AI - not Ahoyart 1

Warning - Singularity Zone

Artificial Intelligence is making great strides. Hobbyists are writing code to recognize faces and other objects. Quantum computers are now open-source for anyone to write a program. Researchers working with Deep Data are combining all these resources to step up the game of life where the machines around you are capable of competing not only for your jobs, but out performing humans at any task that's information based. Access to all the published data, government collected data, sensor collected data, data out of your home via Alexa, Nest, and SmartTV is an intellectual invasion.

You may question if these devices in your home are listening. How do you think they respond to the word "Alexa" out of a cacophony of verbal chatter? Then it understands your sentences. This data is analyzed on the spot in a AI algorithm to react to your request. The debate is whether these conversations are ever recorded for humans to scrutinize. It's clearly possible. Unsolicited ads are sent to people from casual conversation in front of these devices. What do you think about this?

The courts are curious about the possibility of Alexa witnessing a murder whether the police could subpena those recordings or if recordings should be keep in case they are needed for evidence. It opens up Pandora's box of personal privacy becoming public knowledge.

5G, quantum computing, AI and IOT are coming together with the already trained AI systems in use to bedazzle the average citizen. Packaged in a cyborg and you have reached the Singularity - bots better than blokes.

Are Raspberry-Pi's displacing Teddy Bears? Kids can manipulate SmartPhones and iPads like surgeons removing a spleen. The kid-knowledge of iOS, Android apps, and designing video games in the Cloud are very common. It's fun to see but a little disconcerting.

My grandsons have built their own computers, 3D printers, and remote control cars, etc. like I would have whittled a stick or put together a plastic model of an airplane when I was young - no comparison to the skill level difference.

The catch phrase is "OK, Boomer" to express the frustration of the young being lectured by baby-boomers how things were, when those things don't exist anymore or are totally irrelevant. The future is being polished to a brighter shine.

As technology stomps through your tulips, one has to forget darling thoughts of the past and get onboard with the EV powered future or be tossed into the bins of days gone by. Youngsters don't have the attention span to be patient. They are busy snapping the future together and applying power. Boomers don't have the bandwidth to get it.
