Why AI should forget things?


Memory is like an attic. If there is lots of stuff that makes it slow and if the attic is full of stuff, that means the owner must check much more merchandise than in a clean attic. When people are cleaning their attics and carrying unnecessary merchandise away. 

That makes it easier to use that room. People forget things because that makes their memory effective. If there are left only things. that people need that makes the memory effective.  And one reason for removing things from memory is that we don't use them. In this text system, the brain and computers follow the same rule. They forget because their memory is not unlimited.

Why do we forget? Forgetting things makes our memory more effective because there are not so many memories. Memory is an impressive thing, but even human memory is not unlimited. When the system stores something in memory, it must reserve one memory unit for each memory. And when the system wants to find something in memory, that requires that it must check every memory unit. The memories of computers and the human brain operate the same way. They store memories in a network structure. That memory does not have unlimited capacity. 

So, if we don't use some memories, we should not store them. If the system erases memories that it doesn't use, that releases those memory units for new memories. Memory is like a network of cells that form a network and reconnect those cells in a morphing neural network makes possible to reshape images and memory entireties. 

When artificial intelligence erases some memories, it does the same thing that regular computer users do every spring. It cleans its memory from unnecessary data, which makes it faster. The algorithm determines how often a user or program must open a certain file. If the file is not open, or it has no other connections with used software, that means the system erases that file. That kind of thing makes the AI more effective.

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,
