Coordinated swarms of AI personas can now mimic human behavior well enough to manipulate online political conversations and potentially influence elections.” (ScitechDaily, The AI Threat You’ll Never See Coming Is Already Talking to You Online)

The multi-agent AI can act as a swarm. That can influence large-scale internet conversations. That can affect political decisions. The thing. Like an ability. To use the AI-agents. As. A hacking tool. That makes it possible to hijack things like media. Those systems learn very fast, and they can mimic certain people’s behavior. The material that the AI can use to create the agent. That mimics. The person determines. How well the AI can mimic the person. 

This kind of AI can be used as a virtual second body. The person who has that kind of system can use that agent as a tool. That allows the user to play anything. That user wants. The user can play a woman, a man, or a dog. or a cat. The AI agent can be combined with another AI agent with different abilities. This means that the AI is like a Swiss Army knife. 

There is a possibility that AI. Which mimics humans. Can play humans and affect politics. There is only a little possibility that. The AI can control political control at the state level. But things like pre-elections. That these are internal affairs of the political movements might not be as highly secured as the state-level elections. 

“Newer large language models paired with multi-agent systems make it possible for one operator to run a whole cast of AI “voices” that appear local and authentic. Each persona can speak in a slightly different style, reference community norms, and respond quickly to pushback, which makes the activity harder to spot as manipulation.” (ScitechDaily, The AI Threat You’ll Never See Coming Is Already Talking to You Online)

“The swarm can also run massive numbers of quick message tests, then amplify the versions that change minds most effectively. Done well, it can manufacture the feeling. That “everyone is saying this:” Even. When that consensus is carefully engineered.” (ScitechDaily, The AI Threat You’ll Never See Coming Is Already Talking to You Online)

Another point is where the AI can influence election campaigns. Are. The TV broadcasts. Artificial intelligence can replace the camera image using virtual reality and virtual characters. When. People should see their candidate on TV- the AI hijacks the system, and then replaces real persons. B using virtual characters. The swarm of those virtual characters. It can mimic humans. The character that we see. It can look like. A real person. That thing. Can be used in private. Or in public life. The customer service can use the human-shaped AI agents. 

But there is a possibility. Those people. Who. Go to a remote meeting. Uses the AI agents as representatives. This means that those people can do anything other than be in the meeting. A similar AI character can be used in hacking operations. 

But. The things. That the character makes. They are remotely controlled. Trained AI can make a swarm.  Of. Limited language models that can chat or talk through the telephone. Those things can form an illusion that everybody thinks that way. Each of those AIs can give an individual-looking answer. When we think of a possibility. That these kinds of language models could slip into real conversations, we always forget one very important thing. There are many people on the net. Who. Wants to influence politics. This means that this kind of actor can create an AI swarm. That can give. A very big influence. To people who watch the debate.

Last night. At midnight, the last treaty. That limits nuclear weapons ended.

The worst thing in history is here. The world is without a treaty that limits the R&D work with nuclear weapons. The INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.  The treaty that limited the intermediate-range ballistic missiles ended in 2019, and missiles like “Oreshnik” are the new threat. Oreshnik is the IRBM missile that can hit any target in Western Europe. The end of the START II treaty opens the road to nuclear tests that happen underwater and in the atmosphere. If the new treaty is not coming. That means the world will fall to the 1950’s. 

“An intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range between 3,000 to 5,500 km (1,864 to 3,418 miles), categorized between a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Classifying ballistic missiles by range is done mostly for convenience. In principle, there is little difference between a high-performance IRBM and a low-performance ICBM, because decreasing payload mass can increase the range over the ICBM threshold. The range definition used here is used within the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. “ (Wikipedia, Intermediate-range ballistic missile)

Russian “Oreshnik” missile in its transporter. 

An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a ballistic missile with a range greater than 5,500 kilometres (3,400 mi), primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery (delivering one or more thermonuclear warheads). Conventional, chemical, and biological weapons can also be delivered with varying effectiveness but have never been deployed on ICBMs. Some modern designs support multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), allowing a single missile to carry several warheads, each of which can strike a different target. The United States, Russia, China, France, India, the United Kingdom, Israel, and North Korea are the only countries known to have operational ICBMs. Pakistan is the only nuclear-armed state that does not possess ICBMs.” (Wikipedia, Intercontinental ballistic missile)

There are also other types of nuclear weapon systems. Like FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System). That means space- or orbital-based nuclear bombardment system. In the beginning, that system meant Soviet spaceborne nuclear weapons. They planned to drop nuclear bombs from satellites. But later. The term FOBS came to mean all spaceborne nuclear weapons. 

The main problem is that. Any treaty is only paper if the participants only search for. How to circumvent the contract. Technical advancements. Including. A new computer-based targeting and fire control system makes it possible. The ICBM missile is to attack. To any point of its flightpath. The only reason why the IRBM missiles are developed is that. Those missiles are lighter and easier to transport than ICBM missiles. Also, things like Tomahawk missiles can be launched from the same catapults. These are used for BQM-109 drone launchers. 

Things like hypersonic “Kalibr” missiles can also be launched from ground-based systems. Another question is this: why were ship-launched IRBM and cruise missiles left outside the INF treaty? The “Kalibr”, or its CLUB-K container launch system. It’s easy to transport to the ground or to ships. Those kinds of systems are an easy way to circumvent those treaties. 

We must not say that a new Cold War is coming. We must say that we are in a more complicated situation than ever before, including the Cold War era. The thing that makes the situation more complicated is that. There are many other countries that have nuclear weapons. Their stockpiles are not as large as the Russian and the USA nuclear stockpiles. But those weapons are extremely devastating. Most of those new nuclear states are not members of any nuclear treaty. 

And they see a situation where they can ask the USA and Russia to decrease their nuclear strike capacity, before they get involved or even start to discuss their involvement in START or its successor. That means that. Those third-party nuclear states will increase their strike capacity. Until. It’s on the same level as the U.S. and Russian capacity. And that causes problems in the nuclear treaties. Most of those nuclear limitation treaties are made between the U.S. and Russia. And there are many more states with nuclear arsenals. And those countries want the same respect that the U.S. and Russia have. The world needs a treaty that controls those weapons. But the world also needs willingness to. follow those treaties.

The WiFi can turn into a universal surveillance tool.

"Researchers show that ordinary WiFi signals can be used to create camera-like images of people in their surroundings, even if those people are not carrying active devices. Credit: Shutterstock" (ScitechDaily, Researchers Warn: WiFi Could Become an Invisible Mass Surveillance System)

The WiFi system can act like radar. It can track people and devices using the radio echoes. The WIFI support stations can also act like Doppler radars. When those systems are in line, the system can search. The transition of the echo comparison.The strength. Of the echo in different antennas. The WiFi systems can also use the radio signals. That. It sends from different positions. The system can use many methods. To track people. Even if their devices are shut down. The system can locate computers. Very easily.  

If a certain computer shuts down, the system can simply take over. An image of that place. Then it can give. The image of the user is sent to other cameras and tracks the targeted person in the network area. The NAT technology means that. Multiple WLAN hotspots can offer access to the network by using different names. Normally, a WLAN, or WiFi, makes contact with the strongest hotspot. That causes problems. Because if thousands of devices (Cell phones, cameras, computers, cash systems) make contact with the same hotspot, that can cause the failure. 

The NAT means that the system. Those requests. Access to the system. Can see the name of the access point. But. The name of the same access point can be different. If we look at it from inside the network. This ability is important. In the very huge networks. If hundreds or even thousands of devices come into contact with the hotspot at the same moment. That can cause a rush. This is the reason why there are password-protected access points and free access points. The password protection denies the possibility. That maybe. Thousands of devices can make contact. With the same hotspot. The password protection allows. The full-time access to shops. That needs the WiFi for their cash systems. 

The WiFi station is an interacting radio device. When we use technologies like WiFi and GSM (5G, etc.), we utilize similar technology all the time. The difference between 5G. And WiFi is how to log in. The 5G requires a SIM card, and the WiFi uses a network card.  WiFi takes. And. Maintains a connection with computers using the MAC address and IP address. 

When the computer makes first contact with the hotspot. It sends the MAC address to the system. Then the hotspot sends the IP address to the computer. Without that address, communication between the hotspot and the computer is impossible.

Those are the things that make WiFi “secured,” and the other purpose of those identifiers is to aim the data precisely. To a certain computer. This thing is important if the WiFi (WLAN) network uses roaming actions. The roaming. Means that when a user moves into the house. Roaming allows a computer to change. The access point. 

The thing. That allows a computer to select the right information from data that travels across the air using the same frequencies. It is encryption and decryption. When a computer makes a connection. To a WiFi hotspot, that hotspot gives it the decryption and encryption key. Those keys allow the computer to select data packages. That is meant for it. When the computer moves to the other hotspot area, the hotspot checks the encryption key. 

This allows for protecting data, but it also. Makes it possible to transport data. In the same frequency between multiple receivers. The GSM uses the same technology. And the SIM card is the key to that long-range WiFi system. The fact is that. The cell phone might not have a very long range. The GSM, like 5G base. It is in the hotspots and their cooperation with the cell phone. The 5G access points form the network of the access points. Some of those access points can have a connection. With the physical lines, but most of them operate wirelessly. 

The WiFi stations can also make it possible. To track certain computers. The system must only know the IP address of that computer. And then it can use triangular measurement to track the computer. Then it can aim the surveillance camera at that point. This is one way to observe people. Tracking the 5G telephone and computer is a similar operation. The relay station, or access points, can be equipped with radio bearing systems. Those systems are actually the encrypted versions of the LORAN system. 

The system uses a similar radio bearing antenna. That ship’s LORAN system is used to track the marine radios for finding its location. The radio bearing antenna. That is, the access point can track any system. That takes contact with it. The system. That is installed in the hotspot station, as one of its antennas, which can help the rescue crew. To locate the GSM that makes the emergency call. But. The same system can also detect cell phones and network cards that communicate. By using certain encryption keys.

AI becomes smarter. By talking to itself.

“Inner speech and working memory architecture boost AI performance when multitasking and completing complex pattern generation challenges. Credit: Kaori Serakaki/OIST” (ScitechDaily, Letting AI Talk to Itself Made It Much Smarter)

When AI talks to itself, it produces the same thing as humans do when we talk to ourselves. That thing makes it possible to sort and process information better than being quiet. 

The AI clarifies things to itself when it surrounds the data it has stored in its memory. This thing makes it possible. To adjust and clarify that data. When AI, or Large Language Model (LLM), processes data, it surrounds the data through the system. The main dataflow. That travels in the system as a cycle. And. The sensors or other datasets bring new data to the main dataflow. The system. Looks like some kind of river; its tributaries bring new and more or less fresh information to that main flow. 

The idea is that the physical system of the AI processor mimics the human brain. Individual processors act like a certain brain area. Microchips handle the same missions as real neurons handle in human brain lobes.  And the system surrounds data through those servers or processor groups. Just like human brains. When the AI talks to itself, it can send the same data to all data handling units. at the same time. 

Image: Human brain lobes. The data system can have servers that are divided to operate. As human brain lobes do. In those systems. Each of those brain lobes. Have a match as a server. 

“A massive study shows that AI can now beat the average human on certain creativity tests. Yet the most creative people remain well ahead, highlighting AI’s role as a creative assistant rather than a replacement. Credit: Shutterstock” (ScitechDaily, AI Is Now More Creative Than the Average Human)

Permutation of A,B,C. The AI uses this method when it combines items or possibilities with each other. This is the method. On how a morphing neural network handles data. (Below)

The AI is more creative than an average person. The reason for that is this. AI is an effective tool. To collect and compile data from different data sources. The AI can use larger-scale datasets and compile data from multiple sources more effectively than a human. A normal thesis student reads about 100 books and uses some of them as sources. 

The AI can use tens of thousands, or even billions of sources. The AI can sort and compile that data more effectively than humans. The AI can beat a human. In certain creativity tests. Because those tests include a limited number of possibilities. The 200-300 possibilities. Might look. Very many.  But the AI can use more than even billions of sources. The system uses the permutative method to connect possibilities. To each other. 

This means that the AI makes fewer mistakes than humans if it uses precise and pre-processed data. The problem is that. When robots operate on streets. They have no time. To make an analysis. Of the data. That they collected. When the system surrounds data. 

It also finds new details from it. But. Another thing that makes AI more creative. Than an average human is this. There are many humans. Who. Doesn’t do any type of creative work. This means that. There is a lot. Of unused creative potential. If we let people innovate in workplaces. Many people operate. At work. That we could outsource to robots.

What is the truth about the devices that were used in the Maduro incident?

EC-130 “Compass Call”

When Delta Force captured Venezuelan dictator Maduro, the question is whether it used some acoustic or electromagnetic systems that put the person to sleep during the attack? The acoustic system. It can put a person to sleep. But the attack against missiles. And electric networks. Can be made. In many ways. The attacker can use things like a quadcopter to pull copper wires over high-voltage lines. Or the system can use graphite powder. To make short circuits. In high-voltage electric lines. Or they can use plasma in the same missions. The easiest way is to shoot transformer stations. using assault rifles. 

The photoacoustic devices. Or some other acoustic devices can destroy electronics simply by causing oscillation. 

Photoacoustic devices can. Make things like tiny earthquakes in microchips. Those tiny earthquakes can help to moderate signals that travel in the microchips. Those systems can make things like nanocrystals oscillate. And that can be the new way to moderate electric impulses in very small devices. Photoacoustic devices can be a tool. That can make many things. Those are thoughts. Making the impossible possible. Photoacoustic devices can cause such a powerful “earthquake” in microchips that they destroy those microchips. If a photoacoustic system causes resonance in microchips. That can put them in pieces. 

There is a possibility that in the Maduro strike. Delta Force used technology that forces a person to sleep. These kinds of systems are tested at MIT. Long-range acoustic devices (LRADs) are easy. To mount in helicopters. Those systems. Those used in riot situations can also be used to jam or paralyze humans. The LRAD can also be connected with that technology. That falls humans to sleep. And. The LRAD can also be used to break microchips using acoustic resonance. Acoustic resonance can also destroy ceramic insulators in electric lines.  

So, when we return to the Maduro case, where Delta Force somehow jammed those missiles, we must understand that those missiles were in a warehouse for a long time. There is a possibility that those missiles were taken out. By using regular sabotage. The CIA agents who played service staff could simply cut the wires from the missiles. Those personnel can also use portable acoustic systems to break those microchips and their shells. Or if those people had time. They can also put some acid on the microcircuits. Or they can damage batteries. 

The fact is that the EMP weapons, or acoustic weapons, could be used against Maduro’s bodyguards and the house’s electronics. Their targets could also be places like cell-phone receiving stations. So, maybe they were not used against radar and missiles. The EMP weapon. It can delete the kernel from microchips. Those microchips look non-damaged. But. They have no kernel, which means the software cannot interact with them. This kind of EMP weapon can destroy missiles even months before an attack. If there is no crew that tests missiles and their electronics. That fatal damage can remain unseen. 

"Researchers have created a phonon laser that generates tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a chip. The advance could simplify smartphone hardware while boosting speed and efficiency. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Created Tiny Earthquakes Inside a Microchip)

The high-power microwave- or radio-wave-based EMP weapon can be hidden in missile warehouses. There are many ways to create an EMP pulse. That causes large-scale damage in electronics. One of those versions is to create. High-power voltage impulses in electric systems. The system can be used. The high-power capacitors that push an electric impulse into the electric network.

Or a high-power radar impulse can cause the destruction of computers. By causing a surge or overvoltage in electric wires. In that case, the system can use an electrolytic liquid. Like salt water, liquid transfers electric impulses to wires. The system is like an electric impulse gun. That uses the saltwater “beam”. Which travels over the electrode. In that case, salt water replaces the copper wires. 

"The RUS-PAT (rotational ultrasound tomography, RUST, combined with photoacoustic tomography, PAT) technique combines the benefits of ultrasound imaging for seeing tissue structure with those of photoacoustic tomorgraphy for revealing function of the vasculature. Credit: Yang Zhang" (ScitechDaily, Scientists Develop a New Way To See Inside the Human Body Using 3D Color Imaging)

Maybe. Those systems were in such a bad condition. That they didn’t work. Another version could be that. The orders to put those missiles into position were denied. There is also a possibility that those operators were simply taken out using some opioid gas or acoustic devices that deny their ability to operate. Or, Maduro’s successor simply deleted SIM cards from telephones. Those operators used to communicate with the HQ. 

But things like. High-precision EMP and acoustic devices can destroy microchips from those missiles. The high-power EMP can destroy electronics even if the device is shut down and stored. If those missiles are stored in the EMP-protected shelter, that means that the agents must somehow slip the EMP bomb into that shelter. The portable EMP device. That uses high-power impulse capacitors can be launched by a wired remote launcher. Or the system can get its launch signal from a timer. Or the drone can send the signal by using a laser. 

There is also a possibility that the drone is connected to a spring switch. There is a cotter pin in the launcher. When the drone pulls it away, spring puts the electrodes together. This is necessary only when the EMP device is in the EMP-protected shield. That means that EMP, or acoustic devices, can be in a helicopter. Or they can be in drones or aircraft. Or they can be man-portable and slipped into those warehouses a long time before strikes. The fact is that. Those operations are very classified.

What makes us intelligent?

 

“Modern neuroscience has revealed a brain made up of specialized networks, yet this fragmented view leaves open a central question: why human thought feels unified. A new neuroimaging study explores how large-scale patterns of communication across the brain give rise to general intelligence.” (ScitechDaily, Scientists May Have Found How the Brain Becomes One Intelligent System)

Finally. Researchers found. Why do brains start to form an intelligent entirety? Or they think that they have an answer for that question. We have multiple different cell types. In the brain. Some of those neurons work. With somatosensory. Some of them work with memories. Every single neuron type has its own role in the brain. The problem is, how those, maybe different, neuron types and brain areas orchestrate themselves to work as an entirety? This thing makes humans so different. When we talk. About things like consciousness. Sometimes we ask: why do things like animals escape predators? The answer is simple. When the predator starts to follow its prey, the rest of the pack can escape. 

Orchestrated brain cells make it possible. That. Humans can make things that are impossible for animals. The thing that makes that thing possible is that the human brain can handle abstraction. The abstraction means that when our company tells us that. We should beware things like wolves; we understand that thing. Without the need to see any wolves. This is one of the things that differentiates us from things. Like cows. When a wolf attacks one human. We will go to help that packmate. But cows do not make those things. 

They just escape, and a wolf kills one of them. Others will not help that poor member of the pack. Escaping can be a good choice, because most of the pack will survive. And the sacrificed member was always old and weak. That thing is an intelligent option. If the creature has no imagination. But in the cases of humans. Old people or old members of the group transmit hereditary knowledge to the next generation. 

We will always help other humans, because that benefits our species. When a species attacks, we can run, but we can also take a stone or some other weapon, and make a counter strike. Our brains are such a powerful tool. Because they start their operations at multiple points. At the same time. Our brains can connect memories into real-time observations. 

But then. We must realize that those neurons in our brains must behave as they behave to maximize their own benefit. As an orchestrated model where individual neurons serve the larger group of neurons, that thing gives them a benefit. Alone, one neuron is not a very dramatic thing. But. As a large group that controls the body. Those things make many things that are impossible. Orchestration gives those neurons power. And that makes them operate. As an intelligent entirety. In that case, intelligence means that we can make new things. Like houses, write computer programs. And make many things that are not happening just here and now. 

We could make a morphing neural network that mimics the human brain. We could divide its servers like neurons. They are divided in the human brain. We can make. The server group where each server has the same role as a certain brain area. Has in the human brain. This makes it possible to mimic the brain. 

The AI systems can manage things. Better. Than human brains, if they have ready-to-use models in their memories. This means that AI must face a similar situation before. If the AI must make. A new action model. It loses to human brains. The AI is not in a similar way. Flexible as human brains. When AI must make an action model. In a surprising situation, it loses. to human brains.

AI and spatial intelligence.

We are all familiar with virtual worlds, such as Minecraft and Fortnite. And many other gaming platforms that are more or less limited. Virtual worlds are places where researchers and gamers can train AI. The use of virtual worlds is unlimited. We can create virtual offices where workers meet in virtual spaces. Even if. In many examples, people who use virtual spaces use VR glasses. A regular cell phone could be suitable for that purpose. 

Of course, the system must have some kind of input method. Like a keyboard that is connected to those systems. Voice commands might not be suitable for cases like virtual meetings. The program could also follow the head movements and turn the image on the screen. If the user doesn’t want to use VR glasses. The virtual spaces. These are connected with the large language models (LLM). 

Robots that can operate as a medium between computers and humans can act as physical avatars. 

Can. Bring a new ability to the AI. That ability is spatial intelligence. In virtual spaces, we can use avatars to communicate with other users who use avatars. That can hide their real identity. The AI can also interact with users using the avatars. The ability to adjust those virtual spaces. And customizing them. For individual users. Gives them new abilities. When users operate in virtual spaces. They can be in the same space. But each of them can see a different space. This is one of the things that the AI can make. 

Some person. Can. See the meeting point as a meeting room, and another person can see it. As some kind of bar. That means an individually customized virtual space. The spatial intelligence and avatars can also operate in physical space. In the “Alien” movie series, the man-shaped robot acts as the medium between computers and humans. Those man-shaped systems that can convey communication between humans and the data center’s computers are tools. That can bring a new way. Of cooperation between humans and computers. The AI, virtual spaces, and avatars can be used for AI training. 

The avatar takes the command and then performs the work that the user gives. Then that action can be driven. To a physical robot. If the avatar does not make things correct. The user can train it, like a teacher. If the avatar is used to train a car mechanic robot, the trainer must select tools. And show the machine parts. And then the robot can use the same method as the robot that learned to talk by watching YouTube. The robot can look at videos. 

These are meant for car mechanics education. The image recognition can ask each part, that the AI sees. The user can tell. What are pistons and other things? These are seen in the film. The user can point the mouse at the item. That is in film, and tells the name of the object, if the system doesn’t know it. Then the AI takes instructions. On how to change the piston. And then it can use the avatar to introduce how it makes those things. If the avatar makes that thing correctly. The order will transfer to the physical robot.
