So, there you have it.
He even looks like a retard, right?
Just someone's retardo puppet, the clown up on the stage, just like that imbecile Elon Musk
Pitching the ridiculousness you stupid people are gullible enough to swallow about "artificial intelligence"
Got that never-talented Bill Gates building dangerous nuclear power plants just to generate more electricity to animate cartoonish characters that use variables to create talking-points
Moronic.
Because you are so gullible and naive.
*You* swallow that "A.I." nonsense because *you* are non-tech-savvy.

What Robert Mueller Learned From Enron
By Jesse Eisinger
July 13, 2017
Prosecuting the Enron executives went slowly. Not until 2006 did a jury find the former chief executive, Jeffrey K. Skilling, and the former chairman and chief executive, Kenneth L. Lay, guilty. (Mr. Lay died before sentencing.)
The frauds Enron was accused of were audacious. The company had hidden debt in a complex web of off-the-books companies and had faked its profits. Yet prosecutorial success was not inevitable. Mr. Skilling and Mr. Lay pleaded ignorance, blaming lower-level employees

This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again

This was a major investment, he added: 20% of payroll was dedicated to a mass-learning initiative, and it failed because of mass resistance, even sabotage. Belief, Vaughan discovered, is a hard thing to manufacture. “In those early days, we did get resistance, we got flat-out, ‘Yeah, I’m not going to do this’ resistance. And so we said goodbye to those people.”
The pushback: Why didn’t they get on board?
Vaughan was surprised to find it was often the technical staff, not marketing or sales, who dug in their heels. They were the “most resistant,” he said, voicing various concerns about what the AI couldn’t do, rather than focusing on what it could. The marketing and salespeople were enthused by the possibilities of working with these new tools, he added.

In our inaugural issue in spring 1995, we report that Microsoft is introducing a developer title, the MCSD, to complement its MCSE
Novell’s far greater number of CNEs (70,000 at the end of 1995), appears to tantalize Microsoft. In a newsletter to its training centers, Redmond admits to “[continuing] its aggressive pursuit of Certified Novell Engineers (CNEs).” For example, the company creates marketing seminars to help CNEs to get training on NT.
As NT begins to penetrate the market at a remarkable pace, the value of MCSEs begins to soar. Suddenly, it seems everyone is migrating from NetWare to NT

MCSD Revisions on Tap
MCP Magazine has learned Microsoft is in the midst of revising MCSD certification track requirements.
06/01/2001
According to sources, the revised MCSD certification track would cover more ground than the present track, with a seven-exam framework: five core and two elective. The new exams would cover C++; Visual Basic; C#; and a new version of FoxPro, FoxPro 7.0. An emphasis on .NET would be seen on exams covering Web Forms and Windows Forms development, while .NET-specific questions could appear on the Solution Architectures exam (Exam 70-100 in the current MCSD track). The new MCSD set of tests also could feature a case-study-based Component Design exam, plus a developer version of the Highly Available Web Solutions exam that soon will be part of the MCSE program.
“Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be possible to conduct this kind of testing on a mass scale,” Gunderloy said. “It would be just be too expensive and labor intensive. But it would be the right way to judge a developer’s skills.”

Most people “get stuck because they think from their work flow first,” he added, and they conclude AI is overhyped because they want AI to fit into their old way of working. “It takes a lot more thinking and a lot more kind of prodding for you to change the way that you work,” but once you do, you see dramatic increases. A human can’t possibly keep five call transcripts in their head while you’re trying to write a proposal to a client, he offers, but AI can.

"The Whole Truth"
(from internet transcript)
Your next stop, the twilight zone.
A honey from hunnicut! Drive it in good health! Too much power, eh? We're just looking.
Well, that's what we want you to do.
Nobody pushes you around here.
No, sir, young man.
Around here, you can pause, exhale, check, recheck, think, peruse, contemplate, wade through, thumb over, dip into.
Be my guest, folks.
We were thinking of maybe a little coupe- something around $500- but as late a model as we can late? You shock me, you know that? You know your husband shocked me just then? Well, he was only do you know why you shocked me? I'll tell you why you shocked me.
It's because you've succumbed to the propaganda of every cement-headed clod up and down this street.
I said propaganda.
They like to push the late models, don't they? They do, don't they? You know why they push the late models? You think it's because they're honest, law-abiding, rigidly moral churchgoers? Let me tell you something, young man. They push they push the late models because that is where the profit margin is.
They'll cram those post-'54s down your gullet because they would rather make a buck than a friend.
They would rather make a profit than a relationship.
They would rather cram their wallets full of cash than fill their hearts with the fellowship of men to men.
We're really just looking for a good transportation car, and we thought the newer the car new? That's where you've completely gone wrong.
That's where you've suddenly gone amiss.
That's the juncture that's headed you into a blind alley.
You don't want a new car.
You don't want one of those rinky-dink, slapped-together on an assembly line, covered with chintzy chrome, fin tails, idiotic names and no more workmanship than you can stick into a thimble.
No.
I'll tell you what you want.
You want the craftsmanship that comes with age the dependability of proven performers the dignity of traditional transportation.
This is what you want.
A '38 coupe.
It'll get you where you want to go.

[opening narration]
Narrator: This, as the banner already has proclaimed, is Mr. Harvey Hunnicut, an expert on commerce and con jobs, a brash, bright, and larceny-loaded wheeler and dealer who, when the good Lord passed out a conscience, must have gone for a beer and missed out. And these are a couple of other characters in our story: a little old man and a Model A car - but not just any old man and not just any Model A. There's something very special about the both of them. As a matter of fact, in just a few moments, they'll give Harvey Hunnicut something that he's never experienced before. Through the good offices of a little magic, they will unload on Mr. Hunnicut the absolute necessity to tell the truth. Exactly where they come from is conjecture, but as to where they're heading for, this we know, because all of them - and you - are on the threshold of the Twilight Zone.

BRAIN STORM
EPISODE NUMBER - 516
DVD DISC - Season 5, Disc 4

(from internet transcript)
McKAY: See, one of my old ... this guy who was doing his doctorate the same time as me, he's giving a big secret presentation about some new thing that he's working on, and everyone and anyone in the physics community's gonna be there and ... well ... see the thing is, there's this perception out there that, uh, I'm, um ... (he looks down, embarrassed) ... like a washout recluse.
KELLER: Why?
McKAY: Well, cause I do this for a living. I mean, super double tip-top secret stuff. I mean, I haven't published a paper in nearly a decade not one that could be read by the general public and I'm kinda hard to get ahold of, what with living in another galaxy and all.
KELLER: Yeah, I know what that's like!
McKAY: Exactly! They think I'm a shut-in. So I was thinking that, um, if I was to, say, show up with a woman ...
KELLER: Uh-huh.
McKAY (looking at her shyly): ... a-a beautiful woman ...
(Jen smiles, flattered.)
McKAY (awkwardly): ... that, um, they would maybe not think that I was ... like, a complete loser. It'd be, like, one day the first night we were there and then you could be off to Chippewa Falls. (He looks at her hopefully.) I mean, it could be fun.
KELLER (thoughtfully): Hmm. Now, let's see: a room full of physicists; a long-winded presentation I probably won't understand. Yeah, it doesn't really sound like fun.
McKAY: Well, there'll be drinks, probably
TUNNEY: Solving a problem like global warming may seem impossibly complex. So many nations, so many corporations and John Q Public will have to agree on a dizzying number of issues. So, then, what can one person really do to make a difference?
(A photograph of Tunney appears on the screen behind him.)
TUNNEY: What can I, with my particular and unique skills set, do to help?
(Jennifer looks at Rodney.)
KELLER: They think you're the arrogant one?!
McKAY: Hm!
TUNNEY: I've been working on a number of projects over the last decade and I realised that if I were to combine them, I just may be able to achieve something unexpected. So, ladies and gentlemen, with major funding from my friends at Kramer Innovations, I have been able to devise a means to cool our planet in a safe and controlled way.
(The audience start to murmur. Jennifer smirks at Rodney.)
KELLER: This guy wouldn't know "cool" ...
(She trails off as Rodney, frowning and intrigued, leans forward in his seat.)
TUNNEY: Now, the science behind this is immensely complex, but there will be detailed briefs handed out to you as you leave the lecture hall, but for right now, let me just give you the Cliff Notes.
(An image of the device he has invented comes up on the screen behind him.)
TUNNEY: It begins with a massive heat sink – one of my own design – which steadily draws heat from the surrounding environment.
McKAY and KELLER (simultaneously): But where does the heat go?
TUNNEY: "Where does the heat go?" you may ask. Well, my friends, that is the hard part.
(A new image appears on the screen. On the left are the words "Our Space/Time". The heat from Earth can be seen channelling along a sort of tunnel to the other side, labelled "Alternate Space/Time".)
TUNNEY: I give you the Tunney Space/Time Matter Bridge.
(Rodney stares in shock as he recognises the concept.)
McKAY: Wait. What?
TUNNEY: Now this isn't just some theoretical math proof. This is a functioning piece of technology – one that literally moves heat from our space/time and vents it out into another space/time.
McKAY: Yeah, but, that's my bridge! My sister and I came up with it!
(The man sitting beside Rodney looks round at him.)
KELLER: Shh!

Key controlled block cipher cryptographic system
A cryptographic system for encrypting a block of binary data under the control of a key consisting of a set of binary symbols. The cryptographic system may be utilized within a data processing environment to ensure complete privacy of data and information that is stored or processed within a computing system. All authorized subscribers who are permitted access to data within the network are assigned a unique key consisting of a combination of binary symbols. The central processing unit within the computing network contains a complete listing of all distributed authorized subscriber keys. All communications transmitted from terminal input are encrypted into a block cipher by use of the cryptographic system operating under the control of the subscriber key which is inputed to the terminal device. At the receiving station or central processing unit, an identical subscriber key which is obtained from internal tables stored within the computing system is used to decipher all received ciphered communications.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With the growing use of remote-access computer networks which provide a large number of subscribers access to "Data Banks" for receiving, storing, processing and furnishing information of a confidential nature, the question of data security has come to be of increasing concern. Generally, present day computing centers have elaborate procedures for maintaining physical security at the location where the central processor and data storage facilities are located. For example, some procedures used are the restriction of personnel within the computing center, utilization of mechanical keys for activating computer systems and associated terminal devices, and other techniques of this type. These security procedures while providing a measure of safety in keeping out unauthorized individuals from the computing center itself, are not effective with respect to large remote access computer networks which have many terminals located at far distant sites or systems which have a capability of accepting terminal inputs via telecommunication lines.
Some digital techniques have been implemented in computing systems for the purpose of maintaining privacy of data. One such approach is to use a feature generally known as memory protection. This type of data security approach associates with various segments of the storage within the central processor a unique binary key. Then, internal to the processor, there are various protection circuits that check for a match of the binary key executable instructions and those sections of storage which are to be accessed. While this type of protection system provides a certain measure of privacy with respect to accidental destruction of stored information, it would not prove very effective in protecting information within the computing system from a sophisticated cryptanalyst who has complete knowledge of the computing system. In the field of communication, cryptography has long been recognized as a means of achieving certain aspects of security. Various systems have been developed in the prior art for encrypting messages for maintaining secrecy of communications. One well known technique for generating ciphers from clear text messages, is the use of substitution systems. Technically, in such a system, letters or symbols of the clear text are substituted by some other symbol in accordance with a predetermined "Key". The resulting substituted message, comprises a cipher which is secret and hopefully cannot be understood without knowledge of the appropriate key. A particular advantage of substitution in accordance with a prescribed key is that the deciphering operation is easily implemented by a reverse application of the key. A common implementation of substitution techniques may be found in ciphering wheel devices. For example, those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,964,856 and 2,984,700 filed Mar. 10, 1941 and Sept. 22, 1944, respectively.

History of artificial intelligence
From Wikipedia
The history of artificial intelligence (AI) began in antiquity, with myths, stories, and rumors of artificial beings endowed with intelligence or consciousness by master craftsmen. The study of logic and formal reasoning from antiquity to the present led directly to the invention of the programmable digital computer in the 1940s, a machine based on abstract mathematical reasoning. This device and the ideas behind it inspired scientists to begin discussing the possibility of building an electronic brain.
The field of AI research was founded at a workshop held on the campus of Dartmouth College in 1956. Attendees of the workshop became the leaders of AI research for decades. Many of them predicted that machines as intelligent as humans would exist within a generation. The U.S. government provided millions of dollars with the hope of making this vision come true.
Eventually, it became obvious that researchers had grossly underestimated the difficulty of this feat.
Formal reasoning
Artificial intelligence is based on the assumption that the process of human thought can be mechanized. The study of mechanical—or "formal"—reasoning has a long history. Chinese, Indian and Greek philosophers all developed structured methods of formal deduction by the first millennium BCE. Their ideas were developed over the centuries by philosophers such as Aristotle (who gave a formal analysis of the syllogism), Euclid (whose Elements was a model of formal reasoning), al-Khwārizmī (who developed algebra and gave his name to the word algorithm) and European scholastic philosophers such as William of Ockham and Duns Scotus.
Spanish philosopher Ramon Llull (1232–1315) developed several logical machines devoted to the production of knowledge by logical means; Llull described his machines as mechanical entities that could combine basic and undeniable truths by simple logical operations, produced by the machine by mechanical meanings, in such ways as to produce all the possible knowledge. Llull's work had a great influence on Gottfried Leibniz, who redeveloped his ideas.
In the 17th century, Leibniz, Thomas Hobbes and René Descartes explored the possibility that all rational thought could be made as systematic as algebra or geometry. Hobbes famously wrote in Leviathan: "For reason ... is nothing but reckoning, that is adding and subtracting". Leibniz envisioned a universal language of reasoning, the characteristica universalis, which would reduce argumentation to calculation so that "there would be no more need of disputation between two philosophers than between two accountants. For it would suffice to take their pencils in hand, down to their slates, and to say each other (with a friend as witness, if they liked): Let us calculate." These philosophers had begun to articulate the physical symbol system hypothesis that would guide AI research.
The study of mathematical logic provided the essential breakthrough that made artificial intelligence seem plausible. The foundations had been set by such works as Boole's The Laws of Thought and Frege's Begriffsschrift. Building on Frege's system, Russell and Whitehead presented a formal treatment of the foundations of mathematics in their masterpiece, the Principia Mathematica in 1913. Inspired by Russell's success, David Hilbert challenged mathematicians of the 1920s and 30s to answer this fundamental question: "can all of mathematical reasoning be formalized?" His question was answered by Gödel's incompleteness proof, Turing's machine and Church's Lambda calculus.
Their answer was surprising in two ways. First, they proved that there were, in fact, limits to what mathematical logic could accomplish. But second (and more important for AI) their work suggested that, within these limits, any form of mathematical reasoning could be mechanized. The Church-Turing thesis implied that a mechanical device, shuffling symbols as simple as 0 and 1, could imitate any conceivable process of mathematical deduction. The key insight was the Turing machine—a simple theoretical construct that captured the essence of abstract symbol manipulation. This invention would inspire a handful of scientists to begin discussing the possibility of thinking machines.

Conditional (computer programming)
From Wikipedia
In computer science, conditionals (that is, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs) are programming language constructs that perform different computations or actions or return different values depending on the value of a Boolean expression, called a condition.
If–then(–else)
The if–then or if–then–else construction is used in many programming languages. Although the syntax varies from language to language, the basic structure (in pseudocode form) looks like this:
If (Boolean condition) Then
(consequent)
Else
(alternative)
End If

On January 23, 2023, Microsoft announced a new US$10 billion investment in OpenAI Global, LLC over multiple years, partially needed to use Microsoft's cloud-computing service Azure. Rumors of this deal suggested that Microsoft may receive 75% of OpenAI's profits until it secures its investment return and a 49% stake in the company. The investment is believed to be a part of Microsoft's efforts to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into the Bing search engine. Google announced a similar AI application (Bard), after ChatGPT was launched, fearing that ChatGPT could threaten Google's place as a go-to source for information.

Thanks for listening!
One other point I should make, for the sake of transparency
Many years later, after my experience in the VA hospital, the thought began to dawn vaguely in my conscious mind that my current state of confused existence was all purely of my own construct ; by that fantastic person I theorize that I became in 1989.
I do have memory of the 1990s. Those are regular, boring, non-fantastic memories.
But you know what, I don't care. I don't need to be some sort of super-hero figure that my work seems to make me out to be.

Quotes
Frankenstein: What were you doing down there, getting more secret instructions from the lunatic fringe?
Annie Paine: Why don't you just turn me in and get it over with?
Frankenstein: Your cover's blown, you're no threat to me now.
Annie Paine: I have a job to do.
Frankenstein: Your job is a waste of time. The world doesn't want to be saved. I'm giving you a chance to save one small part of it: yourself.
Annie Paine: Who *are* you, anyway?
Frankenstein: Nobody. I was brought up in a government training center to be just who I am: Frankenstein, this year. They use one up, they bring in another. But I will be the last of the line.

Doctor Zefram COCHRANE: Do they have to keep doing that?
LAFORGE: It's just a little hero worship, Doctor. To tell you the truth I can't say I blame them. We all grew up hearing about what you did. Or what you're about to do.

(Colonial One (interstellar passenger-spaceship) - Baltar is alone, with paperwork spread out before him)
Six: I see they've put you to work. (He looks over, sees her sitting next to him.) Ignoring me won't help.
Dr. Gaius Baltar: No, I've decided you're an expression of my, uh, subconscious mind playing itself out through my waking states.
Six: Oh, I'm only in your head?
Baltar: Exactly.
Six: Hmm. Have you considered the possibility that I could very well exist *only* in your head? Without being a hallucination? Maybe you see and hear me, because while you were sleeping, I implanted a chip in your brain that transmits my image right into your conscious mind.
Baltar: No, no, see that's me again. My subconscious self is expressing irrational fears, which I must choose to ignore.
Six: (moving closer to him) What are you working on?
Baltar: If you were really a chip in my head, I wouldn't have to tell you, now would I?
Six: Indulge me.
Baltar: I'm trying to figure out how you managed to pull this kind of an attack. You virtually shut down the entire defense network without firing a shot. Entire squadrons lost power just as they engaged the enemy. The CMP's a navigation program, but you, uh, you made changes to the programs that you were building in, backdoors for your company to exploit later.
Six: All true, in a sense.
Baltar: That was your job.
Six: Officially. Unofficially, I had other motives. We had something, Gaius. Something... special.
Baltar: This is insane.
Six: And what I want most of all is for you to love me.
Baltar: Love you?
Six: Of course, Gaius. Don't you understand? God is love. (She goes to kiss him. He jerks awake.)
Baltar: No!
