new Autonomous agents aren’t yet ready for widespread enterprise use, but they are clearly on the immediate horizon. Experts estimate autonomous agents will be ready to go mainstream within three to five years. In fact, just a few weeks ago, OpenAI launched its custom chatbots, capable of using external application programming interface (API) calls, where one application requests data or services from another for information retrieval and execution of simple actions through external systems. These systems are not autonomous agents in a literal sense, as they cannot yet operate on the basis of higher-order goals. They are, however, strongly indicative of the trajectory of GenAI development, from stand-alone LLMs to autonomous agents capable of sensing and acting on their environments to achieve a given objective. — Fortune, 9h ago

new Doraemon embodies a specific fantasy about AI. Distinct from reparative visions of technology designed to mediate or cure impairments for people with disability, workshop participants uniformly envisioned care robots that would effectively replicate and amplify the role of a human companion, providing practical embodied care, emotional nurturing, and behavioral surveillance and control. This vision of an AI-driven disability-care future is specific to caregivers and does not necessarily reflect the perspective of persons with disabilities themselves. Yet it also highlights the distance between fantasy and the everyday experience of technology in contexts of care, which often feature obstructive devices, complex electronic forms and apps, and streaming entertainment. This crosses over even to the vibe of much consumer-oriented AI: corporatized soft-selling avatars and generic chatbots that assume a neurotypical Western human subject. This imagined AI is instead grounded, domestic, whimsical, protective, and ultimately sympathetic. It has independent agency but expresses it through attachment to a single individual and their world. — Montreal AI Ethics Institute, 1d ago

new There’s been a lot of talk about AGI lately—artificial general intelligence—the much-coveted AI development goal that every company in Silicon Valley is currently racing to achieve. AGI refers to a hypothetical point in the future when AI algorithms will be able to do most of the jobs that humans currently do. According to this theory of events, the emergence of AGI will bring about fundamental changes in society—ushering in a “post-work” world, wherein humans can sit around enjoying themselves while robots do most of the heavy lifting. If you believe the headlines, OpenAI’s recent palace intrigue may have been partially inspired by a breakthrough in AGI—the so-called “Q” program—which sources close to the startup claim was responsible for the power struggle. — Gizmodo, 2d ago

new Blade Runner unfolds and is perceived as “a moving image of skepticism,” to borrow an expression from the philosopher Stanley Cavell. It does not cast doubt on the reality of the world (a classic theme of skepticism, as seen in films from the 1990s like Matrix, The Truman Show and EXistenZ) but rather doubt on humanity and the reality of others. As the replicant Zhora asks Rick Deckard when he unmasks her, “Are you for real?” The process of eliminating replicants begins with detection, a test to prove whether or not they are human. The central point of the film, established (significantly) in the very first scenes, is the basis of the “Voight-Kampff” tests, designed to detect the abnormal, “non-empathetic” reactions of androids. In this vision of the future, as in more recent ones, robots are capable of emotion, humor, social interaction, and even self-awareness. (Rachael is deeply upset when she finds out that she is not human, and the Nexus 6 rebels are aware of their condition and want to change it.) The androids want to improve their situation. This raises the question of the morality of denying them human status, since humanity is in fact defined by the capacity to have feelings and interact with others rather than by modes of production or other criteria. Ultimately, the procedures for defining and limiting what is human (which lead to the elimination of replicants) are themselves inhuman. — CNRS News, 2d ago

new INFRASTRUCTURE opportunities centered on increasing access to composting/food scrap hauling services. Increasing the number of free drop off locations located at farmers markets, gardens, churches, public parks, and schools was mentioned numerous times possibly indicating a belief that this might be the easiest or quickest approach to the adoption of composting if “ drop-off sites [were] in every neighborhood .” More gardens could also host on-site community composting if they had money available to pay stewards. Increasing municipal collection ( "Bins for All!") and community composting efforts and expanding options for home composting and for renters were all mentioned as options to increase access as was the development of a compost (service) directory. Regardless of how access to composting services was increased it should be affordable as “[you] shouldn't have to pay to do right thing.” Opportunities to utilize more appropriate technology abound including using AI for sorting to reduce contamination, developing rat-proof bins (for collection and home composting), using biodigesters, and perhaps creating a new type of facility to handle (plastic-based) ‘compostable’ (biodegradable) serve-ware. To support the development of infrastructure opportunities incentives such as "raising landfill tipping fees [or creating a] methane tax on private LF owners" and funding such as the "potential to pursue Federal funding to pilot creative programs" are critical. Increasing collaboration and coordination is also an opportunity to develop infrastructure with at least one participant wondering, “ Where is regional planning org? (e.g. CMAP)” and now is the time to increase collaboration because "passion exists among food producers in the region who need soil!!" Rather than looking to individual households for new sources of materials to make compost, restaurants, breweries, and landscapers and other large food waste generators could be better engaged and plugged in to composting perhaps driving or at least raising awareness of the issue for individual households. Attendees also mentioned as opportunities new places to process and acquire compost or new ways to handle food waste that included empty warehouses and factories, vacant lots, big box stores offering pickup of compost and drop off of scraps and sending food waste from large institutions to hog farms 4 . A list of comments on Opportunities in Infrastructure are displayed in Table 8, Appendix 1. POLICY opportunities included creating mandates for large generators (such as grocery stores, food processors, schools and universities) to compost and for public projects (roads, landscaping, buildings) to use finished compost. These two policy changes have the power to directly increase demand and may work to create a consistent end market for finished compost. There may exist a scalar mismatch in the region for compost— demand by individual consumers may be too small to justify the amount of effort it takes to create the compost so there needs to be "more emphasis on getting more finished compost to market." Other opportunities to increase demand for the finished product and access to services include passing Right to Compost legislation “so that building managers and landlords don't stand in the way" of their residents using compost pick up services; instituting bans and creating incentives and/or disincentives such as increasing landfill tipping fees ; and incentivizing compost usage by farmers and public works. Creating consistent, stable, and expanded end markets for finished compost and the support for processing infrastructure is extremely important when implementing policies that would increase the amount of feedstock available to create compost. Policy opportunities that did not require a large lift included creating new or expanding existing programs as "many municipalities already accept leaves & lawn clippings. Expanding to collecting food waste scraps is low- hanging fruit" and ensuring that funding is sufficient especially for creating technical assistance positions to support compost collection and processing. Also identified as an opportunity is to increase regional coordination... — extension.org, 2d ago

new Anticipate additional bot attacks in 2024. Bots have the ability to propagate malware and/or ransomware to devices, which can be dangerous and self-replicating. Through web servers, network bridges, Wi-Fi routers, and antivirus software, attackers frequently target machines that are not protected by firewalls and/or anti-virus software. Bots impersonate actual users to steal PII, overload systems, scrape IP, and do other malicious activities. Thanks to developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence, bot nets can now easily automate and scale up cyberattacks quickly. Cybercriminals are also using an increasingly popular Bot-as-a-Service to outsource attacks.
