The honor for René Descartes: The AI Descartés

René Descartes was a 17th-century Fench philosopher. The reason why that man is described as the "father of philosophy behind artificial intelligence" is the famous quote "Cogito Ergo Sum", "I think, therefore I am". And in that moment Descartes described the idea of intelligence and existence. If a creature can think that creature exists. 

So intelligence is not depending on the origin of the thinker. Intelligence doesn't mean that a thinker is even organic. Computers can think like humans. And that means if the machine thinks like a human, it's a general AI that can learn new things like humans or faster than humans. 

And that thing makes it intelligent. But even if the AI turns more intelligent than humans, would that thing turn against humans? Same way when we ask questions like is Albert Einstein more dangerous than the average person because he created the Theory of relativity? The fact is that if Einstein doesn't have the tools to be dangerous he is not dangerous at all. Or that man is same way dangerous as all other people. 


"AI-Descartes, an AI scientist developed by researchers at IBM Research, Samsung AI, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, has reproduced key parts of Nobel Prize-winning work, including Langmuir’s gas behavior equations and Kepler’s third law of planetary motion. Supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the AI system utilizes symbolic regression to find equations fitting data, and its most distinctive feature is its logical reasoning ability". (ScitechDaily.com/AI-Descartes: A Scientific Renaissance in the World of Artificial Intelligence)


"This enables AI-Descartes to determine which equations best fit with background scientific theory. The system is particularly effective with noisy, real-world data and small data sets. The team is working on creating new datasets and training computers to read scientific papers and construct background theories to refine and expand the system’s capabilities".(ScitechDaily.com/AI-Descartes: A Scientific Renaissance in the World of Artificial Intelligence)

The thing is that the AI-Descartes is neutral. That computer program has no emotional connections with traditions. The AI can search things and make so-called boring works like search differences in the brightness of the stars.  And that thing means the Renaissance for science and technology. We might think that AI is always a bad tool. We can search how many errors that tool makes. But another thing is this: the user of the AI describes what the AI can and what it must not do. 

There is always the possibility that somebody uses the AI as a cheating tool. Some students can put AI to make their thesis. But that thing democratizes cheating. The people who would cheat lecturers and teachers by introducing a thesis that somebody else made would do that thing anyway. AI can make good-looking things. 

But if those students use the AI they don't need relationships. And maybe we can say that this thing democratizes this kind of thing. But when we talk about cheating and crimes that is the so-called free will philosophy. 

People who select that route should know that these kinds will someday hit back. When I went to university at a young age. One of my teachers asked: would I want to learn something? Or would I want just want to get good grades? That question means that we must have certain skills for some grades.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
