Представляет ли искусственный интеллект угрозу религии?

ВведениеВполне очевидно, что развитие ИИ порождает новые дискуссии мировоззренческого характера. В том числе, в области философии и религии.В философии оживились споры о природе сознания и его функциях, а для религии настает своеобразный «момент истины»: переосмысление происхождения, роли и назначения человека в этом Мире, его ответственность за свои поступки, преступления (грехи) и наказание за них, уже в ином Мире.В данном случае нас интересует больше потенциальное влияние ИИ на религию.Под религией мы...

Лекция мечты по информатике

Сколько лекций по карате нужно прослушать, чтобы уверенно противостоять нескольким хулиганам в тёмном переулке? Звучит нелепо, правда? Тогда сколько лекций по информатике нужно прослушать, чтобы научиться пользоваться компьютером? Компьютером в широком смысле — аппаратной частью, существующими программами и создавать свои программы под конкретные задачи. И может оказаться, что информатика не учит программировать, особенно если студента или учащегося не готовят именно как программиста. А ведь всё могло бы бы Read more

I let my phone die for one entire weekend without telling anyone — and the strange thing wasn’t who didn’t notice, it was realizing how many of my closest relationships had been running on something closer to maintenance than to actual presence

I let my phone die one Friday evening and, on a whim, decided not to charge it again until Monday. No grand digital-detox announcement, no warning anyone I was going off-grid. I simply let it run flat and left it face down on a shelf for two days, to see what would happen. The obvious ... Read more Read more

Microsoft Discovers Cryptocurrency Stealer That Spreads Through USB Drives and Uses Tor

Ars Technica's senior security editor reports: Microsoft says it has detected new self-propagating malware that spreads through USB drives in search of cryptocurrency credentials, which it then sends to attacker-controlled servers. The company named the worm Crypto Clipper because it monitors the contents of device clipboards for patterns consistent with wallet addresses or seed phrases. When found, the malware also takes five screenshots over a 10-second period... "The execution of... Read more

The history of distributed computing is one of protocol proliferation followed by consolidation. Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), Java remote method invocation (RMI), and early simple object access protocol (SOAP) competed for the enterprise integration market in the late 1990s before representational state transfer (REST) quietly won by being simpler and HTTP-native.

AI coding agents are rapidly accelerating data engineering by generating transformations, pipelines, orchestration workflows, validation tests, and infrastructure configurations from prompts. However, enterprise data platforms have long operated across fragmented systems owned by different teams and built on different technologies. As these systems evolve independently, organizations increasingly struggle with inconsistent business logic, duplicated implementations, difficult downstream impact analysis, and Read more

One of the assumptions behind today’s AI frameworks is that agents require a “boss” at the center; this orchestrator runs the show, routes requests, and makes sure the whole system doesn’t descend into chaos. That assumption may be wrong, and the cost of carrying it could be measured in inference dollars and coordination latency. A new Stanford framework called a decentralized language model, or DeLM, is built on the premise... Read more
