Artificial Intelligence:

 

Today's Tids Issue 4.846

I'll take people:

 

I see that our new Mars rover is tweeting back messages via a Twitter arrangement, which raises one more question, can we trust Her information?

 

A year from today it will be 2/22/22! It’s always nice to have something to look forward to.

 

I guess an ultimate gamble are these Texas unregulated energy companies. It’s one of those schemes that looks real good, until Texas freezes over. Something will probably be negotiated on these over-the-top bills. I feel for the people and their initial shock of what they saw. But in reality, they knew this was possibility when they went for the incredibly low electrical s charges. That is, if the sales people gave them the current information.

 

I wonder how Mike Lindell is sleeping these nights since voting machine Maker Dominion Sues My Pillow maker for $1.3 Billion.

 

The Question:

Dennis is the Menace consistently antagonizing his elderly next door neighbor. Who is the neighbor?  Bonus: Probably for over 80 years Dagwood has been consistently harassed by his boss. What is the boss’s name? Extra Bonus: Some of the most enjoyable movies ever have starred the great Sidney Poitier.

 

The Headlines:

--As Vaccinations Improve Economic Outlook, Investors Move Away From Growth Techs Into Economy Sensitive Equities; Inflation Concerns Temper Weks Opening; Bond Yields Rise.

--Supreme Won’t Stop Grand Jury From Getting Trump Tax Returns.

--Oil Spill Closes Israel Mediterranean Beaches

Rachmaninoff’s Symphony #2 may not be the greatest symphony ever written, but it makes me happy.

 

Over the years a lot of people got by with artificial intelligence.

 

Did you notice that the NASA engineers have deemed our new Rover a “She”. They say they want to humanize her. I’ve never seen a woman with four wheels and arms like that. Ouch!

 

Humans are humans. Can we not cancel that basic concept of cultural anthropology?

 

Whoops! I made a bit of an error Friday. The Precedence took 7 months to get from here to there, and not 7 years as I said. It covered 293,000,000 miles in 203 days, or about 1,197,044.33 miles per day. Maybe we should build vacuum tunnels for Amtrac.

 

All you have to know about bias in the media is to compare what the Press did to Bush during Katrina to the kid gloves treatment of Biden in Texas .

 

As AI matures, and it is maturing rapidly, the three higher skilled professions in most jeopardy are Market Research Analysts, Sales Managers and Computer Programmers. Yes, AI will perform effectively in serious functions in formerly great occupations that demanded some of the most intelligent human brains. It seems like people will be paid not to work, until real AI is unionized.

 

Do you know what I’m getting tired of? Having to create all of these “My Accounts” with various services from hospitals to Cable TV companies so I can be “In Control” And make my life easier. And eliminate all of those nice employees who now help me on the phone.

 

The Answer:

Mr. Wilson just hates the idea of Dennis coming over for a visit. Bonus: Dagwood has been laboring for years and years under the oppressive, unforgiving Mr. Dithers. Extra Bonus: Sidney the Great starred in Lilies of the Field (A favorite here). That is number 3 on a best of list topped by “In the Heat of the Night”, followed by “Guess Who’s Coming for Dinner”, “Lilies”, “The Defiant Ones”, “Separate but Equal”, “A Raisin in the Sun”, “A Patch of Blue”, “Edge of the City”, “The Bedford Incident”, and #10 “The Jackal”. I may remember Number’s 12 and 13 as well as any. Blackboard Jungle (1955) at #12 was one of his first and was just plain riveting to a kid in HIgh School. As riveting as Blackboard was, in 1967 Sidney brought us “To Sir In Love”, which just moved you and made you happy. A real heartstring puller. Sidney was one of those actors who must read his scripts t first, because any movie I have with him in it was very good. But, maybe it just because Sidney, after all, was just that good.

 

I like this tune, To Sir with Love. Maye it’s because I remember it from the movie. It’s a ice simple song. I like simple. Remember back when they just sang songs without lights ablazin’ and dancers a agyrating’?
