2005. Selected Links and Important Thoughts: A great read into the
so-called “Artificial Intelligence”. Here
is an excerpt: “Considering the disastrous state of information on the
internet today, language models are already suffering from a kind of Mad Cow
Disease. Just as cows in the 1990s got sick from being fed bone meal and meat
from other cows, so language models are degenerating as they are programmed
based on data from the internet, where there is already so much data produced
by other language models, in particular ChatGPT, that errors can swell to the
point of incomprehensibility. Just as Mad Cow Disease contaminated humans, AI
is definitely contaminating us.” Zhores
I. Alferov the
father of heterostructures and Nobel
Laureate has much to say in this interview on important topics such
as science, academic openness, scientific collaboration, pedagogy, role of
state in funding research, and politics (click on the photo): And
continue on watching the interview with Professor Linus Pauling: When
the war-mongers are as loud as ever, one longs for prominent peace-loving
voices. Here is a by
far timeless video of a 1958 debate Professor Pauling had in defense of peace, An
interesting paragraph, from a very interesting book by John D. Bernal (The
social function of science): Pages
of 141-147 of The
social function of science provide a beautiful and after so many years
since publication, still applicable insight into “Stifling of Science” and
the role played by the law of patents. Read also the part on “Private
Benevolence” on page 319. In addition, sections on “Social Science and
Psychology” and “The Future of Science” are highly inspiring (pp.
341-344). -
Food for thought during the time of pandemic: “When
one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results,
we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury
would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of
proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an
unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by
the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life,
places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through
the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death
ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of
victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is
murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised,
malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does
not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of
the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission
than of commission. But murder it remains.” From
“The Condition of the Working Class in England”, F. Engels. -

Bang-e
Nei, H. A. Sayeh A
commentary written in Jan. 2023: -
An excerpt from my hero, my uncle, on the 20th
anniversary of his passing: -
An excerpt from the SONG ABOUT THE GOOD PEOPLE, by Bertolt
Brecht: One
knows the good people by the fact That
they get better When
one knows them. The good people Invite
one to improve them, for How
does anyone get wiser? By listening And
by being told something. -
A quote from Paul Langevin: The
scientific work which I can do, can be done, and will be done by others,
possibly soon,
possibly not for some years; but unless the political work is done there will be no
science at all. -
Great recent reads! Real militant unions are as always
important in no matter what you do.

excerpt from “The Long Deep Grudge”: “So
far as money is concerned, the scales are loaded against us. So far as
everything else goes- we have all the power” (Jerry Fielde one of the leaders
of the FE union) |
