ChatGPT's audit of a proposal to sponsors for a world-class project with €200,000

Image
User  Investigate according to the superradar scheme: https://www.tron.ru/2026/09/invest-ai-project-global.html AI Superradar Verdict The idea in the article is a distributed network for observing animal behavior + AI, which is supposed to find pre-seismic anomalies hours or days before an earthquake. The pain is huge, the potential economic effect is colossal, and modern cameras, microphones, and computer vision models have indeed drastically reduced the cost of testing the hypothesis. But as an investment project in the formulation of the article, I would not invest €200k right now in exchange for a stake. The reason is not that the idea is inherently impossible. The reason is that the article makes a leap from "there are separate interesting observations" to "a solution exists," and this specific transition has not yet been scientifically proven. Moreover, some of the evidence in the article is presented incorrectly. (tron.ru) At the same time, a much str...

Calling IT specialists: join the Stanford & UN competition at NeurIPS 2026

Image
On August 17, 2026, SimulacraBench — a NeurIPS 2026 competition was launched: AI must model population groups from UN microdata. The organizers are Stanford's Digital Economy Lab and the STAIR research group (Stanford CS), together with UNHCR, UNICEF and the World Bank. The development phase runs until October 30; the finals and prizes — November 1–14, 2026. I, Boris Yarovoy , author of TRON — a technology for the short-term forecasting of earthquake magnitude, location and time — am assembling a volunteer team to take part in this competition. A strong result at NeurIPS means a leaderboard position, international visibility and, above all, partners and resources for testing and validating the TRON prototype — and, subsequently, for scaling the technology. I am looking for IT specialists who understand (or want to understand) how AI works. Short-Term Earthquake Forecasting System TRON (Technology Real-time Online Nucleus) Write to me on LinkedIn with the subject line...

TRON Pilot Experiment at Gemma 4 Kaggle Hackathon 2026

Image
Gemma 4 Kaggle Hackathon 2026 took place from April 3 to May 19, 2026. The goal was to create solutions based on Gemma 4 multimodal models to address real-world global challenges.  TRON startup participated in the Global Resilience direction - building systems for disaster prediction and response. 1,610 teams participated out of 14,523 registered participants.  TRON technology author, Boris D. Yarovoy competed as a solo team of one person, writing all the software code for the pilot experiment independently. Hypothesis Multimodal neural networks, such as Gemma 4 from Google DeepMind, can detect changes in animal behavior by analyzing video recordings. This enables the transition from manual animal observation by humans to a fully automated system. Why Gemma 4 The multimodal Gemma 4 model is capable of working with video in zero-shot mode (without fine-tuning). This allows overcoming the limitatio...

TRON: How Animals Save Humans from Earthquakes

Image
  Earlier I showed you this text in the Americantranslation of Google Translate . Now look at the same text in the free translation of the Chinese AI DeepSeek What is TRON? TRON (Technology Real-time Online Nucleus) is an online technology for precise earthquake prediction. It analyzes behavioral anomalies in domestic and farm animals capable of sensing approaching seismic activity within a 50km radius 5-10 days before tremors. Origins of the Concept In 2001, researchers proposed using the internet to collect biological signals. After Japan's March 11, 2011 disaster, developers studied Ainu indigenous knowledge of predicting quakes through bear behavior. The 1975 Haicheng earthquake (China, magnitude 7.3) proved pivotal - authorities evacuated the city based on reports of animal distress, saving 97% of the population - marking history's first successful mass earthquake prevention. Why Animals? Since 373 BCE (Pliny the Elder's accounts of Greece's quake), animal...
