artificial intelligence
The future of artificial intelligence.
My Blood Has a Live Feed
There is a disc, adhesive, the size of a coin, worn on the back of my arm like a small moon in permanent orbit around the body it studies. Beneath its surface a filament thinner than a hair reaches into the fluid between the cells and, every few minutes, samples the sugar dissolved there. I wear one of these on my own arm right now, and the strangeness of it still catches me some mornings. The device speaks continuously to a screen elsewhere in the room. What it reports is a number, and that number carries the private arithmetic of a body's own chemistry, made visible to itself for the first time in the history of the species.

Let's Have a Chat
Just typing into a screen and squeezing the picture up there in the digital ether is quite the splendor. The power of transforming words into images is only the tiniest of details that artificial intelligence (AI) has to offer. As this missive is typed, the development is altering ways to detect cancers, direct plans for skyscrapers, repair the structures to crumbling school systems, organize strategies for investment schemes, study weather patterns to get an understanding of the beauty of the human environment, irrigate farm land, and scores of other applications.

My friend recently totaled his car, after losing his job to AI, for he was a programmer. He had never had a wreck. I was originally a programmer, web designer, and ethical hacker, predicting the weaknesses in my systems that I created. Even the CIA, FBI and Secret Service wanted to hire me. No way would I join those funky entities.

Where Are We Going?
Already Here challenge prompt: Write about one technology, tool, or habit in your everyday life that already feels like science fiction, and what it’s quietly changing. Some of the things we use every day would have sounded like science fiction not that long ago. Now they're just part of everyday life. Think about one technology, tool, or everyday habit that already feels like science fiction. It could be something you use every day or something you've only recently started to notice. Explore how it's changing the way people live, work, create, communicate, or think. Whether your piece is personal, analytical, or reflective, stay grounded in the present and consider what these quiet changes might mean.

AI is here
My dad constantly tells me AI is dangerous and is going to take over the world. He hates modern technology and his opinion is based on a newspaper report saying its bad. So like with many things he hates something he doesn't know how it works or what it does. I am not its greatest fan, especially as it steals book, film and music content with no thought for the creator.

E.T. Phone Home. Runner-Up in Already Here Challenge.
It feels like science friction, the technological addiction. E.T.’s parents probably let him have it for losing his phone, especially before sending a pin. Thank God for Google Earth. No telling how they would have found him if all they had was a paper map from the Earth welcome center.

Vocal Are Not The Only Ones With Issues
Introduction Vocal is still having issues with the platform, and I have been critical of the rollout, but what they have done is implement changes to what is the best publishing platform for creators. On my Zoom call with Justin and Chris, I found out he had been up to Inverness, where I was a couple of weeks ago, but they gave insights into what they had to deal with.
