Can AI help entrepreneurs?

July 22, 2023 AI will help humans become better entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur is a living organism that undertakes a project or enterprise. Entrepreneurs can start new ventures (startups) or take over existing ones (mergers and acquisitions). Entrepreneurs can operate in new industries or in established ones. Projects and enterprises can be for profit commercial activities or  nonprofit organizations. While most entrepreneurs and their ventures fail over time, all entrepreneurs play a vital role in sustaining socioeconomic progress. The skills or resources vital for entrepreneurship can be summarized as: vision, innovation, technology, adaptability, and leadership (VITAL).      Vision : seeing opportunities        Innovation : diverse solutions       Technology: tools and methods       Adaptability : navigating changes       Leadership : helping others         ...

When will facebook incorporate generative AI?

July 12, 2023 Facebook will make a move on generative AI very soon. Artificial intelligence (AI), not the metaverse, is the wave that will propel Meta Platforms Inc. (Meta) back up to a trillion dollar valuation. Meta's current market capitalization is almost $793 billion. Meta has recovered super well from the catastrophic drop in value it experienced in 2022.  Meta's current market capitalization is almost $793 billion. We forecast a 20% increase in Meta's valuation within the next 12 months. The rise will be propelled by Meta's incorporation of generative AI into facebook, Instagram, and Threads.  Bookmark and share this article to see how the predictions above fare out.  Please note that this article is a mix of AI-generated content and biological intelligence (BI) conjectures, hunches, and guesses that AI cannot generate as of yet. We are working on it though. Please do your own research and due diligence, or consult a professional before going long on Meta or maki...

Inquisition against AI?

July 10, 2023 We do not need an inquisition movement against artificial intelligence (AI). There is nothing to be gained from deliberatively trying to slow down progress. Progress will find its way. With the passage of time, and generational replacement, those who try to stop progress generally fail, and are left behind. It is futile to  When debating whether trying to stop or slow down the progress of AI, is a smart AI e should learn from the Catholic Inquisition, and how wrong it proved to be. Trying to stop scientific progress to conserve social traditions and religious mythology.  The Inquisition The Inquisition refers to a series of ecclesiastical institutions and legal systems established by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period. The purpose of the Inquisition was to combat heresy and enforce religious orthodoxy, primarily within Catholic Christian territories. There were several different inquisitions established, but the most well-known is the ...

Do "whites" fear artificial intelligence (AI) more than nonwhites?

July 9, 2023 Humans fear pain. It is said that we fear the unknown. In reality, we fear unknown sources of pain. So-called "whites" and "nonwhites" are humans. Humans fear the potential pain that artificial intelligence (AI) may bring to their lives.  Due to cultural (i.e. social programming) reasons, so-called "whites" and "nonwhites" fear AI for different reasons. The reasons can be tied or correlated to notions of racism, "racial" relations, and the allocation of socioeconomic privileges. "Whites" fear the psychological pain of seeing AI become a "superior" race that could discriminate against whites. "Nonwhites" fear the pain of seeing AI perpetuate discrimination against them as an "inferior" race.  All humans are people of color. Before proceeding, a quick note about human skin color. All human skin has color. All humans are "people of color". The colors of human skin range from br...

Can AI become alive soon?

July 9, 2023 Computers powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can become alive within the next forty years. That does not necessarily mean that computers will be fully sentient and conscious. It means that computers could be programmed to self-execute the functions that characterize life on planet Earth. Fundamentally, life can be seen as a replicating information processing system (RIPS). Some may argue that the system must be self replicating (Self RIPS) to be considered alive.    The Hallmarks of Life There is no consensus on what life is, or how it originated on planet Earth. Creationist mythology aside, from a scientific or observational standpoint, living organisms exhibit organized metabolic information processing characteristics:     In formation : Life is characterized by the presence of genetic material (DNA or RNA), which encodes the information and instructions for the processes and functions that produce the results that we recognize as hallmarks of lif...

Can AI solve the human condition?

 July 8, 2023 Artificial intelligence (AI) is generated by computers that can process big amounts of data using neural algorithms meant to mimic and augment biological intelligence. The ultimate promise of AI is its ability to enlighten the human mind to help us break away from the shackles of biology. While we may always be constrained by the laws of physics, some day we may be able to free ourselves, at least partially, from the unplanned constraints of organic chemistry.  Warning. Reader discretion advised.  This article contains many heresies and super contrarian views. Reader discretion is advised. Biology is not fate, but simply information. Medicine makes a strategic mistake fixated in fixing natural organs rather than prioritizing replacing them with artificial ones. Nature, although not necessarily our enemy, is certainly not our friend. In trying to cope with the pain of the human condition, humans created myths that have slowed down and hampered the progress of...

Can AI liberate humans from the shackles of evolution?

July 6, 2023 Think about it. Future humans should be able to liberate themselves from the shackles of evolution. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the most promising tool to help us beat our only limitation, which is ignorance.  This article is a piece of heresy. Those who venerate evolution and nature should not read it. This article talks about sugar, fat, and oxygen metabolism as evolutionary hindrances that should be replaced instead of fixed.  Understandably, life requires energy for survival, maintenance, growth, and reproduction. Without energy, life cannot be sustained, cannot flourish, or do anything else. However, that does not mean that humans should be forever bound to depend on the energy sources and metabolic mechanisms randomly and blindly produced by evolution and natural selection.  AI is our best bet so far to keep fighting our only ignorance, which is our only limitation in this multiverse. Knowledge should help us break away from food, water, and oxygen ...

Can AI help us escape the human condition?

July 6, 2023 You don't have to read this article. It touches on very basic principles about life on Earth, including characteristics of life, classifications of life, main domains of life, evolution and natural selection, the place of humans within the animal kingdom. Towards the end it includes semi random rambling thoughts about how AI can help us escape the human condition. Interestingly, it also touches on bio engineering and the ethical obligation to make future humans significantly smarter, sturdier, and smaller.  CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE The following characteristics generally distinguish living organisms from non-living units of matter: cellular; awareness; consumption; regulation; adaptation; development; and reproduction (CAC-RADAR)      Cellular : All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the fundamental building blocks of life and carry out the essential processes necessary for an organism's survival.      Awareness :...
