Serena Butler was right about AI

AI and robotics are growing by leaps and bounds.  We’re certainly seeing it permeate marketplaces, take jobs, and become ever-more dominant in today’s thinking.  For example, even before Bill Bates-of-Hell and his statements about using AI to combat “misinformation”

Will Gov Nuisance’ New Law Get Every Dem PAC In California Charged With a Crime?

Gov. Nuisance has made it illegal in California to knowingly distribute “an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content.” This will result in lawsuits, not just because much of what Gavin’s water carriers put out there would violate his law.

Big Tech Conundrum: It Can’t Have A.I. and Reduce “Emissions” – Whatever Will It Do?

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage, but its pursuit—and that of profits—has created a problem. You don’t birth digital consciousness out of nothing.

It Ain’t AI if it Don’t Learn.

You read that right: you can’t call it Artificial Intelligence if it doesn’t fully imitate Human Intelligence. I used to teach this stuff at a local college in their 400-level computer science curriculum. The book was Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig.
