 Glossary Weak AI is AI that implements a limited part of the brain or focuses on one narrow task. ChatGPT-3 is an advanced example of weak/narrow AI. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is artificial general intelligence with the same capabilities and skills as human intelligence. WAI (Whole Artificial Intelligence) is a full-fledged artificial intelligence that not only copies human intelligence, but also surpasses human ideas about how the mind should work. ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) ASI is an artificial intelligence with super intelligence, capable of surpassing human intelligence and intelligence. UIM - (ultra-intelligent machines) - artificial intelligence with greater capabilities and abilities than ASI. The growth rate of ChatGPT users shows that IT services have grown to a new level - from months to days. Some experts believe that ChatGPT-5 will begin demonstrating AGI capabilities as early as December 2023. Hence, it can be assumed that the AGI and WAI levels ...

Destructive earthquakes: force 7 - 8 points - 17 times a year. The annual number of victims of earthquakes XX century - 33,000 people. TANGSHAN 1976. China. Magnitude 7.8. 242 thousand people died. SPITAK 1988. Armenia. Magnitude 7.2. 25 thousand people died. NEFTEGORSK 1995. Russia Magnitude 7.6. 2040 people died. XXI century - 45,000 people. PORT-AU-PRINCE 2010 Haiti.

Dogs and cats  are one of the most tragic volcanic disasters in human history - the death of Saint-Pierre on the island of Martinique in 1902. A cloud of hot gases from the crater of Mont Pelee, completely burned the city. As a matter of minutes killed more than thirty thousand people odnako of animals after the tragedy, rescuers found only a few dead cats and dogs. As it turned out, almost all pets away from the city in advance, anticipating the impending catastrophe. In Chile, before the earthquake in 1835, every one of the dogs left the city Talkuano. Before the earthquake in 1976 in the Italian province of Friuli cats began to feverishly make kittens from their homes. 12 hours before the earthquake in Morocco in 1980, dogs and cats have run out of homes into the streets, camels, too hurried to leave the settlements. September 27th, 2003 at 18:33 in the Altai Mountains, Russia, was a powerful earthquake measuring 7.3 magnitude, aftershocks of which were felt even in Novosibirs...

 Hello. I am an amateur astronomer interested in the large-scale kinematics of disk galaxies. While analyzing publicly available observational data and scientific publications, I have formulated a set of what I believe are relatively straightforward and operationally testable hypotheses concerning the connection between the internal dynamics of galaxies and the formation of their spiral structure and gas kinematics. Запрос экспертизы по наблюдательным гипотезам дисковых галактик Below is a brief list of the hypotheses. The connection between bar strength and spiral arm pitch angle Hypothesis: In disk galaxies with a pronounced bar, the pitch angle of the spiral arms statistically correlates with the bar's parameters (length, ellipticity). How to test: Photometry (S4G, SDSS) and morphological classification; correlation analysis of bar parameters and pitch angle. Gas kinematic asymmetry in a dense environment Hypothesis: For galaxies in clusters, the asymmetry in gas velocities is m...

I. The Shadow of Cheyenne Mountain This evening, San Francisco, like all of California, was experiencing an unbearable heat wave, but it wasn't just the weather. The world was living in a state of extreme tension: a Chinese strike group led by the aircraft carrier Guangdong had been patrolling the outskirts of Taiwan for two months. The American administration was frantically seeking leverage against China, constantly adding fuel to the fire of ideological confrontation. In such an atmosphere, any spark could become a detonator. Deep underground, inside Cheyenne Mountain, the night watch of NORAD — North American Aerospace Defense Command — was taking over. In Omaha, at the headquarters of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), duty officers took their places in front of the 724M system monitors. It was a complex network that integrated data from satellites, radars, and tracking stations into a single picture of the continent's security. Until tonight, the system was considered relia...

Modern oncology has achieved significant success in describing the molecular mechanisms of uncontrolled cellular growth. However, the dominant paradigm still treats cancer primarily as a problem of acceleration, hyperactivation, and excessive signaling stimulation. This work proposes an alternative conceptual framework in which the core of oncogenesis is not so much the amplification of growth signals as the systemic loss of a cell’s ability to perceive and execute stop signals (STOP signals). We consider cancer as a state of acquired STOP resistance and discuss the implications of this view for the interpretation of remission and the prospects of therapeutic strategies. 1. Introduction: an asymmetry of attention Over the past decades, the cell biology of growth and division has been studied in great detail. Oncogenes, growth factors, proliferative signaling cascades, metabolic shifts—all of these form a dense and well-mapped landscape. At the same time, systems of biological sto...

Sergeant John Bordne started his shift at midnight. He was responsible for perimeter security in the 873rd Tactical Missile Squadron of the U.S. Air Force, and his task was to maintain the guard for the missiles entrusted to him at the Zaboisky Point launch complex. Eight "Typhons" slept in their silos. Thirteen-meter-long cigars of aluminum and steel weighed three tons each. Inside each lay a W80 warhead with a yield of 150 kilotons. The radius of total destruction — eight kilometers. A crater as deep as a twenty-story building. Here on Okinawa, it was quiet and stifling. Although for the last five days, the world had been going mad. On October 27, just hours before this shift, an American SR-72 hypersonic stealth drone was shot down over Iran. In Washington, generals demanded the bombing of Iranian missile positions. Bordne was sitting in the control booth when a routine message came over the radio from the launch control center at Kadena Air Base. First, a time check...

1. The Structural Failure of Big Fusion Projects The current fusion ecosystem is fragmented by design: Plasma physicists optimize reaction conditions (temperature, confinement time, Q-factor ). Materials scientists optimize isolated samples for peak performance under narrow conditions. System engineers extrapolate optimistic assumptions into plant-scale renderings. Each layer is locally successful. The system as a whole is not. The missing role is a system owner responsible for lifetime operation, maintenance, fuel logistics, radiation damage, and cost of ownership. As a result: Physics does not translate into engineering tolerances. Material properties do not translate into predictable service life. Subsystems do not assemble into an autonomous, economically stable energy platform. This is not a failure of science. It is a failure of architecture. 2. Radiation Is Not the Enemy — Unmanaged Degradation Is Neutron damage , swelling, helium embrittlement , and activation are fundamental...

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Wei began his shift at 20:00. The watch promised to be quiet. His mood was professional. Wang Wei glanced at the ventilation grate. It emitted dry, conditioned air—no scent of pines, no humidity, nothing to remind him of the season. Above, through three hundred meters of concrete, it was a typical September night. Here, the outside world existed only as digits on screens. The facility appeared on no map. To the local peasants from the village of Jiajiatun, it was merely a military town with a restricted zone. To the Pentagon, it was a priority strike target. Three weeks prior, in the East China Sea, the American destroyer USS Barack Obama breached the border in the Taiwan Strait. Chinese fighters buzzed its superstructure at full afterburner, just five meters away. In Washington, Congress approved yet another military aid package for Taiwan. In Beijing, the People's Daily ran a front-page editorial: "Imperialism continues its att...

We are entering a phase where AI systems no longer operate only in a human-to-machine loop, but increasingly in agent-to-agent (A2A) interactions. This is not a product upgrade. It is a structural shift. When autonomous systems negotiate, optimize, coordinate, or escalate without direct human mediation, the system boundary changes. Responsibility diffuses. Latency shrinks. Error propagation accelerates. In low-stakes environments, this is manageable. In high-stakes domains , it is not.   What “High-Stakes” Means Here High-stakes systems are not defined by intent, but by consequence.
