ChatGPT Will Won't Save The World by Alasdair Gilchrist
English | July 14, 2023 | ISBN: 822704307X | 302 pages | EPUB | 2.24 Mb
Who's a Pretty Polymath then?

ChatGPT exploded onto the market around the end of 2022. It was a sensation, an absolute wonder. The laypersons were agog, this Chatbot app could do anything, it was a polymath with great writing skills, it was incredible, breathtaking, What was this magic?
In a way, it was, as it is a neural network, which are complex, opaque, and unexplainable even to the scientists who built and train them. Moreover, some of the vast dataset it was trained upon was of unknown provenance, veracity, or integrity as it had been recklessly scraped from all corners of the internet in the largest theft of intellectual property the world has been witness to. But things are far worse as there are serious ethical issues surrounding OpenAI use of that misappropriated data; from the sanitization of the dataset, through exploitive unethical practices in data labeling, to the unconscionable effect this chatbot is having, and will further have, on the rights of individual, society, and the environment.
To deflect the narrative away from these threats the AI Industry cunningly used another piece of magic, a sleight of hand so to speak. The goal is to steer the narrative away from these inherent ethical failings. The Generative AI builders' and advocates conjured up the old 'AI existential threat' argument as a knowingly informed deceit. Technocrats also signed letters seeking an urgent hiatus in AI development that stank of being hypocritical and self-serving. Other Technocrats penned essays; along the lines of, 'AI will Save the World', no less. Another deceit based upon the fallacy that AI technology will benefit all mankind and children will all have equal opportunities through AI personal mentors. It fails to reflect upon Technology's passed record where it benefits some (makes the wealthy super-wealthy through wage and wealth inequality but never makes any significant dent in the social demographic. Indeed the poor are getting poorer and growing as a percentage each year, so much for the golden age of technology. The lack of empathy that today's technocrats have with society as a whole, is astonishing. It's kind of like Marie Antoinette's, ignorant response to be told that the people were hungry and couldn't afford bread, 'Well, let them eat cake!'
For us to understand ChatGPT and the Technocrats' objectives we will need to understand OpenAI's motivation and intentions, and importantly we need to understand its architecture. Not for us but for the sake of the planet. In March ChatGPT became powered by GPT-4. But this is no incremental evolutionary step, this is a quantum leap with a destination unknown.
The hype surrounding OpenAi's ChatGPT is dizzying and mesmerizing, and the costs involved in development and operation tear blinking. But for all that, it isn't really clever. It is a predictive Parrot albeit a very persuasive and convincing one.
In this book, we will analyze ChatGPT and its underlying Large Language Models to see just how they work and how well they deliver, commercially, technically, financially, and strategically for us the individual, or for small and medium businesses. The hype surrounding OpenAi's ChatGPT is dizzying and mesmerizing, and the costs involved in development and operation tear blinking. and a major threat to the planet.
The goal of this book is to do just that. It is not to devalue but to sensibly try to peer through the fog of hype and forensically evaluate the true worth of the chatbot. To determine ChatGPT's practical and viable utility and realistic value and to hopefully catch a glimpse of what the future of generative AI beholds.

Conscious in a Vegetative State? A Critique of the PVS Concept By Peter McCullagh (auth.)
2005 | 354 Pages | ISBN: 1402026293 | PDF | 2 MB
Having been originally introduced as a term to facilitate discussion of a specific group of patients regarded as entering a state of unawareness following coma, the 'Persistent Vegetative State' (PVS) has established itself as an apparently discrete medical condition with clear-cut implications for ethicists and lawyers that exceed any scientifically based understanding. As a consequence of this upgrading, conclusions drawn about the status and hence the management of this uncommon condition have been increasingly extended to other patients with much more common forms of disability. This book traces the origins of prevailing perceptions about PVS and submits these to critical examination. In doing this it comes to the conclusion that inadequate attention has been paid to acknowledging what is not known about affected individuals and that assumptions have consistently come to be traded as facts. Re-examination of the basis of the PVS and the adoption of a more scientific approach is long overdue and is owed to the community at large which has generally been provided by many medical practitioners with a 'dumbed-down' account of the condition. The book will be of interest to philosophers, medical graduates and neuroscientists but is also intended to remain accessible to the general reader with an interest in the wider implications of trends in medical thinking for attitudes towards many classes of patient. It has an extensive bibliography and will be of specific interest to bioethicists and lawyers with professional interests in PVS.

Constellation of Genius: 1922: Modernism Year One by Kevin Jackson
English | September 17, 2013 | ISBN: 9780374128982 | 448 pages | PDF | 2.72 Mb
Ezra Pound referred to 1922 as Year One of a new era. It was the year that began with the publication of James Joyce's Ulysses and ended with the publication of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, two works that were arguably "the sun and moon" of modernist literature, some would say of modernity itself.

In Constellation of Genius, Kevin Jackson puts the titanic achievements of Joyce and Eliot in the context of the world in which their works first appeared. As Jackson writes in his introduction, "On all sides, and in every field, there was a frenzy of innovation." It is in 1922 that Hitchcock directs his first feature; Kandinsky and Klee join the Bauhaus; the first AM radio station is launched; Walt Disney releases his first animated shorts; and Louis Armstrong takes a train from New Orleans to Chicago, heralding the age of modern jazz. On other fronts,
Einstein wins the Nobel Prize in Physics, insulin is introduced to treat diabetes, and the tomb of Tutankhamun is discovered. As Jackson writes, the sky was "blazing with a 'constellation of genius' of a kind that had never been known before, and has never since been rivaled."
Constellation of Genius traces an unforgettable journey through the diaries of the actors, anthropologists, artists, dancers, designers, filmmakers, philosophers, playwrights, politicians, and scientists whose lives and works―over the course of twelve months―brought a seismic shift in the way we think, splitting the cultural world in two. Was this a matter of inevitability or of coincidence? That is for the reader of this romp, this hugely entertaining chronicle, to decide.

Alan J. Kuperman, "Constitutions and Conflict Management in Africa: Preventing Civil War Through Institutional Design "
English | ISBN: 0812246586 | 2015 | 304 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Each of Africa's countries has a different constitutional design, is characterized by a unique culture and history, and faces different stresses that threaten to undermine political stability. Presenting the first database of constitutional design in all African countries, along with seven original case studies, Constitutions and Conflict Management in Africa explores the types of domestic political institutions that can buffer societies from destabilizing changes that otherwise increase the risk of violence.

With detailed comparative studies of Burundi, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, and Zimbabwe, contributing scholars identify key turning points at which a state's political institutions either mitigated or escalated the effects of economic, environmental, demographic, and political shocks. They find that stability can be promoted by various constitutional designs-not only by accommodative institutions that encourage decentralization and multiculturalism, but also by the integrative, centralized designs that characterize the constitutions of most African countries. The greatest danger may arise from partial or inequitable accommodation that can exacerbate societal tensions, culminating in violence up to and including civil war and genocide. Accordingly,

Jean-Francois Pommaret, "Deformation Theory of Algebraic and Geometric Structures"
English | 2016 | pages: 196 | ISBN: 3330004924 | DJVU | 1,4 mb
S. Lie discovered in 1890 the "Lie pseudogroups", namely the groups of transformations solutions of systems of partial differential (PD) equations. During the next fifty years, these groups have only been studied by E. Cartan and E. Vessiot but the "Vessiot structure equations" are still unknown today. In the meantime, a "formal theory" of systems of PD equations has been pioneered by M. Janet in 1920. Then, the physicists E. Inonu and E.P. Wigner introduced in 1953 the concept of "deformation of a Lie algebra" by considering the speed of light as a parameter in the Lorentz composition of speeds. This idea led to the "deformation theory of algebraic structures" and the first applications of computer algebra. A few years later, a "deformation theory of geometric structures" has been introduced by D.C. Spencer and coworkers who used the formal theory of PD equations they had developped for studying "Lie pseudogroups". The existence of a link between these two deformation theories has been conjectured but never found. This book solves this conjecture for the first time by using new mathematical methods. It will be of interest for students and researchers in mathematics and physics.

Z.T. Bieniawski, "Design Methodology in Rock Engineering"
English | 1992 | pages: 211 | ISBN: 9054101210, 9054101261 | PDF | 42,2 mb
The first comprehensive treatment of the subject of design methodology in rock engineering, this book emphasizes that a good designer needs not only knowledge for designing (technical knowledge) but also must have knowledge about designing (an appropriate process to follow). Design methodology is today recognized in most fields as crucial to the success of a new product, process, or construction project.

This unique book starts with an appraisal of current trends concerning global design activities and competitiveness and gives an insight into how designers design. The state of the art in engineering design is given with a detailed exposé of all significant design theories and methodologies. It then presents a design methodology specifically for rock engineering and demonstrates its practical use on the basis of important case histories. To preserve the momentum of the design message, design education is also discussed. A separate chapter is devoted to skills development, presenting the designer with an extensive repertoire of widely available tools and concepts. The Appendix lists a compendium of useful design charts for rock engineering, traced after a thorough literature search. A Bibliography concludes the book with an up-to-date list of references.
