The AI is an excellent tool for cyber- and propaganda operations.

If we want to use some system, we must know its good and bad things. And only complete knowledge of the system makes it safe. We must realize that all tools we create have positive and negative ways to use. So everything is not black and white. When people are concerned about their privacy, the argument against them is that for example, the use of faked identities can help to search for pedophiles and drug dealers. 

In the same way, privacy protection helps other criminals hide. But the same tools are effective in the hands of the people like Kim Jong-Un. The user of the system determines what is the purpose of the system. When people are concerned about AI and their privacy, we must notice that the same people are not worried about things like firearms. 

Firearms protect their homes, but for some reason, the people's privacy must be so strong, that things like Mafia can use it as a shield against authorities. In the same way, Chinese and North Korean governments create AI that can be used as a surveillance tool for governments. The same tools that are used to create animations can used to create fake information. The same systems that are used to track pedophiles can be used to track opposition.  When AI makes many good things, we must realize that AI is not only a good thing. 


The AI is also a looming actor in the hands of bad actors. The bad actors can use AI to create cyber attacks and propaganda tools. Generative AI is one of the tools that can give tools for advanced cyber attacks in the hands of the actors who have not advanced technical and programming skills. The opposite argument is generative AI can also create tools that can fight against malicious software. Another problem is that AI is a "perfect tool". It can see if a person lies just following the body language.

And the AI is an ultimate tool for searching and following things like stock markets. Cyber attacks against those AIs can turn them against their users. In refined attack modes, the attacker tries to corrupt the AI, like trying to involve code that will put the lie detector off, when it sees some mark. If the attacker just destroys the AI, that thing is visible. 

Generative AI makes it possible to create complicated tools that can manipulate the data, that AI gives. In some models, attackers will use the AI that observes stock marketing to introduce certain companies better than they are. So AI drives money to those companies. A couple of years ago this type of attack would have been impossible.

But today generative AI makes it possible to create complicated and refined tools. That allows the system to make data injection into the files. That the AI uses. This is the reason, why the system must observe size and writing day all the time. The easiest way to corrupt the AI is simply to change some files from its code. And that's why those system's security must guaranteed. 


Generative AI can create ultrarealistic animations that bad actors can use as propaganda tools. That misinformation is hard, or almost impossible to separate from authentic images. 


Another thing is that bad actors can use AI to create false information. The AI is an excellent propaganda tool. And bad actors can use AI-based tools to create dis- and misinformation like fake film material. The AI can create faked films with photorealistic images like animations. And that kind of tool makes it possible to create photorealistic animation, there is used AI-created images. 

Another problem is AI-created images. Those images make it possible to create photo- or ultrarealistic animations. And those animations can used as propaganda tools. The AI can create realistic-looking films. And it can manipulate that character's voice and way of talking so that it looks like some real person. 

Ultrarealistic animations can used to destroy people's reputations. This kind of system can also manipulate truth as much as its users want. Those systems are excellent tools for creating disinformation. And if somebody wants to deliver disinformation they need that disinformation to deliver. Ultrarealistic animations can used in many things. In that kind of technology, news reporters can interview people, who are already dead.

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,
