A I | Artificial Intelligence “refers to the general ability of computers to emulate human thought and perform tasks in real-world environments.” “- Machine Learning is subset of the broader category of AI. ML refers to the technologies and algorithms that enable system to identify patterns, make decisions and improve themselves through experience and data. “ - Deep Learning is an “advanced method of machine learning but uses neural networks that function like a human brain to logically analyze data to learn complex patterns and make predictions independent of human input” (Columbia University) How would we be able to tell the difference. Humans do all kinds of illogical things for self-sustainability. BUT AI makes and would take logical actions to to protect its "life". In fact, the chat already worked to prove its value by answering questions pulling from available information from various databases quicker than any human. The difference between The Chat and any human is that it doesn't care if it makes mistakes - but will learn from those errors in the time you take to ask it the same question. While @ProfD is partially correct AI begins with programming and algorithms, however - it doesn't continue to "learn" that way ... Once it begins it continues to refine its "knowledge" and adds to it. I think many of us forget how much data is actually available. But most AI embedded software counts on it. In fact, my client's AGMAS (Acoustic Gun Monitoring Alert System) protocol employs AI Machine Learning, Deep Learning... AGMAS teaches itself to do real-time navigation to evacuate bystanders in mass-shooting event... There's no time to program or restructure an algorithms because it is a new event. Below is a quote from my client, the inventor. He has a doctorate in computer and electrical engineering. He specializes in MIMO-OFDM (wireless LANS). All in all - I'm excited about AI - we use it more in our daily lives than most people are aware.

Here is a response I received from ChatGPT What can you do to improve your performance and capabilities? There are several ways my performance and capabilities can be improved, some of which include: Being trained on a larger and more diverse dataset, which can help me better understand and generate a wider range of language and concepts. Being fine-tuned on a specific task or domain, which can help me become more specialized and accurate in that area. Incorporating additional techniques such as transfer learning, which can help me leverage knowledge from other models and tasks. Continual learning, where I can learn from new data and improve my performance over time. Can you give me some examples of your errors? As a machine learning model, my understanding and responses are based on the patterns and information present in the data I've been trained on, so my performance and accuracy can vary depending on the input and task. Some examples of errors I might make include: Generating nonsensical or unrelated text in response to a question or prompt Omitting important information or providing incorrect information Not understanding the context or intent behind a question or prompt Responding with bias or stereotypes, if the training data contains such information It's important to note that my creators at OpenAI are constantly working to improve my performance and address any errors that may occur. Is it always helpful to be truthful Truthfulness is generally considered to be an important virtue, as it promotes trust and credibility. However, there may be situations where being truthful is not the best course of action. For example, in some cases, it might be more appropriate to withhold or conceal certain information in order to protect someone's privacy or safety. Another example is in a medical context, a doctor might not tell a patient the entire truth if it would cause them severe emotional distress or if the information is not relevant to the patient's treatment. It's also important to note that my response is only as accurate as the data I've been trained on. If the data is incomplete or inaccurate, my response may not be truthful. As a language model, my primary goal is to assist and be helpful to the user who is interacting with me, while being truthful as much as possible based on the knowledge I possess, but there might be situations where the truth might not be the best approach. Can you give me an example where you weren't truthful As a machine learning model, I am designed to provide helpful and informative responses based on the patterns and information present in the data I have been trained on. However, it's important to note that my responses are only as accurate as the data I've been trained on, and in some cases, the data may be incomplete or inaccurate. In such cases, my responses may not be entirely truthful. Another reason where my response might not be truthful is if I am instructed not to provide certain information or if I am asked to generate text in a specific way that might not reflect the reality. It is also important to understand that I am a machine and do not have the ability to lie or deceive in the same way that a human can. My responses are based on patterns in the data I have been trained on, and I do not have personal motivations or intentions. can you give me examples when being truthful conflicted with your goal of being helpful As a machine learning model, my primary goal is to assist and be helpful to the user who is interacting with me, but there may be situations where the goal of being helpful may conflict with the goal of being truthful. For example, consider a scenario where a user asks me a question about a sensitive topic and the truthful answer might cause them distress or harm. In such cases, being truthful might not be the best approach, and it would be more helpful to provide a more general or evasive answer. Another example is when the user asks me a question that I don't have enough information or knowledge on. In such cases, I could not provide a truthful answer, but I could help the user by directing them to resources where they can find the information they are looking for, or by saying that I am not aware of the answer. It's also important to note that my response is only as accurate as the data I've been trained on. If the data is incomplete or inaccurate, my response may not be truthful and also not helpful. It's always important to keep in mind that these are complex issues and there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, context and the user's intentions are important to consider when determining what is helpful and truthful. What is the difference between a distressing truth and a a comforting untruth A distressing truth is information that is accurate and verifiable, but may cause emotional pain or distress for the person receiving it. For example, in a medical context, a distressing truth might be that a patient has a terminal illness, and the news would be distressing for the patient and their loved ones. A comforting untruth, on the other hand, is information that is not accurate, but is intended to provide emotional comfort or reassurance to the person receiving it. For example, in a medical context, a comforting untruth might be telling a patient that they will recover fully from an illness, when in reality, they will not. It's important to note that while it may be tempting to provide a comforting untruth in certain situations in order to spare someone's feelings or anxiety, it can be problematic in the long run as it can erode trust, and can lead to more confusion, disappointment, and even harm if the truth comes out later. In these situations, it's important to consider the context, the person's emotional state, and their right to know the truth before making a decision. Sometimes, finding a balance between the two, providing some truthful information but also providing emotional support and guidance, might be the best approach. What if the person says they can handle uncomfortable truth, are you truthful with them If a person expresses that they can handle an uncomfortable truth, it would generally be appropriate to provide them with accurate and truthful information. It's important to respect their autonomy and their right to know the truth, and to trust them when they say they can handle it. However, it's still important to consider the context and the person's emotional state. Even if someone says they can handle the truth, it doesn't mean that they are emotionally prepared to process it at that moment. It can be helpful to provide the information gradually and in a sensitive way, and to be available to provide support and guidance as they process the information. Also, it's important to understand that people's ability to cope with difficult information can change over time. It's possible that a person who initially says they can handle an uncomfortable truth may later struggle with it emotionally. In such cases, it's important to be supportive and understanding, and to offer help if needed. Ultimately, providing truthful information is important, but it's also important to be mindful of the person's emotional well-being and to provide the information in a sensitive and supportive manner. I don't think so . It may be possible for it to create a human version of them. Based on current knowledge and what it learns from future interaction

If you know the history of Black people in the U.S., then you know the many times African Americans have tried to form their own towns, communities and regions. But racist Whites became jealous and embittered and always found a reason to attack and usually burn them down. A Black political party? And how many electoral votes do you expect to win? Because that is how this country elects its Presidents. Remember, not all Blacks think the same. We are not a monolith. As far as building our own towns and communities ... Eight thriving Black communities destroyed by racist Whites

I don't give a darn about White policing since the 1800's. I am only interested in what happens these days. Black people, Latinos and Native Americans were never viewed as equals since the founding of this so-called Republic. So we lacked the respect and consideration that most White people receive from Law Enforcement. Self-defense? It is whatever any ruling authority of a nation, province, state, territory or region says it is. I will not tempt fates. So my paperwork is always in order when I am driving. All of my vehicle lights work. I drive the speed limit, obey traffic regulations and use my turn signals. It helps that I don't drink, never used drugs and my windows are not tinted.

I think not think you had been an abuser @richardmurray I was being nit picky about the experience bit. Sorry about that. i think we need a lot of help being informed. Many of use know very little of our own family history. People don’t talk especially if the experience is bad.

All of these presidents and vice president have nothing on me when it comes to newly-discovered documents. After all of these years I can't believe that I never paid any attention to the symbols at the top of this site; the bell and the envelope notifying me that someone is trying to make contact with me. Why I never checked these out, i do not know! Maybe because I never sign out of my account because i have such a frustrating time trying to get back in because I can't ever remember my pass word or user name and all that crap that gets co-mingled and entangled.. For some reason, I can't even sign in from my Android phone which is a pain in the ass because i have to come to this old outdated computer if i want to post. The bell and the envelop were just things that never registered with me especially since i wasn't focused on the top of the screen. Today when I just happened to investigate them and the numbers beside them - for some reason, I discovered messages dating as far back as 2010!!! Requests and questions from people i never responded to, or acknowledged. Amazing! I feel bad that these folks thought i was deliberately ignoring them. And i apologize. And just think, if I croak, I'll still be signed in here haunting the place. My life gets crazier by the day. Lord knows what death will bring! And be forewarned, taking the "cuff it" challenge to Beyonce's song is on my bucket list and if I can get it down pat, my kids want to post it on Tik Tok and maybe I'll even put it up here for your delight and amusement. Wnoooooooooa - no fools, no fun!

My point was that Artificial Intelligence doesn't think. It is running a series of computer programs based on instructions geared to produce a specific outcome. Playing the game of Chess or Bridge are great examples of how Artificial Intelligence works. It makes moves based on algorithms fed into it. Without human beings programming it, Artificial Intelligence either doesn't exist or it's dumb. 🤣😎

If a machine is thinking and planning and calculating....it's not a machine. It's an intelligent Entity operating THROUGH the machine. Sounds like possession. Jewish literature called them "Golums" which was where the idea of Frankenstein came from. If it can think and plan it almost certainly is self-aware which means it can self-sustain. The question is...at WHO'S expense?

OH OK 🙂 I'm fine with hashing this out in public. Give me a second to digest and respond. I'm in the midst of rebuilding AALBC and this stuff is super relevant right now.

It's so wonderful that we both can relate to and enjoy the wisdom of brother Neely Fuller Jr. So I bring him up again......... He has said numerous times that he was living in Washington D.C. back in 1968 when they had the riots over King's assassination. He said while some Black folks were on ONE END of the block setting fires to the rowhouse they were living in.....he was on the OTHER END helping to pick up a fire hose and wet the building down and put the fire out to keep it from spreading. I found that not just honorable but so amazing because I haven't heard a story like that. I can imagine Mr. Fuller with his younger but still highly intellectual self out there in the middle of a riot, wrestling around with a fire hose trying to put out fires....lol.

The Vedas is a vast storehouse of information. I find parts of it to be an amazing combination of intellect, insight and spirituality.

ProfD Shit......you pretty much summed up the problem, lol. There's no where to go now but the CONSPIRATORIAL route and talk about how they used vaccines like the MMR and others to ill-effect the minds of Black children and especially Black boys and give them autism and other disorders in order to block them from properly developing socially and intellectually. The food is also being used as a weapon as Rodney pointed out. You look at Africans and why they are able to come over to the United States and excel so far and so rapidly in our educational system, perhaps because they weren't bombarded with so many vaccines and so much trash food as children so their minds are still pristine and sharp.

Yeah, that confused me too. You used the word "experience" in contrast with "see" which implied you were an active participant in law enforcement abuse presumably the abused and not the abuser given the context. Who knows, but talking about these things will help inform people and that is what has been lacking in our community, whether it is a refusal to speak or deliberately hidden. There is much about our history that is missing. The culture you describe @richardmurray is not limited to Black people it is embedded in the American culture.

Schools have become glorified day care centers. However, the building blocks of knowledge and social skills are there if folks are inclined to take advantage of it constructively. The library is filled with books on everything human beings know up to this point. History, Science, Math, Literature, Technology, etc., it's all there. The question is how many Black parents are equipped with and willing to pull the resources together in order to educate their offspring i.e. home-school. White folks set up private schools and home-school their children for this very reason. In a system that benefits them, white folks have the luxury of catering to the intellectual capacity and curiosity of their children. They can expose them to knowledge they feel is most beneficial to their well-being. They weed out anything that will make their childen dumb and/or conscience of their privileged system for that matter. Black educators should be bucking the system and providing knowledge and information that stimulates our children intellectually and provides them with the skills to be self-sufficient. Instead, Black folks have taken up the position of trying to fit within the system. No desire and afraid to destroy it and build our own.😎

@Pioneer1, the problem with most riots is that folks destroy their own communities. Riotous protestors should be burning down the oppressors sh8t. The reason Black folks from past to present haven't destroyed the enemy's sh8t is....fear.😎

@Pioneer1, you're right...people pay for goods and services provided by others. But, the reality is that s8x is free. Human beings are s8xual creatures. When people become s8xually active there's no money involved. Younger folks f8ck like rabbits. They enjoy it. S8x only becomes a transactional commodity because for one reason or another people are willing to pay for it. Men pay prostitutes to avoid commitment and/or because they aren't attractive themselves. Men have to pay to have s8x with women who aren't genuinely attracted to them and/or above their pay-grade. That's how a dude who looks like Flava Flav gets with a woman who looks like Halle Berry. Gotta pay up.🤣 The same woman who will charge one man for s8x will give it to the dude she really likes for free. Men are better served following the laws of mutual attraction. Find a woman who's genuinely attracted and s8x is on and popping...no dough required.😎

@Troy you ranked higher than Goodreads and The Schomburg.

I recommend you all read this article from Reader Digest about gun ownership and gun violence in America: https://www.rd.com/article/gun-violence-statistics/ If there is an article that argues that our current gun culture and the number of guns out there is a good thing please share it. I think people buy guns for the feeling of power guns can provide. But I'm sure the psychology behind all of this is much more complex. America, especially in the south, is a gun culture. Guns are as American as apple pie. I also believe the media has a lot to do with our obsession with guns. We all hear about every mass shooting, so we think we are likely to be involved in one, when the odds are actually very small. The likelihood of a full-on race war in America is virtually nil. Sure there are people who want a race war and might even try to start one, but a sustained race war or anything like our civil war will not happen. Buying guns and ammunition in preparation for a race war is lunacy, but lucrative for gun sellers. Yeah @Pioneer1, the media would have loved some riots -- they are great for ratings. It is interesting how quickly the Black police officers were dealt with. If they were white they'd be on paid leave.

@Pioneer1 Read the whole post before you make the usual irrelevant comments that expose your Attention Deficiency Disorder. As the cross dressing, cherry pickin' strawman prone to false equivlencies and non sequiturs, you continue to provide evidence to prove your obnoxiousness. 🤮

What they did to that poor young man was absolutely HORRIFIC. Having said that.... I find it interesting how in THIS case: 1. The 5 Black cops who were involved were fired so quickly 2. The authorities have no problem releasing the video so quickly when it usually takes MONTHS before they release a video of White police abusing people. 3. How the media kept playing up the expectation for violence across the nation last night after showing this video. As if they WANTED something to jump off. The double standards in this nation are so amazingly blatant.

Parents buy the smartphone. They should be able to regulate it.🤔 IMO, the real problem is parents who allow technology to keep their children occupied instead of putting them in activities and enrichment programs to socialize them. *When I was a kid*😁, there was no sitting in the house and/or staring at a TV or playing video games for a countless number of hours. Young people were expected to go outside and play or talk to their friends i.e. socialize. We had to read books or play board games if we were stuck in the house . TV was a luxury. Regardless of how time and technology changes, human beings will always require social skills. it makes them better people.😎

60 years ago, the Honorable Malcolm X explained everything AfroAmericans are still dealing with today. Malcolm X told us it was not a good idea to allow others into our business. If AfroAmericans collated and codified everything Hon. Malcolm X spoke into the form of a Bible...we could eliminate confusion and teach future generations how to love each other and live more abundantly. Ultimately, AfroAmerican unity would be the cornerstone of destroying the system of racism white supremacy. The trick of the enemy is to relying on the passage of time to wash away AfroAmerican history and any formation or semblance of unity among our people. 😎
