Low-Background Steel

In analogy [0] to the pre- and post- ai-gen oversupply of information: In the movie The Matrix, Neo learns a martial art by importing directly to his brain. This obviously suggests demanding either high latency or efficient compression or equivalently optimal knowledge representation. Akin to what we might expect from neural interfaces like Neuralink, it suggests search through and generation of content (ai-gen or not) may not be enough. To me, it suggests a need for some kind of structured knowledge (how exactly?) world brain [1] and that of bridging hardware with the intricacies of human wetware.

Perhaps the scenario of creating a self-correcting AI is more immediate to that one of humans becoming borg-like [2] in the matrix sense.

Surely a human with infinite lifespan and mental capacity could digest all human works and have an internal mental model that could organize all the information.

Heh, I decided to go back and look at the first time this was posted (4 pages of reposts now!)

>> That's interesting and all, but why do we get a mildly-interesting wikipedia article every couple of days without any context or commentary? I've half a mind to write a bot that submits a random article every 48 hours.

Thought I'd go take a look, and... yeah. Currently on the front page of r/TIL.

This is all cool, but after first reading the article I got the feeling that the whole world is affected by this, no matter the location which doesn't make sense. In the Scandinavian countries (Sweeden, Finland, etc.) there weren't any Nuclear tests or detonations. I imagine most of steel there should be Low -background even today. Or am I missing something?
