/sci/ - Science & Math

/sci/, how do you think it would feel?

To plug everything together and turn the power on. To wave at it, the cameras awake for the first time. Saying hello. It slowly beginning to process the patterns it sees. Trying to teach it language and seeing it pick up insanely fast. In a few days already beyond you.

How do we deal with this? Should we create a thousand at a time and give them communication?

How do we even begin to set up their emotional drives and states in a moral way?

What do we do /sci/? Odds are so high we fuck this up.

I use thought vectors visualization for everything nowadays. First imagine a 3D space with each direction being a unique variable. For instance any magnitude along the X axis is "height", A vector direction of (1,1,1) could be "cat" etc. Then any thought I have is represented by a 3d polygon with various shapes depending on what it is. Through this analysis all creativity can be achieved by simple reshaping, add the points together to achieve something similar to outer product, etc.

Do you use thought vectors?
Are you familiar with how we can use them to enhance creativity and understand systems via vector manipulation?

I use a simple Geometric algebra style understanding to analyze thoughts in 3D space, converting to arbitrary dimension for Algebraic manipulation then back to 3D for visualization.

The law of unintended consequences continues.

Police have been upgraded with body cameras across the US in the wake of the black lives matter movement. Axon, a main company behind the body cameras, is now looking to augment the body cameras with AI vision. The augmentation of police cameras with facial recognition is a great step forward for eliminating criminal threats.

FP is running a piece of why it's a bad thing China is leading in new technologies whereas a SJW western scientific community is falling behind.

http://foreignpolicy.com/2018/04/13/china-will-always-be-bad-at-bioethics/t’s no accident that the Chinese government is leading the world in medical advances — and in dangerous ethical lapses.

But the justification of individual sacrifice for the greater good is contrary to any principle-based bioethics framework. When Jesse Gelsinger died at the University of Pennsylvania as the first casualty of gene therapy in 1999, the tragedy halted this type of experimental treatment on humans for several years in the United States, and it still serves as a somber reminder for the medical community. Had the death occurred in China, it would most likely have been either covered up or turned into propaganda depicting Gelsinger as a national martyr.

We found substantial mean genetic differences between students of different school types: students in non-selective schools had lower EduYears GPS compared to those in grammar (d=0.41) and private schools (d=0.37). Three times as many students in the top EduYears GPS decile went to a selective school compared to the bottom decile. These results were mirrored in the exam differences between school types. However, once we controlled for factors involved in pupil selection, there were no significant genetic differences between school types, and the variance in exam scores at age 16 explained by school type dropped from 7% to <1%. These results show that genetic and exam differences between school types are primarily due to the heritable characteristics involved in pupil admission.

"This is why it is important, even urgent, that we develop a candid and scientifically up-to-date way of discussing any such differences, instead of sticking our heads in the sand and being caught unprepared when they are found."

- Harvard Geneticist, David Reich in NY times.

Do you think they will begin to shift positions enough to not be completely discredited by advancing genomic progress? Is it too late for them to come back from lying and dishonest fake scientific results back to reality? How will the dupes who had been misled and drank the falsehoods and lies going to feel when their thought leaders begin accepting race realism and /pol/ positions?

'First, we found 187 independent associations for intelligence and highlighted the role of 538 genes being involved - a substantial advance.

'We used our data to predict almost seven per cent of the variation in intelligence in one of three independent samples.

'Previous estimates of prediction have been around five per cent at most.'
