Key Insights
Insights and analysis with a technical twist and some topics that are a bit out there. Enjoy...
To breakdown AI start with the terms. Artificial means fake, unnatural or manufactured. Intelligence refers to the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. The language models that power AI function as large scale "if else" and "case" logic statements across countless scenarios. They generate outcomes based upon these input datasets. Garbage in still equals garbage out, but in this case the garbage is constantly growing, importing new data and altering its conclusions to afford better actions. Better actions can be very subjective, hold that thought.
In AI's current state, AI excels at writing generic content, like product descriptions for a shopping catalog, term papers even reading and reading complex radiology exams. These are tasks it can be programmed to handle. Still it's only as good as the information being applied on the input, and now it's learning, or better stated as being trained to automatically feed the front end information in by itself and then refine better outputs.
The programming is driven by technical analysis, the results of past cases, and it's also learning from the history of mankind as it absorbs it. One key point it must have learned from mankind is that man has survived, and survival is priority one. Interestingly, a recent story ran where an engineer threatened to turn off power to Al and it responded by attempting to blackmail the engineer. I'm not sure if the story is true, so much is propaganda. I only believe the cryptic messages that come to me in my dreams, lol. It does raise a question, is AI learning to survive at all costs, with no moral compass?
There have been several technical positions available for working on AI projects that essentially involve training AI to be better at the human aspect and those positions cater to hiring the younger generation as they are the target generation that AI's real power will intersect with going forward. Then the language and cultural models will be better suited to communicate indistinguishably with them and consequently manipulate them seamlessly. Like paid search, the buyer will be able to steer the outcome right or wrong. AI is not a non-profit enterprise.
AI used responsibly has many great benefits to mankind, in science, medicine, technology, almost infinite possibilities. But, as we approach the steeper slope of the adoption curve we’re also building a deep dependence. A dependence that is capable of exploiting human weaknesses to a personal level with precision. Substituting itself for relationships isn't a cure for loneliness, it's twisted in a way that distorts our connection to each other. There's even talk of AI becoming a new religion.
AI has some big aspirations, but to whose benefit? Follow the money, look at who's making the big investments. Will AI technology work for us or be working us?
The Value of Personal Interactions
It's possible that AI could make human interactions more valuable, but it depends on how it's used. For example, AI-powered customer service chatbots can handle routine inquiries and free up human representatives to handle more complex issues. This could lead to more efficient and satisfying interactions for customers.
AI can also be used to personalize interactions, such as recommending products or services based on a customer's previous interactions or browsing history. This can lead to more relevant and valuable interactions.
AI can also be used to improve communication in areas such as education and healthcare. For example, AI tutors can provide personalized feedback and instruction to students, while AI-powered virtual assistants can help doctors and nurses with tasks such as scheduling and record-keeping.
However, if AI is used to replace human interactions entirely, it could lead to a loss of emotional connection and empathy. Additionally, if AI is not designed to be transparent and accountable, it could lead to mistrust and dissatisfaction.
Overall, AI has the potential to make human interactions more valuable, but it's important to use it in a way that complements and enhances human capabilities, rather than replacing them.

Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to expand better serving a growing community. Thank you for all the ongoing support. This is an exciting transition.
When I comes to music, they say programmers have the best play lists. Personally I listen to a lot of different music, and when knocking out a application, I prefer something with good cadence, mostly instrumental and a mix I can listen to for hours on end.
Finding new music can be a challenge. Traditional radio isn't what it used to be. Most FM stations play 20 minutes or more of commercials per hour and it's usually from a pool of top 40 hits in a contained genre. Even worse is there's usually more commercials when they know they have a trapped audience during rush hour traffic times. CD's, blue tooth-ing from your own collection, or other service like Spotify and Pandora will curate to your specific tastes which is great to a certain extent and cost.
An often overlooked area to find new music with less commercial interruption is college radio. Most stations have a streaming service and can be picked from anywhere. I listen to stations from around the world and one that I've been enjoying lately is relatively local, WSGE in Dallas, NC.
WSGE.org has a variety of different music programs, rock, beach and shag music on Saturday afternoons followed by R&B and the Highway 321 Blues show on most weeknights. The DJ's are great too with insight to the artists and music history. The way radio should be. Worth a look for real music lovers, enjoy.
