Attosecond Optical Switching enables optical computers to run a million times faster than silicon
"This promises to increase the limiting speed of data processing and information encoding and open a new realm of information technology." -Mohamed Hassan Imagine a home computer operating 1 million times faster than the most expensive hardware on the market. Now imagine that level of computing power as the industry standard. University of Arizona researchers hope to pave the way for that reality using light-based optical computing, a marked improvement from the semiconductor-based transistors that currently run the world. "Semiconductor-based transistors are in all of the electronics that we use today," said Mohammed Hassan, assistant professor of physics and optical sciences....
Dissociating language and thought in large language models: a cognitive perspective
Today's large language models (LLMs) routinely generate coherent, grammatical and seemingly meaningful paragraphs of text. This achievement has led to speculation that these networks are -- or will soon become -- "thinking machines", capable of performing tasks that require abstract knowledge and reasoning. Here, we review the capabilities of LLMs by considering their performance on two different aspects of language use: 'formal linguistic competence', which includes knowledge of rules and patterns of a given language, and 'functional linguistic competence', a host of cognitive abilities required for language understanding and use in the real world. Drawing on evidence from cognitive neuroscience,...
What does GPT-4 think about religion in our exponential times?
We posed these questions to GPT-4: How can we address the often wide gap in perception of reality and adherence to the laws of the physical world when so many people prefer to imagine their afterlife instead of focusing on the life they are living now? What are your thoughts on the viability of religion to provide people guidance during exponential times such as we are in now? Answers: Addressing the gap in perception of reality and adherence to the laws of the physical world requires a multifaceted approach that takes into account the diverse motivations and beliefs that...
March 15th - Ides of March -Multiversal Stories
GPT-4 unlocks Multiversal Stories The GPT 3.5 response was not bad. We thought as a tribute to 2023 Oscar winner "Everything, Everywhere, All at once", we would explore using AI to generate multiversal possibilities and new stories through AI generated responses that reflect different outcomes manifested manifests across each universe at pivotal events. Click on the ten different universes to ask their Julius Caesar how he might answer this important question: K1 K3 K5 K7 K9 K11 K42 K14 K106 K616
March 15th - Ides of March
GPT 3.5 As an AI language model, I cannot predict with certainty what Julius Caesar would have said on a specific day, but I can provide some historical context and speculate based on his personality and behavior. Assuming you are referring to March 15th, historically known as the Ides of March, this was the day in 44 BC when Julius Caesar was assassinated in Rome by a group of senators led by Marcus Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. In William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," Caesar is famously warned by a soothsayer to "beware the Ides of March." Caesar responds with...
