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.
To be fair, I don't know how much of that huge input is stored for very long. Human brains are incredible at discarding unimportant information by generalizing information into broad ideas and emotions. Just think back to something that happened a few years ago and try to recall specific details.
Being able to identify and discard unneeded data in realtime seems like a huge step for AI that hasn't been really implemented yet.
