The Next SMARTR Step in a Quantum AI Leap to both engage and employ and deploy either trailing opposition or lagging competition, is on the one hand, a call to alms and downpayments to be made to ensure that future programming and projects released and unleashed are guaranteed to remain mutually advantageous and positively reinforcing of greater benefit to all, or to an extreme in the other adverse direction, a remote clarion call to arms to novel forces and surreal sources of an almighty disposition guaranteed to always succeed and conquer totally unaware and catastrophically unprepared foe and frenemy alike.

And either of those can be easily upstaged by virtue of a simple head honcho powwow to further explore and exploit future options and derivative opportunities before anything is either totally won or AWEsomely lost.

That is all very well, and one can certainly appreciate the overwhelming advantage delivered to gifted parties in any sphere or environment where secrecy/the lack of general knowledge of particularly peculiar and vital information for intelligence is engaged/employed and deployed in order that something already recognised as groundbreaking and Earth shattering, … able to be both extremely disruptive and destructive and almightily creative and constructively innovative …. is not more widely made known or even just leaked to a small band of others … a chosen few.

Such however is the amongst the least of one’s present future problems, for much more of something fundamentally similar in structure but radically different in nature, and which isn’t yet recognised and shared as an internetworking thing to be fully aware and/or extremely wary of, is surely of infinitely greater concern.

You struggle and do battle with all the info and intel that you know you already have and know be out there somewhere else with someone else and held securely under encryption lock and key, whilst that which really matters is that which is shortly to be shared is only just ever revealed for the first time/is never before known anywhere.

It is not as if you were not adequately forewarned to be forearmed against it to try and enable yourselves to cope with it, though, is it? Now you have to deal with it and make deals with it in order that it doesn’t attack and destroy all that it surveys and all that you portray and hold dear …… which is certainly surely the wisest and simplest of all or any available options.

“Now what is the message there? The message is that there are no “knowns.” There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that’s basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

It sounds like a riddle. It isn’t a riddle. It is a very serious, important matter.

There’s another way to phrase that and that is that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. It is basically saying the same thing in a different way. Simply because you do not have evidence that something exists does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn’t exist. And yet almost always, when we make our threat assessments, when we look at the world, we end up basing it on the first two pieces of that puzzle, rather than all three.” …. US Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, NATO HQ, Brussels 6 June 2002

Humanity though may have an abiding catastrophic systemic problem with the wisest and simplest of all or any available options if something Einstein and Alexandre Dumas are reported to have said is to be believed ……. “Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not yet completely sure about the universe.” and “Une chose qui m’humilie profondément est de voir que le génie humain a des limites, quand la bêtise humaine n’en a pas.” which can be translated as “One thing that humbles me deeply is to see that human genius has its limits while human stupidity does not.” ……. so be prepared for some really strange shenanigans and outrageous ructions should wisdom take a dumb seat in the stands to witness madness and mayhem at play.

Virtual WMD Developments … Well, that Quantum Leap is One Small Step for AI and IT

The Google engineers say they also developed other PoCs with different properties that they aren’t releasing. One, they claim, is capable of leaking data at a rate of 8kB/s, though that accelerated pace comes at the cost of diminished stability…

‘Tis an interesting cost/benefit analysis to ponder whenever the accelerated pace of those ones also deliver increasingly excessive volatility in a commanding control led environment. It is though no wonder they wouldn’t be releasing those Proofs of Concept, for it’s a veritable flash crash/fast cash cow of an Easter egg which everyone would be wanting to exercise and milk/bilk, and with more that just a chosen few determined to try and corner the market in order to render to them an extraordinary overwhelming exclusive positive advantage.

I thought Google weren’t into the Universal/Global Arms Race Market and yet here they are with something quite AWEsome …. and more than just alien in form for conventional defence and traditional military forces and sources to be supplied with in order not to be totally disengaged and helpless against future novel activities such as ACTive Abiding Astute Zer0day Hostilities against Systems Deaf Dumb and Blind and Brain Dead to Radical Fundamental Base Change.

Now ….. should that not have been the case that Google engineers discovered, then it sure as hell is one already in a development with/for A.N.Others.

🙂 Money well spent indeed …. 🙂 whenever one knows into whose private and personal accounts to lodge it.

Not knowing that creates more colossal and complex catastrophic problems made impossible to resolve without such a simple action.

A new Artificial Intelligence agency is meanwhile set to develop autonomous weapons systems.

Stressing the importance of data in future conflicts, a senior Whitehall source said: “What’s certain is that the future will be about cyber, space, AI.”

An MoD spokesman said: “As threats change our Armed Forces must change and they are being redesigned to confront future threats, not re-fight old wars. The Armed Forces will be fully staffed and equipped to confront those threats. ………. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/03/12/80bn-equipment-revealed-defence-review-tanks-jets-drones-hovering/

How very odd then that so much is being spent/wasted on a current physical arms re-fit to re-fight old wars style. It just doesn’t make common sense, although that is hardly surprising to the many who listen to all that is shared for media to report as news as opposed to entertainment.

‘Tis a common human failing that, … a complete lack of future common sense …. and a systemic vulnerability to exploit and export and enjoy by virtue of excessive enrichment.

Re: In other news…

It’s a relatively small number of people that fully understand the nature of these vulnerabilities and have the ability to investigate and mitigate them. …. Warm Braw

And methinks, Warm Braw, having more fully understood the nature of such vulnerabilities more than just a relatively small number of those folk would be successfully tempted to take a well cloaked walk on the wild, dark side and make a quiet fortune or two or three ….

After all, such is surely to be certainly expected for that would be only human of them when engaged in business for profit, you know, extra money for nothing tangible, an apparent reward for really just knowing what needs to be done …. and which ideally cannot be done by anyone else. That can prove extremely lucrative.

Spain and mainland Europe are not the only places to have an abundance of arrogant and ignorant tools being fed lines for media to report as if gospel from a Don Quixote type wannabe tilting at windmills …… Boris Johnson will not grant a second Scottish independence referendum ……. more’s the pity.

Less is certainly more is such particular and peculiar cases. Delusions of power and grandeur are so yesterday man.

There is Only One Holistic System of Systems … Networking AI Colossus

Hi, HildyJ …… and Welcome to another world.

To imagine that any State assembly/Parliamentary body/Presidential executive/national collective anywhere, East or West, is responsible for the news that supposedly advises us of want we are to believe in and to do, with the serial infliction of pain and suffering or reward and pleasure on vast swathes of others, as surely the news and media certainly currently does, is something to consider is much more a perverse convenience rather than identifying the actual inescapable factual reality.

The latter in truth, and actual factual augmented virtual reality, may very well be stated in this mightily overlooked and inconveniently prescient monologue ‽ . ……… “The World is a Corporation” (Network, 1976)

No matter which though you might conclude to be the more acceptable and easiest to believe the more likely and possible and therefore probable, it will have just a few beings arranged as around a round table with a board of governors/systems drivers with the brightest and smartest of directors leading by virtue of their commanding contributions ensuring continuing stealthy supremacy of both their invisibly cloaked, renegade rogue and controlling non-state actor future activities with CHAOS.

And all here on El Reg should already be well aware of what CHAOS certainly is. It has often been freely shared to keep y’all abreast and au fait with virtual developments so that ignorance is not rendered your only available guide to future shenanigans/upcoming COSMIC events.

Test yourself here. Fill out what you think the following two expand into. The correct answers are easy enough to find, and you can have a lot of fun being silly and filling in your view. Take care though, because that can easily tell those who would be interested to know, a great deal more about you than maybe you would like them to possess …

CHAOS …….
COSMIC …….
