CAPTCHA -
Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.

Making Artificial Intelligence smarter.


When you answer a CAPTCHA prompt to prove you are human by choosing which parts of a picture contain crosswalks, traffic signals, stop signs, etc…you are helping AI to get better at autonomous driving by using human input to help identify road features and hazards.

Okay, so this is pretty cool. I work in another field of AI and am going to definitely be going down this rabbit hole at some point.
I love crowd sourced computer vision 😊

Tis rumoured the other style of CAPTCHA where they ask you to enter the numbers and letters you can see (usually seen in different fonts and forms, many hard to distinguish) was/is a contributing factor in the human crowd sourced algorithm programming that aids the AI‘s digitisation of real world manuscripts and literary works..
Although CAPTCHA and google have publicly denied it. From a programming point of view the raw data harvested during such “Security verification tests” is Gold for AI and algorithm parameter inputs.
The evidence of successful real world application of such trust certificate programming can be clearly seen in Driverless cars ability to hit everything except traffic lights,fire hydrants and bicycles…….
 
Photonics a long time ago….. Imagine where we’re at now with photonics, fibreoptics, metacrystals, computing and the other Un Funded Opportunities being tinkered with away from prying eyes and shoddy youtube vids yo..

new plasticky-metallic stuff new to science.. the atoms of the metallic elements aren't tightly packed in straight lines but are all over the place but still conduct electricity. It's malleability and manufacturing at room temperature opens the doors to all manner of new uses. It's the Play-Doh of electronics and will have to come up with a better name than ‘Intrinsic glassy-metallic transport in an amorphous coordination polymer’, as it is called in an article published in Nature today.

Interesting post. Start a contest for best name for the new 'intrinsic......polymer'.

I just quit a boat electrics group when someone replied with 'there is always a level of risk no matter who has done the work'. If I told my boss that, I'd be fired on the spot!
But it's true. You just don't tell people that. Professionals can minimize that risk. But there is always risk.
