CIA finds no ‘worldwide campaign’ by any foreign power behind mysterious Havana syndrome (WP)
“We assess it is unlikely that a foreign actor, including Russia, is conducting a sustained, worldwide campaign harming U.S. personnel with a weapon or mechanism.” - CIA Report (January 2022)

Scientists propose putting nanobots in our bodies to create ‘global superbrain’
An international team of scientists led by members of UC Berkeley and the US Institute for Molecular Manufacturing predicts that exponential progress in nanotechnology, nanomedicine, artificial intelligence (AI) and computation will lead this century to the development of a human ‘brain-cloud interface’ (B-CI). Writing in Frontiers in Neuroscience, the team said that a B-CI would connect neurons and synapses in the brain to vast cloud computing networks in real time.
We Ignore the Human Domain at Our Own Peril
“It is in the cognitive space where we must prevail.” — General Richard Clarke, commander, United States Special Operations Command, May 20, 2021
The current focus on influence and information campaigns as tools of great power competition raises questions about how well prepared the United States is to compete in “the human domain.” Coined in 2010 by retired Lieutenant General Charles Cleveland, then the commander of United States Special Operations Command – Central, the human domain unsurprisingly emphasizes humans—their beliefs, their networks, their values—as a center of gravity in modern, twenty-first-century nation-state competition. While competing for cognitive and social influence is as old as the history of military thought, the human domain has received renewed attention from scholars, policymakers, and operational communities. However, despite renewed interest, neither the Department of Defense nor the interagency are postured or organized for success in the human domain and the information environment. This article, therefore, offers a number of recommendations to enable DoD and the interagency to more effectively compete in multi-domain competition by focusing on the human domain.

Drinking from the Fetid Well: Data Poisoning and Machine Learning - By Lieutenant Andrew Galle
As robotics and artificial intelligence continue to become increasingly capable and autonomous from constant human control and input, the need for human life to occupy the field of battle continuously diminishes. One technology that enables this reality is machine learning, which would allow a device to react to its environment, and the infinite permutations of variables therein, while prosecuting the objectives of its human controllers. The Achilles’ heel of this technology, however, is what makes it possible—the machine’s ability to learn from examples. By poisoning these example datasets, adversaries can corrupt the machine’s training process, potentially causing the United States to field unreliable or dangerous assets. Defending against such techniques is critical. The United States must start accelerating its investments in developing countermeasures and change the way it uses and consumes data to mitigate these attacks when they do occur.
Thinking in 140 Characters: The Internet, Neuroplasticity, and Intelligence Analysis
“Studies have shown the internet and related technologies are fundamentally changing the way people engage information, which in turn has compromised cognitive functioning in a number of important ways.”
“In the analytic segments of intelligence organizations, this phenomenon speaks directly to a—if not the—core occupational function: focused, disciplined thinking. This issue can be expected to be more pronounced among younger and newer analytic cohorts…”
“In this article, the basic concepts and science of neuroplasticity are introduced, as well as specific findings pertaining to the neuroplastic effects of internet usage. Potential implications for U.S. intelligence organizations are then explored.”
“It does not take long for the brain to show signs of physiological change after even moderate engagement with the internet and its applications.”
“One particularly worrisome finding is when in the state or habit of multi- tasking, individuals are more likely to accept conventional ideas and solutions without questioning them or considering alternatives.”
Chinese scientists develop artificial intelligence “prosecutor” that can press its own charges
Machine is so far able to identify eight common crimes such as fraud, gambling, dangerous driving and ‘picking quarrels’, researchers say
Prosecutors in China already use an AI tool to evaluate evidence and assess how dangerous a suspect is to the public
"While the original goal of AI is to produce human-like machines, in the end, machine learning will just end up making humans behave more like machines instead." - hardmaru
International negotiations on the regulation of killer robots failed - "US rejects calls for regulation'
Following calls from the government of New Zealand for the adoption of international laws to prohibit and limit autonomous weapons systems, the United States has opposed such regulations. Speaking at a meeting in Geneva, US official Josh Dorosin maintained that America saw "the best way to make progress ... would be through the development of a non-binding code of conduct”. See as well this press-release.

Denis de Rougemont /// Atomic Homeopathy
Denis de Rougemont was on retreat in Lake George, NY, when the news reached him that America had unleashed its doomsday weapon on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The event prompted a series of letters, to an anonymous friend, published the following year by Brentano’s as Lettres sur la Bombe atomique. We present here, on the 75th anniversary of its writing, a translation of the first of these letters.
"What is homeopathy? The action of a remedy that is materially absent. What is the atomic bomb? The action of a particle of matter suddenly made absent."
You see, homeopathy is not an advance on traditional medicine but a complete overthrow of its basic notions. It is the revelation of a new universe, where the least will produce the most, where potency will no longer depend on accumulation but, on the contrary, on subtlety pushed to the point of disappearance. The same goes for the atomic bomb.
