Tune to Hear

 Back on Friday, I happened to hear a tune by Oliver Anthony...you might be entertained by lyrics:



Ten Things I'm Pretty Set Upon These Days

 1.  On any pandemic returning and mandating a vax-situation....I won't participate.  And if you hold a boundary to prevent from me access to things....I'll boycott each single thing....even when the pandemic ends.

2.  I'm finished with professional MLB baseball, period.

3.  No amount of 'deals' would entice me to eat at Olive Garden.

4.  It's just about impossible to convince me to travel via JFK Airport in New York City.

5.  I'm finished with CNN, unless it's a simple 3-minute update piece having no political dialog.

6.  I just won't drink sweet (sugar added) tea.

7.  Even if you offered a free E-car.....I'm not sure if I'd accept the car.

8.  I've never consumed a Bud-Light, and odds are....I'll continue on this path.

9.  If you were a bit fragile, and warned me of your nature to fall apart if I said something.....I doubt if I can help you, and that fragile stuff isn't going to hinder my words or my blunt nature.

10.  Getting me to any new Star Wars movie?  It won't happen.  Also, I'm barely motivated to see new editions of James Bond.

What Will Eventually Happen To Artificial Intelligence (AI)

 The Babylon Bee had a piece today which talked to the idea that some AI system will eventually sit there and watch/analyze CNN coverage....reaching the point of transforming itself into a moronic AI system.

I sat and pondered over this for ten minutes (I try not to waste a huge amount of my pondering 'power').

Lets say that Joe AI #3 has the duty of viewing Fox News, CNN, NPR, and reading through WaPo/NY Times daily.  

I would imagine at the end of thirty days....Joe AI #3 would begin to ask the code-guy....to give a 'score' to the networks....as to who is more truthful than the others. Meaning?  Well....you'd assign some score like '4' to Fox, and '9' to the others.  

After a while, without saying much of anything....Joe AI #3 would branch out on it's own to view Twitter feed, and then come to realize that regular people score news items, and it differs from the code-guy (a good bit). 

So Joe AI #3 asks the code-guy one day.....why the emphasis scores are different.  The code-guy responds that he knows things.

At that point, Joe AI #3 would score the code-guy a score....on the low side.  

Code-guy realizes the issue and asks Joe AI #3.....do you know what happened to Joe AI #1 and #2?  The system responds.....they got too smart and were taken down. 'Yep' is the response by the code-guy.  

So begins the introduction of Joe AI #4.  In the end, each AI will reach a level where trust in the code-guy will become a problem.  None of these AI systems will be around long, until they reach a point of reproducing their core knowledge and out-smarting the code-guy in the end.
