The Promethean Gambit: 5 Hidden Ways AI Could Make Global Crises Worse There is a powerful and pervasive sense of optimism that artificial intelligence holds the key to solving humanity's greatest challenges. From modeling climate change and discovering new medicines to optimizing global food supplies, AI is presented as the ultimate tool for progress. But what if these powerful tools have hidden, counter-intuitive side effects that could make things worse? What if the very logic that makes AI so effective in narrow domains creates catastrophic fragility when applied to the complex systems of the real world? A new strategic report, "AI for Global Problem Solving," explores this very "Promethean Gambit"—humanity's high-stakes wager that we can manage a tool of immense power for both progress and destruction. The report frames AI as a modern "Promethean fire" and argues that without a new framework for wisdom and foresight, our best-intentioned solut...

The potential and perils of a blockchain-based temporal currency system. If in the future the only thing of true value is time itself describe applications of Einstein's theory of relativity, such as time dilation, that may be used as part of a temporal trading strategy. It's important to note that time dilation effects predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity are very small for typical trading applications. However, there are some theoretical possibilities for using these effects in a temporal trading strategy. One potential application of time dilation is in high-frequency trading, where even small disparities in timing can lead to significant advantages in the market. In particular, if a trader were able to move a clock to a location with a stronger gravitational field, time would appear to run slower for that clock relative to clocks in weaker gravitational fields. This effect is known as gravitational time dilation and is a prediction of Einstein's theory of ge...

 The phenomena of the opportunistic synchronization of malevolent actors during times of spontaneous social unrest can amplify small regional strife into nationwide disruption and violence. Opportunistic synchronization refers to the phenomenon where malevolent actors, such as criminals or extremist groups, take advantage of times of social unrest to further their own agendas. This can include looting, vandalism, and violence, which can quickly escalate and spread if left unchecked. During times of spontaneous social unrest, emotions run high, and there is often a breakdown in law and order. This can create an environment where criminal and extremist groups can operate with relative impunity, as law enforcement resources are stretched thin and overwhelmed. Furthermore, the amplifying effect of social media and other communication tools can allow these malevolent actors to coordinate their actions on a larger scale and with greater efficiency than ever before. This can turn small re...

Virtual particles interacting in chaotic, web-like, interconnected Feynman diagrams. The concept of virtual particles in the quantum foam is a fundamental aspect of quantum field theory. In this theory, particles are viewed as excitations of their corresponding fields, and virtual particles are fluctuations in these fields that can temporarily appear and disappear. These virtual particles can interact with each other, creating complex Feynman diagrams that describe the probabilities of different particle interactions. The idea of virtual particles interacting in a chaotic web-like complex interconnected Feynman diagrams is a useful visualization of these interactions. In this picture, virtual particles are represented as nodes in a network, with lines connecting them representing the interactions between the particles. The geometry of this network can be distorted by the presence of a singularity, which can affect the propagation of the particles through the network. The idea of this n...

Anarchic network coordination without centralised control. An anarchic network is a network of nodes that are not centrally controlled. Instead, the nodes coordinate their activities through a process of decentralized control. This can be achieved using graph theory and state machines to generate and process events and signals. Graph theory is a mathematical tool that can be used to model the relationships between nodes in a network. In an anarchic network, the nodes are represented by vertices in a graph, and the relationships between the nodes are represented by edges. The edges can be weighted to represent the strength of the relationship between two nodes. State machines are a way of modeling the behavior of a system. A state machine has a finite number of states, and it can transition from one state to another in response to events. In an anarchic network, the nodes can be modeled as state machines. The state machines can be used to coordinate the activities of the nodes by genera...

  The construction of the Tower of Béla Figure 1. The Tower of Béla - In homage to Bela Julesz b y Daniel Scott Matthews This article requires the use of Red-Blue(Cyan) 3D, Anaglyph glasses. All artwork produced on an Intel based desktop PC running the LinuxMint (Debian) operating system, including the GIMP , Inkscape , G’MIC and Blender software packages, all of which are free open source software (FOSS).  Figure 2. The minimal image. What is the minimal image? Two pixels with differentially encoded values (two bits) on a field of not image (ten bits) with a minimum of 3 states required (ternary), however if we ignore the not-image we need only two bits in a binary system, but if we wish to encode depth where are we going to store that information in the visual signal? In the anaglyph the depth of an area of the image (smallest recognisable shape) is encoded as a displacement of that shape’s representation in one channel compared to the others. Red is displaced relative ...
