Scammers turn to ‘ghost-tapping’ retail fraud to launder funds
A new report described how criminals use “ghost-tapping” — when stolen payment card details are uploaded onto a burner phone and used in-person to purchase goods.

This random NPC ghost is the best character in the whole game!

So arguably the Pac-Man ghost logic is the exact opposite of “AI”.
It’s extremely well defined behavior based on very basic deterministic algorithms that are so simple a 8-year old player can understand them and anticipate them correctly for those high-scores.
The game actually is famous for the simple enemy logic and studied by games designers for it.
Pac-Man enemy behavior:
deterministic, well-defined algorithm that can easily be executed on the most primitive* computer hardware
“AI”:
black-box algorithm with indeterministic behavior that requires a metric shitload of compute
—
*By “primitive computer hardware” I mean that the Pac-Man arcade machine runs on a Zilog Z80 CPU with 8,500 transistors.The CPU in the phone you are reading this on has (latest iPhone as example) 15 billion transistors or so (almost 2 million times more) and runs tens of thousands of times faster.

Quantum Assisted Ghost Gutzwiller Ansatz
The ghost Gutzwiller ansatz (gGut) embedding technique was shown to achieve comparable accuracy to the gold standard dynamical mean-field theory method in simulating real material properties, yet at a much lower computational cost. Despite that, gGut is limited by the algorithmic bottleneck of computing the density matrix of the underlying effective embedding model, a quantity which must be converged within a self-consistent embedding loop. We develop a hybrid quantum-classical gGut technique w…

Ghost-Free Quantisation of Higher Time-Derivative Theories via Non-Unitary Similarity Transformations
We address the long-standing ``ghost problem" in higher time-derivative theories (HTDTs), where quantisation typically yields sectors with either unbounded spectra or non-normalisable eigenstates; both rendering the theory unphysical. We propose a novel method that preserves the bounded nature of the spectrum in one particular sector while restoring normalisability by employing a non-unitary similarity transformation. Inspired by techniques from pseudo/quasi-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum mecha…

A Ghost Lemma for Commutative Ring Homomorphisms via André-Quillen Homology
We adapt the theory of ghost maps from derived categories to the setting of commutative rings using André-Quillen homology. The Frobenius endomorphism is a primary example of a ghost map in this setting. We prove an analogue of the ghost lemma for rings and demonstrate its utility by deducing a characteristic independent generalization of Kunz's theorem and an analogue for complete intersection rings.

A_infinity Action of Open N=2 Superstring Field Theory
We formulate a string field theory for open N=2 strings with an A_infinity algebra structure. Starting from the BRST cohomology relative to the U(1) anti-ghost zero-mode, we generalize [arXiv:1312.2948] and constructed all interacting vertices recursively and without singularity. We also show that our string field theory reproduces the correct perturbative S-matrix.

Slopes of modular forms and the Ghost conjecture
We give an algorithm to compute the slope sequence of modular forms with fixed Galois components from its first few entries, which is a refined version of the conjecture of [Buz05]. We use the results of arXiv:2302.07697 on the ghost conjecture from axXiv:1710.01572. These symmetries in slope sequences have potential implication to unexplained symmetries in many Coleman-Mazur eigencurves.
