The problems with automation and society

In this text, I would handle the automation mainly in the visual angle of sociology and national security. When we are thinking about the use of robots as the production, we must understand the reason, why they are so popular. Robots can make almost everything in production side better than human, and there would no need to pay salaries for the machines. Robots never make mistakes, the people who make programs for robots are making mistakes, and this is one of the worst weakness of those machines.


There is a technique called "CAM", what means "Computer Aided Manufacturing". This term means technology, where the CAD (Computer Aided Design) picture would send straight to the robots, and and then automatized manufacturing process would start. The most advanced version of CAM is 3D printing technology, what allows to make any product by using the printer, what makes 3D objects by using steel, plastic or carbon fiber.


The problem with computers is that they would not have imagined, and they would not actually think anything. This means that if there is an error in the CAD picture, what was imputed to manufacturing robots is an error and nobody notices it, would the large series of those products sour, and that would make worse for the company than any human worker ever can make. In this scenario, even millions of products could be usefulness, because some engineer has made mistake while making the picture for robots.  Those printers are very interested in military forces because they allow making military products like Drones and even heavy combat equipment like tanks in the operational area.


Those systems might also bring the very dangerous element to war because it allows making "black systems" what means airplanes and other equipment, what is not found in the inventory of military forces. And if the system can make spare parts for aircraft or tanks, could those parts used also for making complete products. But when we are thinking the problems of the automation in the social angle of view, we must understand that growing population of the human race, would need something to do. If we are thinking about "ghost factories", where is only robot workers, we are facing the problems of mass unemployment.


People need something to do, and if they would not get any work, they would start to hang in shopping centers. In the works cases, what have seen in books and some futuristic movies all workers have been replaced by robots. And in this kind of version of the production, the profits what company get is very high. Robots can work non-stop and when there is no need for production, would the lines shut down. And the company doesn't have then pay even the electric bill. But in this scenario, there would no need for the human workers, and this would mean massive social problems in the society. This scenario is the highest level of capitalism, what man can ever imagine.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
