The future of artificial intelligence.
Virtual/Augmented Reality (VAR) and the Simulation Hypothesis
A day does not go by that another article is not published purporting to explain why virtual/augmented reality (VAR) systems/software/applications have failed to spark much interest in the general population. Adoption rates have been way slower than many had predicted and widespread adoption seems decades away if it is ever going to happen. Many theories have been suggested and while they each have some element of truth to them they all fail to provide a completely satisfactory account of the issue. I have been puzzling over this problem in my head myself for months now. Given the bulk of the populations seemingly endless fascination with all things tech and the media’s incessant hyping of VAR as the next big thing you would think VAR systems would have exploded in popularity by now. We should already be in the price war phase with knock off brands flooding the market and VR gaming addicts passing out in neighborhood VR arcades from two week binges of non stop VR MMRPG gaming sessions. Meanwhile AR should be an option in all new cars sold and a standard feature on new smart phones. To date, none of that has come to pass.

Morality in the age of AI
How does it feel to be an artist now watching the evolution of technology? The evolution of society itself? New developments in AI technology allow us to look at cultural history in a very different way. We need to look at the impact of technology on the individual. We are talking about a new historical period, the emergence of digital personas that pave the way for a new morality.

7 Top Power Automate Benefits
Power Automate, some time ago known as Microsoft Flow, computerizes business processes between web applications by helping representatives to screen explicit assignments or accomplish foreordained work at specific occasions are some power mechanize benefits. For example, a representative could be advised by the instrument once his PC is associated with the web (set off by an occasion), and afterward he can react with his login accreditations for Office 365 distributed storage (utilizing data from Dynamics 365). Subsequently, records could likewise be robotized for sharing.

How Not to Compare AI With the Human Brain
It is self learning It is a computer, a machine. There is no “self” for it to learn with. It cannot learn because it is a machine. The term machine learning is composed of two words that when combined in that order result in a logical contradiction. It is a logical contradiction to say that a machine can learn because the definitions of each term preclude that possibility. If a machine could learn it would no longer be a machine. Moreover, there are many competing theories as to how the human brain/humans and some non human animals learn all of which have some valid claim to “correctness”. Therefore even if it had a “self” (which it most definitely does not) we could not say that it is self-learning since we do not even know how humans and non human animals learn.

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.
