The future of artificial intelligence.
It is Past Time for Computer Science and Biology to Part Ways
I have spent and continue to spend a good bit of my writing career pleading with people about the logical impossibility of “machine learning” and the dubiousness of this thing called artificial “intelligence.” It has been a lonely task acting as what feels like the lone naysayer in a huge crowd of cheerleaders. Luckily, I don’t concern myself with being popular, only being right and I am still convinced I am (mostly) on target with my criticisms. Even if I am wrong it still behooves the proponents of these things to prove me so, and they have yet do so. A machine has still not learned anything and AI researchers keep saying we are only week/months/years away from true human or animal level artificial “intelligence” each time a new computer beats a human in some game. The more “complicated” for us the game the “smarter” the computer according to them. Apologies to Wittgenstein for a vast oversimplification here but what they fail to communicate is that what makes something a game is that it has rules. A game is in fact nothing more than a series of rules. Another thing that is a series of rules is an algorithm. An algorithm is identical to a game in this respect and just like an algorithm a game (with the right rules — inputs) can have totally predictable outputs (yes, even games of chance or with random/probabilistic elements if they are played over a big enough data set/number of moves). There is at least one (probable) major exception related to the physical parts of athletic contests, but that is irrelevant to the argument (though it is another argument against the possibility of non-embodied AI I do not intend to dive into here). All games with rules are at base computational equations with specific data inputs and outputs. They are fully computable and thus it is not surprising that computers can and will continue to excel at them. This does not make them smart, nor does it make them ‘intelligent’, it just makes them excellent computers. The computers that beat the best humans at Jeopardy and Go are the most excellent computers ever built and programmed at playing those specific games. Huzzah!, we have finally built computers that excel at computing. What we have not built is an artificial ‘intelligence’ nor has a machine ‘learned’ anything.

The Great War
The Great War by: Dennis R. Humphreys There was a great war. It was a miracle anyone survived. It wasn't the normal war you read about in texts or you see in the movies. It wasn't one country against another or a dispute between nations about ideologies...one thinking theirs was the correct one, attempting to force theirs on another who believed theirs was the correct ideology. No, these were corporate wars, designed by billion-and- trillion-dollar companies so their power and holdings grew even larger than they were. Control was the key factor.

A Thinking Machine
A Thinking Machine or otherwise known as Artificial Intelligence. Has been a long founding idea that was developed around 1955. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is an academic field of study which studies the goal of creating intelligence, whether in emulating human-like intelligence or not. Major AI researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents", where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. Such as an Algorithm with inputs and outputs.

Is Humanity on the Verge of Extinction at the Hands of Artificial Intelligence? Yuval Noah Harari Thinks So.
Since I read “Sapiens” by Yuval Noah Harari, I’ve been a fan of his work. I was captivated by that book, and it has become one of my favorite reads. I encourage everyone to read it.- I’ll write a book review about it later.

Artificial Intelligence In Mobile Apps: The Next Wave Of Enterprise Mobility
Mobile applications and user experience have developed significantly throughout the last decade. Toward the start, we had basic applications that did very little. In any case, everything has changed somewhat recently because of the Smartphone unrest.

Artificial Intelligence Uses Cases for the Fashion Industry
Fashion connotations have transformed; more starting with the 21st-century Conventional to modern, to modern-conventional, followed by a symbiosis of modern-tech - trends have changed, and the facades of fashion galleries seem evolved; with techno AI in fashion design logy gliding into the fashion sector, the industry has turned futuristic.

Forgive Me
How do you heal yourself when someone leaves you with a broken heart? In my journey of life, I have met many people. Some become an important part of our lives. We become so attached to them that we cannot imagine our lives without them, but not everyone feels or thinks the same about
