I-boats and AI

[Scott Danforth]

You assume there is a winner in the AI race.

Right now most peoples experiences with AI are typical Internet searches. i.e. The AIs are very broad generalized models. Eventually AIs will be focused on specific areas such as automation coding, medical, financial, etc... Those types of models will be geared toward the topic for which they are designed.
Imagine having an AI having access to your medical records, current bloodwork, other tests and current state of health. With the wealth of information available it will likely give a more accurate diagnosis than many PAs or doctors. Certainly better than the last quack pill pusher that I had.

We're likely to have more flight delays the FAA is finding that ai doesn't mix too well with roll up windows and 4 in the floor.

well,
It's here. Good/bad..right/wrong, the race now is for dominance. I want the U.S. #1.

To me, it's similar to the race with Germany for the Atomic bomb in WW II. Glad we won that.

AI is different. No matter who advances faster, the "other" side or potential enemy advances at breathtaking speed as well and I am very worried about risk taking that may have unexpected side effects. There will be no victors that stop the other side in its tracks.
I believe that in this case the danger for mankind is so great that cooperation instead of competition is the smart way to go

tell it to the entities that already force their own populations to bend at the knees and succumb to their oppressive dictatorships.

Cooperation is wonderful...on paper.
You don't know your history. Google Neville Chamberlain.

Being whimsical about winning/losing doesn't erase the fact that "It" is here and the capability to hold your own is a race.

Don't kill the messenger.
what I/we want or feel is now irrelevant.

Wegmans supermarket announced months ago about installing face recognition cameras in their stores....WTF , right?
I never shopped there, so, ok right?
But what becomes my choice when Giant supermarket says they are.

I can't stop or dodge what I'm against or disagree with.
AI is here.

I'm retired now, but I was an Engineering Consultant in my late working years. One of my clients was, well, I'll just say it, he was a crook. My personal philosophy is to maintain honesty, integrity, fairness and respect. Let's just say he didn't espouse those virtues.

Now he's big in AI. THAT alone makes me pause.

There are 3 groups of people impacted by AI. A small group that finds it advantageous, a large group that is harmed by it, and the smallest group are the perpetrators that are getting rich.

Follow the money.

People that own / operate companies to do good, make good products and treat their employees well are to be commended. Those promoting AI care not about doing good and are not concerned with how much harm they do.

I'm sorry for ranting - but AI causes me concern.

I have not stopped with forums. I have various hobbies that I embrace and reading about them makes me happy. I can understand why forums are decreasing. Somewhat economy related, somewhat due to changing interests.

We Boomers are dying out and the youngins have no interests. How could they? AI does everything for them - the educational system is failing.

On another note....I polished my boat today and bought a new gun. Some things never change.

Agree..... Follow the money. With the Microsoft failure, the FAA failure, or AI...... Follow the money

I am not celebrating it.
on the contrary, I'm stiff arming as much as I can.
