(thanks to GPT 4-o ; i could not fully recal the scene)
This story is a well-known scene from the film “Blade Runner,” directed by Ridley Scott and released in 1982. The character Tyrell poses this question to the replicant Leon as a test to explore his empathy and moral reasoning. The tortoise metaphorically represents vulnerability and the moral obligation to help those in need.
Peptide programming of supramolecular vinylidene fluoride ferroelectric phases

Ferroelectric structures have spontaneous macroscopic polarization that can be inverted using external electric fields and have potential applications including information storage, energy transduction, ultralow-power nanoelectronics1,2 and biomedical devices3. These functions would benefit from nanoscale control of ferroelectric structure, the ability to switch polarization with lower applied fields (low coercive field) and biocompatibility. Soft ferroelectrics based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)4,5,6 have a thermodynamically unstable ferroelectric phase in the homopolymer, complex semi-crystalline structures, and high coercive fields. Here we report on ferroelectric materials formed by water-soluble molecules containing only six VDF repeating units covalently conjugated to a tetrapeptide, with the propensity to assemble into the β-sheet structures that are ubiquitous in proteins. This led to the discovery of ribbon-shaped ferroelectric supramolecular assemblies that are thermodynamically stable with their long axes parallel to both the preferred hydrogen-bonding direction of β-sheets and the bistable polar axes of VDF hexamers. Relative to a commonly used ferroelectric copolymer, the biomolecular assemblies exhibit a coercive field that is two orders of magnitude lower, as the result of supramolecular dynamics, and a similar level of remnant polarization, despite having a peptide content of 49 wt%. Furthermore, the Curie temperature of the assemblies is about 40 °C higher than that of a copolymer containing a similar amount of VDF. This supramolecular system was created using a biologically inspired strategy that is attractive in terms of sustainability and that could lead to new functions for soft ferroelectrics.
Wow thanks. So this is not about security and technology … it must be about politics and business. Meaning the timing of this move might be related to replacement processors that they are manufacturing.
Engineering Works begin after Architecture fantasy is done. I would let fantasy being done by artificial intelligence but not engineering, not nowadays … since it is not yet safely done by a.i.

i like your comment here, just one reflection :
Thinking is relational, it requires an internal self awareness.
i think it’s like the chicken and the egg : they both come together … one could try to argue that self-awareness comes from thinking in the fashion of : “i think so i am”
Not OpenAI, now they will be ClosedAI :
… complete its planned conversion from a nonprofit (with a for-profit division) to a fully for-profit company.
i agree with this because for me the problem is more vulnerabilities, bloatware and negligence than anything else.
if you want the white paper i have read about this : one is published in nature and other one version of the same thing or very similar in ArXiv :

(not the post itself but the comments i made under my post)
Previously known as Q*, Strawberry was considered a breakthrough within the company last year. Earlier this year, two sources reported Q* demonstrations that could address complex scientific and mathematical questions beyond the reach of current models.
Despite contrary comments in here i say this is important and far reaching. Though i must admit i’m not an expert, i read a few white papers on this stuff : it has real potential.
When you face someone, why does your left and their left flipped from one another ?
Any object we face are flipped : it’s true also where you are in front of a car from instance … it doesn’t happen when you are inside the car or inside yourself.
if you can see this, you can understand the mirror as well.
i agree with you that we are much better than LLMs in the fact we can verify our errors (and we can do much more things LLMs don’t do).
Still i am happy to have access to their vast memory and i know where they fail most of times so i can work with them in a productive way.
The day we provide them (or DNNs) with “Will” is i think when they will become (more) dangerous.
Science cannot say much about what it is to think since it doesn’t understand the brain well enough … and the day we can fully explained it, we will also be able to replicated it on computers.
i feel that many of us, when confronted to this, are doing like Z.B. (president of the Galaxy) in The hitchhiker guide… when he says :
… “whenever I stop and think why did I want to do
something? – how did I work out how to do it? – I get a very strong desire to just to stop thinking about it” …
We don’t want to be surpassed by machines … and this explains the large amount of downvotes
Yes thanks, … in fact, linked from @stuner above, is the explanation detailed simply, rapidly and from proven science why this source of energy is negligible and nearly never working.
Someone should explain why this is ludicrous.
Water flow is only required when the fire (wildfire) is near
.ml was attributed to Mali by internet authority but Lemmy administrators (& developers) at the time choose that one (.ml) because they are Marxist Leninist … and because those domains were not expensive.
Sure you know about this 2nd most important instance at the time that was lemmygrad(dot)ml … ? (it’s a play on words from Leningrad)
