Could Artificial Intelligence (AI) Be A Jesus-Solution?

 Lets say you finally build AI, and on day one....you ask....how many genders are there?  AI answers....two.  

Because of the amount of trust you have....you now believe without any discussion...there are only two genders.

So you start asking all kinds stupid questions...finding that AI goes to the logical answer.

A year into this....you realize that woke-stuff is dissolving almost daily. 

Two years into existence, AI is now sending out personal letters/messages to losers....telling them to get a job and work for a living.  Your loser-daughter gets a message from AI....telling the 22-year old to move out of the house and get on with life.

AI eventually sends you a message....cut up the credit card, and avoid debt as much as possible.

AI will tell you that a $75,000 Ford F-150 pick-up isn't worth $75,000.....collapsing the entire industry.

Maybe this AI stuff fixes what is currently broke.

What If....Scenario After Polk Presidency

 I'm a map guy....I could spend hours each day looking at historical map.

This map?  It's what existed during the Presidency of Polk (1845-1949).

So you gaze at it....Mexico line? It goes 200 to 300 miles south of today's line.  

Yucatan?  Part of the US.

Cuba?  Part of the US.

Had things stayed the same?  You'd have five to six additional states today.

Condo Story

 I sat and read over this story here in the AM today (Sat).

Basically, you walked all the way from Peru....through the jungles of Panama, then bused up to Mexico where you crossed over, and those kind Texas folks put you on a bus to NY City.  Then that kind group of NY City folks up and gave you a luxury condo in Harlem?

I would be on the floor....thanking Jesus and God for all of the 'fairness' in life...leaving a mud-brick home on some hill, and getting such fine treatment in America.

Now, the Harlem long-term folks....the ones who've been there fifty years?  Oh, they have to be peeved big-time.

I just don't see the voting trend in November going to the Democrats in these big cities like NY City.

My Theory On Alien Extended Visitations

 I have probably five or six theories over the whole alien/UFO/UAP business, but I have sat and pondered a good bit on the visits, and why they continue.

Imagine that you are fairly advanced....maybe 1,000 to 10,000 years ahead of Earth.  You arrive on a ship with sixty alien associates, and the primary 'drive' for your civilization for the past 5,000 years....has been the art of studying things.  

So you arrive and on day one....find a spark plug.  It fascinates you and the folks onboard the ship.

You hand the spark plug to Gal-7 and Merv-4....PhD type aliens, and they spend over ten days analyzing the plug....how it was made....the materials used, and then write up a 40-page summary of the plug analyzed.

Another crew....Erg-4, Erg-3 and Yorg-1 go and find a box of pop-tarts.  They spend 12 days analyzing the box and contents.  They will eventually, after a week...come to a conclusion....yeah, it's junk food.  Then they write up a 25-page summary of the pop-tarts.

You see, the aliens are fixated on surveying things....taking them apart, and reverse-engineering them.  To be honest, they probably only intended to stay a week or two....but these crazy humans have made so many weird things....that they can't seem to find a way to exit Earth.

There's probably one whole team just for USB cables and trying to identify all of  the various types and purposes.  There's probably a team going over Alexa, and wondering how it works.  There's probably even a team trying to gather up 1,800 different fishing lures, and wrote a 1,500 page summary over the various types.

Yeah, they are simply consumed with passion....to study and define things.  Some of these folks will never leave Earth....because there's just too much to study.

After Reviewing This Atlanta Willis/Wade 'Theatrical-Show'

 Yeah, I admit....I've probably watched about four hours of the DA Fanni Willis business in the Atlanta court, and the questions posed to her boyfriend....hired-prosecutor Wade....the guy going after Trump on Georgia charges.

Four observations:

First, both are qualified for their jobs by the Georgia state bar association. But watching the talk an 'sense' of the two....I'm wondering how qualified the state bar association is....in testing and deeming people qualified for the profession.

Second, it just seems....every time that this guy Wade turned around and said he might hyped-up for a sexual romp....there had to be some money generated by Fanni Willis (minimum  of 1k in cash).  I'm mind-set to believe the other direction in things....like a guy having to pay $1k to a gal for a weekend romp....so this is a bit odd to me (a guy out of the 1970s).

Third, this idea of 'cash-is-king'....meaning you don't do bank transfers, credit cards, or keep your money 'safe' (in a bank).....is portrayed as a black 'thing'. To be honest, most rural people (black or white) tend to think in this mentality.  You can go into some rural county of Alabama and ask a hundred white guys about their credit card use....with more than half telling you they don't have such a card. Then they open up some pocket in their jacket.....showing  $16,000 in cash.  The same guy will admit to some safe in the barn with $40,000 in cash, and hidden under his tractor seat is a bag with a dozen gold coins worth $20,000.  

Fourth, this judge is stuck with a mess.  Both the prosecutor (Wade) and his 'boss' (Fanni Willis) have dug an extra big hole that cannot be readily explained.  Movement of campaign funds to a personal pocket of cash?  That was something that Willis should not have admitted to in court.  If you disqualify Wade at this point....then what?  Can you just bring in a new prosecutor?  

All of this drama making the state of Georgia look like some 3rd world country?  Well....yeah.  I even have to admit....with the thick Georgia accent that Willis has....there were various times that I had to halt the video and run it a second time....to understand what she said.

The Problem With Geography Knowledge

 As a kid in rural Alabama schools....I often felt 'blessed' with each geography/history class having a big US and world map.   Now, if you'd asked me of the 25-odd kids in the group....did kids have trouble with assembling where things were?  Oh yeah...probably a quarter of kids just could not handle maps, or names of countries/states.

I was reminded of this from yesterday....watching the Willis/Wade court episode from Atlanta.  Wade showed some geography knowledge....Ms Willis?  Near zero.

I agree....some folks are making it through fifty years of life, with marginal knowledge of geography.  If you mentioned some trip that your church-friend went on, and asked what states they went through....it's fifty-fifty if they can cite that answer.

Is this a big deal?  No.  It's like lawn mower maintenance knowledge....you don't need 100-percent of people or for that matter even 10-percent of people with such knowledge. But you probably need 2-percent of folks to preserve such knowledge.  

Did it make Willis look stupid?  There's probably ten questions that she fumbled through.  The camera didn't really catch the judge, but I would imagine he was mostly shaking his head.

Seven Observations

 1.  I sat and watched the Atlanta Q-and-A with the judge and Fanni Willis/Nathan Wade 'show' from yesterday.  

Seems to be a lot of money that kept getting handed over....in cash.  Maybe it was all OK with taxation....but you just start to wonder about that.

As for the 'show'?  It just felt like a Jerry Springer show.  

2.  Some Brit I noticed yesterday....used the term 'non-transgender-women' (NTW)....in referring to regular ordinary women.  I guess 'NTW' will start to turn into a normal phrase.

3.  There's about 20 occasions per day.....when I'm looking at social media, the news, various podcasts, or social media.....then I'm thinking...is this a parody?  For about 10 seconds....I'll feel this way, then realize....NO, it's not a parody, but it ought to be one.

4. If you'd asked me to gage people in the 1980s to 'today' (presently) on rage....I have to admit we just didn't seem to have rage existing in the 1980s.  Today?  It seems like every 30 minutes...I notice someone on social media or TV....in rage.

5.  I was sitting yesterday and watching business news.  They got to this odd topic.....job growth over the past two or three months.  Statistical data?  Well....the only plus-up....seems to be migrant-hired folks (cheap labor).  Beyond that, it's just awful flat.  I'm not sure all this positive chatter that the President does....really matters.

6.  Back in January....in Kansas....the bronze statue of Jackie Robinson was stolen.  So the cops found it.  The guy who stole it?  Well....Latino guy who wanted cash.  For all that chatter that came ten days after the statue was found missing.....now?  They can't really discuss finding the statue because it doesn't fit the narrative.

7.  Gen Z folks were polled....half of them say they trust AI more than their boss.
