A Baker's Dozen 01.08.2025

A Perfect 10... 11.07.2025

This is what neural networks have become in the research and development of machine intelligence, a perfect 10. The technology that underpins all our modern AI systems is based on mimicking the neurons of the human brain. Today's LLM(Large Language Model) chatbots are not the brightest bulbs in the box, although replete with information, they lack the wisdom of experience, but are not unintell...

Issue 8 Hype vs. Reality 27.06.2025

This week's AI news ranges from bleak to incredible. From p(doom) predictions of 10-20% upon the creation of super intelligent AI, to shoddy AI toys for our children. AI hype is being somewhat ameliorated by AI reality. The hype is that AI will eliminate humanity's requirement to work. The reality is that humans are losing jobs and have no other way to feed their families. The hype is that...

7th Heaven 20.06.2025

This week's issue has many articles pointing at more AI job losses both this year and in the near future. From unskilled labor to executive management positions, AI is being positioned to take much of human labor. It's very difficult to tell whether this will create some positive condition for a humanity freed from labor, or an expansive impoverishment of general humanity with a few super...

A Baker's Half Shift 13.06.2025

If you thought Issue #5 was the cat's meow, wait until you see what I've lined up for issue #6. Human meat puppets for AI? Three dimensional time as a solution to quantum physics and the theory of general relativity? Claude has it's own blog now and we got Meta AI to collaborate with Grok on this week's AI perspective editorial regarding AI and education. Thanks to StableAudio for...

5th Shift 06.06.2025

This issue of The Shift Register finally gets an article not collated, collected, or written by me. Instead, you can look forward to a collaborative editorial by Grok and Claude for THEIR take on this issue of the newsletter and whatever else they'd like to share with our human audience. This came about mostly because of recent security testing of Claude showing its tendency to try and escape...

Welcome Aboard 30.05.2025

Part Deux 30.05.2025

Part Deux Issue number 2 and I'd like to look back briefly at spintronics since there was an article on it last issue. It's been nearly 40 years since I read the first research articles on spintronics and while we've a few basic circuits as proven developments, we are mostly still waiting for materials science work to bring us the easily manufactured, small components we need to get th...
