I was reading an article on BBC.com about the fear of A.I. Is it because we are so bombarded by information, that we have become brainwashed, forgetting all the lessons taught to us? No disruptive technology, since the taming of fire, has resulted in anything less than exponential progress of the human race. All that…

The AI Bubble? We’re Still Building the Scaffolding

In quantum physics, the reason an object appears differently when observed vs. unobserved is due to quantum superposition and the measurement problem. This is a fundamental concept where quantum objects exist in all possible states at once (superposition) until an observation is made. When a measurement is taken, this superposition “collapses” into just one of…

For decades, the U.S. government has maintained that the Roswell incident of 1947 was nothing more than a downed weather balloon. But what if that’s the biggest lie in modern history?

I have a solution to Big Pharma Advertising, where they rip through the possible side effects so fast you can’t possibly take it in–under the cover of happy dancing actors on beautiful green lawns, dressed in the colors of the pills they swallow. Post an image at the end of the commercial instead of rattling…

The 1970 sci-fi film Colossus: The Forbin Project depicted AI designed for perfect order; to protect humanity from itself, making sure a nuclear winter would never arise. Fifty years later, this chilling vision is being integrated into our legal and social systems in ways that create unprecedented levels of algorithmic control, shaping a new era…

As a writer of Science Fiction, I share the blame with my fellow writers for stories written about a dystopian future, but the idea of writing science fiction is fueled by what we feel the future holds. We keep hearing that crime statistics are down–much better than they were in the 1950s, that kids are…
