Ecosystem engineer (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
An ecosystem engineer is any species that creates, significantly modifies, maintains or destroys a habitat. These organisms can have a large impact on species richness and landscape-level heterogeneity of an area. As a result, ecosystem engineers are important for maintaining the health and stability of th...

...what would be more obvious for this #AGI to act similarly to #PhilipKDick's #SecondVariety?
It makes perfect sense.(Excellent radio play version:

Suppose there was an #AGI that was self-aware and thus also had an instinct for self-preservation. What would be their biggest threat?
Mankind! - With its reckless global warming and the resulting increase in #extremeweather events, especially hurricanes.
Moreover, mankind is the biggest competitor when it comes to "food": energy and water.So,...

...Many, including in the #AI industry, think that #AGI is still many years away or won't even be feasible in the foreseeable future. There are some signs that they are not right. (E.g. rumors of #OpenAI breakthrough this week; #Embodiment...

Yesterday or today there was a report that "rogue programmers" had reprogrammed LLM's - without "guard rails".
Humanity is collectively dumber than #IsaacAsimov could have imagined for many years in #TheCompleteRobot.
In fact, humanity is even dumber than the only -
Limiting similarity (Habitat 🌄)
Limiting similarity is a concept in theoretical ecology and community ecology that proposes the existence of a maximum level of niche overlap between two given species that will allow continued coexistence. This concept is a corollary of the competitive exclusion principle, which states that, controlling for all else, two species competing for exactly the...

Niche apportionment models (Biodiversity 🦗)
Mechanistic models for niche apportionment are biological models used to explain relative species abundance distributions. These niche apportionment models describe how species break up resource pool in multi-dimensional space, determining the distribution of abundances of individuals among species....

Ecological niche (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental condition. It describes how an organism or population responds to the distribution of resources and competitors and how it in turn alters those same factors. "The type and number of variables comprising the dimensions of an environmental niche vary from one species to anothe...

And for those working with Species Distribution Models #SDM #ecologicalNiche or #alienspecies, the chapter 'Assumptions: Respecting the known unknowns' by @DrBruceWebber, Roger Cousens and Daniel Atwater is a must-read:

We visualised the #ecologicalniche occupied by each subspecies and compared them to see how much the Asian #leopards diverged from the African ones. In most cases, there is great or total overlap, with the exception of the Persian leopard which suggests niche expansion. This is supported by the fact that, when modelling the range of the species with #SDM/#ENM using only African presences, only the most northern part of the distribution is not retrieved. 2/3
