    I encountered my first robot 40 years ago, and have followed the field ever since. I am interested in the miscommunication that robots and humans will have. We could see some very strange scenarios because it's two different worlds talking to each other. I recently published a novel called Frankie. "She" is designed to be harmless. So why are people dying, in the story?

    According to new research, deep learning models based on artificial intelligence can identify someone’s race merely by looking at their X-rays, which would be impossible for a human doctor looking at the same photos. The findings raise several serious concerns concerning AI’s role in medical diagnosis, assessment, and treatment: Could computer algorithms mistakenly apply racial bias when analyzing photographs like these? An international team of health researchers from the United States, Canada, and Taiwan tested their AI on X-ray images that the computer program had never seen before after training it with hundreds of thousands of existing X-ray images annotated...

    The Dinesh D’Souza documentary, 2000 Mules offered insight into how the 2020 Election could have been hijacked. It also introduced many to location and data tracking, and how this could be used for more conservative causes: like being able to track a woman who may be seeking an abortion.VICE is aghast that a capitalist company Safegraph would dare sell its data for profit and marketing purposes, instead of ideology. The leftist new media arm quickly sounded the alarm:How data collecting intersects with abortion rights, or the lack thereof, is likely to gather more attention in the wake of the draft....

    At least half of President Biden’s 22.2 million Twitter followers are bogus, a new audit revealed. The audit, which was done for the social media giant by software firm SparkToro, found that 49.3% of the president’s followers are “fake followers,” according to Newsweek. SparkToro has defined “fake followers” as “accounts that are unreachable and will not see the account’s tweets (either because they’re spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they’re no longer active on Twitter).” Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is currently attempting to buy Twitter, has expressed concern over the growing number of fake accounts and proposed a potential...

    Regime change coming in Russia, China and the United States? Sure looks like it, and in the meantime, can I pour you a nice, frosty bottle of Bill Gates’ new lab-grown Biomilq? It’s yummy! In Russia, Vladimir Putin has declared war on Ukraine, but it’s the weirdest war you ever saw and Putin is suffering with major health issues and complications. In Communist China, Xi Jinping has suffered a cerebral aneurysm, and is currently incapacitated. In America, Joe Biden’s poll numbers are just as low as his cognitive function, causing him to spew nonsense on a regular basis, with politicians...

    An alien species is headed for planet Earth and we have no reason to believe it will be friendly. Some experts predict it will get here within 30 years, while others insist it will arrive far sooner. Nobody knows what it will look like, but it will share two key traits with us humans – it will be intelligent and self-aware. No, this alien will not come from a distant planet – it will be born right here on Earth, hatched in a research lab at a major university or large corporation. I am referring to the first artificial general...

    The U.S. government has reportedly opened an investigation into Elon Musk’s business dealings surrounding his recent $44 billion purchase of Twitter. “The Securities and Exchange Commission is probing Mr. Musk’s tardy submission of a public form that investors must file when they buy more than 5% of a company’s shares,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The disclosure functions as an early sign to shareholders and companies that a significant investor could seek to control or influence a company.” The report said that Musk’s April 4 disclosure filing was at least 10 days late, a move that is believed to have...

    Dinesh D'Souza just exposed the treachery of the corporate media "conservatives" ============================================================= Fox News has been on a collision course with its own audience since the stolen 2020 election — and you can almost feel the impact coming. The network has made so many dumb bets lately that it’s like watching a busload of trailer park residents get offloaded to play the nickel slots in Reno. All you can do is shake your head as you think: I know they’re all going bankrupt, and they’re already bankrupt. It’s been perfectly obvious for years now that Rupert Murdoch and his feckless...
