[What Happens If AI Grows Smarter Than Humans] The answer worries scientists. In 1993, computer scientist and sci-fi author Vernor Vinge predicted that within three decades, we would have the technology to create a form of intelligence that surpasses our own. “Shortly after, the human era will be ended,” Vinge said. As it happens, 30 years later, the idea of an artificially created entity that can surpass—or at least match—human capabilities is no longer the domain of speculators and authors. Ranks of AI researchers and tech investors are seeking what they call artificial general intelligence (AGI): an entity capable of human-level performance at all kinds of intellectual tasks. If humans produce a successful AGI, some researchers now believe, “the end of the human era” will no longer be a vague, distant possibility. Link |

[Friday Joke] Because our new refrigerator was taller than our old one, I told my wife I’d have to cut away part of an overhanging cabinet to make it fit. Not wanting to mess it up, I called a local radio home-fix-it program for advice. I was in the middle of getting the instructions when my wife burst into the room. “You won’t believe this!” she said, “But there’s a guy on the radio with the same problem!” |
![]() This once quiet neighborhood canal which once had a private and little used ramp has in recent years been usurped by the County. Now that the owners of the property, what was once Dolphin Marina, have closed access to their ramp The SR4A ramp has become the busiest ramp in the Lower Keys. I can assure you that no one on the canal has a problem with visitors using the ramp and canal. The problem starts with visitors who ignore both the no wake rules and the 5 mile per hour speed limit. Add in boaters who ignore the County noise ordnance regarding allowable volume on with their music, it is getting quite uncomfortable to exist on your own property. Daily damage is being done to property along the canal system. Even minor wakes erode the shoreline and damage vessels tied to docks. Some wear is unavoidable but the law is in place to minimize the damage. These rules exist not only in the canals but also in open water within 100 yards of any developed shoreline weather marked or not. The recent enforcement of the no wake rules and also enforcement of no parking on the bike path rules alongside of streets adjacent to the ramp are overdue. We welcome you into the neighborhood, but please be courteous and follow the laws. |

[Politics] Dear Ed. For your consideration. How about a little experiment? Post my original submission, and your reply, to see what your readers think? I’m pretty sure they will agree with you, but only because of their political persuasion. Either way, I think you will agree, it would be interesting. |

[Privacy] How many of you have figured this out? I did years ago when I got computer-smart and learned how to find people. All any marketer has to do is have your name, or address and any other data, then punch it into their computer’s Google Earth link to see exactly where you live. Then they can tell what to send you advertising wise, propaganda wise and BS wise. They can find out all your tax records and banking too. Got a cell phone? Ha, that is an open doorway to their keyboard. There’s no place to hide anymore. Sleep tight. |
