Hi Everyone
I learned a new phrase this week although some 'lucky' people have known about it for years - artificial intelligence. Just goes to prove that I was always a slow learner. Anyway, a Head of Digital Technology said "By creating the cognitive technology infrastructure, we enable other businesses to take advantage of connectivity and computing capacity, as well as the predictive analytics and immersive capability we offer". As a simple soul who got his first job by correctly answering the question " What is 2 1/2 X 2 1/2" all I can offer in reply is "what the heck is he talking about"? or in local Potteries dialect Yer Wa. Anyway, this week some of the world leaders on a jolly in Japan have been alerted to the fact that if this whatever it is takes over our lives, they may be out of a job. They are being urged to make laws quickly to regulate whatever it is they have to regulate in order to protect us all from whatever it is we need protection from. You can see that I really don't understand what artificial intelligence is all about but what I do know is that if we have to wait for the world leaders to pass new laws to protect us, then this machine that will soon be cleverer than them, will soon be our new masters. The good news is that I assume that whatever it is will not need jets, bulletproof cars, and tough looking men in a dark suits with a gun on their hips, so that will go some way to saving the planet. That is of course unless there are two artificial intelligences as that will bring us all back to square one.
I have a laptop computer called a Chromebook which is confusing for me as although I have inspected it very carefully I cannot find any chrome anywhere. My logic tells me that it should be called a grey plastic book but I have to accept that Chromebook sounds more marketable. Anyway, I am led to understand that all the Rubbish on this Chromebook is stored "In the cloud". Now if you remember I missed an edition of this Rubbish a couple of weeks ago when we were in Portugal when my Chromebook would not work although it was perfectly fine at home here in England. I gave the matter a great deal of thought and suddenly understood what the problem was, we had spent nine days in Portugal with no cloud while here in England my Chromebook works perfectly well nearly all the time for pretty obvious reasons, we have cloud nearly all the time. Having said that as I write this rubbish we have a rare cloudless sky so perhaps my artificial intelligence friend has taken over. I am grateful however to the pilot of our jet who managed to avoid all my precious Rubbish files when he climbed through the clouds at Manchester airport.
Apparently, Donald has said that if he is elected President again in the next election he will end the war in Ukraine in a week. It would be obviously wonderful if that could happen but the reality surely is that it is a pipe dream of a deluded man. I cannot believe that anyone, including Republican voters believe that is possible but maybe Donald has something that he is not telling us, artificial intelligence.
Just a Thought:
Artificial intelligence will never take over the world as it will never beat human stupidity.
Thanks to the cloud all my devices are in sync, it's only my brain that does not know what is going on.
