This beast will finally reveal his ugly mug and try to intimidate you, but you're Kratos and he's rather simple to defeat, who's he kidding? His moves are simple -- a tentacle attack that takes three swipes at you, and a claw smash. Each move is easily recognizable, and easily defended. As soon as you see his head go back, hold L to block. To defend the tentacle attack, simply hold L the entire time. To defend the claw smash, either roll out of the way or parry his attack by timing the block. Inflict enough damage to his head and you'll pass this stage of the boss battle.
When he changes sides, he brings his spider friends with him and switches up his attack method. From this angle, he'll try to bite you. Take out the spider enemies first by performing the grab attack (CIRCLE) -- you will enter an animated sequence where Kratos will rip the thing in half. Luckily, when you're engaged in this move you become invincible. Take advantage of this and eliminate each spider creature before turning back to Scylla, who is apparently much quicker from this side of the rock. Defending against him from this angle is the same, though -- hold L whenever he enters into his attack mode and you'll be safe. The frequency in which he attacks is much faster here, so you won't be able to cause as much damage between his attacks, so have patience.
After Scylla throws even more spider creatures at you he'll swim back to his original position, and he'll revert to his original attack method. Prioritize grabbing the spider creatures again, before going after the beast. Once he goes down, double jump to get to the crane wheel, and rapidly press CIRCLE to activate the mini game. Once the sequence starts, pay close attention to quick time event button prompts. Hit them in time and Scylla will run away.
Jump back onto the ledge with the crane wheel, then jump again to the ledge above that. Head to the left and you'll see a chest with RED ORBS. Go back around to the right side and jump onto the ledge. Open the chest directly in front of you to get your first GORGON EYE (1/15).
Jump onto the rope and take a ride down for a quick swim. Hold and release R to dash directly in front of you. You'll break through an underwater door and see a chest that contains RED ORBS. Swim to the surface and jump to shore. You can save your progress in the swirling light.
After saving, jump onto the brick wall to the right, then again onto the ledge. Continue to move around the corner until you can drop down onto the ledge. Climb a few more ledges until enemies jump down at you. After a quick scuffle replenish your health by opening the chest with GREEN ORBS. Directly next to the chest is a wall you'll need to break down in order to advance. Continue through the newly formed hole in the wall, and walk down the hall until you're greeted by a new enemy. Use the Grapple Point by pressing and holding CIRCLE to attach to it and swing from it, respectively. Jump down onto the platform and face the Minotaur that awaits you.
Scylla, the sea monster, will make another quick appearance to remind you that you still need to kill him. All you need to do to get rid of him, for now, is rapidly press L+R when he grabs you. He knows what's best though, so he'll run away again, leaving you alone with the Minotaur. This guy is an intelligent yet slow enemy, so strategize carefully. He will block all of your attacks if you approach him from the front, so wait for him to attack and roll around to get a clean shot from behind. Some other bad guys will quickly join the party, so be defensive until the numbers are more favorable. When you've hurt the Minotaur enough, a CIRCLE will appear over his head. Run up and rapidly press CIRCLE to finish him off.
To the right is a lever, walk over to it and grab it by holding CIRCLE. Pull it back with the analog nub to open the gate. Jump onto the ledge on the wall and follow it all the way around the corner, past the newly opened door. Climb up to find two treasure chests full of RED ORBS. Drop down and climb back around to the door.
Walk through the entry way and take a left. Head down the hallway and take down the next batch of enemies. Once you've finished them off climb the wall in front of you. Make sure to grab the GREEN ORBS before climbing the next wall. When you get to the ledge, climb to the left and jump onto the next platform to get your next cut scene.
Now that you've been introduced to the blade-throwing bad guys, make sure to hold L to block the blades when you see them coming. Run down and take them out. Head around the left side of the building, and you'll find the second GORGON EYE (2/15). Open the gate in front of the building, and pull out the block by holding CIRCLE and moving the analog nub. Pull the block all the way to the right, and use it to jump onto the wall. Open the chest with RED ORBS and jump back down.
Push the block down the path you took to get there, and onto the floor trigger. Once in place, the water to the left will stop falling, revealing a grapple point on the ceiling. Before using the grapple point, jump down into the water and open the chest with RED ORBS. Swim back to the wall you just jumped from and climb up. This time, swing across to the other ledge and prepare for a quick fight. After you've defeated all the enemies, grab the GREEN ORBS from the chest.
Continue down the stairs and follow the path to the part of the wall that you can climb on. Slide down the wall by holding L. When you get to the bottom, head to the left to collect the RED ORBS from two hidden chests. Run back around and head through the open door, into the Temple of Thanatos.
Start moving towards the screen, but make a quick left to collect the RED ORBS from the chest. Continue around the path, but turn down the middle walkway and press CIRCLE to get some information about the temple. Walk back to the path and continue to the right, until you get to a save point.

Q. What Is A Fragrance Family And Why Is It Important?
A. Fragrance families are classification systems that assign individual fragrances into olfactory groups based on their predominant characteristics. The most common use of the classifications is to help people find fragrances they might like, even when they may not be able to smell the fragrance. Each fragrance family has a unique personality and, instinctively, you will prefer fragrances from some and dislike ones from others. Many people, of course, like fragrances from more than one family, and some like fragrances from all of the fragrance families. Still, knowing the fragrance family can be very helpful simply in that it might give you some clues as to a fragrance's general character. If you had a favorite Brand and you knew that it was a citrus, say, or an oriental or a floral, that might help you decide whether or not a new fragrance in that family was something you wanted to try. Fragrance families are one of many tools we use to guide us through the perfume creation process.
Q. What Are Perfume Notes?
A. A fragrance is normally made up of 3 notes that unfold over time (Top, Middle and Base). Top notes are perceived immediately on the application of a perfume and evaporate quickly. They form a person's initial impression of a perfume. Middle notes emerge just prior to the dissipation of the top note. It forms the main body of a perfume and acts to mask the often unpleasant initial impression of base notes, which become more pleasant with time. Base notes appear close to the departure of middle notes and are the main theme of a perfume. Base notes bring depth to a perfume and are usually not perceived until 30 minutes afer application. When creating a fragrance we consider the combinations of scented oils from each of the three fragrance notes.
Q. How long can I keep my perfume before it "turns"?
A. Some industry experts say that perfume should be replaced every year, but properly stored, perfumes should last much longer. Most perfumes will keep several years, some will keep many more years than that.
Q. How can I make my perfume last longer on my skin?
A. All other things being equal, perfumes evaporate more rapidly from dry skin, so the best way to make fragrance last longer is to use a relatively heavy body lotion or cream. Some people like to buy the "matching" cream for their fragrance, but you can also use an unscented cream. You might also try a light mist to your hair, which is said to hold scent longer than skin.
Q. How does our sense of smell work?
A. Odour molecules pass through the nasal passages to two tiny patches located behind the bridge of the nose. These patches are made up of millions of special olfactory or smelling sensors. The odour molecules dissolve in moisture and bind to tiny nerve hairs on the cells. Recent research has found that every cell is equipped with as many as a thousand different receptors, each designed to respond to a small group of different odours. These send messages about the odour to the limbic system, the part of the brain that governs moods and certain emotional responses. While the limbic system is largely devoted to smell, it also influences our hormonal, metabolic and stress responses and is the emotional centre for sexual desire, rage, fear and joy. That's why fragrance is such an emotional experience.
Q. Why does fragrance bring back memories and feelings of the past?
A. Because smell triggers the associative memory of clusters of events and feelings. We use this "memory" part of the brain to help us identify a particular scent because we can't describe an odour. The closest we can come is to describe it in relative terms: "It smelled like ...". A whiff of fragrance sends our brain searching in our "memory bank" of smells for old associations and connections that might help define the aroma. This is why, when smelling a rose today, you may suddenly have an image of your grandmother's garden or a feeling of the fragrance your mother wore.
Q. How do you create fragrances "Inspired by real women"?
A. We sit down with real women that we think can inspire and relate to others. During this process we get to know their personalities, emotions, memories, likes, dislikes, careers, daily routines, etc. We then match all of the characteristics we can to several scents that our inspiration correlates to that characteristic. For example, the feeling of relaxation has been closely associated with the scents of lavender and pine. If we were developing a fragrance that was inspired by a fairly relaxed person, then we would try to incorporate lavender and/or pine in the fragrance. It's an amazing process that results in a much more personal and emotional fragrance experience.
Q. What does it mean to be "Sulfate Free"?
A. Sulfates are effective cleansing and foaming agents that can be found in toothpaste, shampoo, and body washes, among other products. Sulfates are concerning because they were found to break down proteins, which can lead to a degenerative effect on the cell membranes. Sulfates were also found to leave residue in the heart, lungs, and brain.
Fragrances For Life is committed to producing safe, and natural products and DOES NOT use sulfates in any product.
Q. What does it mean to be "Paraben Free"?
A. Parabens are chemicals that have been used since the 1950s to prevent bacteria and act as a preservative in deodorants, lotions, lipsticks, shampoos, scrubs, and more. Studies have shown that some parabens can mimic the activity of the hormone estrogen in the body's cells, and while estrogenic activity is associated with certain forms of breast cancer, parabens have been found present in breast tumors.
However, so far there is no scientific evidence to prove that parabens have any link to cancer. Fragrances For Life is committed to producing safe, and natural products and DOES NOT use parabens in any product.
Q. Are your products cruelty free?
A. Our products are absolutely cruelty free.
A. The ingredient list is correct. We us a small number of recognizable ingredients because our philosophy is that only ingredients that are both safe for your skin and the fragrance should go into the product.

Google Converting Coal Power Plant into Data Center
By The Associated Press | June 25, 2015
Google is converting an old coal-burning power plant in Alabama into a sleek data center running on renewable energy to fuel the additional computing capacity needed to process Internet search requests, show digital video, give directions, deliver email and store photos.
The $600 million project announced Wednesday marks Google's first commitment in eight years to build a U.S. data center. It will be the Internet company's 14th data center in the world, including six others in the U.S.
When it's completed, the Alabama data center is expected to create about 100 new jobs, Gov. Robert Bentley said Wednesday.
The data center will rely solely on renewable energy, helping to minimize the pollution created by the power demands of rows upon rows of computer servers running around the clock. Two other Google data centers in the U.S., located in Iowa and Oklahoma, already run entirely on wind power. Google is taking over an outdated power plant on a 350-acre site owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority in Stevenson — about 60 miles northeast of Huntsville. The utility's board of directors decided to close the plant earlier this year after the Environmental Protection Agency drafted tighter financial and environmental regulations for coal-fired plants, according to TVA officials.
Bentley said Google will use the plant's existing electric transmission lines and work with TVA to incorporate renewable energy into TVA's electrical grid. Google expects the Alabama data center to run on solar or wind power, or a combination of both.
The site's conversion from a dirty source of power to a cleaner type of electricity is a "poignant symbol of how quickly our energy economy can change for the better," said David Pomerantz, a senior climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace.
Google Inc. sees potential to redevelop other industrial sites as it looks for other places to build data centers, said Gary Demasi, the company's director of global infrastructure.
The Mountain View, California, company already has built a data center on the site of a former paper mill in Finland.
Google relies on the data centers to ensure a wide array of digital services and products are delivered to more than 1 billion people worldwide. The company's search engine alone is a computing hog because it fields more than 100 billion queries each month and indexes pertinent links among the roughly 60 trillion website addresses that it now comes across while scanning the Internet.
Besides running the world's dominant Internet search engine, Google also owns the most popular video site in YouTube, the top mapping service and its widely used Gmail for correspondence. In the past month, the company also unveiled a photo application that offers to store everyone's digital pictures for free.
Alabama Department of Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield said in a statement that the state expects to have other opportunities to boost its economy with technology projects because the growing reliance on digital services is fueling demand for even more data centers. Facebook, Apple, Yahoo and Amazon.com also are amassing data centers to power their services.

Mello Sichterman (Zwolle, 10 september 1885 - Almelo, 14 maart 1956) was een Nederlands burgemeester.

Familie
Sichterman was een telg uit het in het Nederland's Patriciaat opgenomen geslacht Sichterman en een zoon van mr. Paulus Cornelis Adriaan Sichterman (1855-1929), rechter en vicepresident van de arrondissementsrechtbank te Zwolle en lid van de gemeenteraad van Zwolle, en jkvr. Christina Johanna van Haeften (1862-1936). Op 9 mei 1912 trouwde hij met jkvr. Eugénie Berendina van Heemskerck Van Beest (1890-1983), telg uit het geslacht Van Heemskerck, die samen een dochter kregen.

Loopbaan
Op 29 juli 1925 werd Sichterman burgemeester van Almelo. Hij bleef dit tot vlak na het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog in 1945.

Bij het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog riep Sichterman in een brief aan alle kerken in Almelo dominees en pastoors op geen anti-Duitse preken te houden. Hij rapporteert op 7 oktober 1941 aan de Commissaris der provincie Overijssel de "bijzonderlijke gebeurlijkheden" van de afgelopen maand. Nr. 5 luidde: "Eveneens d.d. 15 September werd in deze gemeente des avonds, op last van de Sicherheitspolizei te Enschede, een tiental Joden gearresteerd, en dienzelfden avond nog op transport gesteld naar Enschede, alwaar de betrokkenen werden overgegeven aan de gemeentepolitie". De in de razzia van Twente opgepakte Joden kwamen om in concentratiekamp Mauthausen.

Vanaf 9 juni 1942 was Sichterman tijdelijk ook burgemeester van Hengelo nadat Jan van der Dussen op 4 juni 1942 wegens zijn anti-Duitse houding was gearresteerd . Sichterman bleef tijdelijk burgemeester van Hengelo tot 1 december 1942, toen de NSB'er Gerrit Nijk burgemeester van Hengelo werd.

Aan Sichterman die vanaf september 1944 met ziekteverlof was, werd als burgemeester van Almelo na de oorlog 'op zijn verzoek eervol ontslag verleend met ingang van 16 augustus 1945'. Hij werd tijdelijk opgevolgd door voormalig wethouder E. van Dronkelaar, die actief was geweest in het verzet. De Commissaris van de Koningin stuurde de oud-burgemeester op 7 december 1945 een brief met afkeuring van zijn weinig principiële houding, waardoor zijn beleid gedurende de bezetting gekenmerkt werd. In 1946 werd Jan Marie Ravesloot de nieuwe burgemeester van Almelo. Sichterman was benoemd tot Officier in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau in 1938 .

Integrated Power Services Establishes Leading Presence in the Western United States with Three Acquisitions
IPS acquires Industrial Electric Machinery, Reed Electric & Field Service, and A+ Electric Motor
(Greenville, SC — January 5, 2022) IPS, the North American leader in service, repair and engineering for electric motors and generators, has established a leading presence in the western United States with the acquisition of three companies — Industrial Electric Machinery (IEM), Reed Electric & Field Service, and A+ Electric Motor.
IEM, headquartered in Longview, WA with branch operations in Visalia and Carson, CA, is one of the leading electrical apparatus repair providers in the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 1988, the company offers engineering, electrical apparatus repair, control systems integration, warehousing and distribution.
"Industrial Electric Machinery has a longstanding reputation as a leader in power and rotating equipment services," said Spencer Wiggins, IEM President. "IPS shares our desire to be world class, to be a destination for customers and employees, and to be thought leaders in the space. It was evident immediately that IPS is a great fit and we're excited to join the IPS team!"
Reed Electric & Field Service, a fourth-generation family-owned company founded in 1929, is the longest running motor business in California. The company, which has facilities in Los Angeles and Reno, specializes in the repair and sale of AC, DC and synchronous motors up to 10,000HP/13.8 kV, pumps and generators.
"Reed Electric has a rich 93-year history of providing high quality electro-mechanical services while delivering excellent customer service.

The 2019 Presidential election is only 423 days away, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Friday.
According to the time table released by the commission, Nigerians are expected to elect the president on February 16, 2019.
Also scheduled for the same day is the election into the Senate and the House of Representatives.
News of the election dates was broken by INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, at an induction retreat for Resident Electoral Commissioners in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
The Governorship, State Assembly and Area Council elections in the Federal Capital Territory will follow on 2nd March 2019," Yakubu said.
The implementation of the 2019 Election Project Plan is to begin on January 1, 2018.
He said an additional 3,630,529 voters were registered in the recent continuous registration.
"This is an important development in our efforts to ensure that electoral services offered to Nigerians are better, more frequent and easier to access than ever before," he said.
This exercise will continue until 60 days to the 2019 General Elections, as a provided by the Electoral act.
He added: "At the same time, the Commission is exploring ways of improving the integrity of the collation and results transmission processes and has begun to deploy the electronic result collation and transmission platform on a pilot basis.
The commission said it has conducted 175 elections across the country in the last two years.
These include 79 Court-ordered re-run elections, 73 end of tenure elections and 23 bye-elections.
Yakubu said that even where electoral tribunals overturned two of the elections conducted, the commission was never asked to do a fresh election.
He also noted that to the credit of the commission, outcomes of most recent elections were not challenged in court.


What do you call the area outside of the comfort zone? According to Paul Schmid – and I have to agree – it's called the pursuit zone. And so the pursuit zone was born, a website dedicated to ambitious pursuits and dreaming big.
Hearing of my own attempts to escape the comforts of home for the coast of Africa, Paul recently interviewed me via skype about Encircle Africa. He asked many of the questions that I get asked when I'm promoting Encircle Africa: Around Africa by Public Transport and giving talks on the subject, covering a wide range of topics from the uncomfortable nature of travelling by publically available transport, to my future plans for adventure (and more on that soon).

When God created the world, He created the Garden of Eden as a crossroads between humanity and divinity, where he kept His prize creations Adam and Eve. However, Gadreel, who was tasked to guard Eden and prevent any evil from entering, allowed Lucifer to enter the Garden. The archangel's actions led to the corruption of humanity and their exile from the Garden. The Garden of Eden was hidden away, and appears to exist in an alternate realm outside reality. The Garden can be accessed if a non-human entity consumes the Occultum. According to Castiel, the Garden is "the crossroads of divinity and humanity" and no one has been there since the exile of humanity.
Within the Garden is a young girl and an albino python snake. The young girl appears to have great knowledge of the Garden, but her actual purpose is not known. The snake or the nature of the Garden itself appears to have the ability to restore lost souls in soulless people.
5.16 Dark Side of the Moon
Joshua, as he talks to Sam and Dean in the Garden of Heaven, briefly mentions how some people see Eden when they envision it.
When Metatron uncovers "Ezekiel's" real identity, he reveals that Gadreel was the angel who was tasked to guard the Garden of Eden to prevent any evil from entering. Castiel explained that he was the angel who allowed Lucifer into the Garden, which led to the corruption of humankind, the creation of demons and Hell, the departure of God, and the archangels' scheme to start the Apocalypse.

The spell to remove the Mark of Cain requires the forbidden fruit. Crowley was able to procure the quince which cost him an IOU with a Palestinian warlock.
15.13 Destiny's Child
When Jack consumed the Occultum, he was sent to the Garden of Eden where he was greeted by a little girl who explains the history of the Garden. When Jack asked her about how the Garden was supposed to change him, she tells him that the Garden will change him if he's "the one meant to find it." When she leaves, a snake appears from a tree and asks Jack who he is and who he is meant to be. Suddenly, Jack gets flashbacks of his memories, both good and bad and collapses on the ground in tears. Jack is sent back to the church where the Occoltum was hidden as ball of light.
Later, at the Bunker, Jack is in tears over killing Mary Winchester. Castiel explains that Jack's time in the Garden restored his lost soul and thus his ability to feel emotion.
Eden in Lore
The Garden of Eden was believed to have been created by God when the world was created as a paradise for humanity. However, when the serpent tempted Adam and Eve to eat from the Forbidden Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they were banished by the archangel Chamael and two cherubs with flaming swords were sent to protect the Garden. The Garden's location is believed to be located in Göbekli Tepe, an archeological site in the Anatolian Region in modern-day Turkey.

Visiting the dentist every 6 months is vital in maintaining good oral hygiene.
American Dental Association recommends seeing a dentist twice a year. Regular dental visits are essential for the maintenance of good oral hygiene and a healthy smile. It is important to have regular dental check-ups and make them an essential part of your basic oral care regime. These will allow for your dental specialist/ dentist to find early signs of disease and problems (if any) that can be treated at a manageable stage.
Dental check-ups are essential for the maintenance of healthy teeth and gums.
Dental specialists/ dentists can help spot oral health problems early on when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable.
Consultation and treatment (if necessary) should be completed within an half an hour. Sometimes, where complicated treatment may be required, the process may take a longer time. If your schedule does not allow, our dental specialist/ dentist will schedule for you to make a repeat visit another day for further treatment.
Besides the 6-monthly dental check-up, you should have a good home care regime to maintain healthy teeth and gums in-between dental visits. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day or after each meal to remove plaque build-up. Include foods that are good for your teeth like fruits and vegetables, whole grains and dairy products like cheese and milk into your diet.

Mozambique saw an increase of 389.22% in measuring and precision equipment import during the last 17 years. Still it has had a negative compound average annual growth rate of 0.04% during the 5 years with a modest overall rise since the start of time series.

WEST PARIS – The Board of Selectmen is expected to fill a vacancy on the SAD 17 Board of Directors at its meeting on December 13.
The vacancy was created by the SAD 17 board's decision on December 3 to declare a vacancy.
Town Manager Wade Rainey said at least one person has expressed an interest in filling the vacancy. The person appointed will serve until the annual town election on March 2, 2019 when voters will elect a new member for a three-year term.
Former director Toby Whitman and the town of West Paris were notified two months ago in an October 11 letter from SAD 17 Board of Directors Chairman Diana Olsen that the action was being contemplated because the director had "significantly" exceeded the board's limit on unexcused absences. At the December 3 board meeting Olsen said she had received no response from Whitman.
In the letter, Olsen said the last meeting Whitman attended was on May 7. At that time, Whitman had missed seven meetings without an excuse.
"The board acknowledges that unexcused absences may occur for a number of reasons and extends leniency as a general course of action. However, the extent of your absence from the board meetings has an impact on the residents of West Paris," she wrote.
According to board policy, the board notifies the director in writing after two consecutive unexcused absences, copying the board of selectmen and informs the director that a third absence will constitute cause for the board to consider declaring his or her seat on the board vacant.
In this case, the board waited until the December 3 meeting to take the action. At that time Whitman had the right to appear and present the reasons why he was absent to the board and ask that a vacancy not be declared, which he chose not to do.
Under school board policy, an absence is routinely considered excused if the director or a member of his or her immediate family has an illness, there is a death in the director's family, a short-term family obligation or an unavoidable commitment related to the director's employment.
Other absences are considered on a case to case basis.
Once the declaration was unanimously approved state law determines how the vacancy will be filled.
Whitman was appointed to the school board in 2012, elected in 2013 and re-elected in 2016 for a three-year term.
He resigned from his selectman seat in 2003 before his term had expired. Whitman told the Sun Journal at the time that he was resigning because of frustration from pressure exerted on the board by a small group of residents. He later told fellow board members that he was resigning because of business obligations.

Will Advanced AI Be Our Final Invention?
Louie Helm
It seems these days that no sooner do you get out the words "AI risk" then someone snaps back "Skynet." You mention "computer takeover" and they blurt "Hal 9000." "Intelligence explosion" is greeted with "The Forbin Project!" and "normal accidents" with "MechaGodzilla!"
In other words, you can't seriously discuss problems that might arise with managing advanced AI because Hollywood got there first and over-exercised every conceivable plot line. There's plenty of tech fear out there thanks to Hollywood, but there's also the tendency to imagine we're immune to AI risk because it's been in a movie, so, ipso facto it's fantasy.
While it's tempting to seek solace in this line of reasoning, the experts who are actually working on artificial intelligence have something else to say. Many point to a suite of looming problems clustered around the complexity of real-world software and the inherent uncontrollability of intelligence.
For example, Danny Hillis, of Thinking Machines, Inc., thinks we've entered a kind of evolutionary machine feedback loop, where we use complex computers to design computers of even greater complexity — and the speed of that process is outpacing our ability to understand it.
Hillis writes, "We're at that point analogous to when single-celled organisms were turning into multi-celled organisms. We are amoebas, and we can't figure out what the hell this thing is that we're creating."
Even Ray Kurzweil, who was recently hired by Google to take search into cognitive realms, thinks machines will "evolve beyond humans' ability to control or even understand them."
Fully autonomous (circa 2019)
Complex? Opaque? Check! Then there's the weaponization angle. While modestly funded academics at MIRI and FHI work on AI safety, big dollars are flowing in the opposite direction, towards human-killing AI. Autonomous kill drones and battlefield robots are on the drawing boards and in the lab, if not yet on the battlefield. Humans will be left out of the loop, by design.
Are they friendly? Safe? The Pentagon and stockholders won't be a bit pleased if these killing machines turn out to be either.
So, in an environment where high-speed algorithms are battling it out in Wall Street flash crashes, and 56 nations are developing battlefield robots, is a book about bad outcomes from advanced AI premature, or right on time?
The recently released, Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era, by documentary filmmaker James Barrat, offers frank and sometimes raw arguments why the time is now, or actually, yesterday, to move the AI-problem conversation into the mainstream.
The problem isn't AI, Barrat argues, it's us.
Technological innovation always runs far ahead of stewardship. Look at nuclear fission. Splitting the atom started out as a way to get free energy, so why did the world first learn about fission at Hiroshima? Similarly, Barrat argues, advanced AI is already being weaponized, and it is AI data mining tools that have given the NSA such awesome powers of surveillance and creepiness.
In the next decades, when cognitive architectures far more advanced than IBM's Watson achieve human level intelligence, watch out —"Skynet!" No, seriously. Barrat makes a strong case for developmental problems on the road to AGI, and cataclysmic problems once it arrives.
Adorable AI Overlords FTW!
Imagine a half dozen companies and nations fielding computers that rival or surpass human intelligence, all at about the same time. Imagine what happens when those computers themselves become expert at programming smart computers. Imagine sharing the planet with AIs thousands or millions of times more intelligent than we are. And all the while the deepest pockets are weaponizing the best of this technology.
You can skip coffee this week — Our Final Invention will keep you wide-awake.
Barrat's book is strongest when it's connecting the dots that point towards a dystopian runaway-AI future and weakest when it seeks solutions. And maybe that's the point.
The author doesn't give Kurzweil the space and deference he normally gets as the singularity's elder statesman, and the pitchman for an ever-lasting tomorrow. Instead Barrat faults Kurzweil and others like him for trumpeting AI's promise while minimizing its peril, when they know that something fallible and dangerous lurks behind the curtain. Kinda like the Wizard of Oz.
