10 grudnia 1995 r. Pokojową Nagrodę Nobla otrzymał profesor Józef Rotblat i kierowany przez niego ruch na rzecz pokoju i rozbrojenia nuklearnego Pugwash. Paradoksalnie pół wieku wcześniej pochodzący z Polski fizyk sam uczestniczył w konstruowaniu pierwszej bomby atomowej zrzuconej na Hiroszimę w ramach projektu Manhattan.Niestety, w szkole nie dowiecie się kim był Józef Rotblat i za co dostał Nobla. W okazji właśnie rozpoczynających się dni Noblowskich prezentujemy Wam sylwetkę tego nieznanego w Polsce a znanego na świecie naukowca, pozostańcie ciekawi!To jest nowy podcast, bardzo potrzebuję :) Twojej pozytywnej recenzji na Spotify, Apple Podcasts czy Google Podcasts, albo na YouTube.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [Linkpost] Michael Nielsen remarks on 'Oppenheimer', published by Tom Barnes on August 31, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a linkpost to a recent blogpost from Michael Nielsen, who has previously written on EA among many other topics. This blogpost is adapted from a talk Nielsen gave to an audience working on AI before a screening of Oppenheimer. I think the full post is worth a read, but I've pulled out some quotes I find especially interesting (bolding my own) I was at a party recently, and happened to meet a senior person at a well-known AI startup in the Bay Area. They volunteered that they thought "humanity had about a 50% chance of extinction" caused by artificial intelligence. I asked why they were working at an AI startup if they believed that to be true. They told me that while they thought it was true, "in the meantime I get to have a nice house and car". [...] I often meet people who claim to sincerely believe (or at least seriously worry) that AI may cause significant damage to humanity. And yet they are also working on it, justifying it in ways that sometimes seem sincerely thought out, but which all-too-often seem self-serving or self-deceiving. Part of what makes the Manhattan Project interesting is that we can chart the arcs of moral thinking of multiple participants [...] Here are four caricatures: Klaus Fuchs and Ted Hall were two Manhattan Project physicists who took it upon themselves to commit espionage, communicating the secret of the bomb to the Soviet Union. It's difficult to know for sure, but both seem to have been deeply morally engaged and trying to do the right thing, willing to risk their lives; they also made, I strongly believe, a terrible error of judgment. I take it as a warning that caring and courage and imagination are not enough; they can, in fact, lead to very bad outcomes. Robert Wilson, the physicist who recruited Richard Feynman to the project. Wilson had thought deeply about Nazi Germany, and the capabilities of German physics and industry, and made a principled commitment to the project on that basis. He half-heartedly considered leaving when Germany surrendered, but opted to continue until the bombings in Japan. He later regretted that choice; immediately after the Trinity Test he was disconsolate, telling an exuberant Feynman: "It's a terrible thing that we made". Oppenheimer, who I believe was motivated in part by a genuine fear of the Nazis, but also in part by personal ambition and a desire for "success". It's interesting to ponder his statements after the War: while he seems to have genuinely felt a strong need to work on the bomb in the face of the Nazi threat, his comments about continuing to work up to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki contain many strained self-exculpatory statements about how you have to work on it as a scientist, that the technical problem is too sweet. It smells, to me, of someone looking for self-justification. Joseph Rotblat, the one physicist who actually left the project after it became clear the Nazis were not going to make an atomic bomb. He was threatened by the head of Los Alamos security, and falsely accused of having met with Soviet agents. In leaving he was turning his back on his most important professional peers at a crucial time in his career. Doing so must have required tremendous courage and moral imagination. Part of what makes the choice intriguing is that he himself didn't think it would make any difference to the success of the project. I know I personally find it tempting to think about such choices in abstract systems terms: "I, individually, can't change systems outcomes by refusing to participate ['it's inevitable!'], therefore it's okay to participate". And yet while that view seems reasonable, Rotblat's example shows it is incorrect. His private moral...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Some Reflections on EA Strategy Fortnight, published by Ben West on June 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I stated “I see this mostly as an experiment into whether having a simple “event” can cause people to publish more stuff” and I feel like the answer is conclusively “yes”. I put a little bit of effort into pitching people, and I'm sure that my title and personal connections didn't hurt, but this really was not a terribly heavy lift. Thanks to the fortnight I have a post I can reference for EA being a do-ocracy! I would encourage other people to try to organize things like this. I noticed an interesting phenomenon: contributors who are less visible in EA wanted to participate because they thought it would give their writing more attention, and people who are more visible in EA wanted to participate because they thought it would give their writing less attention. I think the average EA might underestimate the extent to which being visible in EA (e.g. speaking at EAG) is seen as a burden rather than an opportunity. This feels like an important problem to solve, though outside the bounds of this project. 3. Part of my goal was to get conversations that are happening in private into a more public venue. I think this basically worked, at least measured by “conversations that I personally have been having in private”. There are some ways in which karma did not reflect what I personally thought was most important though: I've started to worry that it might be important to get digital sentience work (e.g. legal protection for digital beings) before we get transformative AI, and EA's seem like approximately the only people who could realistically do this in the next ~5 years. So I would have liked to have seen more grappling with this post, although in fairness Jeff wasn't making a strong pitch for prioritizing AI welfare. I also find myself making the points that Arden raised here pretty regularly, and wish there was more engagement with them. 4. When doing a “special event” on the forum, I always wonder whether the event will add to the forum's engagement or just cannibalize existing engagement. I think the strategy fortnight was mostly additive, although it's pretty hard to know the counterfactual. 5. Some events I would be interested in someone trying to organize on the Forum “Everyone change your job week” – opportunity for people to think seriously about whether they should change their jobs, write up a post about it, and then get feedback from other Forum users Rotblat day – Joseph Rotblat was a physicist on the Manhattan project who was originally motivated by wanting to defeat Nazi Germany, but withdrew once he realized the project was actually motivated by wanting to defeat the USSR. On Rotblat day, people post what signs they would look for to determine if their work was being counterproductive. “Should we have an AI moratorium?” debate week – basically the comments here, except you recruit people to give longer form takes. Video week – people create and post video versions of forum articles (or other EA content) Or more specifically: they would be seen as one of many voices, rather than someone whose opinions should receive special attention/deference Largely because no one else cares. This and the Rotblat idea come from Sydney Von Arx Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

What separates us from a mouse? It may be our large load of long non-coding RNA. Barak Rotblat and his team research what was previously thought of as "junk RNA." Technology and careful study indicate they may have significant roles as functional RNA types through regulation. Listen and learn How scientists describe the makeup of our genome and why non-coding RNA impact factors are only just beginning to be understood; What's the difference between protein-coding and non-coding RNA; What roles researchers think non-coding RNA plays, such as regulation, and why that makes us more complex than a mouse; and What these findings have to do with important cancer research and future therapies. Barak Rotblat is a senior lecturer at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He entered academic research just when the talk of the field were these mysterious RNA sequences that didn't code for proteins. The intriguing question around their purpose led his research from that point on and now he runs a lab researching non-coding RNA cancer molecules. He helps fill in some of the pieces of the puzzle for listeners, offering a description of the mechanics of the genome and what possibilities these molecules present. They "look like a normal gene and behave like a normal gene," but the function of non-coding RNA is defined in the RNA molecule itself rather than the protein that is being translated from the RNA. But he really broadens the picture when he explains what they might have to do with evolution. For example, 90% of our coding genome is identical to that of mice. What differentiates us is the large amount of non-coding RNA. Mice have some, but not nearly as much and that might be why we are more complex organisms. That's because scientist think they are regulators, turning functions on and off and regulating metabolism and structure. If he and his team can understand what key non-coding RNA cancer molecules do, they may find indicators for effective therapeutics. For more about his work, see barakrotblat.wixsite.com/rotblatlab.

¿Qué puede malir sal? Rotblat y Edi.Chavs se aventuran en su primer intento de Podcast, lo que se supone que seria solo una prueba de audio termina siendo una platica sobre la ignorancia de fechas importantes, problemas antes de ir a la primaria, amigos mal rollo y días de universidad.

Discover how Joseph Rotblat went from creating nuclear bombs to winning the Nobel Peace prize. The American bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is generally considered to be one of the most, if not the most, important events of the 20th Century. It succeeded in bringing about Japanese capitulation and the end of the Second World War, but, at the same time, marked the advent of nuclear weapons. For the first time in history, civilizations could be completely wiped off the map with the push of a button. For most, this was a terrifying prospect. For a man Józef Rotblat, it was a call to action. In this episode, our hosts will tell you the remarkable story of Józef Rotblat, a nuclear physicist and peace activist. We’ll discuss the suffering he endured in his early life and how this shaped his worldview. We’ll talk about his time at the Manhattan Project and his motivations for leaving. We’ll also dedicate a significant portion of the episode to talking about Rotblat’s lifelong activism and his enduring legacy. Like our show? Sign up for our newsletter!

Today, we are joined by Kevin Warwick, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Research at Coventry University, and former Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading. Oh… he's also considered to be the world's first actual cyborg, having connected his nervous system to the internet nearly 15 years ago. But don't worry, we'll get to that later on in the interview...   Kevin is one of the leading researchers in artificial intelligence, robotics, and biomedical engineering, and has authored and co-authored more than 600 research papers and written or edited 27 books including I, Cyborg, QI, The Quest For Intelligence, and In The Mind Of The Machine. He's also received doctorates and awards from more higher learning institutions than I have time to list, but one interesting one is that the Institute of Physics selected Kevin as one of only 7 eminent scientists to illustrate the ethical impact their scientific work can have… the others, by the way, were Galileo, Einstein, Curie, Novel, Oppenheimer, and Rotblat. You may have also seen Kevin's work in the National Geographic Documentary, “I, Human."   This episode goes far and wide, and might be one of the most mind-blowing episodes we've ever done. Kevin and I talk about artificial intelligence and what it means for humanity. We talk about cyborgs, and what possibilities technology has for making us truly superhuman, we discuss the future of learning, and even start to understand what it will look like when - not if - a new species of humanoids roam the planet. All in all, it's an incredibly fascinating episode that will bring you up to date on the cutting edge of technology and help you understand how, in the future, we'll truly become superhuman.

Kevin Warwick is Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading. Sometimes called ‘The First Human Cyborg’ the Institute of Physics selected Kevin to illustrate the ethical impact scientific work can have: the others selected were Galileo, Einstein, Curie, Nobel, Oppenheimer, and Rotblat.

Astronomer Royal Sir Martin Rees tells Matthew Parris why his hero, physicist Joseph Rotblat, lived a "great life". Rotblat was a brilliant physicist who was the only scientist to resign from the Manhattan Project once it became clear that Germany would not make an atomic bomb. Rotblat believed that all scientists have a moral obligation to work for the benefit of mankind, and spent his life campaigning against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Joining Lord Rees and Matthew Parris in the studio is Rotblat's friend and colleague Kit Hill.

Sue Lawley's castaway this morning is the nuclear physicist and Nobel Peace Laureate, Professor Sir Joseph Rotblat. During World War II he quit the notorious Manhattan Project to develop the atom bomb when he realised that 'nothing good can come out of evil'. Fifty years later he is still committed to multilateral disarmament and the pursuit of peace.
