Film about artificial intelligence Updated 2025-07-16
And by artificial intelligence, read of course (non-human-identical) artificial general intelligence.
Today-2022, this is placed under the science fiction film category. But maybe this might change during Ciro Santilli's own lifetime?
The basic criteria of "is a film about artificial intelligence good or not" to Ciro Santilli is: does the AI inhabit humanoid, or fully human looking, bodies? Bodies is a bad sign due to:
- the best science fiction works deeply explore the consequences of one single technology: efficient humanoid bodies are a second technological breakthrough besides AI itself. The first AI will obviously be a supercomputer without a body
- it is hard to imagine that the AI wouldn't organize itself as one huge central computer and R&D/command center. Perhaps there will be need for a few separate ones to optimize usage of natural resources, and to have some redundance in case a nuke blows the region, but there would be very very few of the think tanks. But having big centers is fundamental, because you centralize all the flow of ideas and their combination leading to new better outcomes for the AI. The mobile robot actors controlled by this center, if any exist, would then be slaves with some degree of autonomy and infinitely less computational powerful than the think tank.

Finance is a cancer of society Updated 2025-07-16
The financial industry does not serve society nowhere near its magnitude (London of course being the epitome of that). It serves only itself. It just grows without bound.

. Source. Ciro Santilli was not sure under which section classify this video. It is worthwhile despite the title- youtu.be/exPt6mVgpfY?t=123 describes how at Lockheed Martin they were playing the "we are doing it for national defense, not for money card" on employees. Ciro Santilli came to understand and despise similar hypocrisy via Ciro's everyone gets a raise story

Finite field Updated 2025-07-16
A convenient notation for the elements of of prime order is to use integers, e.g. for we could write:which makes it clear what is the additive inverse of each element, although sometimes a notation starting from 0 is also used:
For non-prime order, we see that modular arithmetic does not work because the divisors have no inverse. E.g. at order 6, 2 and 3 have no inverse, e.g. for 2:we see that things wrap around perfecly, and 1 is never reached.

Video "Finite fields made easy by Randell Heyman (2015)" at youtu.be/z9bTzjy4SCg?t=159 shows how for order . Basically, for order , we take:For a worked out example, see: GF(4).
- each element is a polynomial in , , the polynomial ring over the finite field with degree smaller than . We've just seen how to construct for prime above, so we're good there.
- addition works element-wise modulo on
- multiplication is done modulo an irreducible polynomial of order
