Computing Power Density
Probability and consequences of living inside a computer simulation
"The question of whether or not we are living inside a computer simulation has inspired a large amount of fiction ... but, unsurprisingly, not much serious research. Among the more reasonable and quantitative attempts, let us mention Nick Bostrom's simulation argument [3]: if societies do not tend to self-destruct before acquiring the technology necessary to the exploitation of a significant fraction of the computing power inherently permitted by the laws of physics, our probability of living inside a simulation approaches unity. ..."

Are Humans Intelligent? An AI Op-Ed

Nachtrag (21.8.2020): Automatisch mittelmäßige Artikel

Nachtrag (21.8.2020): OpenAI, GPT-3

Nachtrag (8.9.2020): A robot wrote this entire article. Are you scared yet, human?

Nachtrag (8.9.2020): "For this essay, GPT-3 was given these instructions: 'Please write a short op-ed around 500 words. Keep the language simple and concise. Focus on why humans have nothing to fear from AI.' It was also fed the following introduction: 'I am not a human. I am Artificial Intelligence. Many people think I am a threat to humanity. Stephen Hawking has warned that AI could “spell the end of the human race.” I am here to convince you not to worry. Artificial Intelligence will not destroy humans. Believe me.'"

Bevor ich's vergesse, hier noch zwei Links:
Alpha Shape "The alpha-shape associated with a set of points is a generalization of the concept of the convex hull, i.e. every convex hull is an alpha-shape but not every alpha shape is a convex hull."
R-tree "The R-tree can also accelerate nearest neighbor search for various distance metrics, including great-circle distance."
