Fresh Quotation:

 

Today’s Reflection:

All is good here. No complaints.

Richard said that Carllito will be getting a prosthesis for his broken ACL. It will happen soon. Good luck. He is such a nice dog.

The news about AI is certainly concerning. What ever happened to just unplug the computer that holds the AI. I know that is too ‘old school’. 

 

Historical events

19 Sept History video

Cool to know:

We're all stars.

Okay, technically we're all made of stardust, but that's still pretty cool. Recent research found that humans and the galaxy share 97% of the same kind of atoms.

 

AI positive and negative:

Ethical Intelligence

Excellence is not just about performance; it also involves ethical considerations. These systems aim to make decisions that align with human values.

Resilience and Adaptability

They can handle uncertainty, unexpected scenarios, and changing environments with minimal disruption.

A long, winding road cuts through rocks more than 300 million years old in England"s Peak District. As if that geological timescale were not remarkable enough, the road passes through Winnats Pass, a narrow limestone gorge whose towering cliffs reveal the ancient seas that once covered this part of Britain.

 

Interesting Space Facts:

Our solar system is 4.57 billion years old.

Well, give or take 30 million years(ish). Accurately speaking, it is 4.571 billion years old.

Scientists estimate that in about 5 billion years, our Sun will expand, becoming a Red Giant. And in about 7.5 billion years, its expanding surface will swallow up and engulf the Earth.
