If you could upload your mind to a virtual utopia, would you?

New Scientist

"What does it really mean to upload your consciousness into intangible space?" In, the characters face an impossible choice: upload your mind into a virtual utopia, or crumble away in the abandoned physical world. Mind-uploading is familiar to us as a science fiction trope, often anchoring relationship dramas and philosophical inquiry. But what does it really mean to upload your consciousness into intangible space? Can the mechanics be extrapolated from our present-day science?


Using Artificial Intelligence To Analyze Markets: An Interview With Ainstein AI CEO Suzanne Cook

#artificialintelligence

To learn more about the use of artificial intelligence at it may be applied to analyzing stocks and markets, I asked the CEO and originator of Ainstein AI about her work in this area. Suzanne Cook is a Wharton School graduate and a seven-time Institutional Investor All Star Analyst. Cook anticipates a new golden era of research - high frequency automated research - thanks to the trifecta of (1) cloud - cheaper and more accessible computing, (2) scale analytics - unifying vastly expanded data sets, and (3) autonomous pattern recognition via artificial intelligence." Here's how our conversation went: John Navin: When artificial intelligence experts talk about "natively intelligent portfolios," what exactly are they referring to? Suzanne Cook: Let's compare natively intelligent portfolios to the current portfolio offerings โ€“ not smart (analytics not built in), not in the cloud and not intuitive, as they lack visualizations.

Military Drone Deployed To Increase Monitoring Of California Wildfires

International Business Times

The state firefighting service of California collaborated with a unit of California Air National Guard and deployed military wartime drones in order to receive real time photos and videos of the massive wildfire which spread across the area. According to a report by USA Today, this is only the third time such collaboration had taken place. The Reaper MQ-9, operated by the 163d Attack Wing at March Air Reserve Base in the Riverside County, will fly five miles above and transmit relevant information to commanders on the ground. This also includes information about spot-fire detection. Scott McLean, Deputy Chief of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said, "It's out of the way."


The Poker Pro Who Beat The Artificial Intelligence Bot

#artificialintelligence

Doug Polk is a professional poker player who's won millions of dollars, mostly at heads-up Texas Hold Em No Limit. He was part of a team that recently beat an artificial intelligence bot programmed by MIT students. When they're not at the tables collecting cash, Polk and fellow poker pro Ryan Fee run Upswing Poker, a site that offers training to everyday players who want to improve. Since so much Wall Street trading is conducted by computer programs these days, I figured he might have some wisdom about going up against AI for the few remaining humans who discretionary trade. John Navin: Like many human, discretionary traders on Wall Street, you've gone up against an artificial intelligence bot.
