AI preliminary design for a better mousetrap Paradolia portrayed by screenshot from "Make a Simple AM Radio , Receives All International Radio Stations" posted on YouTube by Inventor KR. Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an unintended object, pattern, or meaning.

An incredible electronic circuit created using AI. As someone already claimed: technology will save the world.

I bought one of these a few years ago to get rid of mice in the roof cavity of a house.
They lure mice with something like peanut butter and then hammer them with compressed CO2. It has a phone app to let you know how it's going and can connect to the net to log mice kills possibly to New Zealand. I found it was not as effective as an old time spring loaded mouse trap (with cheese). In this particular case what ended all mice in the roof cavity was installing 'gutter guard' around all roof gutters. That stopped every mouse from entering the roof. I'm turning into a bit of an inventor in my 70's. I just discovered a technique to get a 'throwline' over high tree branches. There are plenty of ways arborists do this and I do it to fell dead eucalyptus trees with a work truck. I was spinning a weight on a light rope and releasing it but it was not a good method. I realized that if I spun in the opposite direction it would form an arc that landed the line above the branch. I don't know if AI can solve real world problems at all. That 'X' guy recons all human knowledge has been sampled but the people designing AI don't live in the real world. If they did they would have realized AI can be by-passed easily.

denzjos and Tas, thanks for looking in and commenting. I've spent a lot of time conversing with AIs in the last while. To me Inventor KR's radio breadboard project image was just such a funny thing to suddenly see standing there on its own. I felt compelled to give it a personal context.
Tas, how is that your real life beats my fantasy life at every turn? I'm definitely going to have to get out more and next time try throwing stuff at trees ...
Hi neuro,
I just ignored the Pareidolia (correct spelling) because what I saw was a 'crystal set' or 'crystal radio' that I made when I was about 12. Mine was a kit and had an ear plug. They had no power source at all. This was before we had black and white TV. The little crystal set gave me a life long love of rock music....and electronics. Quote:I'm definitely going to have to get out more and next time try throwing stuff at trees ... Beautifully said. This island is like Oregon or Washington state. It's covered in trees, but the management here see them as a commodity to sell to China. They come back as packaging for consumer products. Eventually I discovered that trees and humans share a common ancestor. For most people this is 'ho hum' but for me it was life changing. Take plant alkaloids as an example? Tobacco plants use nicotine that tastes bitter to grazing animals. Opium poppies put the animals to sleep and they forget about grazing. Soy plants actually modify the sex hormones of animals so their reproduction starts to malfunction. But what about coca plants? The poor grazing animal gets so wired it forgets it's a grazing animal and starts robbing convenience stores or stands for election. As you may suspect I've got it all worked out  I believe that everything 'wrong' in life is an opportunity to evolve further. People need to take those opportunities IMHO.
