A fan of AI not

 AI is taking over.  Whatever happened to straight up information?  Google the most mundane topic say "how to change a light bulb" and you get about two seconds of the ai "thinking" then you get the AI Overview.  There are many concerns about ai but one of mine is you can get a rogue ai spreading misinfo along the web.  Not even a malicious ai but maybe just a faulty ai.  I've heard it explained that the ai will scour the internet and sometimes pick up false information and rumors and present it as fact.  You'll occasionally see the disclaimer that the information presented by ai can contain mistakes and may not even be 100% accurate so why would you use it in a school report?  When I was a yoot we used to use the encyclopedia as a reference.


Which brings us back to Trump.  He has already posted ai-generated images of himself as pope and as Jesus.  Perhaps a more accurate ai rendition might be that of a mad Emperor and his few remaining loyalists feeding him grapes.  You know who you are.

  1. Now we have Wikipedia and for the others Conservapadia - the highly touted quantum cubit computers are in a stage where no one knows what to do with them, since they are based on super imposed chaotic binary atoms. Dunno, maybe AI can figure them out (or vice versa)

  2. A D-Wave costs what only $15 million dollars?

    I do read Wikipedia but my thing is it's constantly being edited (citation needed).

  3. So during my freezing pipe situation the first plumbing place we called you connected first with an ai robot and explained the situation. Everything went downhill from there.

  4. On the human thinking paradigm, we note the following quiz -
    Famous Theologians =
    One speaks several languages, the other has trouble with English
    One was elected by Cardinals, the other by Goony Birds
    One wears a mitre, the other a red baseball cap
    One is celibate, the other thrice married with a dozen affairs.
    Put on your thinking cap and concentrate - any answers?

    1. Excellent find BB! Would be great if you made the wrong dietary decision and you're on the way to work. Wouldn't have to stop at a McDonald's and hope the stall is unoccupied.

  11. Trump to Iran : "No more Mr. Nice Guy". Other than promising his voters everything and delivering nothing, what's the magnetism?

  12. Do you suspect the Kessler Effect?

  13. Had to google. Put on the list of things to worry about.

    I don't get the magnetism. More than that the unwavering loyalty. It'd be like people who like to listen to Tiny Tim.
