The New em Mission: Impossible /em Marks the Triumphant Return of Cinema's Greatest Special Effect

Slate

A year after saving the summer box office with the smash hit Top Gun: Maverick, Tom Cruise is back for another round of speedy-motorcycle riding, choppy-handed running, and look-Ma-no-CGI stuntwork in Mission: Impossible--Dead Reckoning Part One, the seventh and supposedly penultimate entry in the now 27-year-old action franchise. In the able hands of Christopher McQuarrie, who has directed the past three M:I movies in addition to writing or co-writing the past four, Dead Reckoning displays the serene if at times demented confidence of a series that's found its voice. Even at 163 minutes, it somehow moves with the no-nonsense briskness of a good airport thriller. To be clear, there is some nonsense involved: Dead Reckoning's plot hinges on an espionage-related MacGuffin so technologically advanced it might as well be magical. And there are several of the franchise's time-honored and much-memed "mask reveals," in which a character suddenly rips off their own face to reveal another cast member underneath.


Woman's iPhone photo of son rejected from Sydney competition after judges ruled it could be AI

The Guardian

Suzi Dougherty was chuffed when a happy snap she took of her son on her iPhone turned out so well. She was so happy with the sharp, colour-saturated picture of him posing with mannequins at a Gucci exhibition that she had a copy printed off for her mum and entered it in a local photography competition. Four judges considered the photo – and they loved it. They were suspicious it had been generated by artificial intelligence. Dougherty jokes that she's just upset she didn't win.

Unsupervised Learning in Complex Systems

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this thesis, we explore the use of complex systems to study learning and adaptation in natural and artificial systems. The goal is to develop autonomous systems that can learn without supervision, develop on their own, and become increasingly complex over time. Complex systems are identified as a suitable framework for understanding these phenomena due to their ability to exhibit growth of complexity. Being able to build learning algorithms that require limited to no supervision would enable greater flexibility and adaptability in various applications. By understanding the fundamental principles of learning in complex systems, we hope to advance our ability to design and implement practical learning algorithms in the future. This thesis makes the following key contributions: the development of a general complexity metric that we apply to search for complex systems that exhibit growth of complexity, the introduction of a coarse-graining method to study computations in large-scale complex systems, and the development of a metric for learning efficiency as well as a benchmark dataset for evaluating the speed of learning algorithms. Our findings add substantially to our understanding of learning and adaptation in natural and artificial systems. Moreover, our approach contributes to a promising new direction for research in this area. We hope these findings will inspire the development of more effective and efficient learning algorithms in the future.
