Has anyone built any truly compelling things for kids (age 4 - 12) with all the gen AI stuff yet, beyond shallow gimmicks? Any success stories?

People working on Reinforcement Learning or AI safety that don't have kids can not be taken serious. Anyone with small kids knows that "preventing agents hacking the reward function" or "designing agent incentives to avoid reward tampering" is categorically impossible and it is ok.

Why would I learn to paint with pen & paper and feel relaxed & joyful doing it, when I can generate an image using an AI that uses the same amount of electricity & water as a small village, just so I can share it on social media where people notice it for 2 sec?

Traditional African Instruments are far more advanced than any AI music tools in key ways:
- Ideal for group performance, that builds friendship & community
- Easy to learn but takes a lifetime to perfect. Ideal for deep practice.
- No electricity required & lasts for decades

The idea that AI will revolutionize healthcare is popular but likely wrong: The western socio-economic systems has no incentive for "curing patients cheaply" as it isn't a "sustainable business model". AI might make healthcare more profitable for corporations but worse for people.

"Open Source AI" is an oxymoronic, purposely misleading term. From electricity generation, chip fabs, and cloud infra, to data and software - none of it is truly "open". The entire game is rigged from the gecko and stealth owned by very few - the rest is just marketing.

When asked about their hopes for artificial general intelligence (AGI), many proponents cite aspirations to 'make the world a better place'. Upon closer examination, the specifics often involve improving health & reducing suffering globally. Yet, attempting to convey that such aims are achievable today at scale through highly accessible low-tech solutions, mostly falls on deaf ears. Why is that?

To conduct and support high tech genocide with unfettered brutality & simultaneously babble something about the rise of "artificial super intelligence", is a clear sign of societal stupidity & accelerating degeneration.

Ancient dreams in a modern land
Amidst the increasingly insane AI-driven late-capitalist narrative, it's crucial to reconsider our roots for balance. Instead of succumbing to the madness, we can focus on reviving ancient practices: Dance with the witches, cultivate medicinal plants, worship trees and sacred spaces. Let's prioritize connection with nature and our love ones over the sterile confines of silicon servers hidden in a military data-center.

People that say they have great intuition about higher dimensions are either lying or work in AI - in which case they are high dimensionally lying.

Most have not noticed yet, that it is entirely possible now to cheaply execute a large scale bureaucratic DDOS attack against all governments.

China Puts Trust in AI To Maintain Largest High-Speed Rail Network on Earth
China is using AI in the operation of its 45,000km (28,000-mile) high-speed rail network, with the technology achieving several milestones, according to engineers involved in the project. From a report:
An AI system in Beijing is processing vast amounts of real-time data from across the country and can alert maintenance teams of abnormal situations within 40 minutes, with an accuracy as high as 95 per cent, they said in a peer-reviewed paper. "This helps on-site teams conduct reinspections and repairs as quickly as possible," wrote Niu Daoan, a senior engineer at the China State Railway Group's infrastructure inspection centre, in the paper published by the academic journal China Railway.
In the past year, none of China's operational high-speed railway lines received a single warning that required speed reduction due to major track irregularity issues, while the number of minor track faults decreased by 80 per cent compared to the previous year. According to the paper, the amplitude of rail movement caused by strong winds also decreased -- even on massive valley-spanning bridges -- with the application of AI technology. [...] According to the paper, after years of effort Chinese railway scientists and engineers have "solved challenges" in comprehensive risk perception, equipment evaluation, and precise trend predictions in engineering, power supply and telecommunications. The result was "scientific support for achieving proactive safety prevention and precise infrastructure maintenance for high-speed railways," the engineers said.
