Elon Musk about AI

Elon Musk made a point that at least gave us pause for thought. He warns that the development of AI will lead to humanity losing meaning in life.

Imagine that the technical evolution will be accelerated, and the Supermind will be born. Okay, not "Super", but a very smart machine. Parallel to the development of robotics, we have numerous robots that can perform labor-intensive tasks. So, we’re surrounded by really smart AI, and smart machines. AI thinks better than us, machines work better than us. What do people do? Will humanity retire or be destroyed by a more perfect species? 

In such a paradigm, the future will indeed be sad. But will machines really surpass humans? 

First of all, we still do not know the real capabilities of humans. Why do we think that further evolution of human intelligence is impossible? And why we think that machine intelligence will really surpass human intelligence in every respect. Already announced super-intelligent machines are capable of answering any question... But is it able to ask a question?

Indeed, there is a risk of being left behind by civilization. However, we see AI as an assistant rather than an alternative to humanity.

Who doesn’t love angry Mountains? Here’s the Mono Red list I am beginning with:īetween Stromkirk Noble, Bloodcrazed Neonate, and Stormblood Berserker, we’re gonna get some +1/+1 counters on our creatures. Oh, that and Koth of the Hammer ultimates. One of the more exciting interactions I am looking forward to is between Volt Charge and red creatures that get +1/+1 counters on them. This build does need a bit of work after some testing with it, but the general idea is there. Mentor of the Meek seems like he would do really well in such a deck. There is a possibility that this deck would be better just as mono-white, using cards like Honor of the Pure as well. While I’m sure there is going to be a deck much more fitting for Snapcaster Mage in the format, he still fits nicely into Hero-Blade. Playing both a 2/1 creature and an instant on our opponent’s turn is pretty sweet. While this version seems to be more of a tap-out style with this many creatures, Snap provides us with some mid- to late-game advantage. Having cheap instants such as Dismember, Mental Misstep, Divine Offering, to name a few, gives this guy some insane utility and card advantage. I would play Snapcaster Mage if the only instant or sorcery card I played in the deck was Mana Leak. Tiago Chan’s Invitational card has raised a lot of eyebrows and caused deckbuilders to wonder how good the card is. If this guy gets big, I’m sure cards like Geth’s Verdict could end up in some of the black decks, but that’s why he isn’t the only creature the deck plays! Dismember I am sure will still be played in a number of decks, and the invisible dude dodges that (and every other spot removal in the format!). Get either sword on this guy turn 4 or 5 attacking, and you’re going to put some crazy pressure on your opponent. Our 1/1 hexproof, unblockable blue creature for two mana fills this role very nicely. Once cards like Sword of Feast and Famine were introduced to the deck, the Hawks became incredible sword wielders. Squadron Hawk’s primary role in the first Caw-Go decks was the ability to have a cheap, evasive threat to attack planeswalkers. One of the more exciting cards for this deck will be Invisible Stalker. But a majority of the cards from the “creature heavy” versions will remain in the format. Now, obviously several of the cards are rotating, including Squadron Hawk and Preordain. We’re going to start with a deck that some of you might be hoping will just die: Caw-Blade (or U/W Aggro-Control). While you’ve most likely never seen any of my decks Top 8 a Standard tournament, you might after you read this. I rather enjoy coming up with new deck ideas for the competitive scene. People want to know what to play once rotation comes around, especially with The 2011’s shortly after the Innistrad Release in October. Zombies and Vampires and Werewolves—Oh, my! We’re definitely not in Kansas anymore (or Zendikar, for that matter). So what does the future hold for us in Standard? A 17th century, European, Gothic/Horror themed set, oozing with flavor. Our beloved Lightning Bolts and Squadron Hawks will also take a bow, along with other Core Set favorites that didn’t make the cut this summer. Gigantic 15/15 Time Walking ridiculous fliers, lands that Lightning Bolt you, and recurring 4/3 hasters  will now be memories of the format. Zendikar block saw two cards banned in Standard for the first time in years in Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Stoneforge Mystic. It’s that time of the year again—the time where we say “good bye” to an entire year’s worth of cards in Standard and welcome the first set of a new block.

After completing the quest, you will be able to buy Ken Haki from Usoap if you are Level 300. After you kill him, he will drop a legendary tier sword, Saber. Be careful though, as he can still use his own ranged attack. A strategy to kill him is staying outside the door since he can't leave and bombarding him with ranged attacks. He is Level 200 and is quite a hard boss if you are Level 200, too. Just equip your ancient relic received from the rich man and plug it in, a door will open and Saber Expert will be inside (if he is not inside, someone probably killed him already. Beside the stairs, you will see a relic-shaped hole in the wall. Find the stone building where Ciro ( blox fruits dealer's cousin) is located. Go back to the Jungle Island and prepare for a final battle. You will now have a Relic in your item slot. "Thank you for getting my money back, you can keep this ancient relic as your reward." Once you defeat him, go back and talk to the Rich Man. He can be found at an island to the north of the Pirate Village. The dialogue "Thanks for helping my father, but a mob leader has stolen all my money! Please find and take him down as soon possible so I can reward you." will trigger, and you'll be tasked with killing the Mob Leader. Once you reach there, find the Rich Man and talk to him. Talk to him, select "Help", and the dialogue "Thank you so much! Please meet up with my son, I'm sure he will reward you." will trigger.Īfter being thanked, go to Pirate Village In there, enter the house near the Sword Dealer of the East (see image to the left), and you will find the Sick Man inside. Once the cup is filled, exit the cave and go to the top side of the village. Stand underneath it with the cup in your hand. Once you arrive at the Frozen Village, enter the cave in which you find the Ability Teacher (see image to right) In there, you will find a ice stalactite with drops of water falling down to the ground. He is left alone as his son, the Rich Man left him at Frozen Village when he went to the Pirate Village The person left alone in the Frozen Village is the Sick Man.Someone left alone in the frozen village, is a story that is going to unfold." It basically means: "If you want power, fill the cup with water dripped from a leak.Left alone in the cold, is a story to be told". The poem reads: "If power you seek, fill the cup from a leak. (you can click on the cup or stand on the cup to equip) Grab the cup and proceed to Frozen Village. Inside, you will see a wall with another poem and a cup at the side. It will burn it down and open to reveal a secret room. Equip your torch and stand still next to the curtain. Enter through the door and you will see a curtain. Once you reach the Desert, look for a collapsed house with a red door (it is the home mentioned in the poem). It is dark inside, bring light into it.' (Bring light within is to tell you to take the torch.) It means:'In the desert, is where my home lies. The poem reads: 'lands of sand, my home does stand. Grab the torch and go to the Desert Island. Go down the hole, and you will see a poem on the wall with a torch on the side. Upon entry, you will see a hole in the floor (the hole is not accessible and is invisible for those who did not press all 5 buttons). After activating all five green tiles, go to the quest giver NPC house, right in the middle of the island above the lake and walk down the stairs. The other two are at the Gorilla King's island. The first three green buttons are at the main, quest giver island.

Bang. Bang bang. Your fists are softer than they should be against the thin metal. The knocking half hearted at this point.

This is the second month into the school year, and you've found yourelf in this exact scenario nearly every day. It's always right as you're heading to lunch. No matter where you happen to be, you're grabbed in broad daylight, hauled to your locker, and trapped there by one means or another, until you can figure your way out.

It's not the same people every time. They seem to rotate out. You think maybe they're on a schedule. Wonder if they coordinate with eachother and see what day is good for each of them. The idea makes you smile a bit, though it really shouldn't. Organized crime.

You don't always see who it is, but even if you do, it doesn't matter. Sky high doesn't have the best track record with this kind of thing. So, you mainly keep your predicament to yourself. Your teachers have enough to worry about, molding young superminds and all that. And your dad...you just really don't want your dad to worry.

It's not all bad though! Sometimes the cafeteria gets a bit too loud for you anyways. It can get pretty rowdy, especially when the students use their powers to show off to eachother (even though they're not supposed to outside of gym). So, really, a nice enclosed space isn't the worst place she could be, all things considered.

You sigh. It would be better if you had tater tots, though.

You hear footsteps down the hallway and perk up. Start banging your fist against your locker door in earnest.

"Excuse me? Hello?" You wait a moment and frown when there's no response. Try again.

"Would you mind opening my locker please? I'm inside of it!" Because that wasn't clear, surely.

"Whats the combination?" You hear, muffled. You grin in relief.

"It's 123"

Silence.

"Your locker combination is 123?" The voice is incredulous, maybe a little bit judgy.

"They find a way in anyway, it's easier for the janitor if I keep it simple so he can remember." You defend to the stranger through the metal.

You hear a sigh, and then the clicking of your lock, and then finally, the door opens.

The sight that greets you is not the last thing you expect to see, as it's not one of your bullies. But it's pretty close. Warren Peace is standing in front of you. The perpetually glaring, incredibly intimidating Warren Peace is your savior. Who would've thought?

You almost forget to climb out of your locker except he starts to look at you like you're stupid, and that's usually your cue to jump into action.

"Hi!" You say and he flinches. Too loud, woops.

Warren puts his hands in his pockets and turns to leave, this interaction apparently over for him.

You close your locker and hurry to catch up to him. "Thank you so much. I was getting hungry."

Warren nods. "Yeah, well..." He scratches the back of his neck.

It takes you a minute to realize you're headed outside.

"Did you already eat?" You ask.

"Lunch is almost over, so yeah."

You frown. There's probably not enough time for you to go get something and eat before fifth period. You brighten when you remember the chocolate your dad keeps in his mini lunch cooler. And you happen to be heading out that way.

"Do you like chocolate?"

"Why are you following me?" Warren looks put-out, but not for much longer, you decide.

"I'm thanking you."

"You already thanked me." He sighs.

"You didn't answer me. Do you like chocolate?" You persist. It's an important question, after all.

Warren pinches his lips together, looks like he's internally debating answering, and then reluctantly says "Yes." Before picking his pace up a bit so he's walking ahead of you out the school doors into the courtyard.

You speed up to match him, almost. "Good! Awesome. Follow me." You smile into his confused face and lock your arm around his before pulling him toward the school bus. He could get out of your hold easily, you're sure, but he doesn't, so he must be at least a little curious where you're going.

Your dad is on the other side of the bus when you arrive. You can see him practicing what might be karate moves under the shade of a big tree.

Warren looks less curious and more wary now as you tug his arm forward.

"What are you–?"

"Hey dad!"

You feel Warren startle beside you at the same time as you watch your dad startle in front of you. You watch him fall onto his butt after a particularly enthusiastic kick.

"Oww" your dad moans, and you grimace.

"Sorry."

He waves yoy off as he stands, giving you a smile through the pain. "It's okay, kiddo." You watch his eyes widen when he notices Warren beside you and he straightens his posture.

"Oh! Hi there, I'm Ron Wilson, bus driver", your dad whips out a business card and hands it to a bemused Warren. "And this little ray of sunshine's dad."

Your dad smiles at you proudly and you smile back. His eyes then flicker down to where your arm is locked around Warren's and a a weird expression crosses his face.

You flush and drops Warren's arm. Warren rolls his shoulders back like he'd been held captive against his will, which is just silly, and could finally stretch his muscles.

Warren glares at you a little as he makes eye contact with you before nodding at your dad. "Warren."

"You guys new friends?" Your dad asks, less excited than he usually is to meet new people. His eyes were still staring at where your arm was around Warren's.

Are you friends now? You're not sure. You don't remember the last time you made a friend, but a friendly gesture seems like the start of a friendship, right? That's how it was in kindergarten, you think.

"Warren helped me out with something at school today" you feel Warren give you a look and ignore it, "and I wanted to give him some chocolate to thank him. Do you have more in your lunch? I'll pay you back."

Your dad's features seem to clear up a little. He looks at Warren's eyes instead of his arm. "Oh, well that was nice of you! Sure, sure. What do you like, Hershey? Nestlé?" He goes to his cooler in the bus and starts rummaging around to find the goods.

You look up at Warren with an excited smile, and you watch as his glare loses heat almost reluctantly.

He rolls his eyes and leans toward you slightly. Murmurs as your dad is still in the bus. "I had stuff to do, y'know. Why am I out here meeting your dad?"

You frown. "It's not a proper thank you without sugar." You tell him. Wants to add duh but thinks that'd probably be rude.

He snorts. "Ah. Well then, of course. Proceed." He says it sarcastically, but he's still standing there so you know he wants the chocolate just as much as any sane person would.

Your dad backs out of the bus with his arms full of mini chocolates. Smiling, he gestures Warren closer with his head.

"Well, don't be shy!" Your dad jostles his armfull until Warren slowly walks over and takes some chocolate, looking pained. The effect is lost though, when he takes his time sorting through the chocolates until he finds one he wants.

Warren starts to back away but when your dad says "take two!" Warren doesn't hesitate.

"Uh, thanks. Sir." The words are clumsy in Warren's mouth and it makes you smile.

"Thank you dad!" You say as you take two for yourself. "See you later." Give him a kiss on the cheek and lead Warren back to the school where fifth period is probably starting.

You walk in silence through the doors and hide your chocolates in sync when you see Mr. Boy in the hallway.

The bell rings and when you turn to say goodbye to Warren, he's already gone.

———

It's a week later before you really see eachother again. You have gym together but nothing else, what with your ability to perfectly imitate birdcalls deeming you hero support, and him being a hero and all. Your hero, you giggle to yourself.

Distracted, you don't see the boys until it's too late. Two sets of arms are around you from the sides before you know it, hauling you up and, predictably, to your locker.

You think maybe by this point you should just resign yourself to the routine completely, but you can't help yourself from struggling against the hold. No one helps you as you look from face to face of your peers. Some look on with pity, some pretend not to see, and others don't care. A couple even laugh.

You feel stupid tears prickle at the backs of your eyes in frustration and struggle a little harder. Your attackers gasp and you think you've done something right, but when you twist around, you see the source of the change isn't you, it's Warren. He's got a hand on each of the boys' shoulders, and as you watch, smoke rises from his hands. He squeezes, and the boys' faces screw up and their bodies try to cringe away from him.

They drop you. You're too amazed to worry about your stinging tailbone. Although, no, actually that does sting really bad.

Warren's expression is barely any different than his usual one. Which is to say, it's intimidating. But now his brows are furrowed in disgust as he glares at them.

The kids manage to wrestle out of his hold and run off before he can grab either of them again. Warren turns back to you. He sighs heavily.

"So. That keep happening?" He asks, with an almost uninterested tone. Almost.

You nod. He nods back, thinking, as he looks around them. Glares at the people who make eye contact.

He takes a deep breath. "Well, are you hungry or are you just going to sit there all day?"

"Oh!" You must look silly sitting on the floor like that. Probably an improvement to how you look being shoved into your locker, though. You wipe the tears that from your cheeks discreetly and start to get up, when Warren grabs your arm and gently pulls you up.

He still looks bored when you're up and closer to eye level with him. But he can't fake nonchalance when he just stepped in to help you.

Your earlier thoughts come to mind. Your hero indeed. You're staring at him in awe when he clears his throat.

You're still both standing in the hall as bystanders walk past, uncaring, into the cafeteria.

"Sorry, yeah. Thank you. Again. Thank you so much." You smile your most grateful smile at him and he actually starts to look uncomfortable.

"I meant, are you going to lunch? They're gone." Warren stays standing in the hallway, waiting for your answer.

You can, now, you realize. You can actually go to lunch, and eat food, and not have your stomach complain at you the rest of the schoolday. You almost can't believe it.

"That would be nice." You say, in awe once again.

"'Kay. Go in then." Warren lifts his eyebrows and gestures for you to enter the cafeteria. You walk to the line and Warren follows behind.

After loading up your tray, you stand a few feet out of the line and stare out at the tables of kids eating and talking and laughing together. You don't know where to go now. There's only one empty table, and you watch Warren walk past you and sit down at it.

You look around for another few seconds before making a decision.

Warren looks up mid-bite as you put your tray down at his table. Place the pudding cup from your tray onto his. You look at him in silent question. He just stares at you for a moment, before returning to his food. He pulls the pudding a little closer to him. You take that as permission and settles down to eat.

Lunch is a quiet affair, but peaceful, and you find yourself smiling into your broccoli.

———

At first you think it might be a coincidence, when you start running into Warren right after the lunch bell rings. It could be a coincidence still, you think. But it's a coincidence that's happened every single day since he chased off those kids harassing you.

It could be a coincidence, but he sure does look like he's waiting for you, as he stands leaned against the hallway directly outside your classroom, and straightens up when you exit.

It could be a coincidence, you admits. Maybe. But you hope it isn't.

Each day you walk side by side to the cafeteria, as if you'd agreed to it. As if this was something you'd always done. You didn't, and you hadn't. You love it.

He's quiet, and brooding, and intimidating and lovely. These days you can't tamp down the fluttering in your stomach in fourth period as you anticipate the bell. A different sort of anticipation than you're used to. A good kind.

You try to dial down the smile as he looks over at you.

"What?" Warren frowns suspiciously.

"Nothing! Nothing. Just happy." You fold your hands together in front of you and hum as you head toward the food.

Warren lets you step in front of him in line and you each load up your trays before heading to a table.

Your table. Both or yours. You sigh happily.

It's technically, perhaps, just Warren's table. But since you sat with him that first time, you've continued every day since, and he hasn't shoo'd you off yet! It feels like a definite win.

"Hey Warren..."

Warren grunts in acknowledgement, shoving a fry in his mouth.

"Would you call us friends?"

He pauses in his fry-eating. Looks at you. Looks back down. Steals your jello.

"I mean. If that's what you wanna be."

You frown. Not as enthusiastic of a reply as would be optimal, but this is Warren you're talking to.

"Do you not want to be friends?" You can't help but ask. The evidence makes it seem ridiculous but you have to know.

He steals your plastic spoon and opens his pilferred jello. Speaks quietly. "If you want to be friends, we're friends, okay?"

It sounds like an admission to you.

"Are you sure you don't just like me for my food?"

Warren cracks a tiny smile, obviously relieved. "Who says I like you?"

"Little birdie" you grin coyly.

"Oh, and which bird would that be?"

You imitate a Blue Jay and Warren laughs.

Green Tara Shyama Tara (Sanskrit) Talon Abraxas

Maa Tara Mantra

The Maa Tara Mantra holds a special place within Buddhism, with "Om Tara Tuttare Ture Soha" as its evocative expression. This mantra encapsulates the qualities of Tara, an embodiment of courage, wisdom, compassion and liberation.

As a fully enlightened female Buddha, meditating on her helps you attain the qualities of Buddha. She is ready to spring to the aid of beings and that's why her right foot is slightly extended. On her right knee, she has her right hand out as a sign of generosity. The stem of a lotus flower, which is in bloom next to her left ear, rests in her left hand.The "Green Tara Mantra," with its focus on a specific aspect of Tara, invokes her dynamic energy. Chanting this mantra with sincerity aligns practitioners with qualities of Maa Tara mainly compassion and courage.

Rooted in ancient Buddhist traditions, the Maa Tara Mantra finds its origin in the reverence for Tara, the compassionate goddess. Tara's name translates to "star" or "guide," embodying the illuminating path she offers to seekers.

Essence of "Om Tara Tuttare Soha"

"Om Tara Tuttare Ture Soha" represents the Green Tara, a compassionate figure attuned to the needs of all beings. Let's find the meaning of this mantra and know what significance each syllable carries:

Om: "Om" symbolizes ultimate reality, Om is the essence of consciousness and represents the entire universe- past, present and future.

Tara: "Tara" represents compassion as it represents a being who has attained enlightenment but chooses to remain in the cycle of life (birth and death) to help others achieve liberation.

Tuttare: "Tuttare" invokes liberation from eight great fears namely fears of lions, elephants, snakes, thieves, fire, water, bondage, and evil spirits.

Ture: "Ture" helps to alleviate your physical, mental and emotional illnesses and represents liberation from suffering and disease.

IN SEARCH OF A RATIONAL GOD

Christians undermind Christianity when they attack atheist. It seems like they are very upset when a person does not BELIEVE in God! Why? If God exist what does it matter if a atheist does not believe in him? Why should it even matter to you? Because you are hung up on the word BELIEVE. You are simply mad because he does NOT believe, and more precise, he does not believe YOU or the god you rode in on. What you are saying is that if you do not 'BELIEVE' your god does not exist as in Jesus Christ! Wheras it would seem that God would exist rather I believed in him or not was atheist or not, if he rains on the good and bad, it would not matter to him either and certainly there would be no punishment or condemnation {as Jesus puts it} or retribution for my disbelief. But the word God has been currupted! The God I speak of is not the hideous monster of the Bible, nor the Satan of the same book, though they speak of Him.

"Before Abraham I was!" Haaa! "Before YOU, I AM!"

My Mind, my supermind is SATAN. My Peace is Satan! My Love is Satan! My Joy is Satan! My Power is Satan! My Wisdom is Satan! and my LIFE is Satan. No God needed.

I am Satan's Own. I am Satan's Son!

Peace In!

Hail Satan/Lucifer! Hail You! Hail Me!

Greetings folks! when you talk about tech so much its an inescapable fact that you're gonna came across into dystopic and unethical things eventually.. But what is it? a human genome experiment? or a implant that suppresses the mind and fills it with false memories.. which one is sounds more far fetch? meet Project COGNIFY!

a prison system that can suppresses the perpetrator's mind and fills it with victım's and their family's horror, grief and hatred for the criminal with ai generated memories!

Look, i know how does it sounds but this thing is real been researched, built and proposed already.. and about to implement on many prisons around the globe which who agrees to this "alternative" method..

in theory. our neural system accepts reality by its senses around by organs we have like eyes, nose, skin, ears, tongue etc. this project is twists our envoirmental vision by VR, excessive headphones and short term electrical zaps.

prisoners would be subjected to artificial memories in a virtual environment. The system creates customized AI-generated content that’s converted to visual information and delivered to the prisoner’s brain as well as the parts of their DNA and RNA linked to memory formation to establish a long term memory pattern -engadget

OK!! I know thats way too much to handle but before that how did we get here in the first place?

cognify project was started by an yemenian biologist and scientist Hashem Al-Ghaili.. before this stage this project was used for psychedelic tests like testing base cognitive functions and such by giving patients to play specifically crafted games. for most of the cases this idea was a success at the time most of the patients show improvement getting better at controlling their muscle system and most of the hospitals around the globe was adopted this methods at the time. around 2016 to 2023 they announced series of progress reports about the results and its effects (this separation is kinda necessary in this situation)

at first psychedelic research were only in health industry and getting more companize this idea before covid but after covid and home office era some companies were started to find more progressive ways to improve their workhaul and needless to say these guys offered a "solution!"

first: gamify the interview and casting process with more interactive hr system and give the candidate more *special* feeling

second: surveillance the behaviors of the person against a problem and acts against the both coworkers and menagers through the live meetings

third: reward the smarter and progressive ones with more break time and more interactive and interesting contents in online world which encourages people more brainstorming to creating more generative ideas and also more payroll! And the rest.. just, get rid of them!

four: repeat the process!

in the end et voila! you have a company full of superminds! i mean.. it is effective but..

While the technology is effective, it raises significant ethical questions. Is it humane to manipulate memories? What are the long-term psychological effects? The potential for abuse and the moral implications of artificially altering a person's mind are profound. Safeguards and ethical guidelines are crucial to ensure the technology is used responsibly.

now lets take a step back and return to our prison system for a moment shall we?

with this knowledge cognify company did menage to learn how to use envoirmental elements to manipulate minds and desicions..

at first stage its been proposed for 10+ year sentenced prisoners as "do you want to fullfill your whole of your sentence in 10 minutes?"

who would'nt right? :)

if prisoner or tester would agrees they put the headset and the glasses and connect bunch of electrodes onto head and upper arm area with that way while their ai model is generates event based videostream starts to play while the tester continues to watch these videos minor electroshocks starts to given to different parts of neural system and by that way mind can be manipulated as these external video stream slowly becomes recognising as actual memories

And finally looking ahead, Project COGNIFY might evolve to address other applications beyond the prison system. Potential future developments could include therapeutic uses for trauma victims or advanced cognitive training programs. However, the ethical landscape must be navigated carefully to prevent misuse.

Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future (Olaf Stapledon) "A work of unprecedented scale in the "future history" genre, it describes the history of humanity from the present onwards across two billion years and eighteen distinct human species, of which our own is the first. The book employs a narrative conceit that, under subtle inspiration, the novelist has unknowingly been dictated a channelled text from the last human species.

Stapledon's conception of history follows a repetitive cycle with many varied civilisations rising from and descending back into savagery over millions of years, as the later civilisations rise to far greater heights than the first. The book anticipates the science of genetic engineering, and is an early example of the fictional supermind; a consciousness composed of many telepathically linked individuals."

Last Chance to See (Douglas Adams & Mark Carwardine) "Though written in Adams' characteristically comic style, the book does not hide the true horror of the mass extinction of plants and animals being wrought by human interference and carelessness."
