Its slim profile and ability to operate (after setup) without a monitor, or even keyboard attached, means it occupies minimal space on your desktop. ![]() Users just need to load the latest Quantstamp node release and follow these instructions to start earning QSP for helping scale smart contract security. It also comes pre-loaded with Ubuntu Linux and Docker to simplify the node setup process. It has compact dimensions (117mm x 112.0mm x 39.0mm), a powerful Core i3 processor, 128GB M.2 SSD and 16GB of DDR4 memory. “We’ve now got AI and all sorts of interesting things to contend with,” she added.The Quantstamp Node Box is a low-profile general purpose computer which makes it easy to run Quantstamp Security Network node software. Juliana Delaney, chief executive of the new Loch Ness Centre, also thinks AI may pose a problem down the line, and hoaxes are “even easier now than they were in the 1930s”. Searching for the Loch Ness monster, Mr Feltham said, is “going to become untenable” as the world is not going to be able to know what is real or fake. “I could see a time sometime in the future, depending on how fast the AI technology develops, where I’d be redundant in identifying what’s in the photograph and the only occupation I would be left with would be the main core of what I do, which is staring at the body of water trying to spot something myself.” But this is the dawn of flight for that technology, they are going to get better and better and it’s going to be such that I’m not going to be able to tell whether it’s the real thing or AI. “AI at the moment makes very good pictures but you can still tell it’s an AI image. “I do see a possible end to my ability to identify what’s in a picture as a mundane false alarm or something unexplainable,” he warned. If a real sighting of Nessie and a sham can not be told apart, then the folklore wanes. Hoaxes, Mr Feltham says, pose a threat to the Nessie legend. “I’ve exposed dozens of photographs over the years.” ![]() ![]() “When I sense that there’s something amiss in a picture, I’m like a dog with a stick,” he said. ![]() I treat it like a giant jigsaw puzzle,” Mr Feltham said.īut exposing the hoaxes, he says, is a crucial part of his role because there needs to be a chance that a photo of Nessie is real and people do not automatically discount it as fake, in order for the legend to persist. Nine in 10, he says, are people who are convinced they have seen the mythical monster but are mistaken.įive per cent are troublemakers coming to start another hoax, much like Marmaduke Wetherell did in 1933 when he used a hippopotamus ashtray to try to claim a newspaper reward for finding Nessie, and the other five per cent, Mr Feltham says, are unexplained events. He says that a major part of his work is to screen purported sightings of Nessie. Steve Feltham has been living in a van at Loch Ness for more than 30 years and is a full-time Nessie hunter. Since The Inverness Courier first ran a story about the Loch Ness monster in 1933, there has been an obsession with the Scottish lake and what may be hidden inside.Īldie Mackay, manager of the Drumnadrochit Hotel, said that she saw a “beast” in the loch on April 14, 1933, and since then there have been innumerable hoaxes, myriad theories and various scientific studies to try to find the unidentified leviathan of the loch. Artificial intelligence could spell the end for one of the world’s biggest mysteries – as experts fear that AI-generated images of the Loch Ness monster could soon be indistinguishable from genuine photographs.
