Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road darknet marketplace, recently praised the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) in a tweet from prison. Despite being in prison for over a decade, Ulbricht stays informed about technology, especially AI, which he sees as having made significant progress since his 2013 arrest.
Ulbricht expressed his amazement at AI’s ability to generate images based on human thoughts. He referenced a recent article that discussed this capability, highlighting how much technology has advanced. This development aligns with research that explores how AI interacts with human thought processes in new ways.
In 2014, artist Jody Xiong from Shanghai used EEG sensors to help people with disabilities create paintings by controlling paint-filled balloons with their thoughts. This project demonstrated how technology could turn brain activity into creative outcomes.
Similarly, artist Lia Chavez developed an installation where brain activity could generate sound and light. Participants wore EEG headsets that turned their brainwaves into colors and sounds, showing how technology and creativity can work together.
Ulbricht also pointed out the progress AI has made in understanding human thoughts. In 2022, researchers at Radboud University trained an AI system to create images from brain scan data of over 1,000 unique faces. This technology, which came before Stable Diffusion marked a big step in turning brain activity into visual images.
Read CRYPTONEWSLAND onBy late 2023, these AI systems had improved enough to create high-quality images from brain scans. This progress caught Ulbricht’s attention as it showed just how far technology has come.
Ulbricht also talked about AI’s potential in creativity and innovation. AI can now mimic people’s thought processes in many ways, making it a powerful tool for generating new ideas.
