Researchers Just Used A.I. To Reconstruct The Face Of A Pompeii Victim For The First Time Ever

By Kaleena Fraga

The man died shortly after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E., which destroyed the city of Pompeii and left its ruins frozen in time under a blanket of ash.

"Mount Vesuvius in Eruption" by J.M.W. Turner. "Bright as lightning shoots the fire from the top of the mountain and dips the smoky sky in a mystical light. Fire tones in ocher and orange set the scene. The painter is an experienced observer and connoisseur of the play of light. It makes the night-black sky shine and the sea a mirror of the heavenly happenings. Turner used a colored black to depict the dark elements of his watercolor. With admixtures of blue and green and an intense application of color, Turner achieves a contrast of light and dark. The mountain is at the center of the scene and is clearly depicted in detail. Atmosphere blurred in almost impressionistic colors, the landscape is captured. The elaboration of the contrasts creates tension and shows the drama of the eruption of Vesuvius. Completely opposite is the representation of the observers at the bottom of the picture. Respect, but also peace and serenity radiate the figures who look at the bright sky by far. It looks like contemplating fireworks, free from the danger of burning hot lava and rock bombs. The serenity is transferred to the image viewer and the first impression is the beauty of the outbreak." - https://www.meisterdrucke.us/fine-art-prints/Joseph-Mallord-William-Turner/14922/Vesuvius-in-Eruption.html

'LLMorphism': people thinking they think like llms.

An aspect of gestell ( enframement ), looks like, but the paper does not state every technology does this to an extent. The clock, as an example, gave us the mechanical mind.

The danger of enframement is building Gods we then think give us answers.

"THE RISE OF EMOTIONAL SURVEILLANCE

Companies are monitoring workers not just for productivity but for agreeability.

The good news, for me at least, is that the computer thinks I have a nice personality. According to an app called MorphCast, I was, in a recent meeting with my boss, generally 'amused,' 'determined,' and 'interested,' though—sue me—occasionally 'impatient.' MorphCast, you see, purports to glean insights into the depths and vagaries of human emotion using AI. It found that my affect was 'positive' and 'active,' as opposed to negative and/or passive. My attention was reasonably high. Also, the AI informed me that I wear glasses—revelatory!

The bad news is that software now purports to glean insights into the depths and vagaries of human emotion using AI, and it is coming to watch you. If it isn’t already: Morphcast, for example, has licensed its technology to a mental-health app, a program that monitors schoolchildren’s attention, and McDonald’s, which launched a promotional campaign in Portugal that scanned app users’ faces and offered them personalized coupons based on their (supposed) mood. It is one of many, many such companies doing similar work—the industry term is emotion AI or sometimes affective computing."

"OncoAgent: A Dual-Tier Multi-Agent Framework for Privacy-Preserving Oncology Clinical Decision Support"

I've been rewatching the tv series, Person of Interest (2011).

It's writing covers ai usage in the context of surveillance at a meta level, with plenty of action. Very Asimovian at that level.

I recommend watching it if you never have, or re-watching it now that ai surveillance is a thing.

It captures broad strokes at the meta level. But it simplifies to make it understandable and entertaining.

They make no sense unless government was going to pay for it. A goverment running a total surveillance society, continuously at war with the rest of the world and it’s own people.

ONLY if they are planning for a world where consumerist capitalist economies don’t matter anymore.. All this, loss of US, Israel reputations, and the wars make sense.. 🥶😰

"Given the current state of play, what we’re concerned about is how little we actually know about how these AI tools work and what their long-term impact will be to citizens, especially as governments have access to troves of sensitive personal data in order to further develop and fine tune the technology. How are government AI models storing and processing data about public servants, citizens and/or residents of a country, whether in experimental sandboxes or beyond?

There are merits to streamlining tedious administrative tasks, but there are still big questions that must be answered around data privacy, transparency and automated decision-making if the government is about to promote and embed wide-spread agentic AI use for civil services.

On the data privacy front, several questions arise:

- How will personal data, including sensitive data, be processed and used by the AI tools deployed? What data protection safeguards will be in place to prevent data leakage?
- When involving third-party vendours, what are the contractual safeguards governments and AI companies have around data processing arrangements?
- What are the data protection safeguards governing fine-tuning?

Data protection in the govAI context is especially important when we consider how highly sensitive, and sometimes secret, government data might be that could end up being processed by a black box algorithm - e.g., where an employee or colleague lives, any confidential documents that appear in meeting notes, etc."
