Is transhumanism the ultimate goal of AI?

February 27, 2024 For humans, the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence (AI) will be transhumanism. That is, leveraging AI to develop sufficient scientific knowledge that can help humans escape the prison of organic chemistry and the enslaving shackles of evolutionary biology. AI should help humans replace blind biology with smart technology.  Life is a complex mix of organic compounds seeking stability. Life on Earth is extremely complex, cumbersome, and painful. Life is a system of organic compounds seeking electromagnetic stability. Life on Earth is based on organic (carbon-based) physical and electromagnetic interactions of four elements: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. These four elements make up more than 99% of the atoms in the human body. By mass, about 97 percent of human bodies are made of those four elements at these ratios: 65% oxygen, 18.5% carbon, 9.5% hydrogen, and 3.5% nitrogen. The remaining 3% is composed of calcium (1.9%), phosphorus (0.6%), sulfur (0.3%),

Is there an AI bubble? If so, when will it burst? What will happen next?

February 25, 2024 Yes, there seems to be an AI investing bubble in Wall Street. It will most likely keep expanding further more before it bursts. After it bursts, many will lose significant amounts of money, but the AI industry will come out stronger than ever. In the near future and all through the 21st century, AI will become an integral part of human societies and will gradually shape a new type of humanity. In centuries or millennia to come, AI will help humans transcend biology into a transhumanism based on technology.  The AI bubble  These five U.S. technology companies alone Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Alphabet, NVIDIA (MAMAN) are collectively valued at almost $11T. That's $11,000,000,000,000! A year ago, their collective valuation was about $6T. Their market capitalizations have gone up by about $5T within the last 12 months. They have gained about 80% in value practically "overnight" since the mass debut of transformer generative AI models like ChatGPT and Google Bar

Will AI replace priests and religious leaders too?

February, 23, 2024 Yes, AI may replace human priests, pastors, and religious leaders. These are the knowledge workers of the religious industry. AI will begin helping and advising religious leaders, and AI may ultimately mature enough to become religious leaders in the future.  With the AI bubble well on its way, it seems that our predictions about AI becoming the next dot.com bubble are well on track to becoming reality within the next 5 years. So far we have not missed our prediction regarding NVIDIA's stock price. It has continued going up and up. The current valuation is irrational. Sooner or later the NVIDIA stock bubble will burst.  New AI Religions  If AI were to produce new religions for humanity, what would they look like? They would most likely resemble a hodgepodge of existing human religions. Creativity is all about mixing up and reshaping what already exists. Nothing can be created from nothing. Everything is created from something. Creating new religions would not be

Can AI predict who will be the next president of the United States?

February 19, 2024 Not yet. Not today. Artificial intelligence (AI) cannot accurately predict yet who will be the next president of the United States because the elections are still more than 8 months away and there are too many variables involved.  AI is computerized human-like intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to acquire knowledge and skills to solve problems. Problems can be solved by identifying the causal patterns and correlations of cause and effect. Once causality is established, predictions can be made, and outcomes can be altered by altering the causal variables and processes involved.  What motivates human voters to vote, and how humans choose for whom to vote? Humans can be seen as organic computers processing data input into information output. While humans are complex and advanced animals, at the aggregate level, human decision-making processing is binary: avoid pain and seek pleasure. Everything humans do can be explained by the binary pain / pleasure programming i

Is AI the biggest thing since the Big Bang?

February 15, 2024 Organic life on planet Earth is a complex system of organic compounds seeking electromagnetic stability. Living organisms developed intelligence, which is the ability to acquire knowledge and skills to address environmental situations and solve problems. Homo sapiens (modern humans) developed sufficient intelligence develop many clever technologies (tools and methods). These technologies allowed humans to accumulate knowledge and skills, increasing the collective intelligence of the species. Humans were able to create artificial (i.e. human-made) intelligence. This artificial intelligence (AI) will help humans continue increasing and expanding the collective intelligence of humanity.  This article takes a quick look at how humans got to this point, and where is AI taking them next.  As far as humans can observe, this universe is a stage for a "tug of war" between different forces acting on energy. Some forces pull energy in one direction. Other forces push e

Is it still a good time to learn more about AI machine learning? Is it too late?

February 11, 2024 Absolutely, this is the best time in history to learn about computer programming, especially artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning programming. No human is late to this party. The AI Era is just getting started.  Many humans fancy the idea of being able to travel back in time to make the correct investments knowing how well they will work in the future. For example, going back 20 years to buy Apple's stock at 42 cents a share, knowing that today it will be at about $189 a share. Every $1 invested in Apple 20 years ago would be $450 today. $1K invested then would be $450k today; $1M then would be worth $450M today; $2.22M then would be worth $1B.  Other humans fancy even more world domination by going back in time to the beginning of the information era, to the beginning of the industrial revolution, or even the beginning of the agricultural era. Well, time travel is probably impossible. In any event, humans today are at the beginning of a new era, the AI E
