RE: A Personal Manifesto for the Age of AI
Lol! I certainly feel that age-related irrelevance from time to time—it's almost like I'm speaking another language sometimes. The ability to Reflect and Validate was largely lost! A few pockets of people

RE: A Personal Manifesto for the Age of AI
Thanks Krisz! I wish more people "got it" but, sadly, the average person doesn't or is just completely disinterested.

RE: A Personal Manifesto for the Age of AI
Yeah, so far the validity of the AI output has been biased depending on the information sources it's drawing from—until it has the ability to truly "think" and discern independent of source data.

I'm the same way! I still remember our childhood phone numbers from fifty years ago but have no clue what my closest friends' phone numbers are now.

RE: A Personal Manifesto for the Age of AI
I think you might be correct about AI freeing us from the screens. That's what I was hoping for with that wave of AI devices that debuted a little over a year ago (the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit) but they

It's evolved so quickly it's been difficult to keep up and this rate of evolution will only continue to get faster! I was speaking with someone who works at a university a few months ago and they were

Thanks Luis! These next few months are going to be very interesting for us all! I hope you're enjoying your week.

RE: Old Roadside
What a wonderful snapshot of this experience! Being raised in the US, as hard as I try, I can't get used to the tiny coffees on that side of the ocean. : ) Is Turkish coffee similar to espresso?

RE: Attaining the Unattainable
I highly recommend it. I've been lucky with the Tesla because I really push it sometimes but it's more stealthy because it looks like a sedan and doesn't make the noise a Vette does.

RE: AGI Isn’t Just On The Doorstep, It’s About To Walk Right Through Our Front Door
It is scary, @bozz! There are so many unknowns and this is the hard part. The fact that we don't have a social safety net already in place probably is the scariest part of it all to me.

Thanks and happy (belated) Sunday to you! The economy is such that side hustles are imperative here in America for most people, even if they have a good paying full-time job. People will have to get very

You're right, the average Joe/Jane are addicted to a whole lot. It's important for all of us who want to retain our humanity to start thinking of a moral framework for how we use AI. I think there's a

You're not kidding. Few humans have proven to not be corrupted by power, it's the ultimate intoxicant for us. Andrew Yang is also pretty well-versed in tech from what I've seen. He's trying to get a viable

I can't wait to experience the Corvette! I can imagine my brother and I will probably swap cars (Vette and the Tesla) and go carve out some of these twisting country roads around here. There's a tire shop

I miss that visceral experience too. I owned only manual transmission cars from 1986 until 2013 just because they were less expensive and more reliable. They're hard to find in the US now! I can't see

Yeah, it dropped on Anthony Bourdain's birthday (6/25). The new generation of Vette is in a whole new class. I still don't know how the engineers packed so much into a car of that price range. It's a true

I do that with books too Nancy! I've vowed to only buy 2-3 at a time and not buy anymore until that batch is read. Otherwise things could quickly spiral out of control. Lol. We used to collect those model

The acceleration is crazy. My Model 3 will go from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. It takes off with so much torque that it actually makes your vision blur. My 2022 is kind of a one trick pony though because the

I'm so sorry to hear about this horrible tragedy, Lizelle! Life doesn't seem fair sometimes, that's for sure. I hope they have a network of friends that can offer some support.
