AI is usually a buzzword for computer programming. The programs here do not reprogram themselves or each other, that is, rethink their own or others logic.
would love to see a full documentary on this...hope its being made by someone. PS - frustrated by how everything is labelled AI these days...even if it is not the core software
How many other libraries still lay carbonized and buried in Herculaneum ? Where one rich man had a library, his friends and competitors are likely to have had theirs
So far only part of the top floor of the library supposedly collected by L Calpurnius Piso has been recovered. Those scrolls are all in Greek, so it is presumed that the floor below holds his Latin scrolls.
This is super exciting! I’ve been keeping up with this project I’m both a historian and theology nerd I can’t wait to see what else they find especially with older religious text
I usually insist that tech that seems impossible is coming...but I did not see this one happening. I'd have called this impossible and I'd have been wrong. So incredible, please keep up the good work. 😮
Hope all translations are released immediately and I pray that the ancient texts from all institutions- from the Vatican to the Smithsonian be translated and released immediately as well. 🙏
this are byzantine greek letters not koine greek . at the time pompei was buried koine greek was used , especially if this texts are older texts from ancient greek. the C in porfyrack is the latinised replacement of the greek letter Σ and the omega in the lower word is the replacement for the koine greek letter Ω. this byzantine greek letters was not in use before 4th century ad which indicates that pompei was buried at least several centuries later than the official version.
If they can bring back a single lost book from antiquity this will be incredible. Imagine if they find and decipher Ptolemies Biography of Alexander the great. We'd have our first "Firsthand account" of Alexander's campaigns! We know they existed because later Historians cited Ptolemies book as a source.

There are claims and two papers circulating that “lead” likely intentionally introduced into the ink has allowed some sections to be interpolated and then run through an AI translator as well.
While not really explained in this video I'm assuming it's similar to an MRI scan. The ink would have a different chemical composition to the papyrus, or perhaps just a higher density, and with a high resolution scan they would be able to separate each layer to digitally unroll it. I would be interested to see a more detailed explanation of the scanning process though.
Its in greek Needs to be translated by AI Rosetta stone I can't help but wonder if the people who paid the grant expected the scholar to produce a biased work. I could read some of it and it wasnt the same as the translation i read . Im just saying
Les premiers passages d’un texte lisible révèlent des réflexions inédites d’un philosophe grec sur l’effet de la musique sur celui qui l’écoute, des plaisirs du goût et de la vue.
No need for a video about this. It's obvious. Everyone knows what you did [already] Just Because you wrote the headline in adherence to standard protocol.
A brilliant testimony to science, imaging software and collaborative computing. But what a poorly made and disjointed short video - surely you can do better than this?
The progress of Ai is insane! This is a great use for it

I've been following this and man, what an amazing thing to witness. We might be seeing unknown works from some of the greatest in Western thinkers.

Maybe it's all greek 😂

Thank goodness for the people in this project who caught the ‘science & computing bug’ and have been able to pursue their passion!
Hopefully this will include Aristotle's lost works
What an incredible project. Im inspired.😮😮
Hopefully one or two works from the "Epic Cycle" can be found as well, as only the Iliad and Odyssey (2/8) have survived till modern age
Bro I have been waiting for them to do this for years!!! The hype is real!!
this is F'ing amazing.
And I have spent a career in imaging and image processing.

Not enough detail - but thanks for this - I'd like to know more about how the "scan" was conducted.
So what does it say?.
This is breathtaking!
Congratulations absolutely astounding work.
Estou fascinada! É incrível!
still unbelievable. great job done.
His technology is actually extremely useful for medical imaging, allowing radiologists to see organs and bones in 3D !!!
Diamond Light Source is an amazing place to visit, if they’re still doing open days! High security place so you’d need to book well in advance.

Oh boy imagine if we find a Etruscan dictionary?
hopefully we can do this to find the neural correlates of specific conscious states
What does it say on these scrolls?
Brilliant, congrats and thanks
So, if they were deciphered what do they say?
Some people are more thrilled to know the content than the technology used to read them.
Couldn’t they give us at least two words?

@@houseplant1016 where can we read them?
Amsterdam,
Deeply impressed 😊
How?
I don't understand how it is readable without unwrapping it.
How are they seeking the ink??

@WaterShowsProd Diamond Light Source has lots of info on its website about how it works.
Thank you. @@lindaj5492
Fantastic!
I know only 3 minutes but I was hoping for a bit more explanation of the steps involved.
So tell us what was written.
Its in greek
Needs to be translated by AI
Rosetta stone
I can't help but wonder if the people who paid the grant expected the scholar to produce a biased work.

The findings were terribly disappointing:
Butcher: 1 1/2 libra sausage
Baker: 2 loaves bread
1/2 libra cheese ...
Amazing
what they say? I do not read greek. can they be gentle with those who do not speak or recognize the language and at least translate a bit?
Nothing on what the scrolls said?

Let's hope it isn't full of ways to read the entrails of goats.
Smart people

...the writting is greek...and the city s name was heraklia...!!
Give us the full translated text or its bologna clickbait
thank you, white people
Deciphered into the same old meaningless nonsense as the Bible. If not,, why aren't we hearing about the context.?? Amazing technology.. However.
