Is baryonic matter detected via radiation?

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that makes up more than half of the universe's mass. It doesn't interact with light, so it's invisible and can't be directly detected. Scientists have inferred its existence through its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as stars and galaxies. While its exact nature is still unknown, it's believed to be...

I think government and industry will strive for broad AI out of pressure to innovate and compete. AI Algorithms have had biases and chatbots have been developed with racist tones.
Humanity will be in danger if AI becomes superintelligent in the broad AI scenario. -

The death of a cow on a West Sussex farm in 1984 is believed to have caused the rise of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease.

AI refers to the intelligence exhibited by machines or software, enabling them to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This includes a wide range of applications such as expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, machine vision, and other tasks.
In 3 words: machine intelligence simulation.

The relationship between reason and emotion are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Instead, they can interact and influence each other in various ways. The discussion around the reason-emotion binary is complex and has implications for how we understand and navigate the roles of reason and emotion in different aspects of life and society.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are computer models inspired by the human brain. They are made up of interconnected nodes, like brain cells, and are used to learn from data. ANNs can be trained to recognise patterns, make predictions, and solve problems. They are used in various applications, such as image and speech recognition.

Money is not the number one route to happiness and success.
However, it normally comes in at a close second.
In a practical sense, wealth just creates options and convenience. -

If the public are assured that taxes pay for the services and amenities publicly needed, I am sure people would be a bit more accepting.
Because taxes are not usually reduced and the services and amenities tend to be reduced, I think there is a problem of mistrust. -
The Post-Keynesian school of thought believes that there is not always a scarcity of resources in the economy. It argues that the economy often has an abundance of resources and is not always running at full capacity. Moreover, it emphasises the role of effective demand in driving the economy, rather than the allocation of scarce resources. It also suggests...
