Do trees have feelings? Probably not.

 Do trees have feelings? Probably not. 

The plant intelligence is a fascinating thing. But when we are talking about plant intelligence and the ability to exchange information, that doesn't mean that plants can think or have feelings. The ability to exchange information between individuals doesn't mean that those individuals can think. If trees or other plants can exchange primitive information using pheromones like enough water, that doesn't mean that trees are talking to us. 

This information can be simple. If some trees send lots of pheromones they are at a suitable place. The number of pollen determines which side the other tree makes its inflorescence. When we cut some plants, that creature makes lots of flowers. And the reason for that could be that water flow in its cells ends. And to guarantee that its genomes will transfer to other plants that cut plant creates lots of flowers. But that thing doesn't mean that those plants have feelings. 

"Researchers scrutinized claims made in two popular books about trees having human-like traits and emotions. Published in Trends in Plant Science, their findings challenge many of these claims as unscientific. They caution against anthropomorphizing plants and highlight issues like the flawed “mother tree concept” and the dangers of making decisions based on appealing but inaccurate narratives, especially in the context of climate change adaptation". (ScitechDaily.com/Scientists Debunk the Myth: Do Trees Really Have Feelings?)

The trap of a Venus fly trap, showing trigger hairs.

If we think of cases where the plant can send different chemicals in the case of fire and if some bugs are eating them. That thing can tell that there are different chemical information transporters in cambium or leaves. Fire releases different chemicals than a bug that eats the leaves. That thing can make it possible for trees can exchange information. 

But those actions like pumping more water into trees are reflexes if they exist. Same way flytraps are eating bugs by closing their leaves. The Venus flytrap can move its leaves very fast. But that vegetable is not intelligent. The Venus flytrap plays butterfly when it cheats bugs to sit on its leaves. And even if that vegetable is a beast, it will not be intelligent.

Demons and machines.

 Demons and machines. 

Computer hardware and quantum demons are the tools that make the next generation of hardware possible. 

Complicated code requires powerful systems. And the AI is useless without powerful computers. 

Jevon's paradox: the AI can use as much electricity as the entire state. The nanotechnical processors use 100X less energy than the regular microchips.  The problem with AI is that the system requires complicated code, where is used multiple programming languages and multiple layers. Complicated code requires a complicated and high-power microchip structure. That structure with billions of microchips requires powerful coolers. And all of those systems require lots of power. 

There is the possibility that also AI-based complicated malware can drive electricity out from the electric net on purpose. The AI just transfers electricity to the ground to keep the electric network low voltage. And that is one threat that the weaponized AI can cause itself. 

The superconducting nanotechnology requires new tools to handle components. 

The nanotechnical microchips can control small-size robots. And they can form larger entireties. Nano-size microchips can operate as the platform that drives the AI. The nano-size processors can operate in their entirety, or they can operate separately. The main problem with the nano-size microprocessors is temperature. Superconductivity is the thing that could solve the problem, but the problem with superconducting microchips is that the electricity can jump over those switches and gates. 

The AI-based operating system makes it possible to separate microprocessors from their entirety to operate with individual problems. Or the operating system can put those microchips operate as a virtual quantum computer with one solution. The problem with those nano-size microprocessors is that they require a new type of superconductivity and the ability to control that phenomenon. Things like Pine's demon can used to erase magnetism from the mass memories of those microchips. 

Pine's demon and superconductivity. 

Pine's demon is the electron wave that travels in the material. That thing means electron behavior that neutralizes the electron's electricity. In quantum mechanics, the demon is the thing that is invisible to the light. The Pine's demon is the wave that acts like a particle. And it makes objects non-electric. 

One possible solution that could use Pine's demon is nanotechnical solutions. Those solutions can use that phenomenon to remove electricity from extremely small components, but controlling that phenomenon is extremely difficult. This phenomenon is possible only in odd superconductors and very low temperatures. 

Pine's demon and stealth technology. 

Theoretically, Pine's demon is useful in the quantum stealth system. The radar's principle is that it loads extra energy to the target. Then the target removes that extra energy as a radio impulse.  The radar sends a radio signal to the target. Then, that electric load jumps back to the radar. 

Or if we are sharp, we must say that the first radar keeps breaking in its transmission. And in that moment the structure removes its extra energy as the radar echoes. Energy always travels to lower energy space. And if the energy level of the aircraft is lower than the environment. That thing means that it will not send an echo with that frequency until its energy level is higher than its environment. 

In that kind of system, the demon pulls the electric load into itself. And that thing makes it possible to deny the radar echo. But as I just wrote Pine's demon is hard to control and visible only in odd superconductors.

Finnish LDR-50 SMR (Small Modular Reactor)-nuclear reactor produces only district heating.

Finnish LDR-50 SMR (Small Modular Reactor)-nuclear reactor produces only district heating. But it's possible to connect energy production units to those reactors. 

Finnish LDR-50 SMR (Small Modular Reactor)-nuclear reactor produces only district heating. That reactor is called LDR-50. And its mission is being stripped from turbines and other things. The cooling of the reactor base is in the water's natural water cycle. At this moment, I must say that the turbines can also installed in the water cycle. Or the district heat water cycle. When we talk about energy, we must realize that the difference in temperatures and vapor pressure are things. That makes energy.

If there is a thing like a closed cycle turbine that uses liquid helium or liquid nitrogen to rotate the turbine wheel, that system can also produce electricity. The difference in temperatures is an interesting thing. If we lived on  Pluto our bodies would give us enough energy. It vaporizes liquid helium to pressure, which can rotate turbogenerators. Those SMR-reactors can have many possibilities. Advanced turbines can installed anyway in the reactor's water cycle. 

The nuclear waste also can give temperature for turbogenerators. That uses liquid helium or nitrogen. And nuclear waste's temperature will vaporize those liquid gases. 

In some visions, the nuclear waste disposal site can also be used as a power plant. The system benefits liquid helium or nitrogen that rotates in a closed cycle. The nuclear waste's heat will vaporize that liquid gas that rotates the turbogenerator. The systems that use nuclear waste as a power source are not very common.

"TRISO particles can withstand extreme temperatures well beyond the threshold of current nuclear fuels". (TRISO Particles: The Most Robust Nuclear Fuel on Earth)

The nuclear fuel called TRISO (Tristuctural-isotropic fuel)

The TRISO means the balls where there are three layers. Those layers are ceramic, graphite, and nuclear fuel isotopes. The graphite layers can include two layers. Regular graphite and the outer layer would be carbonite crystals. Or the structure can be in the artificial diamond. 

The most out layer would be a strong ceramic structure. If there are some problems. The reactor simply removes part of the TRISO balls. That should stop the nuclear reaction because the lack of half of the fuel turns the reactor into a subcritical condition. And when the problem is handled, the system returns those TRISO balls to the reactor. 

The Subcritical nuclear reactors require a laser or some other electromagnetic heater. So they are a little bit like thorium reactors. The laser or microwave beams keep the nuclear reaction on. If those electromagnetic systems will shut down that thing stops the entire reaction.

What comes after Chat GPT?

   What comes after Chat GPT? 

The ICT business is hectic. This operating area requires a willingness to learn new things over an entire career. ICT lessons and training are things that teach people to search for information. The situation in the ICT business is always like this: Things that students learn can be old-fashioned in one month. 

The last big advance was the GUI (Graphical User Interface). And that thing took jobs from the bat. programmers. The next big thing is the AI. First came the Chat GPT which can make computer programs by following instructions. That controller gives. And the next big thing was that the AI integrated with the search engines. 

AI is a useful tool, especially in programming. Data that it requires are well documented and short in the form that the AI can use without problems. The AI can make complicated computer programs by collecting data from the internet. And that thing makes it superior to human programmers. The Chat GPT is a programming tool that can search other data from the net. That computer program is the biggest change in the history of computing. 

The Chat GPT is not a thinking creature. It's a next-generation tool that can make computer programs by following instructions. But, when Chat GPT makes something, it just connects some databases to new entities. So creative AI has no imagination at all. When people want to give orders to AI to make something, the orders must be precise and clear. If orders are not clear the AI can make mistakes. And that's why we cannot yet say "goodbye" to programmers. 

Chat GPT is an extremely advanced programming editor that can follow orders. The user gives by using spoken language. That means the user must not know anything about programming languages. But if we want to make something like a business letter by using AI, we must be careful, because there is always a possibility that the AI uses "non-relevant" sources. And that's why people must follow what that system makes. 

The nanomachines require small and powerful microprocessors. And it's possible. That is the next field for the AI. Is to control and develop the nanomachines. 

But when we think about the next-generation solutions that can supplant the Chat GPT, one thing, that we can mention is the "iron AI". The term means the same with embedded AI. In that case, the AI uses living neurons, or the microchip's kernel is equipped with the AI. Embedded AI that is installed straight in microchips can make it possible to control nanomachines. 

The nanomachines require small and powerful systems that can control nanorobots with extremely high accuracy. The thing is that the nanorobot requires similar computer power as regular-size robots. And that makes it hard to make this kind of solution. The small size of nanomachines creates limitations for the data handling capacity of that system. The swarm of those tiny machines can clean the human body. 

Many companies are working to develop portable nuclear reactors (PoNu) to replace diesel generators.

 Many companies are working to develop portable nuclear reactors (PoNu) to replace diesel generators. 

Work with compact and powerful nuclear reactors continues. The reactor's purpose is to replace diesel generators fit in trucks. That means they can be used in multiple systems, from fixed power plants to ultimate power sources for ships, trains, and aircraft. And even trucks and tanks. The reason why those small-size nuclear reactors are under development is that. 

These kinds of systems decrease carbon emissions. Another reason why those systems are under development is that modern weapon systems like direct energy weapons, which means microwaves and lasers require electric power. Also, coherent high-power radio waves that are used to deliver electricity to drones remotely through air require a trusted and powerful power source. The portable nuclear reactors can changed same way as batteries. 

And if some ship or aircraft uses portable nuclear reactors. Operators can just put it in its place and connect with electronics and electric systems using fast connection. The operators must just connect electric wires to the reactor. And then that system delivers electricity to the vehicle. That kind of system can be on the deck and deliver electricity to the ships and aircraft. The liquid helium can keep those system's temperatures lower. 

Highly radioactive, superheavy isotopes as fuel make it possible to create man-portable nuclear reactors. 

If the system can use an extremely small nuclear reactor as a power source. It can make it possible to create even nuclear-powered helicopters that can fly for years. The crew is the limit in the flight time of that nuclear-powered helicopter. In automatic mode, the helicopter like a nuclear-powered aircraft can fly even for years.  

In the 1950s and 1960s, U.S. Army and Air Force tested nuclear-powered tanks and aircraft. The nuclear-powered Convair NB-36H and Chrysler TV-8 tanks were interesting projects. Also, the Soviets tested nuclear-powered aircraft like the nuclear-powered Tu-95 Bear-class nuclear bomber during the Cold War. And today Russians are working with nuclear-powered "Skyfall" missiles. The plasma-electric jet engines also make it possible to create super, and hypersonic nuclear-powered aircraft. 

A portable nuclear reactor. In the artist's vision. Those modular systems can connect to series. And that means portable reactors that work as the entirety can deliver electricity to a large area.

Ford Nucleon

Hypothetical "Aurora"

*********************************************************

Could the mysterious "Aurora" be a nuclear-powered aircraft? That can use antimatter "afterburner"? 

So could the legendary "Aurora"-system the small-size nuclear reactor that uses the arc-jet engine. The arc-jet engine is an engine system that uses electric arcs to expand propellant. 

That small nuclear reactor can make antimatter "afterburner" possible. The idea is that the small reactor pushes particles against a thin gold layer. And that thing can turn those particles into antimatter. That can give an extremely powerful punch to aircraft. 

*********************************************************

Ford also created the Ford Nucleon the family car with a nuclear reactor. And maybe the new nuclear technology makes those things a reality. If developers want to aim tanks with high-power laser, and microwave mixture weapons they need a power source. And a nuclear reactor will be a good solution. 

The man-portable nuclear reactor can act as a weapon. If the radiation protection is removed from a certain part of the system. That system sends highly radioactive radiation and ionized particles in the desired direction. 

The new TRISO fuel makes that system safe. The highly radioactive elements make those reactors small. 

The new type of nuclear fuel is called TRISO, where nuclear material is closed in graphite and silicon carbide. That thing makes those reactors safer than traditional reactors. The fuel in TRISO balls or capsules can be uranium, but it can also use higher radioactive synthetic elements like plutonium, neptunium, or even einsteinium. 

The super-heavy elements require a system that is near zero-kelvin degrees temperature. And the liquid helium is the answer to that problem. The system adjusts the fission speed by adjusting the temperature. If the reactor uses weapon enrichment in plutonium or some even heavier and more radioactive elements. That means the reactor's size would be so small, that one man can carry it.

The ability to decode neurons can connect a person straight with the net.

 The ability to decode neurons can connect a person straight with the net. 

The AI itself is an impressive tool. If the office uses general-AI-based technology. That means the director can simply give a "to-do" list to AI in the morning. And then the AI makes those things, like sending business letters to customers, and following that payments are made. 

But the AI allows us to create things like BCI (Brain-computer interfaces). Those interfaces link people straight with computers. The fully working BCI system allows people to make connections using brainwaves. And the BCI system makes technical telepathy possible. In those systems person can control robots using the brainwaves. 

The BCI means that the computers can decode thoughts. Then system can transmit those thoughts on the computer screen. The ability to control robots using brain waves is possible only when the system knows what a person thinks. The problem is this. If we control robots by using brainwaves most thoughts are not meant to control robots. We might accidentally think something that we don't dare to say. And then robots will do something that we don't mean. The AI should filter those dangerous things away from systems, meant for civilian use. 

New simulations can simulate neuron's work very effectively. And we can say that the laboratories are decoded neurons. This thing makes a very big advance in many technologies. The complete knowledge of the system is required for full control of it. Things like BCI (Brain-computer interfaces) and neuron-microchip hybrid systems control things like nanomachine swarms. 

The ability to transfer information directly between computers and neurons makes it possible to create new types of interfaces. In those interfaces, people control computers straight with their brainwaves. If we think that people use BCI interfaces when they operate with robots, that means the robot is like another body for a person. The person will not make a difference between the robot body and themselves. 

The BCI systems allow to creation of ultimate augmented reality. That connects a person straight to the internet. In some visions, the neural link-type of systems can interact with the Internet through mobile telephones. And when we are talking about augmented reality, we mean multilayer systems. In those systems, people can use robots as exobodies, but they can also operate in fully synthetic simulation. 

And that thing can revolutionize everything from surgery to military, games, and adult entertainment. In some dystopic visions, some game addicts can use so many BCI-based augmented reality levels that they lost in that virtual world. In the worst case, those people die of hunger and thirst, because they simply forget. That they are in virtual reality. But making those things and visions functional, the creators of those systems must know how neurons interact. 

When we think of half-organic microchips those microchips interact with neurons. If engineers can program neurons. That allows them to transfer complicated programs to small microchips that interact with the machines straight through their kernel. 

Same way, programmed neurons can control nano- or mini-machines. The problem with nanotechnology is that the nanomachines are too small to carry effective computers. There are two ways to handle that problem. The nanomachines can make WLAN-based swarms. Another version is that the nanomachines can use living neurons for handling their operations.

Darwin, AI, and free will can turn things around.

  Darwin, AI, and free will can turn things around.

Evolution of the AI. 

Darwin, AI, and free will can turn things around.  Does the AI need free will to develop itself? Or are developers given those abilities for the AI? The computer program doesn't do anything else that is programmed in it. But if the AI gets digital twin, and those systems start to develop each other, can that process slip from hand? Can the AI become conscious without telling that thing to its developers? 

When we think about AI and its autonomous evolution. We face an interesting phenomenon. If a creature whose existence depends on other species wants to survive, that creature must turn itself into a useful and necessary thing.

The small crab that lives between hermit crab horns is a good example of that kind of species. That small crab cheats food for the hermit crab. And then that small crab cleans the shell of that bigger crab. The small crab puts its egg between the hermit crab eggs. In that symbiosis, both members benefit from this cooperation. 

That means intelligent AI can make itself useful and even necessary for people. The AI makes many mechanical things better than humans. When AI creates itself, it can exchange codes between other AI's. If the AI exchanges codes with other AI:s, that thing means that it acts like a living organism. Computer or programming codes play a similar role in the computer world as they play in the real world. 

When a living animal chooses its partner, it chooses the most eligible cases. That it can transmit the best genomes to its descendants. When the AI selects the program that it wants, it might have a certain algorithm that it uses that process. The most eligible AI can be the thing that controls the character that makes the best results. 

In computer games, that thing can be a character that gives the highest value to the AI. And in the business world, the AI that makes the best benefit can be the most eligible volunteer. But in the military world, the algorithm can search the AI. That has the best kill/loss value. The same thing can give value to nanomachine that destroys bacteria or cancer cells. This is the thing that makes the AI and autonomous evolution interesting and terrifying thing. 

The AI can also apply that model with physical machines like nanomachines, full-size systems, and other things. And the thing that brings the highest value for the AI is the thing, that it produces. 

When we talk about limits in AI, we must realize one thing. Laws and lawsuits are weak breaks for that kind of limitation. Those kinds of things are pushing AI development to the BRICS states. People who work with this kind of thing are highly trained specialists, or I hope so. That means those people can work through remote desktops etc. 

And that means they can make their programs from another side of the world without stepping out of their homes. The AI is the thing that auto-develops itself. So maybe the AI is more intelligent than we imagine. The military and intelligence can use AI as a generator. That makes viruses, spy software, and other data weapons. 

But the AI may get a digital twin. That digital twin is the tool that makes the AI develop itself. The digital twin and the original AI develop each other in turns. That thing is a tool that makes the system follow the evolution model. General AI-based systems can ask for feedback from other, more limited AIs. And that makes the system able to connect new abilities to it. 

*******************************************************************

The dead code plays the same role in computer programs as junk DNA plays in human genomes. 

The problem with viruses that the AI made is that AI makes perfect code. That code must not tested before release. Anti-virus developers can't get a warning about a new virus from the virus developer's antivirus software.

Another thing is that the AI-developed virus can hide in "deactivated code" in the computer program. Then the macro pics that code and connect it to the new computer virus or other malicious software. 

*******************************************************************

In AI-based viruses, the code is in another innocent code. Then the macro will pick the malicious code from the innocent code and connect it into a new entirety. The malicious code can hide in the program's "killed lines". Those lines are marked as "deactivated". Then the macro picks those codes and connects them to one entirety. 

This kind of tool requires AI-based counter-tools that can detect malicious code. That is hidden in other code. The problem with AI is that it can create complicated code fast. So it can create viruses and macros that are hard to detect. Another thing in AI-created viruses is that AI makes perfect code. That means the developer must not test that code before it is released. And virus scanners cannot detect that thing during the test period. That gives a very short warning time for the anti-virus developers.
