To me it seems like contacting your local representative is actually pretty in line with your goal of "establishing in the mind of the commons". I'm not sure what the little team is that you think will be controlling everything.
"AGI needs to update beliefs when contradicted by new evidence" is a great idea, however, the article's approach of building better memory databases (basically fancier RAG) doesn't seem enable this. Beliefs and facts are built into LLMs at a very low layer during training. I wonder how they think they can force an LLM to pull from the memory bank instead of the training data.
Shouldn't be impossible. Samsung already offers Space Zoom which has a good UX and a LOT of image stabilization so your hands shaking isn't magnified by 100x.
As far as AI upscaling though, agreed. At least make a setting so we can do our own A/B tests.
