EurekAI... Neural network leads chemists to discover 'four new materials' Chemists have discovered four new materials based on ideas generated from a neural network, according to research published in Nature. Uncovering new materials is challenging. Scientists have to search for combinations of molecules that lead to useful compounds that can be manufactured. Traditional methods rely on fiddling …
Skynet is already here. British MOD comms.
LOL, thanks for the laugh. If BOWMAN was a guide to their sterling advances in communication technology I think I'll take a blanket along for smoke signals. It was very funny to watch a couple of US military chaps coming to the UK for a meeting realise just how fantastically evolved UK in-theatre communication was. You literally saw the life force drain from their faces..
If SkyNet is depending on UK MOD to get something sensible to work, Arnie the Terminator is at least a couple of centuries away from having a job.
MoD SKYNET is actually very good - the Skynet-5 spacecraft (now reaching the end of their original operational life) had enormous communications capacity, something the US tapped into from time to time. The only real problem is the PFI system under which they were brought into service, and we have a certain G. Brown to thank for that!
Watch this space for the next generation Skynet spacecraft!
Now terrestrial systems like BOWMAN are bad, albeit not quite as much as some people think (I know several ex-Signals Regt who have commented on it); again this can be blamed on the same person as above who thought he could pay for a clapped-out banger and get a brand new smart limo.
Back when I was an undergrad, our chem prof told us that they were replacing hundreds of experimental chemists with a single computational chemist and just needed to retain a few to verify results. Now it seems hundreds of computational chemists can be replaced with an AI chemist. Ain't progress grand?
