Self Help for Robots

A new robot takes up residence, and it's time to say hello.

Hello, Major!

The image accompanying this article is from part of the work at https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/wonder-2, © Zach Wienersmith, and appears here as fair use (commentary), because: Boy! Do I have comments on the state of AI development.

Not the worst drone-related news, as that infamous distinction goes to the attack upon an Iranian nuclear scientist that supposedly involved an autonomous machine gun.

I won't link to the horrible NY Post article shown in the picture accompanying this article. The yahoos depicted in the AP photo could come from anywhere.

The title of this little blog entry might sound familiar, as I was recently introduced to the ideas of "No Justice, No Robots." That, itself, is a play on the name of the activist group, "No Justice, No Peace" and they all come together in one sad event at Google.

Hugin and Munin make appearances in two articles as two very different entities. Perhaps you already know the names come from Norse mythology. Myths tries to teach us what science now confirms.

Hugin, the third of its name, took to the air today in a successful test flight.

Successors to the popular Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) neural model have been tested for morality. Any surprise they all failed?

We did it! We made it through the nightmare that started even before this website existed!

One hundred years of progress stymied because of racism. The story of Charles Turner (b. 1867, died: 1923) is not just a tragedy of science way ahead of its time, but also the degradation of racism.

Drone safety awareness is fine, but what about drone self awareness?
