Keeping up in this new generative mega-multi-meta-DAO-verse makes it hard to quantum all that spatial neural netting. You down with GPT? Ya, you know me. That's why I package up a small part of the internet that catches my eye, percolates my thoughts, stirs my mind and share it with you from time to time.

.::\ The 22nd Edition /::.
Welcome to another edition of Token Wisdom where explore the spellbinding world of technology, science, and human cognition. From the 37th week of 2023 the intriguing intersection of artificial intelligence and human intelligence, discussing the unique capabilities of the human mind that AI still struggles to replicate, and how AI, with its computational power and scalability, can complement and enhance human intelligence. Then we touch on the importance of ethics in AI, highlighted by a short film that I snuck in by Garson Ormiston, and discuss the need for robust regulation in the AI industry, as advocated by Mustafa Suleyman of Inflection.
On the scientific front, we'll discuss a groundbreaking study that discovered spiraling waves of activity in the human brain, offering a new perspective on how our brains process information. In the realm of physics, we'll check out the exciting development of a method to perform the fractional Fourier Transform of optical pulses using quantum memory, a breakthrough that could have potentially huge applications in telecommunications and spectroscopy.
Also, we cover some important legal and environmental issues; we discuss the copyright showdown between US publishers and Library Genesis, an online platform accused of large-scale copyright infringement, and explore the environmental cost of Apple Park's parking structures after their Status Update with Mother Nature.
In the world of 3D design, a look at how technological advancements are democratizing the industry and making high-quality 3D content creation accessible to all.
And then as per usual, we showcase a valuable crescent wrench you can keep in your tool belt. This week we’re showcasing, Deep Motion, an AI Motion Capture and Body Tracking software. And then a quick pit stop for some Time Well Spent with our showcased video of the week.
So, sit back, relax, and join us on this discovery of knowledge and understanding.
Loyally,
Your friendly neighborhood, Khayyam 🌶

KHAYYAM’S HOT TAKE

A team of researchers at the University of Chicago have unlocked the potential of quantum dots in emitting infrared light, paving the way for a new generation of cost-effective and efficient sensors.“You don’t need to reinvent the wheel.”
"Philippe Guyot-Sionnest, a professor of physics and chemistry at the University of Chicago, and his team have been looking into the possibilities of leveraging quantum dots to create infrared light."
The implies potential, but it is important to evaluate the claims made in the overview. Quantum dots emitting infrared light has potential, however scalability, manufacturing processes, and the sensors' performance in real-world applications must be considered to determine cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
Additionally, the overview should contextualize this breakthrough compared to other emerging technologies, such as nanomaterials, AI, and machine learning. Further, potential limitations, challenges, and risks must be assessed, including quantum dots' stability and durability, potential toxicity, and sensors' long-term reliability.
To properly assess this technology, more research and evidence are required, as well as an understanding of limitations and challenges.

“Deep Motion’s Animate 3D will completely revolutionize the way you create animations, it totally did for me. It’s nice not to have super expensive equipment or rigging or suits! The new hand and face tracking, physics simulation, and other advanced features has given me the flexibility to create any hi-fi 3D animations with ease. The Rotoscope Pose Editor is an absolute game-changer. You want accuracy? Done.”

Art Meets AI: A Creative Journey with Mid-Journey's Version 5.2
Exploring AI image generation with artist names as prompts is like going on a blind date. You have some idea of what to expect based on the name, but the actual encounter can be full of surprises, sometimes aligning with your expectations, and other times veering off into unanticipated directions
This video explores image generation with mid-journey's version 5.2, prompting 100 artists names with a word like landscape, portrait or architecture. The images generated have aspects of the original works of each artist, but are unique enough to be difficult to identify which artist was used in the prompt. The video showcases the variety of styles that can be created when combining different artists and styles together.
It features works by Italian, First Nation, Ukrainian-American, French, German, Swedish, Danish, and Lithuanian artists such as Alberto Arnoldi, Alex Jeanvier, Alexander Archipenko, Alfred Menesia, Alfred Rethel, Jawn, Antonietta Raphael Mafai, Artemisia Gentileski, Airban, Bernard Bennett, Bettina Werner, Bill Brandt, Bruce McLean, Bruno Monari, Kareith Win Evans, Charles E. Perugini, Charles Lancia, Christian Shad, Christopher Would, Claire Layton, Donald Sultan, Edmund Charles Tarbell, Eduardo Chileder, Edward Borden, Elaine de Kooning, Elena Fortescue Brickdale, Elias Gruner, Elma Bischoff, Elm Green and Dragset, Emil Carlson, and Eve Linda Morgan.
I had no idea of so many of these. Also, what a wonderful way to really see the comparison and application of “style.”

Today's accomplishments in technology and science are impressive. Our ability to understand brain function via complex wave patterns and leverage groundbreaking sensors reveal endless possibilities. However, it's also essential to remember the importance of ethical, responsible conduct when it comes to the human element.
Innovation often involves navigating difficult ethical issues, such as AI sentience, copyright in digital libraries, and environmental impact of architecture. We must consider these challenges when pursuing advances in technology and science, and stay grounded in ethical responsibility.
We cannot overlook the significance of alternate views and counter-arguments; our conversations illustrate that every narrative has more than a solitary angle. The AI that might seem threatening to one person could be a tool of empowerment for another. The copyright infringement seen by one publisher could be a beacon of access and equality for countless students.
And now, for our weekly Token Wisdom: In the pursuit of progress, let's remember that our greatest strength lies not in our technologies, but in our humanity. It's our ability to question, to empathize, and to consider the ethical implications of our actions that sets us apart. So, as we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what's possible, let's ensure we're doing so with a keen eye on the impact we're having on our world and each other.
Until we meet again, keep pondering, exploring, and, above all, keep growing.
