If you've ever read Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, then you're likely familiar with the concept of Psychohistory. Psychohistory suggests that over long periods, civilizations face recurring crises. These crises have the potential to either make or break a society, depending on how they are handled. If mismanaged, they can fracture empires into smaller states or territories ruled by warlords. On the other hand, if navigated successfully, these crises can strengthen a civilization. A key idea in psychohistory is that it is possible to predict such crises. If one can foresee the problems on the horizon, solutions can be devised to help society overcome them. Recent Crises In The United States In recent years, the United States has experienced two significant crises. The first was the COVI...

MI6 and CIA using Gen AI to combat tech-driven threats

From the article: CIA director Bill Burns and UK Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) chief Richard Moore have for the first time penned a joint opinion piece in which the two spookmasters reveal their agencies have adopted generative AI. "We are now using AI, including generative AI, to enable and improve intelligence activities – from summarization to ideation to helping identify key information in a sea of data," the pair wrote in the Financial Times. "We are training AI to help protect and 'red team' our own operations to ensure we can still stay secret when we need to. We are using cloud technologies so our brilliant data scientists can make the most of our data, and we are partnering with the most innovative companies in the US, UK and around the world," they added. submitted...

Elon Musk’s xAI Colossus: The Massive Energy Demands Behind the New Supercomputer

From Business Insider's article: It's unclear whether Colossus runs 100,000 GPUs at the same time, which would require sophisticated networking technology and a lot of energy. "Musk previously said the 100,000-chip cluster was up and running in late June," The Information reported. "But at that time, a local electric utility said publicly that xAI only had access to a few megawatts of power from the local grid." Last month, CNBC reported that an environmental advocacy group had said that xAI was running gas turbines to produce more power for its data center without authorization. The outlet reported that the Southern Environmental Law Center wrote in a letter to the local health department that xAI had installed and was operating at least 18 unpermitted turbines, "with more potentially on...
