Google unleashes AI in search, raising hopes for better results and fears about less web traffic, a shift promising to quicken the quest for information while also potentially disrupting the flow of money-making internet traffic.

If Donald Trump wins a second term in the White House in November, NATO may fall apart, a recent wargame found. As a presidential candidate, Trump has threatened to quit NATO unless European allies contribute more, and should he carry it out Europe may decide to go it alone on defense, the game suggests. "A US policy of frustrating NATO has the potential to cause the alliance to collapse, with the EU as a candidate for eventually replacing NATO's ultimate function — defending Europe from Russia," wrote Finley Grimble, the British defense expert who designed and ran the game. The...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly ubiquitous and is improving at an unprecedented pace...But there are risks in embracing any new technology, especially one that we do not fully understand. While AI could be a powerful personal assistant, for example, it could also represent a threat to our livelihoods and even our lives.The various existential risks that an advanced AI poses means the technology should be guided by ethical frameworks and humanity's best interests, says researcher and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) member Nell Watson.In "Taming the Machine" (Kogan Page, 2024), Watson explores how humanity can wield the...

Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba. “Hey Google, how many Jews were killed by the Nazis?” Instagram user Michael Apfel asks a Google Nest virtual assistant. The video was later posted to X by venture capitalist Josh Wolfe on May 8. “Sorry, I don’t understand,” The same token answer was offered to other related questions including “How many Jews were killed during World War II? Who did Adolf Hitler try to kill?...

Matt McMullen talks about his company Realbotix. Founded in 2014, the company has been hammering away at the concept of intelligent, interactive robots long before today’s growing popularity of the idea. And they’re riding that wave as the technology continues to grow. See video here.

“But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness…” -2 Peter 2:16 It is interesting to see what the people really believe in when the mainstream media and their useful idiots, who they say that they do not believe, promulgate their propaganda narrative (Romans 1:18). This applies especially to those who follow in the steps of Jesus by holding to His cross and His unadulterated Word (Matthew 5:10).

Apple on Tuesday introduced a new chip called the M4 that it said would outclass personal computers designed for artificial intelligence - but put the new chip in an iPad Pro model rather than a laptop. -- "The neural engine makes M4 an outrageously powerful chip for AI," Tim Millet, vice president of platform architecture at Apple, said during the presentation. "In fact, with this level of performance, the neural engine and M4 is more powerful than any neural processing unit in any AI PC today."

Observing consciousness as physical allows insights not available to most. Ever since my NDE over 35 years ago, I've been observing and learning how consciousness flows in the human soul, and how it changes as it grows toward the Higher Consciousness many call God. Human consciousness, and the stored memories in people's souls became physical to me after the NDE. My comments below are a result of direct observation and experience, some involving exorcisms dealing directly with evil over the past 35+ years. I've been following the research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) since it began, beginning in the 1970's when...

A couple weeks ago, reviews for a new wearable AI device started hitting the market. While the device reviews aren’t great, they do give us a hint at the future of wearable technology. If used right in the future, the technology could be used to make people, armed or unarmed, a lot safer from criminal attackers. But, before we get to my ideas on the potential for this technology, let’s first share one of these reviews and discuss what the technology is supposed to do: https://youtu.be/TitZV6k8zfA What It’s Supposed To Be, But Falls Short Of In short, the Humane AI...

Bobby Bones, often regarded one of country music most formidable songwriting forces, released "INLAWS" immediately after his previous hit single "OUTLAWS" dominated the charts for 32 months. Not only was he a brilliant mandolin player, but he was generally a soft spoken friendly and humble man. He also originated the trend of country and folk singers covering their faces in badly done tattoos. Truly one of Nashville's most prized treasures, Bones left an impression on everyone he met. People all across the lands shared wild stories of Bobby and his gang's shenanigans as they toured the southern states.

(NEXSTAR) – Country artist Randy Travis released a new song Friday — nearly 11 years after a stroke left him largely unable to speak or sing. Travis had teased the release of “Where That Came From” earlier this week, previewing a snippet of the song along with a video featuring footage from what appeared to be the recording process. In it, Travis could be seen observing the studio musicians, though not actively singing. “Eleven years ago I never thought I would be able to have a hand in music production of any kind,” Travis wrote in a Facebook post a...

Remember James Clapper and John Brennan? It's easy to forget given how much has transpired since both men consistently led the news throughout the Trump administration. At one time, though, their involvement in Crossfire Hurricane, otherwise known as the Russia collusion investigation was really big news. For those less initiated, here's a quick refresher. Clapper was Barack Obama's DNI and has been credibly accused of lying to Congress. Meanwhile, Brennan is Obama's former CIA Director and has been credibly accused of doing the same. Both men lived on cable news after Trump's inauguration, making all kinds of wild, unsubstantiated claims...

I use various AI platforms and like to probe them to see if they are able to respond to tough questions and particularly to see if and where they might have biases that overrun their "logic." Here are some questions that might be of interest to you.BTW, in this case I used Poe.com as my point of entry and then used Claude Sonnet. I am a Claude.AI monthly subscriber. Me:Why do communist countries become dictatorships and fail?Claude Sonnet: There are several key reasons why communist countries have historically tended towards dictatorships and failed economically: Concentration of power In communist systems,...

HONG KONG, May 2 (Reuters) - A senior U.S. official on Thursday urged China and Russia to match declarations by the United States and others that only humans, and never artificial intelligence, would make decisions on deploying nuclear weapons. State Department arms control official Paul Dean told an online briefing that Washington had made a "clear and strong commitment" that humans had total control over nuclear weapons, adding that France and Britain had done the same. "We would welcome a similar statement by China and the Russian Federation," said Dean, principal deputy assistant secretary in the Bureau of Arms Control,...

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Wednesday that the FBI was in possession of his phone after he received a message from someone impersonating Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "I get a message, I think, from Schumer," Graham, R-S.C., said during a panel discussion about artificial intelligence regulations at The Hill and Valley Forum. "It ain't from Schumer." "And the next thing you know, my phone is — " he trailed off. "I don't know. Anything you can create apparently can be hacked."

The recording went viral in January, provoking rage in suburban Baltimore. It seemed that Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert had been caught making racist and antisemitic comments. Angry phone calls overwhelmed the front desk. Employees felt afraid. Security was tightened. Eiswert was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. He received various threats of violence. A police report said one person told him the “world would be a better place if you were on the other side of the dirt.” All along, Eiswert denied making the offensive remarks. He said that wasn’t his voice on the recording. He believed...

The U.S.-based, Google-funded artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic is suggesting that its AI-powered large language model (LLM) Claude 3 Opus has shown evidence of sentience. If conclusively proven, Claude 3 Opus would be the first sentient AI being in human history. However, experts in the field remain relatively unconvinced by Anthropic’s insinuation.Claude 3 Opus has impressed many AI experts, especially the LLM‘s ability to solve complex problems almost instantly. However, claims of sentience began to circulate after Anthropic’s prompt engineer Alex Albert showcased an incident where Claude 3 Opus seemingly determined that it was being “tested.” “When we ran this...

The idea triggered a full-scale revolt on the Google campus. Six years ago, the Silicon Valley giant signed a small, $9 million contract to put the skills of a few of its most innovative developers to the task of building an artificial intelligence tool that would help the military detect potential targets on the battlefield using drone footage. Engineers and other Google employees argued that the company should have nothing to do with Project Maven, even if it was designed to help the military discern between civilians and militants. The uproar forced the company to back out, but Project Maven...
