Google DeepMind
Beware of Cupid Hunts bearing Sweetheart Deals.
When British Prime Minister Theresa May bigged up AI at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month, it was as if she had nothing better to talk about. Name-dropping DeepMind, perhaps the only justification for her claim that the UK can be a "world leader in artificial intelligence", seemed a little desperate, especially as …
Can we please drop "I" from "AI" because there's very little if no intelligence in all existing AI algorithms. I'd really love AI to be replaced with "automation" or "fuzzy algorithms" because it's what it is.
People are throwing "intelligence" around as if we understand what intelligence is. We don't. There isn't even a universally accepted definition of it.
The worst of all, is, of course, the fact that people believe that that the brain is a computing device which processes information. We do NOT know that. It's akin to medieval people saying that the Sun is burning. Yes, the Sun is "burning" but it's not a chemical reaction, in fact it has nothing to do with chemistry.
Likewise with the brain - we see what it does. We created computers roughly 30 years ago and there's some resemblance between what we do and what computers do. Thus the brain is a computational device. This corollary is false.
OK, I had to be more specific: we created computers which resemble modern PCs roughly 30 years ago. To be precise the first PC was released in 1981. And, of course, the first digital computer was created shortly after WW2 but it was its performance and usability were just lacking so I wouldn't call it a "computer" ;-)
I nearly gave up on the article when it lauded the Google translation AI. It has improved from downright dangerous to laughable, but is that really "good"?
I do a lot of translations and I am nowhere near professional at it, but I can still run rings around Google's efforts, between German and English.
At least it has gone from falling off my chair laughing bad to sniggering bad.
As to the article, better an AI winter of discontent than a discontented Wintermute...
Nope, the translations are generally not good enough.
Automated transcription is not impressive and it certainly needs checking.
The last time I tried to translate a large piece of text, the Google Translate text was "so good", I only re-wrote 95% of it and I just needed a "good enough" translation for an email. I also did a short internship at a translation service and the results there are even stricter.
It works for some simple themes, as long as you don't need an accurate translation.
It may remove a lot of drudge work for someone bilinual in the relevant languages. Indeed I know someone who does translations by using GOOGLE translate followed by carefully fixing the result.
The problem is, if you don't know the original language, you can't tell when the automatic translation contains a conceptual error.
I feel like we sort of redefined AI downward until it matched what we already knew how to do, and then declared we'd conquered AI.
A lot of what's going on is statistical methods, like Bayesian classification. Calling it "intelligence" is a big stretch. Even calling it "learning" is a bit iffy.
People (and other animals) have been using their brains to good effect for millions of years. Very recently, a few intelligent people drew up rules for certain highly artificial abstractions that turned out to have practical applications - for example, geometry and trigonometry allow accurate measurement of fields for tax purposes.
Subsequently, the disciplines of mathematics and logic were identified and explored in some depth. Then machines were designed and built to implement a few mathematical and logical operations. The speed and small size of microelectronic circuits have allowed an increasing number of useful tasks to be performed by computers, often much faster - and sometimes better - than human brains could do them. (A goal mentioned by Blaise Pascal nearly 400 years ago).
Computers, then, perform a small subset of the functions of human brains - those that can be specified by very simple and limited abstractions such as logic and arithmetic. On the other hand, unlike all brains, they are not fundamentally driven by instincts to seek some outcomes and avoid others - their goals must be programmed in, and do not evolve. In consequence, they don't combine emotions and urges with logic, as brains do.
Currently the general population see AI as a method of superimposing one face onto another in a pr0n film.
Interesting comment about propriety verses open, Personally I think open would be the best way forward as closed would leave people at the mercy of algorithms which you can't see or control and there has been plenty of noise about AI potentially being unintentionally discriminatory by design.
The problem is you're unlikely to find a smoking gun in the algorithm itself. What you really care about is the training data.
But to be honest we don't really need the algorithm to determine if something is discriminatory. For example, the algorithm for credit scoring is proprietary, making it a black box, but its disproportionate burden on certain groups when they try to not just borrow money, but also rent housing and land a job, is well-known.
Lots of things are unintentionally discriminatory, including nature itself (think genetic lottery and generally the role of chance -- which people completely underestimate, clinging to the delusion they are in control). AI is one of them...
The problem with AI is that there is no appeal against its decisions. We are already neck deep in 'this must be correct because the computer says so', but AI makes it orders of magnitude worse. You can -- in principle -- reason with people and you can -- in principle -- point to bugs in code. You cannot do either with AI. So even discrimination that just appears randomly will likely become self-fulfilling prophecy.
Intelligence is not a binary thing. Any creature with a complex body plan has sufficient "intelligence" to know its own spatial posture and to base decisions on that. Even a 1980s computer chess game had that level of intelligence. By the time animals get eyes and stuff, like say an insect, their level of "intelligence" grows to match the Big Data pouring in from their senses. Frogs, mice, crows, dogs, humans all represent an evolutionary chain of incremental advances in intelligence. Machines are no different. Currently they are probably around the frog level - once they level with the crow we can start crying "AGI".
No. What we are seeing is the beginning of what correlating and evaluating massive amounts of data can achieve with a bespoke program.
We are nowhere near AI and talking about improvements in translation, although impressive indeed, has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with better coding (meaning code that does the job better).
Besides, translation still needs a ways to go before you feed a text to Google Translate in English and get a proper German/French/Spanish/your choice version that does not need to be almost completely rewritten by a competent linguist to be up to par with the original version.
I reckon the translation thing is approximately going from "finding translations for each word in the original and returning them roughly in the order they were in the original text" (equal to Classic Chinglish) to "returning the most common phrase the resulting words tend to be found in, possibly also preferring the phrases typically found closest to the rest of the phrases in the text" (Modern Chinglish a.k.a. "just run it through Google"). True context awareness is nowhere in sight of course, seeing as how that would require actual proper Turing-resistant AI.
Process that are largely not intelligent but are able to make guesses and inferences about data given lots of training, either that or they use a lot of rules dreamed up my fallible meatbags (usually where "the computer says no..."
Identifying pictures as "cat picture" or "not a cat picture" is fine, but not that intelligent as it did not work out that one was a fire extinguisher with a hose wrapped round the bottom and two tags on the handle.
Using an algorithm generated by people will usually end up finding scenarios that were not originally considered which can make decisions appear arbitrary.
As the article says though the hype engine has worked and people are buying the concept.
I still remember the 80's when software like ELIZA was going to revolutionise interactions with computers and make them seem like people. I don't see a huge difference from that even to the expensively constructed digital assistants now proliferating.
The biggest danger in all this is that people end up trusting computers instead of their common sense...
It's an old idea that has regained momentum in the past few years, fuelling more hype ..
It is not hype whenever Reading and Leading AI Gospels .... for they be Virtual Flight Travel Instruction Manuals.
For Per Ardua ad Astra AIMaster Pilot Programs .....Remotely Delivering Immaculate Missions.
cc .. Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, Chief of the Air Staff, in command of the Royal Air Force
El Regers and Commentards All,
I think it is high time that it should be made more widely known that SMARTR Machines are now Generating Future Raw Source for IntelAIgent Lead into New Cyber Terrain Territory ..... Live Operational Virtual Environments under Heavenly Protection and Control for an Almighty Command.
And such has been freely offered to home intelligence services and defence forces ... for their own trial beta servering, for the blazing of new trails.
How very odd that is not widely known. Is it residing and presiding in some Deep Google Minded NEUKlearer Silo?
Inquisitive Minds would have an Answer in Reply.
The first problem is defining what "intelligence" is. We have no solid technical definition of that. It's pretty hard to solve a problem that you haven't really defined. Or, it's easy, since you can do a "shoot and call what you hit the target" sort of "solution".
Alan Turing himself remarked (with what I think was very subtle irony) that as soon as we understand the mechanism behind any apparently "intelligent" behaviour, we insist that it isn't really intelligent. Thus, he argued, true intelligence must forever remain wrapped in mystery.
I very much wish I could have met and talked with him. People like that come along once in a very, very long time - and then the government kills them if it can. (The so-called "cyanide apple" was never analyzed for poison, and it seems likely on the whole that Turing was murdered for some reason comprehensible only to moronic apparatchiks).
For my money, Turing was as close as England has ever come to its own Leonardo da Vinci. Sadly, he only lived a bit more than half as long - and even then Leonardo's constant lament was "Di mi se mai fu fatta alcuna cosa". ("Tell me if anything was ever done/completed"). There is even more crushing irony in the thought that Leonardo survived for 67 years in the chaotic and violent 15th-16th centuries, whereas Turing only made it to 41 in supposedly "civilized" 20th-century England.
You don't need to be HAL to take out quite a bit of the middle of IT and accounting/exec. jobs. With an AI baked into the windows AD environment it would be a lot easier than the AI trying to administrate by powershell scripts. The only thing saving us is that microsoft's AI is dead last in the ranking. Can't drone on, so please use your imagination to fill in the gaps.
As noted, same thing happens over and over when boffin-hobbits make a few baby-steps which get over-hyped by companies or the media and we end up with a lot of over-excited up-talking what the technology is going to be capable of doing.
When this fails to manifest, it'll get quietly buried for another ten or twenty years to be taken out every couple of years so people can laugh at the naivety.
Earlier A.I. and premature over-excitment over terms like VR in the 1990's.
I think it might actually be worse this time round as Marketing have indeed latched onto it as another nebulous hyper term to throw around, making previous exotic IT term usage as naive as 1950's washing powder commercials.
Or roughly that, was what I heard Hubert Dreyfus say back in the early 1970s. Some of you cursed that name when you read it, some nodded in agreement, and most went "Whodat?".
Anyway, his point was that much of AI seemed to consist of grant proposals that were equivalent to someone stacking one brick atop another and noting that the height of the stack had doubled, thus "proving" that in only about 30 such steps the stack would reach the moon.
I am very cynical about AI, having experienced what happened in the 1980's. It was just the same as now, with all the hype but without the threat of AI controlled cars.
The idea of a driver-less car sounds great, until all the qualifications are spelled out - such as that these cars might be restricted to motorways, and would have to revert to manual control in other circumstances - so you can't be driven home after a boozy party, nor can you send your children somewhere alone by car, nor can you start a walk at point A and tell the car to meet you up at point B!
A real driver-less car would have to figure out whether a child (or adult) was likely to blunder into the road, whether a lorry shedding some of its load was a danger or not, understand the difference between a horse with rider, and one without (which I encountered once on a motorway), recognise the sound of some piece of debris getting stuck under the car, etc etc.
The 1980's AI hype was dominated by the idea of Logic Programming, which is hardly ever mentioned nowadays. LP was great at figuring out family relationships, but only if nobody was adopted, changed sex, or whatever! There is no steady progress towards AI - just a series of hype fuelled lurches.
I've just finished Bratko's 'Logic Programming for AI' and its alive and kicking. Its way way beyond family relationships. Get a copy from your local library. I'm self unemployed at the moment and ploughing through as much AI as possible and, compared with what I saw in the 80s its come a very long way down an extremely long road. In the right hands I think its capable of some remarkable things - but then software itself does too in the right hands with the right people managing it. I think we may be coming up to what will be called a winter when it is really a plateau - a bit like when you realise you need to completely re-factor something to make it go that bit further. Libraries will be consolidated and people who know what they are doing will help other people who know what they want to do in a AI ish way and, unlike the massive amount of effort spent managing paper shaped documents on computers that has seriously wasted the vast effort of some of the most intelligent outputs from out universities for the last 30 years, we will see some serious jumps forward.
I don't see us coming to a "winter" or a plateau. I see us coming to a fork, where businesses want to take "AI" in one direction, advancing the mechanisms that already exist; while researchers want to take AI in another direction, attempting actual AI and not just a simplification of the definition.
Siri, Cortana, Alexa, etc are still as dumb as the annoying Office assistant in M$ Office 1997.
While in 1997, we had Nuance Naturally Speaking running on Pentium 1 with whopping 166 MHz. Now, the speaking agent needs constant "cloud" web access, so the Nuance software that powers Siri, Cortana and Alexa now runs on internet "cloud" servers instead of on a high end 3GHz octo-core smartphone, that is running loops around the good-ol Pentium 1.
And of course Google shut-down Freebase.com, (was the biggest open source ontology), to prevent competition (from smaller companies) in software assistants.
We had these expert systems, the hated telephone computers for four decades. And guess what, A.I. winter is coming again, because the progress just didn't happen, well except for semi-automated FakePorn, I guess.
I'm not saying I'm the right hands but I have a Pi3/Camera combination that currently recognises the difference between a chicken, a duck, a rat and a Magpie with over 90% accuracy. This is quite useful when it comes to stopping the latter two nicking the food and eggs. If I can get it to 99.9% on the rat I might just automate a trap and for the magpie a loud alarm (which would put the hens off lay). Its not much but it would pat for itself quite quickly.
A similarly trained device for insect recognition (with a laser!!!) could roam crops and do away with need for pesticides, and indeed weed recognition could also reduce the need for herbicides. Both solutions in mass production could work out cheaper than the chemicals without the likelyhood of resistant mutations cropping up (OK you do get mirrored beetles and silvered plants).
Useful solutions will continue to develop - its twats trying to sell you shit you dont want that are going to have a winter not AI.

How to get Involved
Getting involved with the development of ReconOS and/or applications using it is easy. There are a number of different ways how you can contribute to and improve the ReconOS architecture and strengthen the community.
Ask about it
Once you've gotten a grip on the ReconOS concepts and current implementation (e.g. by reading through our publications and by trying out the tutorial and/or demo builds), the best way to close any remaining gaps in your understanding of ReconOS is by asking questions on the developer forum, which is monitored by most of our active developers. Chances are good that you might identify an area for improvement or add a different perspective on the current state of work. Discussions are good, and there's no such thing as a dumb question.
Use it
Arguably the best way to spread the word about ReconOS (and along the way find out where to improve it) is to use it. If you can come up with a new or improved application using partial reconfiguration, can think of a useful set of APIs or host operating systems, can add support for a new interconnect, or can plainly report success on a project where you've used ReconOS - all contributions are welcomed and valued.
Fix it
If you've identified an area for improvement (be it in the documentation or in the code), it's rather straightforward to add your improvements into the project. You can, of course, always fork the project (as long as you keep within the license(s)), but by far the preferred way is to submit your additions as a patch to the mainline ReconOS repository as a pull request. Before submitting code, be sure to have read and understood the applicable software licenses, and fill out a Contributor License Agreement) - this helps us to keep the codebase straight and clean of any licensing deviations. Again, you're most welcome to ask about and discuss changes within the developer forum.
Also, if you're interested in setting up a more involved collaboration, e.g. within a larger research project which you think could benefit from or add to ReconOS, please get in touch with us either through the developer forum or directly via e-mail.

The same two allrounders that saved Australia's blushes in Wellington have ended Brendon McCullum's ODI batting career.
Mitch Marsh and John Hastings, who shared an unbeaten 86-run stand in Wellington to guide Australia to victory in game two to level the series, combined to remove McCullum for 47 off 27 balls in Hamilton on Monday.
It wasn't the greatest looking dismissal but the visitors would have cared little given the hosts were 0-84 in the 10th over after some powerful blows from McCullum and Martin Guptill.
Mid-off Glenn Maxwell and mid-on Hastings were both uncertain about who should take the skied edge that swirled in the air.
Hastings was out of position and took his eyes off the ball to ensure there wouldn't be a collision with Maxwell.
But the Kookaburra stuck in the 30-year-old's outstretched hands, bringing an end to McCullum's 228th and final ODI dig.
McCullum was given a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd at Seddon Park.
The 34-year-old, who started his international career in 2002 and will end it after the upcoming Test series, was also given a guard of honour by Australia at the start of play.
Australia skipper Steve Smith greeted his counterpart with a congratulatory handshake.
McCullum slapped three sixes to take his ODI career tally to 200 - only Chris Gayle, Sanath Jayasuriya and Shahid Afridi have more in the format.

DMX's team has announced in a recent social media post that the singer has opted to check into a rehabilitation center.
"DMX has checked itself into a rehabilitation facility in its ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first," his team said in an Instagram post. "He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for continued support."
The news comes at the tail end of a fruitful time following the release in January of X from jail. After his release, for his It's Dark and Hell Is Hot album, DMX went on a 20th anniversary tour and even inked a new deal with his old Def Jam label.
This is yet another rehab stint for the veteran emcee who cancelled three shows in California when he checked back in 2017 at a hospital. That same year, while on house arrest for tax evasion, he would check in a New England substance abuse clinic. So far, there has been no details on how long DMX expects this time around to continue in recovery.
At the Three 6 Mafia reunion show in Memphis on Saturday and on the second day of Rolling Loud New York on Sunday, he was initially scheduled to perform this weekend.

Director: Scott Derrickson
Writers: Jon Spaihts, Scott Derrickson
Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton
Synopsis: A former neurosurgeon embarks on a journey of healing only to be drawn into the world of the mystic arts.
Doctor Strange is the newest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and honestly, this is one of Marvel's worst films to date. I am quite baffled as to why this movie is getting such rave reviews, but then I remember most critics give Marvel's movies a pass. Don't get me wrong Doctor Strange is Marvel's most mind blowing film regarding special effects and the ideologies it tackles. I just wished that the same passion went into the rest of the storyline.
After a horrible accident leaves arrogant watching the percentage Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) relatively use of his hands, he travels to Kathmandu, Nepal in search of the secret compound Kamar-Taj. Strange hopes that The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) can provide a way to help him heal his hands. Strange is then introduced to the Mystic Arts and quickly excels to become a sorcerer.
Marvel's biggest issue has been a promising villain, and Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) is not giving much screen time, and his motives are similar to other Marvel villains, so there's nothing creative here with his character. Much like Ronan in Guardians, Kaecilius is working for another huge baddie in Dormammu, which Cumberbatch did the motion capture. Kaecilius is one of the worst villains portrayed on screen, and it's no fault of Mads Mikkelsen, think he was just a filler villain for Dormammu.
Introducing Dormammu is a huge deal because he is one of the deadliest and brutal villains in the entire MCU. I hope that Marvel does not treat Dormammu the same way it has handled Thanos so far and hopefully he makes an appearance in a potential sequel, teaming up with Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to take one Strange in the physical world.
Origin stories are a must for superhero movies, and I think in Doctor Strange we don't get that full transition to superhero without having that defining moment that causes a change in our hero or heroine. I understand Strange is a smart man but so is Tony Stark and in the first Iron Man we see why he decided to become Iron Man, we never see "that" moment that makes Strange want to be a sorcerer.
There is a lot of ground to cover in this film, and Strange is relatively unknown in comparison to Captain American and Iron Man to non-comic book fans, so maybe that is why the story seems muddled. The scenes with Christine Palmer (Rachael McAdams) and Stephen was flushed out more because to me Palmer has a way of bringing down Stephen's massive ego and I wanted more scenes with them together.
The most disappointing thing about this movie is the fighting scenes especially the big climatic battle. Aside from a struggle in the hospital the other scenes lack any innovation or creativity and leave you unsatisfied.
A superhero film that does not have a strong villain, bad fight scenes and an out of place hero would get negative reviews but only if was a DC movie. Do not be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of the dark dimension as Doctor Strange is one of Marvel's worse projects.

CMP Article: CMP Forms Civilian Rifle Team To Lead By Example - Congrats to Coach Robert!
CMP Article HERE
Excerpt from article: "TALLADEGA, Ala. – The firing members of Team CMP had an extremely successful showing Dec. 6-11 at the Talladega 600 highpower rifle matches, recording a score of 1952-69x to lead them to the overall win in the 4-Man Team Match. The winning team consisted of Robert Taylor, Johnny Fisher, Nick Till and Ryan Vander Poppen – all Distinguished marksmen.
Team CMP was assembled in May 2016 by Talladega range master Sara Rozanski in an attempt to build a group of elite civilian competitors. Along with a knack for competitive shooting, Team CMP members are carefully selected from individuals who want to inspire and guide other civilians on and off the firing line."
"A coach of the California Grizzlies (a decorated junior highpower team) since 2000, Taylor is now excited for his chance to play the role of competitor rather than coach.
"The opportunity to [be on the team] was really cool because I'm so used to being the captain and the coach, so actually coming and being able to participate on a team is great," he said.
On being a part of a civilian group, Taylor added, "I hope being here will help promote shooting sports and that we're all good ambassadors to the sport so it'll help other people who have never been in the military realize that you can go out there and achieve good things on your own, without serving.""
