futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-31 13:07:16

For years, the concept of AI consciousness has remained on the fringes, with all but the most powerful proponents of the theory being laughed out of public life. In reality, opponents point out, the current generation of AI is nothing more than extremely complex statistics — detecting patterns in training data like written materials or imagery so subtle that it can reproduce similar patterns going forward. That can produce a compelling imitation of consciousness, but there's no reason to believ

Finding a cheap secondary PC monitor is pretty easy. But if you want one that looks good, is built well, and is easily customizable, you won't find those qualities in a budget screen from a no-name brand on Amazon. Instead, Corsair's Xeneon Edge is a premium alternative that almost justifies its $250 price tag.

Doublefine’s Keeper may have the most endearing videogame double-act since Banjo and Kazooie

It’s been a while since Tim Schafer’s done press briefings, he admits. The head of Double Fine, a studio best known for the Psychonauts series, is trying to explain Keeper, a puzzle adventure game where you are, literally, a sentient, walking lighthouse. Double Fine is now one of several studios bought up by Microsoft and the team apparently took the opportunity to lean into all the resources available and, he said, “make something weird.” It’s definitely that.

But in some ways, the proof was a bit unsatisfying. Jitomirskaya and Avila had used a method that only applied to certain irrational values of alpha. By combining it with an intermediate proof that came before it, they could say the problem was solved. But this combined proof wasn’t elegant.
