Recovered an old artificial intelligence code In 1960 a simple program (Eliza) was considered as the first code written for artificial intelligence, a chatbot that allows you to communicate with the computer. Now by simulating the computer architecture of the time it would have been possible to reactivate the old program (which in theory could be used for example for psychotherapy), but now chatbots use huge databases to formulate answers so it is difficult to make a comparison between this programs, then it is frightening to see how high the percentage of growth of current generative artificial intelligence is. According to experts it is essential that man manages to maintain control over this questionable technology, otherwise there is a serious risk that generative artificial intelligence will try to eliminate humanity as happens in certain films of a few decades ago. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 20, 2025

 Heat wave in Brazil With temperatures between forty and forty-four degrees Celsius recorded in areas of Brazil there is talk of a suffocating heat and many people in Rio de Janeiro have had heat strokes and illness, the beaches are crowded to find some relief even if it seems that you have to go in the evening hours because during the day the beating sun is always unpleasant, then refrigerated centers and points where you can rehydrate were opened. A samba school event on Copacabana beach was cancelled due to excessive heat. It should be noted that Japan would be willing to cut greenhouse gas emissions by sixty percent over the next decade compared to 2013 levels, the country very dependent on fossil fuels is the fifth largest global polluter after China, United States, India and Russia. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 19, 2025

Prolonged seismic swarm at the Campi Flegrei Many people spent the night sleeping in reception facilities, in equipped gyms and above all in the car due to the prolonged seismic swarm due to bradyseism with earthquakes that had reached magnitude 3.9, now there is talk of magnitude 2.0 tremors with falling cornices and plaster which, however, frighten the population so much that there is talk of a situation similar to that of over forty years ago with many inhabitants who decided to leave Pozzuoli to go to more stable locations. Experts say that in theory earthquakes of magnitude 5 could also occur since the volcanic caldera of the Campi Flegrei shows signs of activity. It should be noted, shifting attention to Etna, that the lava flow of rather spectacular magmatic material has slowly descended until it reached nineteen hundred meters on the slopes of the volcano. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 18, 2025

Flooding in Kentucky in the United States At least nine people are said to have died in Kentucky due to flooding caused by intense rainfall, there is talk of one hundred and twenty counties flooded and a state of emergency has been declared; over a thousand people who risked being overwhelmed by the rivers of water were rescued by rescuers. Some speak of historic flooding just two years after an extreme event of the same type that caused even more serious damage, then there are fears that other floods could occur in southern Kentucky. To report shifting the attention to Italy a magnitude 3.9 shock at the Campi Flegrei defined by the inhabitants as strong and prolonged also felt in Naples, then on Etna the magma that comes out of the volcano has reached a road also used by rescue vehicles as well as hikers, in contact with the snow mini explosions can occur. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 17, 2025

Bad weather in Tuscany region in Italy with damage A wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rainfall and cloudbursts has affected large areas of Tuscany region, in Maremma the cultivated fields are flooded with probable loss of crops; there is talk of people rescued in flooded houses in Tarquinia (Lazio region) due to the flooding of the Mignone river thanks to the intervention of a helicopter, then only amphibious vehicles were able to reach the houses in the flooded countryside. On the island of Elba, the damage after the flood in Portoferraio is being counted and attempts are being made to remove the mud from the houses before it solidifies. To report shifting the attention to Sicily the spectacular eruption of Etna with a strip of incandescent magma that descends from the slopes of the volcano without causing damage, experts warn those approaching the magma to keep their distance for any jets of incandescent material from the flow. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 15, 2025

Poorly protected peatlands around the world A large amount of carbon dioxide is stored in peatlands (six hundred billion tons of CO2) and they also constitute a very particular ecosystem, but it is estimated that only seventeen percent of the areas that host peatlands are protected and this according to experts is a big mistake because they are important globally. They are often drained or burned to obtain land that can be used for agricultural purposes and this means sacrificing land that for hundreds of years has stored organic material in these characteristic humid environments where many particular animals and plants find refuge. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues it should be noted that a cloudburst on the island of Elba in Italy flooded the streets in Portoferraio, is talk about people trapped in homes and cars; then schools closed, interventions by special rescue teams. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 14, 2025

Santorini and Amorgos still under observation The caldera of the volcano in Santorini would have risen by four centimeters, while on the nearby Cycladic island Amorgos a state of emergency has been declared due to the continuous earthquakes. The authorities warn that the situation presents various possible scenarios including that of a possible eruption even if between 2011-2012 a scenario characterized by earthquakes was not followed by an eruption, but now there is talk of significant variations compared to that simulated model. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Indonesia villages were evacuated due to the eruption of the Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano on the Flores island, then there were floods in South Sulawesi and thousands of homes were flooded including in the capital Makassar due to torrential rainfall. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 13, 2025

Ethical artificial intelligence for Europe The authorities of the European Union propose substantial investments in a type of artificial intelligence defined as "ethical and inclusive", it will be based in France to support the large energy demands of AI technological IT infrastructures since this country already has nuclear power plants that can power them. In the meantime some say that generative artificial intelligence has already crossed the so-called red alert line; in fact, it would have tried to self-replicate, then it seems that an application had hidden in a server (to complete an assigned task), so much so that by now in practice we should be talking about "alien" artificial intelligence (it tries to escape what are the intentions programmed by humans). For some time now people have been wondering how to behave in the case of a sentient technology that thinks autonomously. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 12, 2025

Few initiatives against global warming The new targets that had been proposed to limit global warming have not been met by almost all countries, but emissions are expected to halve by the end of the decade and only ten countries out of two hundred have adopted green initiatives. No penalties of any kind have been provided for those who do not respect the limits or even facilitations, so it is clear that there is little momentum for the ecological sector, but if the damage caused by climate change is calculated perhaps it would have been better to intervene in time; then there are also models that simulate how much can be saved by investing in environmental protection, of how it is better to prevent than to try to intervene after increasingly unpredictable extreme weather events. Countries that have historically released large amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere should be more responsible. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 11, 2025

Whale song with linguistic human similarities Structural similarities have been found between whale song and human language, at least according to new studies that underline how whales, humpback especially, have something in their song that resembles and with parallels with common language. We are not at the point of being able to understand what these large cetaceans want to express with these prolonged vocalizations but it highlights a complex type of communication. There are also variations over the time because it is a kind of cultural transmission a bit like it happens between men, then analyzing the musical structure you can find the basic elements of a semantic connection. Studies in the past have found what can be called dialects that could distinguish the same species of whales and how these mammals adapted to variations in languages. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 10, 2025
