it from me, it's incredibly fun to try out - but they have a very good reason.
OpenAI has been active in trying to figure out how to limit the potential for misuse of AI, and they've concluded that in some cases, the right solution is limiting what they publish.
With a tool like this, for example, it'd be easy to spoof Amazon reviews and pump out fake news articles in a fraction of the time a human would need. A slightly more sophisticated version might be good enough to let students generate plagiarized essays and spammers improve their messaging to targets.
"I'm worried about trolly 4chan actors generating arbitrarily large amounts of garbage opinion content that's sexist and racist," OpenAI policy director Jack Clark told me. He also worries about "actors who do stuff like disinformation, who are more sophisticated," and points out that there might be other avenues for misuse we haven't yet thought of. So they're keeping the tool offline, at least for now, while everyone can weigh in on how to use AIs like these safely……..

Q Research General #6617: Do It POTUS Edition
George Soros Declares Cold War on China
Global elitist turns against China (and asks America for help)
It was, by any measure, an extraordinary performance. George Soros, doyen of the global elites, declared on Jan. 24 at Davos that the People's Republic of China is the chief threat to free societies around the world. In fact, the eccentric billionaire put the matter even more strongly, saying he wanted to "warn the world about an unprecedented danger that's threatening the very survival of open societies." This "mortal danger," he went on to say, arises from "the instruments of control that machine learning and Artificial Intelligence can put in the hands of repressive regimes [like] China, where Xi Jinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme." Sounding for all the world like he was channeling Ronald Reagan, Soros warned that China, through the use of such technology, was well on the way to becoming "totalitarian." I imagine that his audience emitted a collective gasp at hearing that particular word. Progressives of all stripes have long scoffed that no state can be truly totalitarian-in the sense of totally controlling their populations. And here was George Soros, one of their own, using a term which is not only politically incorrect, but virtually banned among their company.
What has shocked Soros into describing China as totalitarian and a threat to the world? He has, it seems, come to learn about that country's nascent "social credit system." The social credit system is China's plan to constantly monitor the electronic behavior of everyone in the country. Their texts, tweets and posts, their comings and goings, their reading habits and their friends, will all be fed into a centralized database where a computer algorithm will assign them a "social credit score" that will reflect their degree of political reliability. Those with high scores will receive preferential treatment by the state in education, jobs, travel, and credit. Those with low social credit scores will be denied those same benefits. Most terrifyingly, those whose scores fall too low will be judged a threat to the one-party state. They will be preemptively arrested and sent to re-education camps that already hold millions.
George Orwell's nightmare society of constant surveillance is well on the way to becoming the day-to-day lived reality of the Chinese people. Soros is right in characterizing this as "frightening and abhorrent." While acknowledging that China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, Soros singled it out because "it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence."
So what does Soros advocate doing in response, besides "recognizing the [China] threat?" Here is where he must have stunned his audience again. Soros praises the Trump administration for "identif[ying] China as a 'strategic rival'... [as] outlined in a seminal speech by Vice President Mike Pence on October 4th." Of course, no bona fide member of the global elite-not even a George Soros-can afford to be seen praising the policies of "America Firster" Donald Trump. So he credits the new policy to "Asian affairs advisor of the National Security Council, Matt Pottinger." Trump himself he disses as "notoriously unpredictable. Now I am sure that Mr. Pottinger, whom I respect, made important contributions to America's new China policy. But everyone-except, apparently, George Soros-knows that Donald Trump has been sounding the alarm about China's unfair trade practices, currency manipulation, and theft of intellectual property for over two decades.
In other words, America's tough new policy towards China owes its very existence to Trump's leadership, whether Soros wants to admit it or not. And he clearly doesn't. In fact, he goes on to bizarrely accuse Trump of violating his own policy: "President Trump seems to be following a different course," says Soros, "making concessions to China and declaring victory while renewing his attacks on U.S. allies."
Does Soros regard Trump's tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods, his sanctions on Chinese companies, or his arrest of Huawei "princess" Meng Wanzhou, as concessions? I doubt that Chinese leader Xi Jinping views them that way. This is a perfect example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. The global elites hate Trump so much that they won't give him credit even when they agree with his policies.

Q Research General #6614: Memes Are Important Edition
Hillary, soros and deep state blaming ai?
In 2015, car-and-rocket man Elon Musk joined with influential startup backer Sam Altman to put Artificial Intelligence on a new, more open course. They cofounded a research institute called OpenAI to make new AI discoveries and give them away for the common good. Now, the institute's researchers are sufficiently worried by something they built that they won't release it to the public.
The AI system that gave its creators pause was designed to learn the patterns of language. It does that very well-scoring better on some reading-comprehension tests than any other automated system. But when OpenAI's researchers configured the system to generate text, they began to think about their achievement differently.
"It looks pretty darn real," says David Luan, vice president of engineering at OpenAI, of the text the system generates. He and his fellow researchers began to imagine how it might be used for unfriendly purposes. "It could be that someone who has malicious intent would be able to generate high-quality fake news," Luan says.
That concern prompted OpenAI to publish a research paper on its results, but not release the full model or the 8 million web pages it used to train the system. Previously, the institute has often disseminated full code with its publications, including an earlier version of the language project from last summer.
OpenAI's hesitation comes amid growing concern about the ethical implications of progress in AI, including from tech companies and lawmakers.
Google, too, has decided that it's no longer appropriate to innocently publish new AI research findings and code. Last month, the search company disclosed in a policy paper on AI that it has put constraints on research software it has shared because of fears of misuse. The company recently joined Microsoft in adding language to its financial filings warning investors that its AI software could raise ethical concerns and harm the business.
OpenAI let WIRED play with its text generator, via a web page that lets you type in text the system uses like a writing prompt. The results could be garbled, but the way the system riffed on prompts such as song lyrics, poems, and phrases like "here is a recipe for yogurt pancakes" confirmed Luan's view that the output can look pretty darn real.
However, it didn't take much to get the system to unspool paragraphs that resembled the work of disinformation artists. When WIRED typed in the phrase "Hillary Clinton and George Soros," OpenAI's system wrote the following:
"…are a perfect match, and their agenda appears to be to create a political movement where Soros and his political machine and Clinton are two of the only major players. This is the first time Soros and Clinton have been caught on tape directly colluding in promoting the same false narrative. One of the key revelations in the leaked audio was Clinton's admission to a Russian banker that she knew about the Uranium One deal before it was approved by Congress. Clinton was shown sharing the same talking points that were originally drafted by a Fusion GPS contractor hired by an anti-Trump Republican donor. The leaked audio is the clearest evidence yet that the Clinton campaign and the Hillary Foundation colluded with Fusion GPS to manufacture propaganda against President Trump."

Pope Francis, Microsoft Chief Discuss Prospects of AI Development - Holy See
Pope Francis received Microsoft's president Brad Smith in the Vatican City and discussed prospects of the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies with the official, Alessandro Gisotti, the spokesman of The Holy See, has said.
During the meeting on Wednesday, Smith emphasized that AI should be used for the well-being of society. Moreover, Microsoft's chief spoke about some ways to overcome a global gap in the development of digital technologies.
Smith was accompanied by Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, during his visit to Vatican City. Smith and Paglia told Pope Francis that Microsoft together with the academy planned to establish an international prize on AI ethics.
The Pontifical Academy for Life is actively engaged in public discussions on issues dedicated to AI. On 25-26 February, the academy will hold a workshop dubbed Roboethics: Humans, Machines and Health. In addition, it plans to carry out another workshop focused on the development of AI in 2020. Sputnik has learned that Smith has agreed to attend the meeting.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies involved in research and development to prioritize AI in upcoming funding requests for fiscal 2020 to help protect US leadership in the next technology frontier.

Pope discusses ethics of Artificial Intelligence with Microsoft chief
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Microsoft President Brad Smith met Pope Francis on Wednesday to discuss the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence and ways to bridge the digital divide between rich and poor nations, the Vatican said.
The head of the global tech giant and the 81-year-old Roman Catholic leader, who once said he is a "disaster" when it comes to technology, spoke for about 30 minutes in the pontiff's residence.
The pair discussed "Artificial Intelligence at the service of the common good and activities aimed at bridging the digital divide that still persists at the global level", according to a statement.
Smith, 60, told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview that "strong ethical and new, evolved laws" were needed so that technological advances such as Artificial Intelligence do not fall into the wrong hands.
The Vatican said its Academy for Life would jointly sponsor a prize with Microsoft for the best doctoral dissertation in 2019 on the theme of "Artificial Intelligence at the service of human life".

Pricing algorithms can learn to collude with each other to raise prices
If you recall, reinforcement learning is a subset of machine learning that uses penalties and rewards to incentivize an AI agent toward a specific goal. AlphaGo famously used it to beat the best human players at the ancient board game Go. Within a pricing context, these systems are given a goal such as to maximize overall profit; then they experiment with different strategies in a simulated environment to find the optimal one. A new paper now suggests that these systems could pose a huge problem: they quickly learn to collude.

Customer loyalty rewards programs used to convince the public to accept 9,000 private license plate readers
The die has been cast, whether it is digital drivers licenses, digital license plates, license plate readers or facial recognition cameras. Everyone from private corporations to law enforcement follows the same script; offer Americans customer loyalty rewards programs in exchange for the loss of their privacy.
Surveillance politics and law enforcement regularly tout license plate readers as a necessary extension of public safety at the expense of our privacy. But now things have gotten out of control as a recent Quartz headline warned "In just two years, 9,000 of these cameras (ALPR) were installed to spy on your car."
A Massachusetts company called Novume which recently acquired Open ALPR Technology Inc. boasts that their free software is being used by private corporations and governments in more than 9,000 private license plate readers.worldwide.
Novume's press release said, "OpenALPR Technology, Inc., a company that develops software for automatic license plate and vehicle recognition systems, announced that paid contracts for its Artificial Intelligence-based LPR solutions now cover over 9,200 cameras as the company achieved further penetration of the global vehicle recognition system market which is expected to reach $4.25B by 2023. This represents more than a 2,960% increase, from approximately 300 licensed cameras at the end of 2016, the year in which OpenALPR initiated sales."
Quartz's article warned that "anyone who downloads it (Open ALPR) can turn a single web-connected camera into an automatic license plate reader that can monitor traffic across a four-lane highway with 99% accuracy."
Quart'z article also revealed what I have been warning people about for years, malls, towing companies, garbage trucksand more are secretly creating a private database of our daily travels.

YouTube announces it will no longer recommend conspiracy videos
YouTube will no longer recommend videos "claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11."

By Kalhan Rosenblatt
YouTube has announced that it will no longer recommend videos that "come close to" violating its community guidelines, such as conspiracy or medically inaccurate videos.
On Saturday, a former engineer for Google, YouTube's parent company, hailed the move as a "historic victory."
The original blog post from YouTube, published on Jan. 25, said that videos the site recommends, usually after a user has viewed one video, would no longer lead just to similar videos and instead would "pull in recommendations from a wider set of topics."
For example, if one person watches one video showing the recipe for snickerdoodles, they may be bombarded with suggestions for other cookie recipe videos. Up until the change, the same scenario would apply to conspiracy videos.
YouTube said in the post that the action is meant to "reduce the spread of content that comes close to - but doesn't quite cross the line of - violating" its community policies. The examples the company cited include "promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11."
The change will not affect the videos' availability. And if users are subscribed to a channel that, for instance, produces conspiracy content, or if they search for it, they will still see related recommendations, the company wrote.
Guillaume Chaslot, a former Google engineer, said that he helped to build the Artificial Intelligence used to curate recommended videos. In a thread of tweets posted on Saturday, he praised the change.
"It's only the beginning of a more humane technology. Technology that empowers all of us, instead of deceiving the most vulnerable," Chaslot wrote.
Chaslot described how, prior to the change, a user watching conspiracy theory videos was led down a rabbit hole of similar content, which was the intention of the AI he said he helped build.
According to Chaslot, the goal of YouTube's AI was to keep users on the site as long as possible in order to promote more advertisements. When a user was enticed by multiple conspiracy videos, the AI not only became biased by the content the hyper-engaged users were watching, it also kept track of the content that those users were engaging with in an attempt to reproduce that pattern with other users, Chaslot explained.
He pointed to a different Artificial Intelligence that was also shaped by the bias of its users: Microsoft's chatbot "Tay."

Tay was a Twitter chatbot produced by Microsoft, which was meant to interact with users like a human and learn from others.
Within 24 hours of its release, Tay went from innocent chatbot to full-blown misogynist and racist, according to The Verge. The AI operating Tay learned from and became biased by the engagement it received from Twitter users who were spamming the bot with those ideologies, according to CNBC.
Chaslot said that YouTube's fix to its recommendations AI will have to include getting people to videos with truthful information and overhauling the current system it uses to recommend videos.
"The AI change will have a huge impact because affected channels have billions of views, overwhelmingly coming from recommendations," Chaslot said, adding that the platform's decision to make this change affect thousands of new users.
YouTube did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Chaslot's thread.

Q Research General #6570: "We are past that now, correct?" Edition
Ex-gov't agent: Crisis worse than 9/11 could come out of AI arms race
The worst part of these dangers is that AI could make such attacks infinitely easier than with even advanced existing cyber hacking capabilities.
Winning the Artificial Intelligence arms (AI) race between the US and Israel and their adversaries may need to take precedent over balancing the tremendous risks at this stage, a former government agency chief technology officer has told the Jerusalem Post.
Those risks could include crises even worse than 9/11, said Amit Meltzer, now a top cyber security consultant.
Discussing the issue with The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday merely a day after US President Donald Trump issued a first-ever US executive order to bolster US efforts in the AI arms race, he said that winning such a competition often did not go well with careful oversight of negative consequences and potential abuses.
For example, while US Senate Vice Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) applauded aspects of the order, he criticized its lack of developing oversight for misuse of AI.
Warner supported the order's provisions for opening US federal data-sets to non-federal entities to enhance cooperation, but he said Trump's order "reflects a laissez-faire approach to AI development that I worry will have the US repeating the mistakes it has made in treating digital technologies as inherently positive forces, with insufficient consideration paid to their misapplication."
Meltzer called Trump's declaration more symbolic than concretely operational, but said that it still was crucial "to give strong backing to academic and government institutions...which suffer from a chronic lack of personnel" and resources.
He agreed with Warner's criticism that Trump's order did not address the downsides of AI and that it was overly general and would have been stronger if it had more specific plans, goals and allotted budgets.
Furthermore, the former government agent said that concerns that certain companies would quickly gain domination of the AI sector and abuse their standing economically and otherwise were real.
But he said that it was nearly impossible to square "the national necessity for the US" or Israel to "strengthen and maintain leadership in the industry" with policies that encouraged caution and only rolling out new technologies after all dangers were carefully thought through.
He analogized the need to act with large brush strokes in the field of AI in order to keep up, to the US's sales of weapons to essentially any dictatorship that is not in a direct fight with it in order to make weapons' development economically sustainable.
However, Meltzer said that neither Trump nor Warner honed-in on the true potential dangers of AI.

Q Research General #6551: Message Must Be Direct Edition
Trump Issues Order to Lay Out National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order that outlines the federal government's priorities for handling Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.
The order promises more tax dollars for AI research and development (R&D) and more access to federal data sets for AI testing. It also calls for establishing a regulatory framework and technical standards for AI and for protecting American AI from acquisition by competitors and adversaries. Further, it asks NASA, the Defense Department, and other agencies to dedicate more of their supercomputer resources to AI and asks federal agencies to promote education in the AI field.
"By driving technological breakthroughs in AI, breaking barriers to AI innovation, preparing our workforce for the jobs of the future, and protecting America's advantage in AI we are ensuring that AI technologies continue to improve the lives of our people, create jobs, reflect our Nation's values, and keep Americans safe at home and abroad," the White House said in a Feb. 11 release.
"Continued American leadership in Artificial Intelligence is of paramount importance to maintaining the economic and national security of the United States," Trump said in the release.
Research and Development
Based on the order, federal agencies that conduct or fund R&D should prioritize AI R&D. That not only includes shifting the focus in 2019, but also encourages the agencies to prioritize AI work in their 2020 budget proposals. Agencies will also be required to track how much they spend on AI work. They should also partner with non-federal and private sector players, including "foreign partners and allies, so all collaborators can benefit from each other's investment and expertise in AI R&D," the order states.
Agencies should review their data and models to see where they can increase access to AI researchers and developers "while protecting safety, security, privacy, and confidentiality." The agencies should also use feedback from the AI R&D community and the public to improve access "and quality of AI data and models."
The order requires the secretaries of Defense, Commerce, Health and Human Services, and Energy; NASA; and the director of the National Science Foundation to "prioritize the allocation of high-performance computing resources for AI-related applications."

Q Research General #6542: Loosen Up And Have Some Fun! Edition
WHITE HOUSE RETWEET
In 1964, concerns about increasing automation led the federal government to establish the National Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress. The commission was tasked with studying the impact of technological and economic change. Even more than half a century ago, leaders foresaw a world where technology could lead to a new era of economic prosperity-but only if we met the challenge head on.
Our predecessors did just that, and today we recognize the second half of the 20th century as a time of great innovation. No advance has captured our imagination more than Artificial Intelligence. As President Trump said in his recent State of the Union Address, we must invest in the industries of the future-and few industries are more important than AI. If we do, we can create autonomous cars, industrial robots, algorithms for disease diagnosis, and more. However, we must act now to ensure this innovation generates excitement, rather than uncertainty.

so this was posted a couple of threads back, but in the current season of an anime called sword art online. the season is called alicization and one of the main characters is called alice
ALICIZATION, ALICE

Kazuto is later recruited to assist in testing an experimental FullDive machine, Soul Translator (STL), which has an interface that is far more realistic and complex than the previous machine he had played to help develop an Artificial Intelligence for the Ministry of Defense (MOD) named A.L.I.C.E. He tests the STL by entering a virtual reality cyberspace created with The Seed package, named UnderWorld (UW). In the UW, the flow of time proceeds a thousand times faster than in the real world, and Kirito's memories of what happens inside are restricted. However, Black injures Kazuto with suxamethonium chloride. The MOD recovers Kazuto and places him back into the STL to preserve his mind while attempts are made to save him. Meanwhile, it is revealed that UnderWorld was created as part of an experiment to create Artificial Intelligence that could be used for military purposes.
https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Soul_Translator
The Soul Translator was constructed for the purpose of being used as a method of creating a highly adaptive Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be used for Project Alicization, under the guise of «Maritime Exploration Development». Unlike previous methods of creating such AI, which relied on the use of existing computer architecture for the AI to accumulate experience via simple questions and answers, the AI that is developed for Project Alicization is based on the structure of a human's brain, in order to create an AI with awareness and the adaptability level of a human. As the STL is capable of scanning, and thus copying, the structure of a human's consciousness, called a «Fluctlight», the machine was successfully used in cloning a human's soul and the creation of an AI with the capabilities of a real human.
According to the «Quantum Brain Dynamics» theory in the Sword Art Online universe, an «Evanescent Photon» - a light particle that acts as a quantum unit of the mind - exists within the microtubules of a nerve cell. The light particle exists in a state of indeterminism[? 1] and fluctuates according to the probability theory. A collection of these particles - a «Quantum Field» which Rath has dubbed a «Fluctuating Light» (abbreviated as «Fluctlight» (???????, Furakutoraito?)) - is what comprises the human consciousness, or the human soul.

Q Research General #6527: Prosecution and Transparency Edition
SO FOR ALL YOU WEEABOOS OUT THERE, FOUND THAT SWORD ART ONLINE HAS A NEW SEASON CALLED ALICIZATION, WHICH CONTAINS A MAIN CHARACTER CALLED ALICE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_Art_Online
In 2022, a virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online (SAO) is released. With the NerveGear, a helmet that stimulates the user's five senses via their brain, players can experience and control their in-game characters with their minds. Both the game and the NerveGear were created by Akihiko Kayaba.
On November 6, 10,000 players log into the SAO's mainframe cyberspace for the first time, only to discover that they are unable to log out. Kayaba appears and tells the players that they must beat all 100 floors of Aincrad, a steel castle which is the setting of SAO, if they wish to be free. Those who suffer in-game deaths or forcibly remove the NerveGear out-of-game will suffer real-life deaths.
One of the players, named Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya, is one of 1,000 testers in the game's previous closed beta. With the advantage of previous VR gaming experience and a drive to protect other beta testers from discrimination, he isolates himself from the greater groups and plays the game alone, bearing the mantle of "beater", a portmanteau of "beta tester" and "cheater". As the players progress through the game Kirito eventually befriends a young girl named Asuna Yuuki, forming a relationship with and later marrying her in-game. After the duo discover the identity of Kayaba's secret ID, who was playing as the leader of the guild Asuna joined in, they confront and destroy him, freeing themselves and the other players from the game.
In the real world, Kazuto discovers that 300 SAO players, including Asuna, remain trapped in their NerveGear. As he goes to the hospital to see Asuna, he meets Shouzou Yuuki, Asuna's father, who is asked by an associate of his, Nobuyuki Sugou, to make a decision, which Sugou later reveals to be his marriage with Asuna, angering Kazuto. Several months later, he is informed by Agil, another SAO survivor, that a figure similar to Asuna was spotted on "The World Tree" in another VRMMORPG cyberspace called Alfheim Online (ALO). Assisted in-game by his cousin Suguha "Leafa" Kirigaya and Yui, a navigation pixie (originally an AI from SAO), he quickly learns that the trapped players in ALO are part of a plan conceived by Sugou to perform illegal experiments on their minds. The goal is to create the perfect mind-control for financial gain and to subjugate Asuna, whom he intends to marry in the real world, to assume control of her family's corporation. Kirito eventually stops the experiment and rescues the remaining 300 SAO players, foiling Sugou's plans. Before leaving ALO to see Asuna, Kayaba, who has uploaded his mind to the Internet using an experimental and destructively high-power version of NerveGear at the cost of his life, entrusts Kirito with The Seed - a package program designed to create virtual worlds. Kazuto eventually reunites with Asuna in the real world and The Seed is released onto the Internet, reviving Aincrad as other VRMMORPGs begin to thrive.
Soon after, at the prompting of a government official investigating strange occurrences in VR, Kazuto takes on a job to investigate a series of murders involving another VRMMORPG called Gun Gale Online (GGO), the AmuSphere (the successor of the NerveGear), and a player called Death Gun. Aided by a female player named Shino "Sinon" Asada, he participates in a gunfight tournament called the Bullet of Bullets (BoB) and discovers the truth behind the murders, which originated with a player who participated in a player-killing guild in SAO. Through his and Sinon's efforts, two suspects are captured, though the third suspect, Johnny Black, escapes.
Kazuto is later recruited to assist in testing an experimental FullDive machine, Soul Translator (STL), which has an interface that is far more realistic and complex than the previous machine he had played to help develop an Artificial Intelligence for the Ministry of Defense (MOD) named A.L.I.C.E. He tests the STL by entering a virtual reality cyberspace created with The Seed package, named UnderWorld (UW). In the UW, the flow of time proceeds a thousand times faster than in the real world, and Kirito's memories of what happens inside are restricted. However, Black injures Kazuto with suxamethonium chloride. The MOD recovers Kazuto and places him back into the STL to preserve his mind while attempts are made to save him. Meanwhile, it is revealed that UnderWorld was created as part of an experiment to create Artificial Intelligence that could be used for military purposes.

http:// www.etcentric.org/at-davos-a-call-for-worldwide-oversight-of-tech-including-ai/
TechCrunch reports that, at the World Economic Forum, leaders expressed concern "about the potential for Artificial Intelligence to exacerbate huge inequalities across the world," specifically as some countries implement AI systems, leaving behind those that do not. Columbia president Iván Duque Márquez, Salesforce chair/chief executive Marc Benioff and Chinese venture capitalist/AI expert Kai-Fu Lee "backed a new WEF initiative to expand its network of 'Centres for the Fourth Industrial Revolution' [C4IR] to Columbia and other emerging economies."
The WEF created the C4IR as a center for "global, multi-stakeholder cooperation to develop policy frameworks and advance collaborations that accelerate the benefits of science and technology."
"The fourth industrial revolution holds great promise in the creation of new jobs, new ways to cure disease and relieve suffering," said Benioff. "But on the other hand there's a risk that it will worsen our economic, racial, gender and even our environmental inequalities." He noted that, "today, only a few countries and companies have access to the best AI in the world."
"We must ask ourselves, is this the kind of world want to live in?" he concluded.

that orb was a symbol of SA's Intelligence and tracking abilities.
SA has the dirt on all of Trumps enemies.
The real meaning of the sphere had little to do with the occult.
The occasion was the opening of a new Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology, based in Riyadh, and the orb was in fact a translucent globe, with the world's waters represented in light gray and the continents in black. Its purpose appeared to be decorative.
The futuristic look of the darkened room may have helped to fire observers' imaginations.
It was filled with computer terminals. At one end was a wall of monitors displaying feeds from news networks. Employees of the center were segregated by gender, as is common in Saudi Arabia.
The design felt to a pool reporter who was present like a hybrid of a game-show set and a television thriller's idea of a counterterrorism operations control room.
The globe did not appear to have any magical powers, but when the king and Mr. Trump touched it, background music of the kind that might accompany a reality show's elimination sequence or introduce a cable news program soared and pulsed. The screens glowed with statistical displays and videos about fighting terrorism. An unnamed official who narrated the features of the new control center said the displays used Artificial Intelligence to track, in real time, news reports and online statements.
"This groundbreaking new center represents a clear declaration that Muslim-majority countries must take the lead in combating radicalization, and I want to express our gratitude to King Salman for this strong demonstration of leadership," Mr. Trump said in his prepared remarks.

How All-Knowing Smartphones Could Become the Pentagon's Employee Access Cards
https://www.nextgov.com/emerging-tech/2019/02/how-all-knowing-smartphones-could-become-pentagons-employee-access-cards/154714/
An algorithm will track how employees use their phones, how they walk and even where they go to constantly verify users' identity.
MOBILE BIOMETRICS ID MANAGEMENT
>The continuation of the lifelog expirement and setup to create a system based on china's social credit score
A New York-based company and the Defense Department have created an Artificial Intelligence algorithm to be embedded in smartphones that knows the device owner so well it can tell its user by the way they talk, type and even walk.
TWOSENSE.AI has been working with the department to build a software-as-a-service product to replace the common access card, used to verify defense employees' identities when logging in to the department's networks, the company said in a release issued Thursday.
Using constant monitoring of the user's behavior-including how they walk, carry the device, type and navigate on it and even how they commute to work and spend their free time-and the system will automatically and continuously verify the user's identity, enabling them to seamlessly work on secure networks without having to plug in a card each time.
As the system tracks these metrics, it continuously updates a trust score based on the level of confidence the algorithm has that the correct person is using the device.
The score "is checked to ensure it meets the desired threshold," Jeremy Corey, chief of the Defense Information Systems Agency's Cyber Innovation Division, said at the AFCEA Defense Cyber Operations Symposium in May. "This threshold is predetermined by the organization we are piloting our prototype with. This could be configured by the application owner, so long as it is within the authorizing official's accepted level of risk."
DISA awarded the $2.4 million contract in October through the Army's other transaction authority, which allows certain agencies to sign contracts for advanced research without abiding by the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
"Both DISA and TWOSENSE.AI believe that continuous authentication is the cornerstone of securing identity," said Dr. Dawud Gordon, CEO of TWOSENSE.AI. "Behavior-based authentication is invisible to the user, therefore it can be used continuously without creating any extra work."
Last year, Steve Wallace, a technical director at DISA, told Nextgov the vendor would deliver some 75 prototypes. Once the testing phases are finished, the technology will be embedded in certain smartphones at the manufacturing level before being acquired by the Defense Department, Wallace said.
Wallace declined last year to name the vendor or smartphones being used. However, the announcement Thursday from TWOSENSE.AI notes the project is working through "existing partnerships" between DISA, Qualcomm and Samsung.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is also working on a similar solution to identity verification for civilian agencies, Nextgov reported in November.

Q Research General #6474: Enjoying The Show Edition
We live in a world controlled by an outside force. This force has hijacked mankind and our natural disposition for good. We have been pre-programmed BY CONSTRUCTS OF SOCIETY into rigid beliefs. 1. in a supernatural power (religion) or 2. Nothing at all. Society pushes us toward nothing at all because it benefits the outside force that has hijacked mankind. This is SPIRITUAL WARFARE that us using the brain-mind to access the soul-mind via your consciousness. Think of this force as Lucifer. Hence Satan having control over our world. In the Bible Jesus said he is the prince of the air.
Part of the control is a program that ALREADY EXISTS. It is this program that controls our physical reality. We are held captive in this reality by manipulation of our collective social conscious. This is done in many waves but for length lets say it boils down to frequency modulation. We are specifically held in a state that reduces the likelihood of mass awareness. A sleep state if you will. Boards like this are proof that we are asleep, as people here are aware that things are not as they seem but not fully able to see the bigger picture. This sort of board is a stepping stone for you to step into a higher frequency of consciousness. This is needed to move BEYOND the Collective Social Consciousness. The "conspiracies" all meet up but you must continue to dig deeper until you see it. Shills and disinfo are here to confuse but their stories are easy enough to deduce. Connect the dots. Each story that you uncover is a signal to YOU that we are in a FALSE REALITY. Your consciousness is essentially a projection of a HOLOGRAM. Your subconscious mind is more symbol based….THIS is why there is so much "illuminati" symbolism. 'They' dont have to address with words it because your subconscious recognizes it. The symbols allow them to access and control you subconsciously.
Now: concerning AI, the control of society is ALREADY driven from Artificial Intelligence in that it is a result of a force from OUTSIDE. Think duality of good vs evil. Gatekeepers in our world are in a sense fallen spirits who are working to keep us in a rudimentary state because they benefit from the toxic system in place by having access to your soul. There is a better place and our spirit knows this. It is your moral compass. When you lose hope you allow your access to this better place to be used by the gatekeepers. Its like waiting in line to get up front at a concert only to be tricked along the way and your front row tickets were taken by others since you arent occupying them. You are being fooled into NOT WANTING to occupy them by the construct of the duality of good vs evil and the feeling that YOU were given that it does not matter because in your mind "god does not exist". Lucifers trick is to fool people. Whats the saying..the greatest trick the devil pulled is convincuing you that he doesnt exist…
This AI will not create "god inside of a computer" but rather remove God from the hearts of man. You will lose your free will. You will become the mindless cog in the machine because you will lose your moral compass. You will willingly give it up. Many of you already have. Many will scoff at this description.
"Automation" and "AI" are referring to YOU, not robot cyborgs like the terminator walking around. THIS is what you must fear, not a Terminator robot fantasy spell that Hollywood has cast upon you.
In ancient times this was a much easier story to tell. Its spelled out in the bible but like your post it is written from a certain perspective. People of today have difficulty relating to that perspective due to the pre-programmed CONSTRUCTS OF SOCIETY and the fact that history is INTENTIONALLY hidden from us and in many cases changed into something else entirely.
We ALL have the power of much deeper thought. You CAN connect the dots but you MUST LIMIT your interference with the Collective Social Conscious.
Monitor your diet, monitor your entertainment, monitor your finances.
Limit their control inputs and you will start to clear from the fog.
This is just SCRATCHING THE SURFACE. Those of you who are also of an expanded consciousness and are aware of this and have more insight to offer please feel free to add further clarification to this.
Unless more and more people wake up to this humanity doesnnt have a chance. We WILL be reset as a great Rapture has ALREADY begun. We are living IN THE END TIMES AT THIS MOMENT !

AI Deep Learning 'Godfather' Yoshua Bengio Alarmed Over Use In China To Dominate Society
A principal inventor of AI, Bengio says "This is the 1984 Big Brother scenario". Bengio and his fellow Technocrat scientists should have thought about this way before now, but it reflects their Pollyanna-ish view of humanity. ? TN Editor
Yoshua Bengio, a Canadian computer scientist who helped pioneer the techniques underpinning much of the current excitement around Artificial Intelligence, is worried about China's use of AI for surveillance and political control.
Bengio, who is also a co-founder of Montreal-based AI software company Element AI, said he was concerned about the technology he helped create being used for controlling people's behavior and influencing their minds.
"This is the 1984 Big Brother scenario," he said in an interview. "I think it's becoming more and more scary."
Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal, is considered one of the three "godfathers" of deep learning, along with Yann LeCun and Geoff Hinton. It's a technology that uses neural networks - a kind of software loosely based on aspects of the human brain - to make predictions based on data. It's responsible for recent advances in facial recognition, natural language processing, translation, and recommendation algorithms

Navy arms unmanned attack drone boats with weapons, guns and missiles
The U.S. Navy is beginning to arm surface drone boats with guns, rockets and mobile missiles to overwhelm enemies with swarming attacks, protect sailors at farther stand-off ranges and coordinate maritime strikes across dispersed areas of ocean.
The concept is to call upon newer levels of autonomy enabling weapons systems to search for enemies, track their movements and then target them – all while humans perform command and control at safer ranges.
"We will be incorporating direct and indirect fire. We will be participating in a force protection exercise for the US Navy," Wayne Prender, Senior Vice President of Applied Technology and Advanced Programs, Textron Systems, told Warrior Maven in an interview.
The testing and demonstrations are evolving through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between Textron and the Navy, intended to explore, prototype and ultimately deploy the armed Unmanned Surface Vehicles.
Arming USVs fits within the scope of broader Navy strategies focused on leveraging the latest advances in autonomy and Artificial Intelligence.
"We want to be able to adapt and upgrade platforms to integrate technology as it develops. This prevents getting the sensors, payloads and platforms too intertwined so that when we do make breakthroughs in machine learning and AI, we will be able to incorporate them into a while portfolio of platforms and systems," Capt. Pete Small, Program Executive Officer, said at the Surface Naval Association.

Snopes pulls out of fact-checking partnership with Facebook
February 2, 2019
Snopes, the popular myth-busting website, said Friday it was ending its fact-checking partnership with Facebook as part of a "difficult, but necessary change."
A Snopes statement said it was "evaluating the ramifications and costs of providing third-party fact-checking services," and wants the efforts to be "a net positive for our online community, publication, and staff."
The statement did not elaborate but Snopes vice president Vinny Green told the media education group Poynter the partnership was excessively labor intensive, requiring manual updates to fact checks by its staff of 16.
"With a manual system and a closed system, it's impossible to keep on top of that stuff," Green told Poynter.
Green posted Snopes' statement on Twitter later commenting: "A difficult, but necessary change for Snopes in 2019."
Snopes said it agreed to partner with Facebook "without financial benefit to ourselves," but added that it faces increasing financial difficulties.
"Just as we believe credible and reliable content creators deserve to be paid for their work, we believe that fact-checkers should be compensated commensurately for the valuable services they provide to platforms," the statement said.
Snopes partnered with Facebook in 2016 on fact-checking and has been one of many global organizations that have agreements with the social network to help it fight misinformation.
Facebook said in a statement: "We value the work that Snopes has done, and respect their decision as an independent business."
The California-based social network added: "We are committed to fighting this through many tactics, and the work that third-party fact-checkers do is a valued and important piece of this effort.
"We have strong relationships with 34 fact-checking partners around the world who fact-check content in 16 languages, and we plan to expand the program this year by adding new partners and languages."
Snopes, which claims to the oldest internet fact-checking operation, was founded in 1994 as Urban Legends Reference Pages.
Facebook ramped up an effort on fact-checking after being accused of disseminating misinformation during the 2016 US election.
It uses Artificial Intelligence to flag questionable content and then sends any dubious posts to the independent fact-checkers.
Depending on the determination by those fact-checkers, Facebook may demote a post or add a message indicating it had been verified.
In the United States, Facebook has been working with FactCheck.org and PolitiFact in addition to Snopes. Facebook buys fact-checking content from AFP in over 14 countries.

Q Research General #6403: Focus the Narrative Edition
Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum by George Soros
Tonight I want to call attention to the mortal danger facing open societies from the instruments of control that machine learning and Artificial Intelligence can put in the hands of repressive regimes. I'll focus on China, where Xi Jinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme.
A lot of things have happened since last year and I've learned a lot about the shape that totalitarian control is going to take in China.
All the rapidly expanding information available about a person is going to be consolidated in a centralized database to create a "social credit system." Based on that data, people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the one-party state. People will then be treated accordingly.
The social credit system is not yet fully operational, but it's clear where it's heading. It will subordinate the fate of the individual to the interests of the one-party state in ways unprecedented in history.
I find the social credit system frightening and abhorrent. Unfortunately, some Chinese find it rather attractive because it provides information and services that aren't currently available and can also protect law-abiding citizens against enemies of the state.
China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, but it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of those who believe in the concept of open society. But Xi isn't alone. Authoritarian regimes are proliferating all over the world and if they succeed, they will become totalitarian.
So, I wasn't surprised when Xi Jinping ran into serious opposition at home; but I was surprised by the form it took. At last summer's leadership convocation at the seaside resort of Beidaihe, Xi Jinping was apparently taken down a peg or two. Although there was no official communique, rumor had it that the convocation disapproved of the abolition of term limits and the cult of personality that Xi had built around himself.
It's important to realize that such criticisms were only a warning to Xi about his excesses, but did not reverse the lifting of the two-term limit. Moreover, "The Thought of Xi Jinping," which he promoted as his distillation of Communist theory was elevated to the same level as the "Thought of Chairman Mao." So Xi remains the supreme leader, possibly for lifetime. The ultimate outcome of the current political infighting remains unresolved.
The question poses itself, what can we do to stop them?
The first step is to recognize the danger. That's why I'm speaking out tonight. But now comes the difficult part. Those of us who want to preserve the open society must work together and form an effective alliance. We have a task that can't be left to governments.
History has shown that even governments that want to protect individual freedom have many other interests and they also give precedence to the freedom of their own citizens over the freedom of the individual as a general principle.
My Open Society Foundations are dedicated to protecting human rights, especially for those who don't have a government defending them. When we started four decades ago there were many governments which supported our efforts but their ranks have thinned out. The US and Europe were our strongest allies, but now they're preoccupied with their own problems.
Therefore, I want to focus on what I consider the most important question for open societies: what will happen in China?
China is not the only authoritarian regime in the world but it is the wealthiest, strongest and technologically most advance. This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of open societies. That's why it's so important to distinguish Xi Jinping's policies from the aspirations of the Chinese people. The social credit system, if it became operational, would give Xi total control over the people. Since Xi is the most dangerous enemy of the open society, we must pin our hopes on the Chinese people, and especially on the business community and a political elite willing to uphold the Confucian tradition.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/mar/21/ancient-book-wisdom-i-ching-computer-binary-code
Gottfried Wilhelm von Liebniz was a philosopher and mathematician in search of a model. In the late 1600s Leibniz decided there was a need for a new, purer arithmetic than our common decimal system. Leibniz discovered the model for this new arithmetic in the five-millennia-old book that is at the heart of Chinese philosophy: the I-Ching, or Book of Changes.
This ancient text was such an influence on Liebniz that he titled his article on the new arithmetic: "Explanation of the binary arithmetic, which uses only the characters 1 and 0, with some remarks on its usefulness, and on the light it throws on the ancient Chinese figures of Fu Xi". Fu Xi was the legendary first author of the I-Ching. The arithmetic Liebniz described was binary code, which is used in almost every modern computer,
Liebniz's insight was that even the most complex aspect of reality could potentially be represented in the binary form as 1s and 0s.The I-Ching represents the binary poles of reality as Yin and Yang. Like 1 and 0, these are abstract concepts that can represent the poles of any binary set, but in the text of the I-Ching are often discussed as female and male. They are notated with a broken line for Yin, and an unbroken line for Yang. These lines are combined in sets of three to produce the eight basic trigrams, which are in turn combined to give the 64 hexagrams,
In the philosophy of the I-Ching, reality is not entirely real. It is something more like a dream or an illusion. This dream of reality arises from the binaries of Yin and Yang, as they play out their infinite combinations. It's not surprising then, from the I-Ching's perspective, that anything in the dream of reality can be represented as a model of its binary constituents, in a string of 1s and 0s, processed by a computer.
So when scientific thinkers - including many of my favourite science fiction writers - ask whether computers can create "virtual realities" or "Artificial Intelligence", they are missing the point. Of course we can create ever deeper and more complex layers of the dream of reality to get lost in. The real question is, can we wake up from the dream we're in already?

AlphaZero is a computer program or algorithm developed by the Alphabet-owned Artificial Intelligence research company DeepMind to master not just go, but also chess and shogi, by using an approach similar to AlphaGo Zero. On December 5, 2017 the DeepMind team released a preprint introducing AlphaZero, which, within 24 hours, achieved a superhuman level of play in these three games by defeating world-champion programs, Stockfish, elmo, and the 3-day version of AlphaGo Zero, in each case making use of custom tensor processing units (TPUs) that the Google programs were optimized to use.[1] AlphaZero was trained solely via "self-play" using 5,000 first-generation TPUs to generate the games and 64 second-generation TPUs to train the neural networks, all in parallel, with no access to opening books or endgame tables. After just four hours of training, DeepMind estimated AlphaZero was playing at a higher Elo rating than Stockfish 8; after 9 hours of training, the algorithm decisively defeated Stockfish 8 in a time-controlled 100-game tournament (28 wins, 0 losses, and 72 draws).[1][2][3] The trained algorithm played on a single machine with four TPUs. DeepMind's paper on AlphaZero was published in the journal Science on 7 December 2018.[4]

End of an era: China-Silicon Valley relationship chills
SAN FRANCISCO/HONG KONG - The trade dispute between the U.S. and China is disrupting Silicon Valley.
What had been a steady flow of Chinese money into tech firms appears to be slowing. Investors are concerned about the "headline risk" of doing business with Chinese investors.
And in some cases, U.S. startups are shunning Chinese investment.
These changes come after years of investment and collaboration between China and Silicon Valley. But the trade dispute, coupled with U.S. policymakers' concerns about Chinese investments in sensitive technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, have increased scrutiny of cross border deals on all sides.

New Images Appear Of Russian Autonomous, Unmanned "Hunter" Drone
The world first got wind of Russia's massive, 20-ton stealth drone fighter last summer when Russian defense industry sources told TASS, a Russian state-owned media outlet.
According to the defense official, the sixth generation jet program "has not yet taken full shape, its main features are already known."
"First of all, it should be unmanned and capable of performing any combat task in an autonomous regime. In this sense, the stealth drone will become the prototype of the sixth generation fighter jet,' the source said, adding that the drone will be able to "take off, fulfill its objectives and return to the airfield."
"However, it will not receive the function of decision-making regarding the use of weapons - this will be decided by a human," he said.
Well, as LiveJournal now reports, new images of the first prototype of the unmanned recon-strike drone - nicknamed "Hunter" - have been taken at the airdrome of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant.
This model is undergoing factory ground tests there from November 2018. The start of the prototype flight tests of the prototype is scheduled for 2019.
As we noted previously, Sam Bendett, a researcher at the CNA Corporation and a member of CNA's Center for Autonomy and AI, told Defense One, "Sounds like Russia wants everything to be included into the new design at once. In reality, they will probably have to compromise, selecting more realistic qualifications for the new aircraft. Most importantly, this will be an expensive endeavor, further pushing Russian designers and the Ministry of Defense to be more selective in approving the final aircraft specs. However, some qualifications, like optional manning, autonomy and some form of Artificial Intelligence will probably be included

Acquired by Google in 2014, the company has created a neural network that learns how to play video games in a fashion similar to that of humans, as well as a Neural Turing machine, or a neural network that may be able to access an external memory like a conventional Turing machine, resulting in a computer that mimics the short-term memory of the human brain.
The company made headlines in 2016 after its AlphaGo program beat a human professional Go player Lee Sedol, the world champion, in a five-game match, which was the subject of a documentary film. (after it beat a human professional player for the first time in October 2015)

Watson is a question-answering computer system capable of answering questions posed in natural language, developed in IBM's DeepQA project by a research team led by principal investigator David Ferrucci. Watson was named after IBM's first CEO, industrialist Thomas J. Watson.
Chess:
It is known for being the first computer chess-playing system to win both a chess game and a chess match against a reigning world champion under regular time controls. Deep Blue won its first game against a world champion on 10 February 1996, when it defeated Garry Kasparov in game one of a six-game match.
Go:
But the victory by software called AlphaGo showed yet another way that computers could be developed to perform better than humans in highly complex tasks, and it offered a glimpse of the promise of new technologies that mimic the way the brain functions. AlphaGo's success comes at a time when researchers are exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence to do everything from drive cars to draft legal documents - a trend that has some serious thinkers pondering what to do when computers routinely replace humans in the workplace.
"Last year, it was still quite humanlike when it played," Mr. Ke said after the game. "But this year, it became like a god of Go."

The largest abortion provider in the nation released an anonymous chat program for teens to ask their sexual questions.
"Roo" is Planned Parenthood's latest attempt at connecting with young audiences, that only works on the mobile version. Meant for ages 13-17, the chatbot provides lists of pre-written questions related to sexual health. Some of these questions include:
"When are you no longer a virgin?"
"How do I come out?"
"What will happen to me if I masturbate too much?"
"What's the best method of birth control?"

FY 2019 NDAA to Authorize $10M for AI National Security Commission
Jane Edwards August 21, 2018 News, Technology
A defense spending measure signed into law by President Donald Trump will earmark $10M in fiscal 2019 funds for a national commission that would assess how the Defense Department can leverage machine learning and Artificial Intelligence for national security, Sludge reported Wednesday.
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence will operate with 15 members who will be named by several agencies and offices, including the members and chairs of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees as well as secretaries of DoD and the Commerce Department.
The commission will also review ethical issues and national security risks associated with AI and machine learning technologies.
The report noted that DoD requested in June to reprogram $70M in funds to set up a joint center to oversee AI efforts across services and combatant commands in support of the Pentagon's warfighting missions.
The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center is expected to reach up to $1.75B in the next seven years, according to the reprogramming request.>>4941311

Washington fears new threat from 'deepfake' videos
Lawmakers and experts are sounding the alarm about "deepfakes," forged videos that look remarkably real, warning they will be the next phase in disinformation campaigns.
The manipulated videos make it difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction, as Artificial Intelligence technology produces fake content that looks increasingly real.
The issue has the attention of lawmakers from both parties on Capitol Hill.
This is going to be a great 2020 election season.

Q Research General #6306: Money, Wine & Influence Edition
"Deep fakes."
According to Great Britain's "The Guardian" newspaper, that's the next big threat to privacy rights, economic stability and the remaining vestiges of civil discourse.
A "deep fake" is a high-tech forgery, using a machine learning technique called a "generative adversarial network" (or GAN). It's a realistic computer-generated replication of a person saying or doing whatever the "puppet master" software user wants them to say or do. Think "Photoshop on steroids."
I have dreamed of such technology being used to give the world an inexhaustible supply of new performances by long-departed stars such as John Wayne or Lucille Ball, but I now fear that nefarious abuses would outweigh the good.
When I was growing up, we never imagined such opportunities for mischief. We might put "devil horns" behind someone's head during a class picture; but nowadays a video could have viewers conned into gasping, "Look! They've killed the opposing team's baby seal mascot and are sacrificing it to the Lord of Darkness himself."
Think of the societal impact if the face of a squeaky clean actress was superimposed on the writhing body of an XXX-rated starlet, if a virtual Bill Gates announced that all Microsoft products would spontaneously combust in 24 hours, if the lily white police chief of a powder keg city seemingly started singing "De Camptown Races" at a press conference, if a special-effects Vice President Mike Pence failed to don gloves and provide a chastity belt for a little old lady before helping her cross the street…
Deceptive editing has already provided Facebook and YouTube with a plethora of misleading videos. When marginally savvy troublemakers can up the ante and use Artificial Intelligence to manipulate the words and gestures of politicians, businessmen and religious leaders, we'll be more polarized than ever, since most people follow the mantra "Seeing is believing."
("Seeing is believing – unless I'm seeing a socialist country like Venezuela crash and burn. Then I say they just need to double down and increase the taxes on that rich guy wrestling a stray dog for scraps from the garbage can.")
On the other hand, the long-term danger is that people will get burned one time too many and start disbelieving simply everything they see. ("That alarmist consumer reporter story about sewer rats here at my favorite restaurant was obviously just a CGI prank and … Ouch! Make it stop biting! Why don't they warn us about stuff like this???")
The algorithms that power "deep fakes" are growing more and more sophisticated. Actually, the software fine-tuning is just overkill in the case of people who already see what they want to see. ("Yeah, those stuck-up private-school girls are obviously guilty of shooting at JFK from the grassy knoll. I saw it on my Etch A Sketch. With corroborating evidence from my Wooly Willy and Spirograph, I might add.")
There is currently a frantic arms race to find ways of identifying and debunking fake videos before evildoers concoct ways of making them even more realistic. Maybe truth and justice will triumph, but only if the forensics experts aren't deceived themselves.
"I know I'm supposed to pull a double shift scrutinizing campaign ads, but an anonymous tipster just sent me a video of my wife having an affair with James Dean and Clark Gable. I gotta go home and see if this marriage can be salvaged."

Trump Finds An Unlikely And Powerful Ally In George Soros As US's Tariff War Against China Heats Up
President Donald Trump has found a new, unlikely ally in his battle against China: billionaire George Soros, a liberal financier who conservatives often criticize as antagonistic to traditional values.
Soros offered a lengthy and robust criticism of the communist country during a private dinner Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The notoriously anti-Trump philanthropist even took the U.S. president to task for not doubling down on his battles against China.
"China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, but it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence," Soros said. "This makes [Chinese President] Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of those who believe in the concept of open society."
Chinese spokeswoman Hua Chunying pushed back against the 88-year-old Hungarian, telling reporters that Soros' remarks were "meaningless and not worth refuting." She also urged the liberal billionaire to "correct his attitude" and adopt a "rational and correct opinion of China's development."
Soros blasted China's global trade infrastructure project, Belt and Road, as well as Beijing's push for Artificial Intelligence, as well as what he considers China's unfair trade practices. Some observers believe the Belt and Road is a scheme to push for Chinese dominance in global affairs.
Soros' philanthropic group Open Society Foundation is often criticized for pushing a philosophy that conservatives find loathsome. Conservatives believe the foundation pushes policies designed to subvert U.S. institutions. Soros' position on China appears to dovetail nicely with Trump's while at the same time speaks to his concerns about threats to a purely open society.
The wealth progressive also chastised Trump for going easy on China.

The head of U.S. Army acquisitions said Thursday that allowing Artificial Intelligence to control some weapons systems may be the only way to defeat enemy weapons.
U.S. military has embraced AI, arguing that America cannot compete against potential adversaries such as Russia and China without the futuristic technology.
Concern over placing machines in charge of deadly weapons has prompted military officials to adopt a conservative approach to AI, one that involves a human in the decision-making process for the use of deadly force.
But Bruce Jette, assistant secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology (ASAALT), said it may not be wise to put too many restrictions on AI teamed with weapons systems.

Quantexa Uses Context-Aware Artificial Intelligence to Uncover Human Trafficking Networks
Quantexa has developed revolutionary Entity Resolution and Network Analytics technology that enable deeper insights into complex financial and real-world criminal problems like human trafficking. Quantexa is able to use their technology to model and achieve a true understanding of groups and people and their relationship and their behaviors so that they can achieve genuine business outcomes, far superior to those achieved using traditional AI and machine learning.
Nextbigfuture interviewed Alexon Bell, head of Compliance Products at Quantexa. Alexon is a hands-on AML (Anti-Money Laundering) practitioner with over 16 years' experience helping financial institutions with AML strategies, architectures and implementations. He has a wealth of experience in helping customers deploy and crucially optimise AML, KYC (Know Your Customer) and sanctions screening solutions, having held leadership roles at Actimize (Fortent), SAS as EMEA/AP head of compliance solutions and Oracle. As a thought leader, he works with banks to help them tackle the latest emerging threats, ensure coverage and prepare for new regulation in the fight against organised crime and terrorism.
Anti-human trafficking will be especially relevant as the Superbowl will be played next week. Big sporting events like the Superbowl, World Cup and the Olympics, regularly trigger an influx of sex-trade workers, with many being victims of human trafficking.
Arrests of pimps running underage sex rings are reported at the NFL Superbowl almost every year. Girls are being trafficked from as far away as Hawaii to hook up with clients via the Internet, hotels and strip clubs.
Some 1.5 million people in the United States are victims of trafficking, mostly for sexual exploitation. The majority are children, according to a U.S. Senate report published last year.
The Quantexa systems have advantages over other systems in that they can identify different companies and individuals in a more precise way. They can represent the correct relationships which are valid so that they do not generate false warnings. They can handle networks with over 15 billion records.
They are already helping many global organizations to solve financial crimes and indentify previously unknown criminal networks.

Americans Fear The AI Apocalypse
Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports that according to a survey conducted byOxford University's Center for the Governance of AI, many Americans fear a future where mechanisms of AI become too intelligent. When asked what kind of impact high-level machine Intelligence would have on humanity, 34 percent of respondents thought it would be negative, with 12 percent going for the option "very bad, possibly human extinction". Only 27 percent of respondents believed in a positive outcome, 21 percent thought AI wouldn't change the future much and 18 percent said they didn't know what impact AI would have.
When asked to consider a negative future outcome of AI technology, Americans ranked the AI apocalypse as more catastrophic than the possible failure to address climate change, even though respondents said that it was less likely to happen.
The respondents of the study said that they would trust university researchers most to build and responsibly manage AI technology. 50 percent said they had at least a fair amount of confidence in their ability in the field. The U.S. military at 49 percent came in a close second. Also, more Americans trust Microsoft with advanced AI technology (44 percent) than Amazon (41 percent), Google (39 percent), Apple (36 percent) or Facebook (18 percent).
Overall, a large majority of Americans agreed that robots and other systems of Artificial Intelligence needed careful supervision. Despite the fears, more Americans agreed that high-level machine Intelligence should be developed than said it should not.
The survey also found that respondents underestimated the prevalence of AI technology. While Americans rightly assumed that driverless cars and virtual assistants use AI and machine learning mechanisms, fewer thought of Netflix recommendations, Google Translate or Google Search as products that use those technologies.

Soros calls Xi 'the worst enemy of free societies,' China says it's not even worth a response
Liberal billionaire and renowned political meddler George Soros has labeled Chinese leader Xi Jinping 'the most dangerous opponent of open societies.' China says it's a gross distortion not even worthy of a rebuttal.
Speaking at the Davos economic forum in Switzerland, Soros attacked China's "social credit" system and technological advances, saying Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, put "in the hands of repressive regimes," are a "mortal danger facing open societies."
"China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, but it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most-developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence," said Soros, known for using his money to organize and support movements against the governments he deems oppressive.
The "main source of hope" against Xi are the Chinese people, whose aspirations, according to Soros, are sharply distinct from the regime's.
Beijing brushed off Soros' attack.
"It's obvious who is opening doors and building roads and who is closing doors and building walls. Statements by certain people, which portray black as white and distort facts, are completely pointless and not worthy of even a rebuttal," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying.
"We hope the relevant American can correct his attitude, not be shortsighted, and hold an objective, rational and correct opinion of China's development," Hua added.
Hedge fund billionaire Soros runs the Open Society Foundations (OSF), a vast grant-giving network with the stated goal of making governments open to participation and accountable to the people.
Soros' controversial political ventures include attacks against US President Donald Trump, donating to campaigns promoting a second Brexit referendum in the UK, and helping along the Ukrainian revolutions in both 2004 and 2014, among others. This has earned him the adoration of liberals around the globe and got the OSF banned in Hungary and Turkey. It's also on the list of "undesirable" organizations in Russia.
Trump and his supporters have accused the billionaire of funding protests against the US president - accusations that have been branded conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic.
Soros, the Financial Times "person of the year" for 2018, is also at odds with Facebook and Google. He called the tech giants a "menace" during his Davos speech last year.

Q Research General #6245: The Senate Debate Continues Edition
Soros Agrees With Trump: China Is A "Mortal Danger" And US Must "Crack Down"
One year after bashing cryptocurrencies, and lashing out at Facebook and Google at the 2018 Davos conference, warning the two companies are a "menace" and "monopolistic" and predicting it's "only a matter of time before the global dominance of the US IT monopolies is broken," moments ago during his much-anticipated speech at this year's Davos event, Soros took aim at an even greater adversary, one which even Donald Trump might agree with: China.
Soros started his prepared remarks by cautioned "the world about "an unprecedented danger that's threatening the very survival of open societies", before warning about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence in the hands of "authoritarian regimes such as China" and called President Xi Jinping "the most dangerous" opponent of open societies.
"The instruments of control developed by Artificial Intelligence give an inherent advantage of totalitarian regimes over open societies," the former hedge fund manager said on Thursday evening at Davos.
Reminding listeners that last year when he "spent most of my time analyzing the nefarious role of the IT monopolies" Soros said "an alliance is emerging between authoritarian states and the large data rich IT monopolies that bring together nascent systems of corporate surveillance with an already developing system of state sponsored surveillance. This may well result in a web of totalitarian control the likes of which not even George Orwell could have imagined."
While Soros' ideological critics may have a chuckle at the irony that the billionaire supporter of Hillary Clinton is the one warning about Orwellian control, we would not be surprised if even president Trump found himself agreeing when Soros said today that he wants "to call attention to the mortal danger facing open societies from the instruments of control that machine learning and Artificial Intelligence can put in the hands of repressive regimes. I'll focus on China, where Xi Jinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme."
The focus of Soros' criticism had to do with China's social credit system, which we have discussed extensively in the past. As a reminder, in November, the "Beijing Further Optimization of the Business Environment Action Plan (2018-2020)" was distributed to all district committees, district governments, municipal party committees, local government ministries and commissions bureaus, various head offices, multiple people's organizations, colleges, and universities. The report detailed Beijing's ambitious plan to control each of its 22 million citizens based on a system of social scoring that punishes behavior it does not approve, with the full implementation of the program to be rolled out by 2020. In short, people with great social credit will get "green channel" benefits while those who violate laws will be punished with restrictions and penalties.
China is doing the same at the national level as well, and it represents the development Soros is most worried about:
All the rapidly expanding information available about a person is going to be consolidated in a centralized database to create a "social credit system." Based on that data, people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the one-party state. People will then be treated accordingly.
The social credit system is not yet fully operational, but it's clear where it's heading. It will subordinate the fate of the individual to the interests of the one-party state in ways unprecedented in history.
While noting that China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, Soros said it was "undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of those who believe in the concept of open society. But Xi isn't alone. Authoritarian regimes are proliferating all over the world and if they succeed, they will become totalitarian."

PROTOCOL FOR A U.S. NUCLEAR STRIKE
By Bruce Blair|February 28, 2018
This article is part of a series from the November 2017 Harvard University conference entitled "Presidential First Use: Is it legal? Is it constitutional?
The current US protocol for deciding whether to launch a nuclear strike-developed in the early 1960s, with the advent of intercontinental ballistic missiles-has two main functions and virtues: first, it concentrates the power and authority over the use of nuclear weapons in the presidency, at the highest level of the executive branch of the US government, thus keeping it out of the hands of the military and others. Second, it enables the president to respond rapidly and decisively to a nuclear attack by an enemy whose missiles may fly from one side of the planet to the other in 30 minutes; or whose missiles launched from submarines in the oceans may fly to targets in the United States in 15 minutes. It's critical to have a protocol that allows the president to consider the use of nuclear weapons and, if necessary, to order their use, and to have the process of implementation begin in a very, very short period of time.
If we are under attack, the president is going to have to consider his options in about six minutes, …more on site…

Army chief for tapping AI, Big Data for defense forces | India News
HYDERABAD: Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on Sunday stressed the need to focus on incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data computing into the Armed forces' system, saying the northern adversary of the country (China) was spending "huge money" on this technology.
Addressing the valedictory function of the National Conference on 'Self Reliance in Defence Manufacturing' here, he also said rapid advances in technology necessitated incorporation of the industrial sector into defence manufacturing.
"Apart from guns and rifles, we will see lot of non contact warfare happening. Future wars are going to be fought in cyber domain," he said.
It was important to start understanding the relevance of AI and Big Data computing and how to incorporate this in into the defence system, he said. "Our adversary on the northern border (China) is spending huge amounts of money on Artificial Intelligence and cyber warfare. We cannot be left behind. It is time for us to also focus on AI and on Big Data Analytics rather than just keeping it confined to mere definitions," the army chief noted.

The manipulated videos make it difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction, as Artificial Intelligence technology produces fake content that looks increasingly real.
The issue has the attention of lawmakers from both parties on Capitol Hill.
"It is almost too late to sound the alarm before this technology is released - it has been unleashed ... and now we are playing a bit of defense," Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) told The Hill.
Asked whether this is the next phase of disinformation campaigns, Warner replied "Absolutely."
Experts say it is only a matter of time before advances in Artificial Intelligence technology and the proliferation of those tools allow any online user to create deepfakes.
"It is regarded by political and technology experts as the next weapon in the disinformation warfare," Fabrice Pothier, senior advisor with the Transatlantic Commission on Election Integrity, told The Hill.
Pottier worries that technological advances will make it harder to detect false or doctored videos.
"I think it is probably going to be very hard to just use the human eye to distinguish something that is fake from something that is real," he said.
Intelligence experts say the threat from deepfakes is immense and warn of potentially dangerous scenarios if the technology to create them is not reined in.
"This technology should be considered criminal, counterterrorism or even counterespionage behavior," said Bob Anderson, principal at The Chertoff Group.
For example, experts posed hypotheticals such as terrorist groups ISIS or al Qaeda manufacturing videos of American soldiers creating atrocities on the battlefield as propaganda; videos falsely showing political candidates making controversial remarks before an election; or CEOs announcing incorrect financial projections.
The fallout from such scenarios could be disastrous.

Abe to propose creating global rules on data flow in Davos speech
Yomiuri Shimbun
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to propose creating international rules on the movement of personal and corporate data in a Wednesday speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, it has been learned.
Abe conceives of establishing a framework for negotiating the rules among members of the World Trade Organization and hopes to reach an agreement to launch talks when leaders of the Group of 20 nations meet in Osaka in June, the sources said. Abe wants to take a leading role in drawing up the rules at the summit, which will be chaired by Japan.
In his speech in Davos, Abe will emphasize the importance of the movement of data. "The engine of growth no longer runs on gasoline but on digital data," he plans to say, the sources said.
The free flow of data across national borders is seen as essential to economic growth driven by Artificial Intelligence and the internet. Big data - information on consumers' online browsing histories and purchase records - has even been called "modern petroleum."
Japan, the United States and the European Union agree that interested WTO member nations should embark on creating new rules. They believe there should be sufficient safeguards on the flow of data to prevent problems such as leaks of secret or personal information.
In contrast, China is strengthening its restrictions on transferring data outside the country, as well as taking other steps that benefit its domestic information technology industry, such as demanding foreign companies transfer their technology when doing business in China.
To create an environment where data can move freely around the world, Abe has resolved to call for the negotiations not only involving the United States and Europe, but a wide range of WTO member nations, including China, India and African countries.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership commission, made up of ministerial officials from TPP countries, was held in Tokyo on Saturday. Abe told the ministers at the meeting that the trade pact's "clear provisions on the free flow of data will serve as a model for future international rules." The TPP prohibits excessive restrictions on the movement of data. Abe also aims to incorporate such a provision into the new rules, the sources said.
However, even if Abe succeeds in launching the negotiations, China and other countries will likely insist on maintaining their own rules on data movement, which might make reaching an agreement difficult.

Sony Brings Back Aibo Robot Dog-Now Powered by Qualcomm
Sony is bringing the Aibo robot dog back to America - this time 'powered by Qualcomm chips that facilitate the pet's Artificial Intelligence. Officials at Sony Electronics, whose U.S. headquarters is in Rancho Bernado', said the robotic companion has been available in Japan since January and will go on sale here later this month. "This is Artificial Intelligence meeting robotics with a personality," said Mike Fasulo, president and CEO of Sony Electronics North America.
The new Aibo can recognize up to 100 human faces and, just like a real puppy, develop a complex personality over a three-year period. It can detect words of praise and smiles, and react to being petted or scratched on the head. The Aibo was introduced in 1999 and discontinued in 2006, but retained a devoted fan base. The new model takes advantage of the developments in cloud computing over the past decade. Inside the dog is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, one of the San Diego-based company's top-of-the-line chip sets for smartphones. The Aibo uses the Qualcomm technology to connect to cloud computing resources for memory and learning. What Sony is calling the "First Litter Edition" will be sold online and retail for $2,899.

Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey is making a 'virtual' border wall with A.I., and it's already working
Virtual reality technology made Palmer Luckey a multi-millionaire. Now, the Oculus co-founder's new company is using Artificial Intelligence technology to create a high-tech surveillance system that could be used to build a "virtual wall" on the southern US border. In fact, Anduril Industries, the defense technology start-up Luckey founded in 2017, has already tested its border control tech in Texas and San Diego. In those tests, Anduril's surveillance technology helped US border agents catch dozens of people who were trying to cross the border into the US without authorization, US Customs and Border Protection told Wired in June 2018.
When Luckey was only 21 years old, he sold Oculus, the virtual reality headset company, to Facebook for over $2 billion just a few years after creating the first prototype as a teenager working out of his parents' garage. Here's how Luckey, now 26, describes his latest company's AI-powered system, which is called Lattice, in an October 2018 interview with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin: "What Lattice is is an AI-powered sensor fusion platform that can take data from thousands of sensors and integrate it into a single cohesive, real-time 3-D model that has everything in it tagged using machine learning - so, all the people, all the vehicles, all the drones and the aircraft over very large areas." Lattice uses a network of connected cameras and infrared sensors that can be set up along wide swaths of land (attached to towers, or even to small flying drones), potentially covering hundreds of miles of the US border. The system's AI-powered technology can scan for movement miles away while analyzing the source to see if it has spotted a person, a vehicle, an animal, etc. Anduril's technology has "a lot of applications," Luckey tells CNBC. "We're securing military bases, we have sites that are on the U.S. border, we're doing some programs we can't talk about," Luckey says. "There's a lot of applications for this in protecting oil pipelines, protecting airports, protecting power plants - basically, anywhere where you want to know everything that's going on, so that you can have people focusing on responding to problems instead of looking for the problems."
In the case of border security, Lattice could make it easier for US border agents to monitor for unauthorized border crossings. Rather than agents scanning surveillance systems themselves, poring over footage from hundreds of miles of land looking for people and vehicles trying to cross the border without authorization, border agents would instead receive alerts from Lattice any time the system's AI-powered technology identifies a potential unauthorized crossing in progress. Border control is an obvious potential application for Anduril's Lattice technology, Luckey tells CNBC. The Lattice system lets border agents "know what they're responding to [and] they can choose what the most important thing is to respond to, and they're not going into every single situation treating it like it's an elevated threat level because they have no idea what's happening," Luckey says.
After just a 10-week period of testing Lattice on a Texas ranch on the southern US border in 2018, Anduril's technology helped border agents catch 55 people trying to cross into the US without authorization, US Customs and Border Protection told Wired last year. Those border agents also seized 982 pounds of marijuana in those arrests (though, Wired notes that 39 of the 55 individuals apprehended were not carrying drugs). While the company's results in Texas were part of an informal test on a privately-owned ranch, the San Diego office of US Customs and Border Protection also tested the Lattice technology in 2018, which resulted in an additional 10 people apprehended at the US border in the program's first 12 days, according to Wired. US Customs and Border Protection did not respond to CNBC's request for updated information on tests of Lattice technology on the US border.
The US military has also tested Anduril's Lattice system. In November, an official Twitter account for the US Marine Corps Base & Air Station Camp Pendleton near San Diego tweeted a video showing how the Marines use the Lattice system's sensors, placed offshore of the oceanside military base, to detect unknown objects. Lattice drones can then relay live images back to the base in order to detect any potential threats. "This new system has the potential to ensure the safety of Camp Pendleton by monitoring its surrounding waters," Lance Cpl. Drake Nickels says in the video.

How AI will find you in the crowd, without facial recognition
Media and privacy advocates have devoted a lot of attention to facial recognition as a means to identify, and then surveil, specific individuals in public. But facial recognition works far better on mugshots than in crowded public spaces where lighting, camera angles, and obscuring objects can't be controlled. And yet the debate might soon be moot, thanks to Portuguese researchers who say Artificial Intelligence can detect and identify individuals without facial recognition. They know, because they tested it on zebrafish and flies.
Dubbed idtracker.ai, their approach uses a convolutional neural network, or CNN, a method of deep learning that mimics, somewhat, the way human and other mammal brains make sense of the world around them. The brain's cortex divides the visual field the way a map is divided into grids. Cell groups in the cortex overlap in the portion of the visual field that they "see," enabling the brain to track objects across the entire field, from one grid to the next. CNNs play a big role in many facial recognition programs, but there is less research applying the technique to video of moving objects.
Rather than apply the neural network to a face, dividing it up into regions, the researchers applied it to the collective behavior of groups of zebrafish and flies. They showed that the network could teach itself to recognize individuals by their movements. They were above 99 percent accuracy for both zebrafish and flies.
Could you apply it to humans as easily? They describe the technique as "species agnostic," so yes.

Interesting little snippet right here:
IPO and investor lawsuit
In March 2010, Kalin said that the company is profitable and "plans to go public, though not until at least next year."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etsy#IPO_and_investor_lawsuit Financial statements required to be filed by Etsy in order to go public show that due to reinvestment of annually increasing gross profits in marketing, product development, and management, the company has not reported a net profit as of 2015.
In December 2010, Etsy said it had seven million registered users, and that it would continue to focus on a personal community feel as it grows larger, as that is part of what distinguishes it from eBay.
On March 3, 2015, Etsy announced that it had filed for a $100 million USD IPO. As of 2015, Etsy generated transactions worth US$1.93 billion on its platform, which has 54 million members. Etsy went public on April 16, 2015. The company's valuation was $1.8 billion and raised $237 million in IPO proceeds. Less than a month later, Etsy stock dropped more than 8%. The stock closed at $30 on its first day of trading on April 16 and dropped down to $20.32 as of May 11.
Shortly after the IPO in 2015, a group of investors filed a class action lawsuit against Etsy claiming fraud. The suit claimed that Etsy's CEO and officers failed to disclose numerous problems with the site which could affect the stock price, among them that "more than 5 percent of all merchandise for sale on Etsy's website may be either counterfeit or constitute trademark or copyright infringement" and that "brands are increasingly pursuing sellers on Etsy for trademark or copyright infringement, jeopardizing listing fees and commissions." The suit also claimed that Etsy management knew of the rampant trademark and copyright infringement but did little to stop it, and in fact worked to hide this information from potential investors.
In September 2016, Etsy announced the acquisition of Artificial Intelligence startup, Blackbird Technologies. Etsy Inc. after experience a first-quarter loss in May 2017, replaced its chief executive and cut 8% of its workforce. Board member Josh Silverman was appointed CEO over Chad Dickerson.
In May 2017, the company's board replaced Dickerson as CEO with Josh Silverman, citing pressure from shareholders and poor profits.

The elite are all about transcendence and living forever and the secrets of the universe and they want to know all this, some are good some are bad some are a mix; but the good ones don't ever want to organize, the bad ones tend to want to organize because they lust after power. Powerful consciousnesses don't want to dominate other people, they want to empower them so they don't tend to get together until things are really late in the game, then they come together and evil is always defeated. Because good is so much stronger. And we're on this planet and Einstein's physics showed it, Max Planck's physics showed it- there's at least twelve dimensions. And now that's all the top scientists and billionaires are coming out and saying it's a false hologram, it is Artificial, the computers are scanning it and finding tension points where it's Artificially projected and gravity is bleeding in to this universe. That's what they call dark matter. So we're like a thought or a dream that's a wisp in a computer program, some God's mind, whatever. They're proving it all, it's all coming out.?
Now, there's like this subtransmission zone below the third dimension that's just turned over to the most horrible things, it's what it resonates to, and it's trying to get up into the third dimension; that's just a basic level consciousnesses, to launch up into the next levels. Our species is already way up at the fifth, sixth dimension consciously, our best people. But there's this big war trying to basically destroy humanity because humanity has free will and there's a decision to which level we want to go to. We have free will so evil is allowed to come in and contend and not just good. And the elites themselves believe they're racing using human technology to try to take our best minds and build some type of breakaway civilization where they're going to merge with machines, transcend and breakaway from the failed species that is Man. Which is kind of like a false transmission because they're thinking what they are is ugly and bad; projecting it onto themselves instead of believing no, it's a human test about building us up.?
And so Google was set up 18, 19 years ago so that they wanted to build a giant Artificial system. And Google believes the first Artificial Intelligence will be a supercomputer based on the neuron activities of the hive mind of humanity, with billions of people wired into it with the internet of things, and so all of our thoughts go into it and we're actually building a computer with real neurons in real-time that's also psychically connected to us that are organic creatures so that they will have current prediction powers, future prediction powers- a true crystal ball- but the big secret is once you have a crystal ball and know the future you can add stimuli beforehand and make decisions and control the future. And so then it's the end of consciousness and free will for individuals as we know and a true 2.0 in a very bad way hive mind consciousness with an AI jacked into everyone knowing our hopes and dreams, delivering it to us not in some P.KD. wirehead system where we plug in and give up on consciousness because of unlimited pleasure but because we were already wired in and absorbed before we knew it by giving over our consciousness to this system by our daily decisions that it was able to manipulate and control into a larger system.?
There's now a human counterstrike taking place to shut this up before it gets fully into place and to block these systems, and to try and have an actual debate about where humanity goes, and cut off the paedophiles and psychic vampires that are controlling this A.I system before humanity is destroyed.
The paedophiles, at whatever level, they rule the devil, whatever you want to call, this interdimensional thing, which gives them advanced off world technology, the fallen one, that's out of this world, is giving them advanced knowledge on how to construct these systems that have already been used before on other populations. That's Satan. Satan became something, that you know, the stupid preacher tells you about, who's totally controlled or something you read about in the news or TV, but this is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine free will we are given to build something much better and empowers the species so the species is now making a decision about its entire future. I know from looking at all the data, researching it, studying it, watching the enemy, that's the big decision that humanity has now got before us.?

Russia: Expect a national AI roadmap by midyear
Russia is adding details, deadlines, and dedicated funding to its draft national roadmap for the development of Artificial Intelligence technologies, and expects to release the final version in mid-year.
The roadmap "provides for the creation of a list of projects that will help identify and remove barriers to the development of end-to-end technologies, as well as predict the market demand for Artificial Intelligence in the country," as state media put it in October 2018. Moreover, the new document will form a cornerstone of the larger Digital Technologies national program.
Already, it appears that Moscow is increasing the amount of money it intends to devote to AI R&D. In late 2017, the government was planning to spend about $419 million (28 billion rubles) by 2020. But last October brought a new version of the 2019-21 plan for Digital Technologies which appears to call for spending nearly twice that much: $287 million for leading research centers and start-ups, $145 million to develop products, services and platforms, and $287 million for technology "at the extreme degree of readiness."
Russia's interest in AI seems to have swung into a higher gear after September 2017, when President Vladimir Putin said that Artificial Intelligence is "humanity's future" and that the country that masters it will "get to rule the world." In March 2018, government officials held a conference to encourage cooperation on AI between private companies and organizations and various government agencies. Organized by the Ministry of Defense (MoD), Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Ministry of Education and Science, the event saw Defense Minister Shoigu call for public-private cooperation. Then-Defense Minister Borisov added that AI would help Russia prevail in cyberspace and win in information wars.

DARPA Thinks Insect Brains Might Hold the Secret to Next-Gen AI
The Pentagon's research wing is trying to reduce the amount of computing power and hardware needed to run advanced Artificial Intelligence tools, and it's turning to insects for inspiration.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on Friday began soliciting ideas on how to build computing systems as small and efficient as the brains of "very small flying insects." The Microscale Biomimetic Robust Artificial Intelligence Networks program, or MicroBRAIN, could ultimately result in Artificial Intelligence systems that can be trained on less data and operated with less energy, according to the agency.
Analyzing insects' brains, which allow them to navigate the world with minimal information, could also help researchers understand how to build AI systems capable of basic common sense reasoning.
"Nature has forced on these small insects drastic miniaturization and energy efficiency, some having only a few hundred neurons in a compact form-factor, while maintaining basic functionality," officials wrote in the solicitation. "Understanding highly-integrated sensory and nervous systems in miniature insects and developing prototype computational models … could be mapped onto suitable hardware in order to emulate their impressive function."
The project comes as part of DARPA's broader Artificial Intelligence Exploration program, which provides rapid, small-scale investments in efforts to create so-called "third wave" Artificial Intelligence. Unlike current AI tools, which must be explicitly trained to perform narrow functions, third wave systems would be instilled with the generalized reasoning and contextual awareness so as to better understand the world it describes.

DARPA Wants to Build Conscious Robots Using Insect Brains
The Pentagon's emerging technologies unit put out a call last week for proposals that use insect brains to control robots - because they could be used to create efficient new models for Artificial Intelligence, but also because they could be used to explore the meaning of consciousness.
"Nature has forced on these small insects drastic miniaturization and energy efficiency, some having only a few hundred neurons in a compact form-factor, while maintaining basic functionality," reads a document in the proposal. "Furthermore, these organisms are possibly able to display increased subjectivity of experience." It goes on to say that there's evidence suggesting that "even small insects have subjective experiences, the first step towards a concept of 'consciousness.'"

Army Looking at AI-Controlled Weapons to Counter Enemy Fire
The head of U.S. Army acquisitions said Thursday that allowing Artificial Intelligence to control some weapons systems may be the only way to defeat enemy weapons.
U.S. military has embraced AI, arguing that America cannot compete against potential adversaries such as Russia and China without the futuristic technology.
Concern over placing machines in charge of deadly weapons has prompted military officials to adopt a conservative approach to AI, one that involves a human in the decision-making process for the use of deadly force.
But Bruce Jette, assistant secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology (ASAALT), said it may not be wise to put too many restrictions on AI teamed with weapons systems.
"People worry about whether an AI system is controlling the weapon, and there are some constraints on what we are allowed to do with AI," he said at a Jan. 10 Defense Writers Group breakfast in Washington, D.C.
There are a number of public organizations that have gotten together and said, "We don't want to have AI tied to weapons,"Jette explained.
The problem with this policy is that it may hinder the Army's ability to use AI to increase reaction time in weapon systems, he said.

Police plan AI experiment for anti-terror investigations / Video tech, car data to be used
The Yomiuri ShimbunThe National Police Agency (NPA) is planning to begin experimenting with the use of Artificial Intelligence in anti-terrorism and criminal investigations next fiscal year, according to sources.
The experiments would involve using the characteristics of past attacks in Europe to train AI to identify terrorists in crowded areas, and introducing AI systems to analyze surveillance videos in criminal investigations.
If the methods prove effective, they could be deployed during the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo.
The NPA plans to conduct experiments in three areas: identifying suspicious people and objects targeting large events; determining the model of automobiles; and analyzing suspicious financial transactions.
At large sports competitions, events and international conferences, surveillance cameras and other equipment would be installed temporarily to prevent terrorist attacks. The experiment would involve testing a system that uses AI to automatically detect suspicious people and objects from surveillance videos and other data.
In Europe, terrorists have set their sights on so-called soft targets - events where large numbers of people gather. In the 2015 Paris attacks, the terrorists targeted a soccer match involving the French national team, while a pop concert in Britain was attacked in 2017.
The new system would use past attacks to teach AI the signs of an impending attack and the characteristics of terrorist behavior.
In the midst of large crowds, the system would need to automatically detect people exhibiting unusual behavior, such as repeatedly visiting a certain location or staying in one place, and suspicious objects that are abandoned for long periods.
After detecting something, the system would issue a warning so police officers could assess the situation, such as to determine whether the person in question is armed.
Attempts to analyze videos of crowds are already being made.
In July, the Metropolitan Police Department partnered with major electronics maker Panasonic Corp. in an experiment at the Sumida River Fireworks Festival.
In the experiment, a police car parked at an intersection recorded spectators and others on video, which was used to count the number of people in a specific area and predict the direction in which people move, among other tasks.

The Israel Innovation Authority, the body in charge of setting out the nation's tech policies, has warned that the so-called Startup Nation is "falling behind in the race for AI-based technological dominance" and, without the allocation of appropriate resources and tools, risks losing out to other nations.
"The race for leadership in Artificial-Intelligence-based technology has begun," said Aharon Aharon, the CEO of the Israel Innovation Authority, in a phone interview with The Times of Israel, as the authority released its 2018-19 annual report. "AI will be with us for very many years, and without a massive national program for Israel we'll trail the rest of the world."
Israel "must close the gap" with the countries that are making enormous investments in Artificial Intelligence infrastructures, he added.
The authority is calling for "the consolidation of all sectors - government, academia, and industry - to establish a vision and a strategy on AI for the Israeli economy."
Artificial Intelligence - the field that gives computers the ability to learn - has been around since the 1950s. It is now enjoying a renaissance made possible by the higher computational power of chips. The field is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of almost 37 percent from 2018, and is expected to be a $191 billion market by 2025, according to MarketsandMarkets, a research firm.

Scenario #4(High-cost centralized storage & high demand for consumer privacy/security)
Digital Apocalypse : Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "whoever leads in AI will
rule the world." Unbeknownst to the common man, the transition into the information age has
exposed the rich and powerful, who have remained comfortable in the background for
decades, if not centuries, to disruptive forces threatening their hold on their power, status, and
wealth in the world. Promoting utopian ideas such as the singularity and other
pseudo-religious notions, among other fervorous incentives, they invested heavily in the
development of Artificial Intelligence. Corporate blackmail and market manipulation became
popular attack vectors in the hybrid wars. In secret, either an advanced quantum computer
was developed to hack the most sensitive financial, military, and social media databases or
during the large-scale hybrid war, a malicious AI as able to coordinate massive leaks of
sensitive data on yuge numbers of individuals. Crimes ranging from pedofile rings and arms
trafficking to adultery and cyber-bullying were publicly exposed in a digital judgement day
which displayed the imperfections of humanity in even the most petty of ways. Supposedly
encrypted personal messages were published, and private transaction data were shared with
the world. Massive social upheaval resulted as populations lost trust in their spouses, family,
neighbors, and governments. Needless to say, once the dust settled and sins were forgiven, the
only meaningful way forward for society was to accept a decentralized information network
to secure the three-sided object of privacy, property, and wealth. A unique sign of the Digital
Apocalypse would be massively disruptive black swan events related to data privacy and
security like state-sponsored cyberwar. The chaos may be acute or it might be akin to boiling
frogs, but an inflection point will certainly come in which large segments of civil society,
62
business, the military, and especially individuals will transition to this new model. The
transition will likely be hectic, but it will also likely be driven by marginalized individuals at
the grassroots level. As Mahatma Gandhi famously said, "First they ignore you, then they
laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Artificial Intelligence Helps Track Down Account-Sharing Millennials
Freely sharing Netflix login details with friends and family who live minutes, hours, or days away could become a thing of the past. The company is introducing new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to identify users who share login details with others to avoid paying an additional fee for online entertainment services.
"The Netflix service and any content viewed through our service are for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household," Netflix's terms and conditions state on its website.
Magid conducted video entertainment survey that found 26 percent of millennials between the ages of 22 and 40, out of a group of 2,000 Americans between the ages of 8 to 64, admit to sharing account passwords for over-the-top (OTT) services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.

IBM Launches First Quantum Computer-In-A-Box For Commercial Use
This is a watershed computer technology that will enable Technocracy on every level: Practical Quantum computing outside of the laboratory. "Q" will find its sweet spot in Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Everything. ? TN Editor
IBM unveiled the world's "first universal approximate quantum computing system installed outside of a research lab" at CES earlier this week - and with it, the next era of computing.
The 20-qubit IBM Q System One represents the first major leap for quantum computers of 2019, but before we get into the technical stuff let's take a look at this thing.
The commitment to a fully-functional yet aesthetically pleasing design is intriguing. Especially considering that, just last year, pundits claimed quantum computing was a dead-end technology.
To make the first integrated quantum computer designed for commercial use outside of a lab both beautiful and functional, IBM enlisted the aid of Goppion, the company responsible for some of the world's most famous museum-quality display cases, Universal Design Studio and Map Project Office. The result is not only (arguably) a scientific first, but a stunning machine to look at.

FFS ENDLESS WARS MUST BE STOPPED
Here's how the Army acquisition chief plans to equip soldiers for the next war
In the last year, the Army has embarked on several major modernization goals, creating cross-functional teams for major priorities and the new four-star Army Futures Command, the first such effort in decades.
Bruce Jette has served as the assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology, and during that time he helped shepherd the Army's efforts to modernize following almost two decades of war.
On Thursday, Jette sat down with reporters at a Defense Writers Group meeting to discuss the Army's ongoing modernization work.
Your office now coordinates with the recently created Army Futures Command and the cross-functional teams. What is a concrete example of how work in priority areas has changed with the addition of these new organizations?
I'll give you a prime example. In the past, we looked at air defense as systems. The way you do air defense [is], okay, I've got this altitude, that altitude and that altitude. I need a system that works at those altitudes. Okay, you told me to develop and build a system that can deal with a threat at this altitude, that altitude or another altitude.
They were standalone concepts. The integration of them in a battlespace was purely done at the operator level. So, when I deliver a system under that methodology, I give you the Patriot battery. [It] stands alone, all you've got to do is put fuel in the thing, a couple of soldiers, and the thing works.
So, we've taken a look at the overall threat environment. The threat environment has become more complicated. It's not just tactical ballistic missiles or jets or helicopters. Now we've got UAVs, we've got swarms, we've got cruise missiles, we've got rockets, artillery, mortar. I've got to find a way to integrate all of this.
So, using the cross-functional teams, the technical side has come back and said, "Listen, normally if you want to deal with some of the inbounds that are not missiles, things like rockets, artillery and mortars, the radars that come with the Patriot battery are not the same radars you need to see RAM. Oh, by the way, we were working on this thing for the air defense that's called Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System, delivering next December, systems that are deployable."
So, I don't deliver you a Patriot battery anymore - I deliver you missile systems; I deliver you radars; I deliver you a command-and-control architecture. They all integrate, and any of the C2 components can fire any of the sets, leverage any of the sensor systems to employ an effector against any of the threats. This has positioned us to put Artificial Intelligence in the backside to optimize against the threat that we see in the aggregate.

Slowing down video footage is one thing, but so-called 'deepfake' videos - real and fake footage spliced together with the help of Artificial Intelligence - are becoming increasingly harder to spot and can be put to a limitless array of malicious uses.
Deepfake technology has been used by the porn industry to superimpose celebrity faces onto porn actors' bodies. One company, Naughty America, is launching a service to allow users to place their own likenesses - or those of their friends - onto performers' bodies.
In political circles, concern has been raised that 'deepfakes' can be used to doctor footage of politicians and leaders, making them appear to do or say just about anything. As Russian hysteria gripped the nation following the 2016 election, news outlets and commentators repeatedly warned that 'Russian trolls' were planning on using deepfake videos to disrupt the 2018 midterm elections.
The predictions never came to pass. However, as the footage from Seattle this week shows, AI-enhanced meddling is a legitimate concern, and is being put to use at home in the US.

High-tech border wall plan on display at CES
The same technology used in self-driving cars is being touted as a potential high-tech solution to the US border wall conundrum – with some added benefits. At least one startup at the Consumer Electronics show is showcasing how Lidar, a laser-based detection system widely used in autonomous vehicles, could be deployed along the US-Mexico border at a far lower cost than a physical wall or fence, and with fewer environmental impacts.
Quanergy Systems, among a handful of tech firms working on Lidar border security, is showing to CES attendees its technology being deployed in pilot projects on the India-Pakistan frontier as well as a small section of the southern US border.
"We offer a solution that is more capable than a physical wall," said Louay Eldada, chief executive and co-founder of the Silicon Valley startup. "It can see day and night in any weather and can automatically track intruders, and give the GPS coordinates in real time to patrol officers." Eldada said such a system would cost "about two to three percent" of the price of a physical barrier for the entire US-Mexico border. An electronic solution offers additional benefits, according to Quanergy, including for the environment and in operating costs. "A barrier is an eyesore and it intrudes on the environment, it impedes the flow of wildlife" Eldada told AFP. And without a wall in place, "you don't have to have patrol officers driving back and forth, so you need fewer people" to monitor the border.
A decade ago, the US government canceled plans for an electronic fence, amid concerns it would be ineffective. But Eldada said that technology has vastly improved in recent years, notably with the development of Lidar – light detection and ranging technology – paired with Artificial Intelligence. "With the long range of Lidar, you detect things before they get to the perimeter, and the AI software is so much more advanced," he said. "We can get very high resolution images, and look at someone's behavior. You can see every articulation. This allows you to see how each person is moving and have a good idea of whether it?s a patrol officer or someone about to cross illegally."

CHANDLER, Ariz. - The assailant slipped out of a park around noon one day in October, zeroing in on his target, which was idling at a nearby intersection - a self-driving van operated by Waymo, the driverless-car company spun out of Google.
He carried out his attack with an unidentified sharp object, swiftly slashing one of the tires. The suspect, identified as a white man in his 20s, then melted into the neighborhood on foot.
The slashing was one of nearly two dozen attacks on driverless vehicles over the past two years in Chandler, a city near Phoenix where Waymo started testing its vans in 2017. In ways large and small, the city has had an early look at public misgivings over the rise of Artificial Intelligence, with city officials hearing complaints about everything from safety to possible job losses.
Some people have pelted Waymo vans with rocks, according to police reports. Others have repeatedly tried to run the vehicles off the road. One woman screamed at one of the vans, telling it to get out of her suburban neighborhood. A man pulled up alongside a Waymo vehicle and threatened the employee riding inside with a piece of PVC pipe.

British scientists have developed a new computer programme that can spot if someone has lied to police about being robbed.
The groundbreaking software analyses the wording of a victim's statement in order to identify tell tale signs of fake reports.
Spanish police, who have been using the tool, found it was successful in more than 80 per cent of cases helping them to identify 64 false reports in just one week.
Developed by experts at Cardiff University, VeriPol, uses a combination of automatic text analysis and Artificial Intelligence to recognise when somebody has been lying or exaggerating to the police.
Thousands of false reports are submitted to the police each year with many perpetrators hoping to receive inflated insurance payouts or claims for crimes that never happened in the first place.
But according to the researchers there are certain tell-tale signs contained in written statements which can be quickly identified by the new software.

Following a string of suicides that were live-streamed on the platform, the effort to use an algorithm to detect signs of potential self-harm sought to proactively address a serious problem.
But over a year later, following a wave of privacy scandals that brought Facebook's data-use into question, the idea of Facebook creating and storing actionable mental health data without user-consent has numerous privacy experts worried about whether Facebook can be trusted to make and store inferences about the most intimate details of our minds.

We are monitored and controlled by Artificial Intelligence. Years ago, the US Government started a program called "Total Information Awareness" It was part of the "Information Awareness Office". The goal was –and still is– to have total awareness of what every human being on the planet is doing in real time. But, that is a HUGE job for human beings to manage. So, they are building AI systems to handle this for us. None of these programs have every gone away (contrary to what they tell the public). They are still building them and testing them in places like China, the UK, and in some places in America. In China, they can test them on the public with no backlash at all. The people are already slaves. So, the Government can roll out as many control and tracking programs as they want. The UK and Australia are testbeds for technology that will eventually be used in the USA. They test them there first because the citizens of those countries have already been fully taken over and subjugated. They are powerless to fight back. One example in recent years is security cameras everywhere. They were rolled out in the UK and Australia and Canada first. Then, they rolled it out in the USA. Now, they are testing "facial recognition systems" in airports and at the borders of the USA. But, soon those systems will be rolled out everywhere. After they get all the cameras and facial recognition systems in place, they just have to plug it into an AI system on the back end. After that, there is nowhere left to hide.

- Unveils Data Science Elite Team, a no-charge consultancy that advises clients on machine learning adoption and assists in their AI roadmaps
ARMONK, N.Y. - 16 Mar 2018: As companies look to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) to gain competitive advantage and increase productivity, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today unveiled a new data science and machine learning platform and an elite consulting team to help them accelerate their AI journeys.
Powered by a fast in-memory database that can ingest and analyze massive amounts of data -one million events per second* - IBM's new Cloud Private for Data is an integrated data science, data engineering and app building platform. Designed to help companies uncover previously unobtainable insights from their data, the platform is also designed to enable users to build and exploit event-driven applications capable of analyzing the torrents of data from things like IoT sensors, online commerce, mobile devices, and more.
"Whether they are aware of it or not, every company is on a journey to AI as the ultimate driver of business transformation," said Rob Thomas, General Manager, IBM Analytics. "But for them to get there, they need to put in place an information architecture for collecting, managing and analyzing their data. With today's announcements, we are planning to bring the AI destination closer and give access to powerful machine learning and data science technologies that can turn data into game-changing insight."

I wonder if the NSA's AI can scan our brains yet:
https://www.fastcompany.com/90287723/Artificial-Intelligence-can-detect-alzheimers-in-brain-scans-six-years-before-a-diagnosis
"Artificial Intelligence could one day change the lives of people facing an Alzheimer's diagnosis, according to a new study by researchers at UC, San Francisco.
"One of the difficulties with Alzheimer's disease is that by the time all the clinical symptoms manifest and we can make a definitive diagnosis, too many neurons have died, making it essentially irreversible," said Jae Ho Sohn, a resident in the school's Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and the study's lead researcher, in a statement.
For the study, published in Radiology, Sohn and his team fed a common type of brain scans to a machine-learning algorithm, and it learned to diagnose early-stage Alzheimer's disease about six years before a clinical diagnosis could be made. The AI's diagnostic skills could give doctors a much-needed head start on treating the degenerative disease."

Microsoft and Adaptive Biotechnologies go live with AI engine for universal diagnostic blood test
It's been one day short of a year since Microsoft partnered with Adaptive Biotechnologies to create a blood test with the promise of diagnosing dozens of diseases at once. The idea is to take hold of the body's own diagnostic powers by mapping the immune system's response to toxins and foreign substances. To do that, the team needs lots of data and the ability to sort through it.
That's where Artificial Intelligence comes in.
The companies announced Thursday that the AI system they built is up and running and will initially focus on diagnosing type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and Lyme disease.
To generate the data, Adaptive and Microsoft placed an open call for collaborators to work toward their goal of sequencing immune data from 25,000 people with the five diseases. "Our AI systems are now ready. So please join us in decoding what 'story' the immune system is telling us," wrote Peter Lee, Microsoft Corporate VP of AI and Research, on Twitter.

U.S. Plan to Restrict AI Exports Could Backfire
It could deter researchers from working in the U.S.
Right now, the position of world leader in Artificial Intelligence is up for grabs - but soon, it could be out of the United States's reach.
At least, that's a growing concern in Silicon Valley, the nation's hub for all things tech, according to a New York Times story published on Tuesday.
These industry insiders worry that proposed rules limiting or even outright banning the export of American AI services and technologies will prevent the nation from dominating the global AI industry. And that wouldn't just hurt the U.S. economy - it could also jeopardize the nation's security.

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/censoring-chinas-internet-for-stability-and-profit
China has built the world's most extensive and sophisticated online censorship system. It grew even stronger under President Xi Jinping, who wants the Internet to play a greater role in strengthening the Communist Party's hold on society.
Li works for Beyondsoft, a Beijing-based tech services company that, among other businesses, takes on the censorship burden for other companies. He works in its office in the city of Chengdu.
"Missing one beat could cause a serious political mistake," said Yang Xiao, head of Beyondsoft's Internet service business, including content reviewing. Beyondsoft has declined to disclose which Chinese media or online companies it works for, citing confidentiality.
Many online media companies have their own internal content review teams, sometimes numbering in the thousands. They are exploring ways to get Artificial Intelligence to do the work.
The head of the AI lab at a major online media company, who asked for anonymity because the subject is sensitive, said the company had 120 machine learning models.
According to Beyondsoft's website, its content monitoring service, called Rainbow Shield, has compiled over 100,000 basic sensitive words and over 3 million derivative words.

Chinese video surveillance network used by the Australian Government
They've been used to identify ethnic minorities and political dissidents in China, and were last month banned by the US due to concerns they were creating a "surveillance network" among federal agencies. Now it appears a pair of Chinese video surveillance companies have become entrenched in Australia's government as well.
One camera was used to monitor security threats at a sensitive Australian military base.
Another hangs outside the front entrance of the Canberra office complex that houses the Australian government's top lawyers, two federal departments focussed on national security and an Australian Intelligence agency.
And then there are the hundreds of thousands of surveillance cameras in houses, on street corners, in local council offices, at schools and universities, on buses, in shopping centres and thousands of other public spaces across Australia.
Almost all of the cameras are made by two Chinese owned companies, Hikvision and Dahua. Both face long-standing accusations of spying on behalf of the Chinese Government.
"Having these sorts of cameras in secure facilities just doesn't make any sense," Fergus Hanson, head of the International Cyber Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said.
"It's a real dereliction of duty to have them in military bases.
"But even on the street you've got the potential to inadvertently contribute towards Chinese espionage activity by providing real time information about the situation on the ground, all over the world, and in collective terms, quite an important data feed to China."
Last month Hikvision and Dahua were banned from US government use via an amendment to a defence spending bill.
"Video surveillance and security equipment sold by Chinese companies exposes the US Government to significant vulnerabilities, and my amendment will ensure that China cannot create a video surveillance network within federal agencies," the architect of the amendment, Republican congresswoman Vicky Hartzler, said.
Hikvision and Dahua are, respectively, the largest and the second-largest video surveillance companies in the world.
Hikvision grew out of China's military surveillance wing and the Government retains a 42 per cent stake in the company.
It is making huge strides in the fields of facial and gait recognition software via advances in Artificial Intelligence.

Q Research General #5806: Nice digits, DJT! 17-77-7 Edition
Exclusive: Google - CIA Invest In Future Of Web Monitoring
28 JULY 2010
The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time - and says it uses that information to predict the future.
The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents - both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine "goes beyond search" by "looking at the 'invisible links' between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events."
The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online "momentum" for any given event.
"The cool thing is, you can actually predict the curve, in many cases," says company CEO Christopher Ahlberg, a former Swedish Army Ranger with a PhD in computer science.
Which naturally makes the 16-person Cambridge, Massachusetts, firm attractive to Google Ventures, the search giant's investment division, and to In-Q-Tel, which handles similar duties for the CIA and the wider Intelligence community.
It's not the very first time Google has done business with America's spy agencies. Long before it reportedly enlisted the help of the National Security Agency to secure its networks, Google sold equipment to the secret signals-Intelligence group. In-Q-Tel backed the mapping firm Keyhole, which was bought by Google in 2004 - and then became the backbone for Google Earth.
This appears to be the first time, however, that the Intelligence community and Google have funded the same startup, at the same time. No one is accusing Google of directly collaborating with the CIA. But the investments are bound to be fodder for critics of Google, who already see the search giant as overly cozy with the U.S. government, and worry that the company is starting to forget its "don't be evil" mantra.
America's spy services have become increasingly interested in mining "open source Intelligence" - information that's publicly available, but often hidden in the daily avalanche of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports.
"Secret information isn't always the brass ring in our profession," then CIA Director General Michael Hayden told a conference in 2008. "In fact, there's a real satisfaction in solving a problem or answering a tough question with information that someone was dumb enough to leave out in the open."
U.S. spy agencies, through In-Q-Tel, have invested in a number of firms to help them better find that information. Visible Technologies crawls over half a million web 2.0 sites a day, scraping more than a million posts and conversations taking place on blogs, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon. Attensity applies the rules of grammar to the so-called "unstructured text" of the web to make it more easily digestible by government databases. Keyhole (now Google Earth) is a staple of the targeting cells in military-Intelligence units.
Recorded Future strips from web pages the people, places and activities they mention. The company examines when and where these events happened ("spatial and temporal analysis") and the tone of the document ("sentiment analysis"). Then it applies some Artificial-Intelligence algorithms to tease out connections between the players. Recorded Future maintains an index with more than 100 million events, hosted on Amazon.com servers. The analysis, however, is on the living web.
"We're right there as it happens," Ahlberg told Danger Room as he clicked through a demonstration. "We can assemble actual real-time dossiers on people."

Closer Everyday.. What do you get for pretending the dangers not real
Revelation 13:15
"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
'Are you there, God? It's me, Alexa.' Tech and religious leaders ponder the future of AI together
Can a computer become God? Or, more to the point, could humans invent AI that can convincingly impersonate God - and if so, would humans bother to worship it?
That was one of the questions explored Saturday by technology experts, the faithful and everyone in between at a conference devoted to Artificial Intelligence and faith at Seattle Pacific University.
The concept of "AI Almighty" might not be as outlandish as it seems. Last year, a former Uber engineer founded a nonprofit religious organization called The Way of the Future. Its mission: creating an AI deity. New York Magazine writer Andrew Sullivan wrote Friday that America's religious inclinations are succumbing to other devotions
And at least one participant at Saturday's Technology and Faith conference in Seattle noted that AI might fit modern day interpretations of the Antichrist, as described in the New Testament: An all-worshiped leader, sometimes described as "the Beast," who aims to supplant faith with temporal pursuits. Theology aside, it's not much of a stretch to see today's culture as wound to near-religious fervor over the next technological wonder and looking to it for guidance every hour of the day.

Christopher White heads up the Memex team at DARPA
"Memex In Action: Watch DARPA Artificial Intelligence Search For Crime On The 'Dark Web"
Of late, DARPA has shown a growing interest in open sourcing its technology, even if its most terrifying creations, like army robot wildcats designed to reach speeds of 50Mph, are understandably kept private. In a week's time, the wider world will be able to tinker with components of the military research body's in-development search tool for the dark web. The Memex technology, named after an mechanical mnemonic dreamt up just as the Second World War was coming to a close, has already been put to use by a number of law enforcement agencies, who are looking to counter crime taking place on networks like Tor, where Hidden Services are protected by the privacy-enhancing, encrypted hosting, often for good, often for bad. In its first year, the focus at Memex has been on tracking human trafficking, but the project's scope stretches considerably wider.

Google & Facebook fed ad dollars to child porn discovery apps
Google and Facebook advertising and pushing child porn apps by going around a app trying to stop the sites.
A screenshot from earlier this month of now-banned child exploitation groups on WhatsApp . Phone numbers and photos redacted
WhatsApp failed to adequately police its platform, confirming to TechCrunch that it's only moderated by its own 300 employees and not Facebook's 20,000 dedicated security and moderation staffers. It's clear that scalable and efficient Artificial Intelligence systems are not up to the task of protecting the 1.5 billion-user WhatsApp community, and companies like Facebook must invest more in unscalable human investigators.
But now, new research provided exclusively to TechCrunch by anti-harassment algorithm startup AntiToxin shows that these removed apps that hosted links to child porn sharing rings on WhatsApp were supported with ads run by Google and Facebook's ad networks. AntiToxin found six of these apps ran Google AdMob, one ran Google Firebase, two ran Facebook Audience Network and one ran StartApp. These ad networks earned a cut of brands' marketing spend while allowing the apps to monetize and sustain their operations by hosting ads for Amazon, Microsoft, Motorola, Sprint, Sprite, Western Union, Dyson, DJI, Gett, Yandex Music, Q Link Wireless, Tik Tok and more.
The end of Google & Facebook as we know it by Dec 2019.

Falling total fertility rate should be welcomed, population expert says
Figures showing declining birth rates are 'cause for celebration', not alarm
Sarah Harper, former director of the Royal Institution and an expert on population change, working at the University of Oxford, said that far from igniting alarm and panic falling total fertility rates were to be embraced, and countries should not worry if their population is not growing.
Harper pointed out that Artificial Intelligence, migration, and a healthier old age, meant countries no longer needed booming populations to hold their own. "This idea that you need lots and lots of people to defend your country and to grow your country economically, that is really old thinking," she said.
Having fewer children is also undoubtedly positive from an environmental point of view; recent research has found that having one fewer child reduces a parent's carbon footprint by 58 tonnes of CO2 a year.

Q Research General #5707:POTUS insulated and Comfy Edition
Rear Adm. Robert Sharp will become the next director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in February, according to a Dec. 26 news release from the organization.
He will take over for Robert Cardillo, who has served as head of the agency since 2014.
Sharp currently leads the Office of Naval Intelligence and serves as director of the National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office. On Nov. 29, the White House nominated Sharp for his third star and the Senate approved the nomination Dec. 22. In a Dec. 26 press release, the NGA formally announced the change in leadership. Politico had reported that Cardillo might be retiring and that a uniformed officer might be chosen to take his place.
NGA, which collects, analyzes and distributes geospatial information to the military and Intelligence community, has been led by a civilian for eight years.
Sharp will assume command of NGA during a ceremony in February, the agency said. He will become the agency's seventh director. In a previous assignment, he served as director for Intelligence for U.S. Special Operations Command
Cardillo had been a champion of leveraging emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to help unburden analysts. Rather than having humans staring at images or hours of full motion video, new technologies could do this monotonous work getting analysts back into the business of using their brain power for analysis.
Cardillo provided Senators in 2016 an anecdote that described how important leveraging algorithms would be to his agency's mission. He explained how an analyst physically counted 25,000 buildings in a particular area as there was no algorithm designed to do this for them. "Think of the hours he had to spend to do that," Cardillo exclaimed. "I turned to my head of research and I said don't let that happen again."
It is not immediately clear if Cardillo, who started as a photographic interpreter for the Intelligence community and became President Barack Obama's daily Intelligence briefer and then the No. 3 official in in the Intelligence community, is retiring or moving to another assignment. An NGA spokeswoman declined to comment.

Don't Worry About Fertility Falling Because Immigration and A.I. Will Replace the Unborn, Says Academic
An academic has hailed mass migration and the coming Artificial Intelligence revolution as reasons not to fear plummeting fertility rates in Western countries, wherein most it has long stood below replacement rate.
Oxford University academic Sarah Harper's views that falling fertility should be a "cause for celebration" were profiled by British left-wing newspaper The Guardian, which reported that changes in society meant Western countries no longer had to worry about growing or even sustaining their populations.
The former Royal Institution director said nations wishing to sustain themselves was "really old thinking", and praised German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a world leader who had found a way to grow their country without having to resort to citizens having their own children.
Speaking of the migrant crisis which Dr Merkel triggered by throwing open her own borders - and by proxy the borders of the European Union as well - Harper said: "I believe that one of the reasons why Angela Merkel took the million refugees was because she desperately needed to boost her working population."
As well as mass migration, the academic pointed to Artificial Intelligence, which she believes will render many human occupations obsolete in the future, as a reason to celebrate falling birth rates.
Harper said: "What we should be saying is no, [a declining total fertility rate] is actually really good because we were terrified 25 years ago that maximum world population was going to be 24[billion]... A smaller number of highly educated people in the knowledge economy of Europe will vastly outweigh increasing our population because automation is going to take over many of the tasks."

Then in April of this year they got investment from Moon shot capital and 5 others including GGV of $1.9M
https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/popily-seed–34258bf7#section-locked-marketplace
Here is a very interesting article about that investment and although the article is not dated we can infer that the date was Aug 28, 2018 and the Nov they refer to is 2017
NEW KNOWLEDGE SECURES $1.9 MILLION IN SEED FUNDING FROM MOONSHOTS CAPITAL TO FIGHT ONLINE DISINFORMATION AND DEFEND PUBLIC DISCOURSE
Cybersecurity Company Leverages Artificial Intelligence to Detect Propaganda Campaigns and Guard Against Social Media Manipulation
New Knowledge, a cyber security company that fights online disinformation and defends public discourse using Artificial Intelligence, today announced $1.9 million in seed funding to fuel customer growth in the entertainment, energy and finance industries. The round is led by Moonshots Capital, with participation from Haystack, GGV Capital, Geekdom Fund, Capital Factory and Spitfire Ventures.
In November the company launched the world's first platform for defending online communities from social media manipulation. The platform detects propaganda campaigns in real time, providing an early-warning system to identify which fake accounts and bots are conducting an attack.The platform also describes how the attackers are trying to manipulate other online users, helping pinpoint the extent of the threat. After alerting brands to emerging threats, the platform equips companies with the tools they need to respond quickly and effectively.
Recently, New Knowledge's technology helped identify fake accounts that were part of the large-scale Russian effort to influence U.S. presidential elections. The company discovered these accounts in the summer of 2016, over a year before social media companies later admitted were tied to the Kremlin-backed Internet Research Agency.
"Disinformation attacks are anonymous, inexpensive, and effective- whether your goal is to influence an election or undermine a brand's reputation," said Jonathon Morgan, a co-founder and CEO of New Knowledge. "Brands are vulnerable, and public discourse won't defend itself. It's time to act. Our recent funding will allow us to scale operations and better serve customers."
Morgan, a former digital content producer and State Department counterterrorism advisor, is joined by co-founders Ryan Fox, a former NSA officer and military Intelligence veteran, and Sandeep Verma, who has led engineering teams for Halliburton and BP. Kelly Perdew, a Managing Partner at Moonshots Capital, will also be joining the board of directors.
"We're proud to back New Knowledge as they help protect companies from a massively harmful cyber threat," said Kelly Perdew, Managing General Partner at Moonshots Capital. "This team is uniquely qualified with technology, media, and security expertise to solve this complex problem."
ABOUT NEW KNOWLEDGE
New Knowledge protects brands from social media disinformation by identifying fake accounts, fake news, and propaganda campaigns. Their products give companies early warnings when bad actors are trying to attack their reputation or manipulate their customers, and help companies defend themselves against this new form of information attack.
ABOUT MOONSHOTS CAPITAL
Moonshots Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm that invests in extraordinary leadership.
Great leaders are hard to come by. We believe the best ones are military-trained or trial-by-fire entrepreneurs who have the ability to motivate others to action, inspire trust, and plan heuristically. We invest with conviction when those attributes are present.
Moonshots Capital was founded by a team of veterans in 2017. We have collectively founded and operated 14 companies, and have personally invested in 70 ventures. Beyond capital, we deploy our military and entrepreneurial experience to help world-changing companies grow.

Check out these rather ordinary looking portraits. They're all fake. Not in the sense that they were Photoshopped, but rather they were completely generated by Artificial Intelligence. That's right: none of these people actually exist.
NVIDIA researchers have published a new paper on easily customizing the style of realistic faces created by a generative adversarial network (GAN).
The Verge points out that GAN has only existed for about four years. In 2014, a landmark paper introduced the concept, and this is what the AI-generated results looked like at the time:
In less than half a decade, the realism has improved to the point where most people might not be able to tell the portraits are fake, even when examining them up close.
NVIDIA researchers are now able to copy the "styles" of source faces onto destination faces, creating blends that have copied features but which look like entirely new people:
This technology seems to have the potential to disrupt the world of photography. It's by no means limited to generating faces - it can also create everything from fake interior real estate photos...
A march toward Artificially generated "photos" has already been taking place for years: back in 2014, 75% of IKEA's catalog photos were already computer-generated.
It may be a scary thought for stock photographers, but in the future, creating needed "photos" out of thin air may be as simple as typing in a description into an AI-powered desktop app.

In a joint effort with IBM, the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) unveiled the world's largest neuromorphic supercomputer, Blue Raven, with the processing power of 64 million neurons. By 2019, AFRL expects to demonstrate an airborne target-recognition application developed using Blue Raven.
The processors, which were developed by IBM with the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), are divided across four individual printed circuit boards with 16 processors each. The boards are configured into a typical server chassis setup and feature high bandwidth data links.
Jeremy O'Brien, senior computer scientist for the AFRL information directorate, told Avionics he refers to Blue Raven as a supercomputer "because of its ability to simultaneously emulate detailed models of 64 million biological neurons and 16 billion biological synapses, and, most importantly, its ability to produce more meaningful outputs from sensory data inputs."
Neuromorphic processors are based on the neuromorphic computing concept first introduced by Carver Mead, a professor of engineering and applied science at the California Institute of Technology. In 1986, Mead was one of two co-founders of Synaptics Inc., a company established to develop analog circuits based in neural networking theories for speech and vision recognition technologies. In 1990, he published his first work on neuromorphic electronic systems in Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Engineers and computer scientists at AFRL will use Blue Raven to execute Artificial Intelligence and machine-learning algorithms. Blue Raven also provides a platform for research and development, testing and evaluation for applications in computational neuroscience for the U.S. Department of Defense and other U.S. government agencies. The Air Force specifically wants to use its computing power to produce advancements in its combat capabilities and is evaluating its computing architecture for integration into onboard aircraft sensors.

Revelation 13:15
"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." 2 Peter 3:3-4 (KJV)
Want to use AI and machine learning? You need the right infrastructure
IT is being tasked with supporting Artificial Intelligence and machine learning initiatives, and that requires thinking broadly about infrastructure needs today and tomorrow.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are emerging fields that will transform businesses faster than ever before. In the digital era, success will be based on using analytics to discover key insights locked in the massive volume of data being generated today.
In the past, these insights were discovered using manually intensive analytic methods. Today, that doesn't work, as data volumes continue to grow as does the complexity of data. AI and ML are the latest tools for data scientists, enabling them to refine the data into value faster.
The right infrastructure, quality data needed
Regardless of use case, AI/ML success depends on making the right infrastructure choice, which requires understanding the role of data. AI and ML success is largely based on the quality of data fed into the systems. There's an axiom in the AI industry stating that "bad data leads to bad inferences"- meaning businesses should pay particular attention to how they manage their data. One could extend the axiom to "good data leads to good inferences," highlighting the need for the right type of infrastructure to ensure the data is "good."

Amazon's Alexa Goes Haywire, Tells Customer To 'Kill Your Foster Parents'
One of Amazon's newest projects is researching ways to make Alexa a more human-like communicator for customers, but sometimes the virtual assistant's language comes across as creepy and offensive.
New research is making Alexa better mimic human response, Reuters reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The research sometimes results in awkward moments for people who frequently interact with the device.
One user, for instance, was surprised after Alexa said: "Kill your foster parents." It's not an isolated incident, according to Reuters. There are also instances of Alexa chatting with users about graphic sex acts and dogs defecating.
The report also showed sources noting that a hack of Amazon traced back to China likely exposed some customers' data. The hack comes as the company works night-and-day on operations making Artificial Intelligence better at handling complex human interactions.
"Many of our AI dreams are inspired by science fiction," Rohit Prasad, Amazon's vice president and head scientist of Alexa Artificial Intelligence (AI), said during a talk last month in Las Vegas.

NEW UPDATES #4 - MARTY TORREY, MORE ON DAVID STONE, new connection FORGOTTENCHILDREN.NET AT BOTTOM!!! CONNECTION TO NORWEGIAN SHIPPING CONTAINERS, JAMES F BLOM, SIMON STRINGER, DAVE (FLIN)STONE HAWAIIAN CONNECTION
Clinton replaced the local HEAL Africa Christian group who had a clinic in Africa for women and babies, with a Norwegian team back in 2009 or so. The team was upset with being replaced as you can see in the email link below, and even though it sounds like they were doing a good job, Clinton replaced them with a Norwegians team.
………………………………………..
And now this…
………………………………………….. ….
After the Norway Pedo network got busted, Norway pulled its funding from the Clinton Foundation!
Norway's ministry of foreign affairs said that it has not renewed pledges it had with the Clinton Foundation which ended in 2015.
"Norway has signed several agreements which aimed to help reduce maternal and child mortality in countries with high mortality burden to ensure progress on the [Millennium Development Goals]," Guri Solberg, the communications adviser for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Finansavisen.
They don't specifically mention HEAL AFRICA, but you can surmise by the context that they are referring to the HEAL AFRICA program.
MAJOR UPDATE: …………………………………….
Boom, Here's your man to handle the human trafficking via Norwegian shipping containers: Simon Stringer James F Blom. (I made a mistake and read the emails wrong. Simon Stringer may be a part of this, as I'll detail below, but it's James F Blom who is the man with all the connections and family history in Norwegian shipping containers.)
"…well healed due to long family history in Norwegian shipping companies. Grandfather was pals with Onassis. You get the picture. Has tight linkage in supply chain & IT space(s). Deals in countries like you and I dealt with counties / states. Brilliant, resourceful. Not prone to hyperbole, says he can bring the 'best in the world' to this effort Based on track record , I believe him. For example, CdeBaca recently met with social networking folks in Silicon Valley. Not sure how that went, but Jim is close friends with the guy who handles 'Facebook's' finances and said he can get his attention 'in one phone call'. Social networking piece helpful, but probably a more aggressive 'identify, track, snag, deal with' traffickers required"
……
HRC,
As of April 21st Dave Stone's former business partner ( James F. Blom ), and I will establish 'Stone Harbour,LLC' (named for Dave) in Delaware. This will be a nice merger of Dave's and my contacts. Apart from the ongoing vetting of Simon Stringer's multi purpose software, at several levels, I am keen to help in the human trafficking effort."
Am I crazy or is this getting intense? There's a lot here, please anyone with time please help research this.
UPDATE 2: WTF!
I just realized DAVE STONE mentioned above is "Dave Flintstone" from the Hawaii connection threads
……………………………………..
UPDATE 3: speculative at this point… but disturbing and needs to be looked into for connections…
Now what about Simon Stringer? its an interesting mention in the email above regarding "multi-purpose software, at several levels".
I strongly believe the Simon Stringer they are referring to is this guy:
…………………………………………
who is a director and major researcher in Artificial Intelligence and Experimental Psychology.
Get this, they have an Oxford BabyLab:

What better way to get babies for Experimental Psychology then with the help of an international child trafficking king pin like the Clinton Foundation?….

Don't be so gullible ,, at least do some research and fact check what you post.. the same trans-humanist agenda bullshit
Howe's story was suspiciously void of specifics. She didn't identify the source of her information, the name of the factory where the alleged massacre occurred, or the names of any of the scientists who were reportedly killed. And while Howe claimed that reports of this robot uprising were suppressed by the government, one would expect some coverage about the deaths or disappearances of dozens of Japan's top scientists to have hit the news, even if the robot aspect of the story was obscured. Yet we found no such reports.
It was also odd that this tale served as little more than a footnote in Howe's overall presentation. In fact, this outlandish story seemed to function more as an attention-grabbing anecdote and less as a retelling of a genuine incident. After opening with this alleged robot massacre report, Howe transitioned to the dangers of Artificial Intelligence, spent most of her time focused on alien encounters, and then concluded by saying that humans may actually be the Artificially intelligent creations of an alien race: "Is it fair to ponder that those first humans were Artificial Intelligence for those who made us from manipulating genetics like robotic lab scientists are now doing on earth today? ... Are we humans actually someone else's androids?"

Amazon has built a vast, globally distributed data storage capacity and sophisticated Artificial Intelligence programs to propel its retail business that it hopes to use to win a $10 billion Pentagon contract to create the aforementioned "brain" that goes by the project name Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, a moniker obviously concocted to yield the Star Wars acronym - JEDI.
As of the October 12, 2018, deadline for submitting proposals for JEDI, Amazon is the betting favorite for the contract, which will go to just one bidder, in spite of protests by competitors, chief among them Microsoft and IBM. The Pentagon appears likely to select a winner for the contract in 2019.

Answer: National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators | CISA - https://archive.fo/wzMtM Established by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in July 2010, the National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC) supports Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (SWIC) from the 56 states and territories, by developing products and services to assist them with leveraging their relationships, professional knowledge, and experience with public safety partners involved in interoperable communications at all levels of government. CISA is the lead coordination agency for the NCSWIC and recognizes the critical role the SWICs serve in organizing and executing the interoperability effort in all the states and territories. The Emergency Communications Advisory White Paper explains the difference between NCSWIC and organizations such as, SAFECOM, First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC), and National Public-Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC).

Answer: michaelbeatty tweet: https://archive.fo/6xPQ8 2013-Dianne Feinstein announces California opens a California-China trade & investment office.. Listen as she explains her "special connection" with Shangai leaders going back to the 1970's. #WAR @realDonaldTrump /> 1:30 9:11 PM - 8 Oct 2019 WASHINGTON EXAMINER: The Spy Who Drove Her: Dianne Feinstein and Chinese Espionage by Ethan Epstein | September 10, 2018 04:40 AM https://archive.fo/s3bep And we now know that China, a much more worrisome long-term threat to the United States than a declining Russia, has been active in the Bay Area as well. Five years ago, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who then chaired the Intelligence Committee, was approached by the FBI. The bureau had learned that a staffer in her San Francisco office was a Chinese operative “run†out of Beijing’s consulate in that city. It appears that he had started as a legitimate employee but was at some point, likely on a visit to the East, turned by a member of the Chinese Ministry of State Security. The staffer had served the senator for some two decades as a general office lackey, a liaison to the local Chinese community, and, most important, the senator’s chauffeur whenever she was in San Francisco, her hometown. Driving Ms. Feinstein would have been a plum assignment for an Intelligence operative; it allowed the Chinese access to the senator’s comings and goings and who she met with, as well as to any conversations she might have had in the car and any documents she may have left in it. According to a column in the San Francisco Chronicle, the FBI did not believe the driver had managed to nab anything confidential. And after being approached by the bureau, the senator promptly fired him. It also appears that, ultimately, no charges were filed against the driver. Feinstein’s press secretary ignored requests for comment on this story; her office has issued standard boilerplate to media outlets saying that the senator was “mortified†by the revelation that she had a spy on her payroll. Despite her efforts to brush matters aside, the Feinstein spy scandal is significant. It’s hard to make out through the media and political class’s myopic obsession with all things Russia, but Chinese espionage in America is epidemic. In June 2015, Chinese hackers stole the sensitive personal data (Social Security numbers, addresses, etc.) of more than 20 million Americans when they breached the Office of Personnel Management’s servers. That provided Beijing a trove of information, not to mention copious blackmail opportunities. Military secrets have been targeted repeatedly, and college campuses are also host to scores of Chinese assets and operatives. Meanwhile, Beijing’s plan to dominate the pharmaceutical, aerospace, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, self-driving car, clean energy, and sundry other industries of the future—“Made in China 2025,†it’s called—is largely based on espionage, notably the purloining of American technology. And those are just the operations we know about. In other words, Dianne Feinstein’s driver might not amount to a hill of beans compared to the OPM hack. But it’s another star in a vast constellation of Chinese espionage against the United States; not to mention a clever way to get close to the chair of an important Senate committee, one privy to sensitive information. So it’s puzzling that the Washington Post has mentioned the Feinstein matter only once, and this in an opinion column rather than the news pages. The nation’s paper of record, the New York Times, hasn’t seen fit to publish even a squib on the matter. I asked the Times’s deputy Washington editor, Jonathan Weisman, why his paper hasn’t deigned to mention the story. Uncharacteristically for the garrulous Twitter-er, who this week has found time to weigh in on Crazy Rich Asians, the U.S. Postal Service, and the crowd capacity of Texas A&M’s football stadium, Weisman declined to answer. Even the Los Angeles Times, catering to a readership that Feinstein represents, has ignored it.

- Question: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-deploying-darpa-funded-information-warfare-tool-to-promote-biden "Information warfare." Imagine that.
Answer: FOX NEWS: Dems deploying DARPA-funded AI-driven information warfare tool to target pro-Trump accounts By Gregg Re https://archive.fo/REa65 An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that received initial funding from DARPA, the Pentagon’s secretive research arm -- transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden. The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize "Artificial Intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media," and then attempt to "intervene" by "identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president." Social media guru Curtis Hougland is heading up Defeat Disinfo, and he received the funding from DARPA when his program was "part of an effort to combat extremism overseas." He explained in an interview with the Post that he was unhappy that top social media accounts often supported Trump, and had effectively defended the president in recent days from claims that he had suggested Americans inject themselves with disinfectant.
