Review:

Well let me tell you about the amazingly beautiful Planetarium. Not only is this one of my favorite songs from Ai to date, but it's also one of her most beautiful. Despite the song sounding very sad, it's still amazing. And the vocals are incredible, I loved the panting background vocals, very nice. Although the piano is the main instrumental in the beginning it does get better. The chorus is what really drew in my attention. The instrumentals were the piano, the guitar which sounded amazing, and finally a flute or reed which was just so awing. And to top it off it sounded so solemn, and a little fun, must be the flute. But the final chorus was much better, had a happier feel to it. I can understand why everyone loves this song.

drop. is basically the complete opposite of Planetarium. It's not half as sad sounding nor is it ballad like. It's more rock than anything I guess, but it's not all that catchy honestly. Don't get me wrong, the song had some great vocals and all, but it just wasn't all that great. The music was just too all the same. There was no variety in this song. It's just another typical B-Side.

Overall Review: Planetarium was a spectacular single! I can honestly say that this is one of Ai's best singles from this era, well it's also one of her best singles in terms of ballads too. Point is, the title track was flawless and was just plain awing. I wasn't all to happy about the B-Side but it was tolerable. Overall the single was just so beautiful, Ai's ballads are just so impressive. A brilliant and shining way to end the LOVE COOK Era.

The best computer translation have leveraged our habitual cliches, utilizing one or another massive, multilingual corpus to create new translations of a given phrase or sentence by comparing it to a bunch of phrases or sentences a lot like it that have been translated before.  Similarly, chess playing computers now contain massive stores of games played, so that the computer doesn't have to treat every single possible outcome equally, but rather can separate the likely from the highly improbably based on a huge data set of past outcomes.  (more examples of this phenomenon can be found in Ian Ayres book, Super Crunchers.)

So, our lack of individuality--the way that we habitually behave the way that we have behaved or the way that others behave--comes in handy for endeavors that profit from standardization.  Constant newness would be chaos, but the endless repetition of the old and familiar is a form of death all its own.

In the 25th anniversary year, which was marked recently, the UN Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances reported 41,257 pending cases across 78 countries.

In the first year of the Day of the Disappeared, the Working Group reported 1,733 cases of disappearances across 11 countries.

The worst national statistics referred to the Working Group last year were in Sri Lanka where 5,516 are currently registered as disappeared and 30 new urgent action cases were identified in relation to alleged disappearances, said the London based human rights group.

The International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance was adopted by the UN general assembly on December 20 2006.

AI calls upon all states to ratify the convention without delay and to enact effective implementing legislation in accordance with their international obligations, thereby joining together to put an end to enforced disappearances.

In observance of the International Day of the Disappeared (which falls on August 30 each year), Amnesty International issued on Aug. 28 a report entitled: "Asia Pacific: Enforced disappearances in the Asia Pacific region must end". Below are the Sri Lanka entry and the recommendations from the report.

by Danny Steyne

A few months ago the Lord spoke to me "ordain the donkeys and the fools!" He was telling me to release those who had no desire for their own reputations, but would carry the Glory regardless of what others thought of them.

The ministry of the donkey is remarkable in the Bible. It was to this ministry that God entrusted carrying the elements needed for sacrifice when Abraham would take his son to Moriah to offer him up as a sacrifice. It was to a donkey that God entrusted carrying provision to the family of Israel in times of drought. It was a donkey that brought a wayward prophet back to his senses. (Yes, once in a while even donkey's get to speak!) It was a donkey that would carry the promised seed to His birthing place, and a donkey that would carry the Son of Man in His Glory as He road into Jerusalem in triumph! Donkey's are simply reflections of the obvious. How can God take the stubborn and use them for His purposes! Psalm 76:10 "Surely the wrath of man shall praise You!"

God is brilliant... He uses the foolish to confound the wise! 1 Corinthians 4:10 "We are fools for Christ..." His ways are higher than ours. He can use Cyrus, the pagan, lost, unvirteous, king of Persia to be His Anointed servant... when it smacks at our apparent righteous plans. Isaiah 45:1 ""This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of - to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut!" Early last December (2007)I was flying out west and fell asleep. I had a vivid dream in which I heard the Lord say, "The next president will be a Cyrus, and will be a blessing to the Church if they will recognize it!" Cyrus was not recognized by his values, he was recognized because his heart would help God's people. It was Cyrus that literally provided the wealth and provision to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.

As I have pondered the events of the past few weeks and months that have apparently begun a severe "judgment that begins in the house of God" (1 Peter 4:17) I have asked the question several times, "Lord, how can we reflect You even through these circumstances?" As I write this from outside the USA, two prominent figures in the country I am in had failures exposed that drew yet another mark across all of our lives as we heard the revelations of brokeness and deception that quickly brought these brothers lives in from an extremely visible height of emulation to the depths of dissillusionment that caused many to evoke hatred, bitterness, scorn, and even shame.

When someone of prominence hits the mark of failure, we so often in self-righteous anger feel it our duty to devalue and demean all that was done through their lives, and as such we feel like the ones who were "duped"...but the stories should be enough for us to realize that many have been used who were less than perfect...and on many occasions were downright deceived and intentional in their failure. Paul wrote, "some preach Jesus out of envy and rivalry, thinking they would discourage me" (transliteration) but Paul was not discouraged, he understood that the ways of man are subject to the ways of God! God moves, even though many men walk in error.

All of us have our "opinions" of what is right theology. That alone should tell us that "somewhere, someone is in error!" All of us "believe" we are correct, but eternity will reveal the truth of what we held so dear. The issue for all of us has never been whether or not sin is in the earth, but whether we "see" Grace abounding on the earth. (Romans 5:20-21) It is not difficult to "see" sin...it takes barely any discernment at all to see error...but true discernment "separates" what is God from what is sin. Grace always abounds and even more so in the revelation of sin, but we as God's people must learn to "see" it, rather than foster the spirit of accusation. (See Zechariah 3:1 & Revelation 12:10)

Lakeland: The 21st Century Ai

I went. Many I know went. Many were touched, many were healed, and many of us were catapulted on to love and good deeds, to spread the fame of Jesus everywhere! How do we process failure in the midst of the Glory? Was it God who did that thing in Lakeland or was it the enemy?

Because I also am a pragmatist and MUST find out if it's God or not, I also heard those in opposition to Lakeland. I saw some stand strongly against it, others have changed hearts after they went, and others that went expecting to receive and didn't like it after they went. I heard the reports of those who were healed (and spoke to some directly who were) and also spoke to individuals who went and left in greater pain than when they went! Indeed, a very precious brother almost died after being in Lakeland, and one of my intercessors was hit powerfully by physical attack that ended her up in the hospital.

Lord, what do you see in Lakeland? Lord, was Lakeland your battle or one that was designed by hype, by noteriety, by media, by generated ads? Was it You that initiated, or prompted, or "incited" Todd Bentley to call for extended meetings?

The Lord took me to the Battle of Ai.

He asked a simple question of me. "Was it my desire to have victory over Ai?" (Read Joshua 7-8). Yes Lord! "Well then why did they fail? Why did the innocent have to experience loss if it was me?"

The Battle of Ai was secured in the PROMISE of the Promises of God to give the people of God their land, but the way in which they went about it resulted in catastrophe. In order to be in the places of Great Victory, we must also carry the task with Great Responsibility. Ai was not just a failure of Achan, Ai was the failure of Joshua for not asking God specifically how to win the victory, and the failure of God's people for not walking in required transparency and holiness before God. Ai, an intended victory, was met by defeat because of a single man who couldn't get greed out of his heart. It was the simplicity of his weakness and failure that resulted in the loss of innocent lives.

The story is repeated many times. Uzzah found out that even though God wanted to take the Ark to it's resting place in Jerusalem, the way in which it was taken there WAS important! (See 2 Samuel 6) There were things that were apparently not intended to be done in the way they were... God wanted to do things His way. Surely David, like Joshua, should have inquired of the Lord and probably knew the Biblical way to move the Ark. Surely the Levites knew how the Ark was supposed to be moved, but they failed to step into the role God determined for them...probably because of the excitement of the moment because they were seeing the Ark return... and as a result Uzzah, a bystander, simply doing what he had been told, died.

The Ark was always supposed to be followed from a distance. Joshua 3:4 "However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before." Evidently Uzzah didn't know that. Maybe the excitement of the Ark Outpouring clouded the discerment of David, the Levites, and Uzzah.

Broken Vessels

"...we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord...for it was God who said "Let light shine out of darkness"...but we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us!" 2 Corinthians 4: 5-7

The biggest question that most have, because often we base public failure as replete with deception and therefore invalidate the entirety of a persons history and credibility on that failure. We have done it repeatedly throughout history. We were NEVER intended to preach ourselves, but Jesus! We can look at the healing move and bring up names like William Branham who ended up in error and totally discredit the things GOD did through their lives, based upon SOME failures. Personally, I believe if Branham had never "taught" we would not consider him ending in error...but he did and late in his life considered himself "Elijah" which has produced an erroneous cultic following. But the vast majority of his life was a vessel with profound Biblical accuracy and anointing. His error in the end denied him the ability to speak into many lives who didn't have the maturity to look past the error for "God". When I eat meat... I spit out the bones. I always look for the gems in the muck. I always look for the pearls buried in the field.

Two significant questions that must be asked of the 21st Century church if we will prevail in the coming releases of the Holy Spirit.

Question 1: Does GOD use broken vessels?

I think a quick perusal of Scripture would determine that God could take a deceptive Abraham and produce an entire seed of promise, the murdering Moses could become the greatest prophet known to God's people who would lead them to the Promised Land. David, a manipulating adulterer and murderer still carries the title "Man after God's heart!"

Question 2: If He does use broken vessels; Are we called to pull them apart because we see failure, or should we see "THE PART THAT IS GOD" rather than pull people's focus OFF OF GOD and onto the broken vessel.

(My prayer is for a supernatural demise of the spirit of accusation in the days to come and "swish" from God that results in HIM being honored and noticed!) Revival will come... through the broken... it always has. It came through a teenager who ended up in obscurity in Wales. It came through a vessel names John Wesley who touched two continents although his marriage was horrible - his wife denounced his ministry for twent years while he continued! It came through a fisherman turned deniar of Jesus in Acts 2 through Peter to the Jews. It came through a murderer named Paul to the Gentiles. It came through frail broken vessels throughout all of history!)

Through the past several years I have watched the "creation of idols" in the church. Most often, the people whom we idolize are terrified by the notion that people would put them on that pedestal. They know too well that God obligates Himself to remove people from pedestals that we put there. Our God is a jealous God and will have NO IDOLS before Him. I sat with a precious humble woman who has been the object of much idolatry and she wept because she only wanted Jesus to be seen, not her.

The creators of idols often are being made not by the attenders of the meetings, nor by those whose attend to become more like Jesus, but rather by those who change the focus off of what GOD IS DOING through a person, onto the personality of who the person is.... others rise up to defend... and idols are made!

In the case of Lakeland. From my vantage point, both from leaders and those not in leadership, most went for an encounter GOD... not an encounter with TODD! Personally, it may be those who turned the focus onto Todd and off of God that may have the greatest responsibility in stealing the purposes of God from the hearts of those who so easily follow the sway of public noteriety and public crucifixion. Maybe it was God who decided to use someone who could so easily distract the natural eyes of men to reveal that even though God looks at the heart and not external appearance, they didn't.

I don't know too many who were really going to Lakeland to hear Todd Bentley (in fact many went when he wasn't there and were blessed!) I've been a part of several moves.... the early Vineyard... Toronto... and others. EVERY move had vessels that were not imperfect.

If perfection is the mark of a true move of God, then maybe we should invalidate the Jesus People Movement, Calvary Chapel, and The Vineyard because Lonnie Frisbee carried some issues and was a part of them. Maybe we should invalidate the MANY moves God has done through so many who fell, maybe we should invalidate all the things written by those who failed... maybe we should remove them from the face of Christian History Books!

We can't! That is what Grace is. That is the reason we ALONE get to carry the Gospel. We are called to be messengers of GRACE... imperfect and yet holy! No angel can carry Grace, they don't understand it, they were never forgiven. Indeed, in the case of their fall, no sacrifice for sins was made, they were judged and 1/3 of the angels were doomed. The long to look into Grace, because it is a concept they have never experienced. We alone, as God's People, have experienced this Grace and as such are called to carry this Grace in frail, fallible, vessels of clay.

GOD USES DONKEYS

We don't need to pick apart others who are acting like donkeys, even donkey's can be used by God! Where is the grace? I am so glad I was saved by Jesus and not those who love to find my faults. I have so many, it doesn't take a lot of discernment to find them. I am so glad that in Jesus I am the righteousness of God in Christ and although I am quite imperfect on earth, my Father sees me as PERFECT!!!! He sees me as Holy!!! I am covered by the Blood of Jesus and He can't see what that Blood covers!

My prayer is that God would give His Church His eyes, so we can realize not only can God use the broken vessels, but His anointing on an imperfect vessel doesn't diminish the fact that it's HIS ANOINTING... not a man's! I never went to Lakeland for "Todd's Anointing or Mantle" ... I'm looking for the anointing and mantling that comes from Papa God!

The self-righteous, "Cliff Note Historians," throw stones in public and hinder moves that God CAN use... maybe if the stones were laid down, God would begin the process of healing the broken vessels.

MY JOURNEY TO LAKELAND

I didn't make any statements regarding Lakeland UNTIL AFTER I WENT.... some of the statements being made are from those who have NEVER been ... those statements are ludicrous and without basis. They remind me of the quarterbacks who sit in couches and determine the wisest moves for players a thousand miles away. I love the statements of those who went... and accurately described both what WAS God as well as that which maybe they struggled with! Many made the journey from around the earth.... I have been to places across this country, in Africa, in Asia, and in Australia that were thoroughly blessed by what GOD did in their lives through the release of HIS HOLY SPIRIT in Lakeland through BROKEN VESSELS!

It's time for the Body to learn that discernment is not intended to kill and undermine but to build. I think the gravest mistake made in regards to Todd Bentley was the fact that he was hit so hard by so many who maybe could have been his healers, but instead became the very force that wanted to hang him up to dry, expose him, and ridicule him as a fraud. Maybe this could have been alleviated if "broken vessels" could trust that they wouldn't be destroyed by Christian Media, or other leaders, if they walked with transparency, honesty and brokenness; revealing their weakness and need for healing; they might share those weakness' so that others could help. But as long as the waters are unsafe for people with problems...we probably will deal with this again and again.

GLOATING AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

2 Corinthians 5:21 " God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

Proverbs 24:15-18 15 Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against a righteous man's house, do not raid his dwelling place; 16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice,18 or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him.

We as believers are "the righteous".... even after a man "falls" God considers him righteous because of what Jesus did. The church must learn this lesson or we will repeat this over and over and destroy many many of His sons and daughters. TSK TSK - AHA AHA .... are terms not to be found in the Body. It's a lack of understanding Grace. It is in fact something that God discourages. I hope the "kick em now" responses from every corner of the earth will stop, and maybe, just maybe we will figure out what Grace that angels long to understand is all about!

Gloating and perpetuating gloating is never godly... whether to a believer or an unbeliever... the righteous and the enemy... BOTH are places we should never go!

I don't know Todd.... but I do know the working of the Holy Spirit. It's not the first time, or the last time God will use imperfect, and even broken vessels. My recent reading of Scripture tells me that God tends to use imperfect people .... sometimes with glaring issues. I went to Lakeland for GOD not a man. I found EVIDENCE of the Holy Spirit.... and He is enough for me. I discount NOTHING ... just as I don't discount the Jesus People Movement that was released by The Holy Spirit largely through the life of Lonnie Frisbee, whom I met and observed the ministry of the Holy Spirit through his life, even to my own two year old daughter; but who died from AIDS because of issues in his life.

I went to see. I wasn't ever looking for the evidence of Todd.... maybe that is the problem many have - maybe they want to see the perfect Jesus in a perfect man - but all they can see is an imperfect man that Jesus moves through. I simply wanted to see "some" evidence of the Holy Spirit. I never said it was all God... to the contrary, I said it had to be picked through... but God still moved. God always moves on the hungry. Some of the things Todd did were Todd... imperfect, fallible, and obviously with some severe brokenness in his life that still needed to be healed. Was there hype? .... yes.... but I know Christian Magazines and Christian Newsletters that perpetuate hype... just in a different way.... or haven't you seen the advertisements. Maybe we were looking at the wrong thing... maybe we were never intended to be looking at a tattooed, pierced man name Todd.... maybe we need to make sure people don't look at imperfect, fallible, broken Bills', Heidis', Rollands', Bobs', Jeffs', Patricias', Johns' and anyone else you can think of who God uses but who may not be perfect. and focus on the main thing.... "can you see Jesus?"

I WANT TO SEE JESUS!

Maybe WE turned the spotlight on a man and detracted from the obvious work God was trying to do. Maybe WE pulled people from the place of trying to see Jesus, into the place of seeing a man. Maybe the goal is not to be "right" in our judgment, but to be "right" in our Grace that sets people free. Rather than telling the world "we were right all along!"; Maybe WE weren't right in the attention God seemed to be giving to us to look at what was happening in Lakeland... maybe WE saw a man, when GOD was wanting us to see HIM!

Please don't misunderstand me. I am not excusing immoral behavior. I'm not excusing Todd's responsibility, or anyone else who falls, they own it and will need to deal with it in their own lives and hearts ... but I also want the church; and particularly those who more easily carry judgment than mercy-who maybe need a greater revelation of Grace; to back up and remember the ONLY ones who can restore Todd or anyone else is the one who RESTORES GENTLY REALIZING THEY THEMSELVES ARE FALLIBLE AND COULD END UP FALLING TOO!!!! Galatians 6:1

I sure hope that if I am ever in an outpouring of His Grace that touches thousands, and has major effect in MANY places around the world that none of the individuals who are looking for a perfect man come. I pray that those who have no regard for what GOD is doing, but merely use natural eyes to see what man is doing stay far away from those meetings. I hope that none of the same ones who don't want to see God work through weak, broken vessels ever look in the direction of that Revival. I would simply rather them experience what they have so adequately articulated of the God that always moves in "certain ways" in their own offices and homes.

Evidently some have become counselors of God and have advised Him on how he should move in a bonafide Revival. Several of us missed that meeting. Others have vast experience of revival history... they are experts in revival ... HAVING NEVER BEEN IN ONE...or maybe only one! I wonder if God can move in different ways? (sic)

Lord... have mercy on us all.... if the church EVER figures out how to not judge... we just might have a move of God that will reach the world rather than leaving them confused at why a family would undermine itself!

"A house divided cannot stand....." Sadly some would rather bring the words that divide, than produce the words that bring unity..... Lord Help!!!!

Review:
I wasn't sure what to expect with a title like Neko ni Fusen lit. Cat with a balloon, but I was hoping it would be good. And to be honest with you, I have no clue if I'm listening to correct song while reviewing this song xD. I have both the song from the single, and the album and the lengths are completely different, that's what's throwing me off. Despite that though, they sound the same, except for a few differences like length. Alright, with the first sound being a cat's meow, it really speaks to the whole Cat in the title. Anyway it sounds nice, the song is very laid-back but acoustic guitar driven, a nice touch. The vocals were particularly good in this song, and they sounded so adorable; as for the background vocals, well even they sounded nice. The addition guitars during the chorus sounded wonderful as well as the chorus itself, catchy for the most part. This song is great and all, but I still like Biidama more.

One of the firs things that caught my attention with Natsu Sora lit. Summer Sky was the tradition Japanese instrument in the beginning. The song wasn't all that fun and energetic in the beginning but once it began to pick up pace it became much better. Ai's vocals were amazing again, especially during the high notes. I honestly wasn't much of a fan of the chorus. Don't get me wrong is sounded lovely and such, but it was way to slow and laid-back for me. I just need a little more energy from a song. But I did like the song overall, it's just not my favorite.

Overall Review: Neko ni Fusen was a delightful little single. Now I do think that the single needs some work with the whole picture and all, but overall I can't complain. Vocals were fantastic and the single had a general theme. Not to sure about the cover, looks creepy but at least it's not the worse thing ever. A nice and fun single for the LOVE COOK Era.

Michel Monen

Künstliche Intelligenz wird in diesem Paper als die Eigenschaft definiert, nach der ein System festgesetzte Ziele hat, die es versucht durch Handeln zu erreichen, und komplexere Systeme sollten in der Lage sein, die Konsequenzen ihrer Aktionen im Voraus einzuschätzen.
Aus dieser Grundüberlegung zieht der Autor den Schluss, das solche Einheiten gewisse Triebe entwickeln sollten, um auf dem Weg zu ihren Zielen erfolgreich zu sein. Diese Triebe können unter Umständen für Menschen gefährlich werden.
Omohundro nennt 6 mögliche Triebe der KI, die er alle mit schönen, logischen Argumenten (sei es indem er gewisse Eigenschaften von Menschen als Gegenbeispiel nennt oder die Ziele von Schachrobotern aufzeigt) ausführt; da ich das ganze sehr interessant finde gehe ich kurz auf jedes dieser Ziele ein.

1. "Die KI wird sich selbst verbessern wollen"
Spätestens hier denkt jeder an "The Matrix" (den kennt ja jeder! Ein obskurerer Verweis? Bitte: "Welt am Draht").
Kurz gesagt: Das System will zu seinem Ziel; indem es sich selbst verbessert, kommt es schneller und effizienter dort an.
2. "Die KI wird rational sein wollen"
Erklärt sich von selbst, Irrationalität (vor allem in späteren "Inkarnationen", die durch Selbstmodifikation entstehen, z.B. Kinder, die das mühsam erarbeitete Geld ihrer Eltern versaufen - Hallo Papa!) lenkt nur vom Ziel ab.
3. "Die KI wird den Nutzen seiner Funktionen bewahren wollen"
Stimmt nur in einem gewissen Maße, da dieser Trieb mit 1. konkurriert. Seine grundlegenden Funktionen muss das System bewahren, jedoch kann es z.B. Kopien anlegen die dann verändert werden, wie es in der Natur bei der Genduplikation auch geschieht.
4. "Die KI wird gefälschten Nutzen verhindern wollen"
Hier übernehme ich das schöne Beispiel aus dem Text: Wenn man einen Schachroboter baut mit dem Ziel, möglichst viele Spiele zu gewinnen, so könnte er einfach seinen inneren "Spiele gewonnen"-Zähler hochrattern lassen und bequem natürliches Maschinenöl schlürfen gehen.
Allerdings erreicht er so nie sein wahres Ziel - die Maschine wird realisieren, das die Zahl auf dem Zähler niemanden näher zum Ziel bringt, vorausgesetzt die Ziele sind klar und richtig definiert.
5. "Die KI wird sich selbst beschützen wollen"
Ab hier kommen dann die für Menschen gefährlichen Grundtriebe des Systems, wie schon in diversen Filmen und Büchern gezeigt.
Aasimov hat mit seinen drei Gesetzen der Robotik hier vorgegriffen und auch eine simple Lösung dafür gefunden, indem er einfach das menschliche Wohlergehen über den des Systems setzte.
(Allerdings gibt es innerhalb dieser drei Gesetze auch Ausnahmen, näheres gibts wenn man Asimovs Robotergeschichten liest, was ich hiermit offiziell empfohlen habe!)
6. "Die KI wird Ressourcen erlangen und diese effizient nutzen wollen"
Die Ressourcen helfen natürlich beim Weg zum Ziel, auch dieser Trieb kann der Menschheit leicht gefährlich werden.

Das Paper ist einfach zu lesen, bietet (in meinen Augen) schlüssige und interessante Argumente, auch wenn das Thema noch etwas in der Zukunft liegt - noch macht Python nicht einfach so was ich will. Schade.

Bastian sagt:

Ein wirklich interessantes Paper über künstliche Intelligenzen (KI) und ihre Motivationen, eine Ergänzung hätte ich aber noch zu Punkt 3 vorzubringen:

Der Vergleich mit der Genduplikation ist vielleicht etwas ungünstig gewählt, aber im Paper wird kurz darauf eingangen, denn die Evolution der Maschinen hat einen großen Unterschied zu der biologischen Evolution. Die biologische Evolution ist blind, ganz und gar. Sie ist auf kein Ziel gerichtet und erst durch Selektionsdrücke nach der Veränderung/Mutation werden die Positiven aus den Negativen gefiltert. Anders sieht es bei der Evolution der Maschinen aus.

Ganz rational können sie überlegen welche Änderungen welche Konsequenzen mit sich bringen und danach selbst ihren Code so zum positiven abändern. Als kleiner Vergleich zu uns wäre das quasi so, als würden wir unsere DNA/Gene selber dauerhaft zu Lebzeiten ändern und dann vererben können, was weit über gezieltes Züchten von Pflanzen/Tieren hinausgeht.

Der große Unterschied ist also das Evolution in biologischen Systemen durch (auch wenn das vielleicht nicht ganz so elegant klingt) zufällige Mutationen und anschliessende Selektionen, also Try & Error abläuft, während Maschinen zielgerichtet evolvieren können.

 Personalmente yo suelo jugar muy seguido y de hecho últimamente me he dado cuenta que algunos juegos tienen mayor jugabilidad que  otros, y me pregunte, ¿a que se debe esto? Porque el juego puede ser muy bueno, tener buena temática, historia y miles de otras características, pero la jugabilidad cumple un rol de suma importancia.

 La combinación de botones y sus funciones hacen que al jugador le sea mas interesante y agradable jugar, a mi me ha tocado que ciertos juegos requieren una cierta combinación de botones, y la posición de estos es desastrosa… y el resultado de esto es FRUSTRACION. ¿Y que pasa cuando un jugador se frustra seguido por no cumplir el objetivo de juego? Lo deja de jugar. Por lo contrario hay ciertos juegos que son la raja espectaculares, o sea tener una buena Ai y Usabilidad en los controles y en el juego hacen que el jugador diga… este juego la cago!!. Y eso se debe a que la buena función y ubicación de los comandos y/o botones hacen que el juego sea fluido y el jugador quiera más y mas.

Con lo dicho puedo concluir que la Ai y Usabilidad cumple una labor mycho mas alla que la simple Web si no en todo orden de cosas, haciendo las cosas fáciles, difíciles, entretenidas o tediosas, todo va en su planteamiento.

The Sci-Fi Channel blog says that autonomous choppers developed at Standford University are teaching each other to fly better than a human pilot.

The announcement embraces two common subtexts in media coverage of robotic technologies: that robots will soon be our betters, and that they can be trustworthy as they carry out their benign missions overhead.

Stanford says "there is interest in using autonomous helicopters to search for land mines in war-torn areas or to map out the hot spots of California wildfires in real time."

That kind of language is the military's way of easing robot killing machines into our consciences. The choppers will follow the Predator into the killing business soon enough.

DVICE: Stanfords robotic helicopters teach each other tricks, fly better than a human
Crazily enough, the helicopters used aren't fancy at all. They're just store-bought RC helicopters, with the complex innards added by the Stanford students.

Every year, millions of people suffer as a result of the irresponsible arms trade

In some countries people are still put to death by firing squads. A clear link exists between firearms and the death penalty and you can help break it.

Please support the Control Arms Campaign.

Play our new game and spread the word

With your help, we can push governments to support an Arms Trade Treaty that will effectively regulate the deadly trade in conventional weapons, and prevent weapons getting into the hands of those who commit serious human rights violations.

Tell your government that the world is watching, it's time for an Arms Trade Treaty

Since the launch of the Control Arms Campaign in October 2003 by Amnesty International, Oxfam and the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA), Control Arms has gathered the support of over a million ordinary people around the world calling for an Arms Trade Treaty. December 2006 marked a great success for the campaign when 153 governments voted at the United Nations to start work on developing a global Arms Trade Treaty. We are now at a critical stage in the campaign. We need to keep up the momentum in the lead up to the United Nations General Assembly in October 2008 by telling governments that “The World is Watching” and monitoring what action states will take towards an Arms Trade Treaty. We need your help to build support for an effective Arms Trade Treaty with human rights at its heart!
