ok so the buying frenzy has started. We will end up with a new google basically monopolizing the internet. Only in this case it is much worse. M&As are evil.

I don't agree. The code is much more than the spec. In fact, the typical project code is 90% scaffolding and infrastructure code to put together and in fact contains implementation details specific to the framework you use. And only 10% or less is actual "business logic". The spec doesn't have to deal with language, framework details, so by definition spec is the minimum amount of text necessary to express the business logic and behaviour of the system.

Quite a dumb application of quantum physics. Cooling something to near zero, which takes energy, and is complex, and big, in order to obtain precisions which are magnitudes higher than what is necessary. As if one would use CPUs to prop up an uneven table and would boast that they use microelectronics.

"Instead of relying on conventional sensors, these devices use clouds of atoms cooled to near absolute zero. At those temperatures, atoms start to behave strangely — acting as both particles and waves. As the atoms “fall” through a sensor, their wave patterns shift in response to acceleration. Using what’s effectively an ultra-precise optical ruler, the system can read these changes with extraordinary accuracy, without needing satellites at all."

wow this is huge

"Russia-Ukraine War First, we use Apple’s WPS to ana- lyze device movements into and out of Ukraine and Russia, gaining insights into their ongoing war that, to the best of our knowledge, have yet to be made public. We find what appear to be personal devices being brought by military personnel into war zones, exposing pre-deployment sites and military positions. Our results also show individuals who have left Ukraine to a wide range of countries, validating public reports of where Ukrainian refugees have resettled."

We don't really need artificial consciousness. Actually, we should avoid it. We already have Artificial General Intelligence (contrary to common perception). Artificial consciousness will only complicate things. A lot. Better keep on enhancing the AGI we have and use it as a tool rather than having to deal with the emotional and ethical aspect of the AI in case it gets consciousness.
