📰 2 Must-Read AI Stories

Tesla's Prophetic Writings: AI's Preordained Emergence

Prepare to be astounded - Nikola Tesla, the wizard of electricity, envisioned the rise of AI over a century ago.

The Deets:

  • Tesla's 1900 essay "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" painted a vision of future machines with their "own mind," capable of intelligent actions independent of human operators.

  • His idea of machines having a "borrowed mind" reflects today's AI, which learns and evolves based on human-informed data and input.

  • Not limiting his foresight to AI, Tesla accurately predicted the rise of wireless technology and the creation of devices strikingly similar to today's internet and cell phones.

The Takeaway:

We're living Tesla's envisioned future, a world driven by AI and technology. But remember, it's not fixed; we can shape it. Be an active participant, not just an observer. The future is ours to mold!

Google I/O Unveils the Future of AI in Its Tech Suite

Google's annual I/O event unveiled significant AI enhancements across its products, emphasizing the company's commitment to integrating cutting-edge AI technology in everyday tools.

The Deets:

  • Gmail's new AI-powered "Help Me Write" feature can auto-generate entire emails, expanding on existing Smart Reply and Smart Compose tools.

  • Google Maps' "Immersive View for Routes" leverages AI to create a digital model of your planned route, set to roll out in 15 cities by year's end.

  • Google Photos' new "Magic Editor" allows individual elements in a photo to be moved and auto-generates elements cut off by the photo for centering purposes.

  • Google Search introduces conversational responses to queries and multi-faceted search capabilities, though the UI is a work in progress.

  • Google's AI chatbot Bard, now powered by language model PaLM 2, opens to the public, supporting 40 languages and integrating with third-party apps.

The Takeaway: Google is not just embracing the future of AI – it is shaping it. By weaving AI into its product ecosystem, it's creating a more intuitive, productive user experience, demonstrating that the future of AI is already in our hands. The question now is not if, but how we choose to leverage these powerful tools.

🦉 1 Crazy Theory By Ash

Rant By Ash or Ash Rants? Do you see what I did there? hehe

Rev up your intellectual engines, folks, and let's dive right into the heart of the AI revolution. We're not just cruising along; we're navigating this wild ride with the roadmaps of history and religion, propelled by the high-octane fuel of capitalism, and steering our course with the goddamn wheel of technology.

This ain't just about AI as some standalone, shiny new toy. No, we're viewing it through the triple lens of history, capitalism, and religion/politics. Separate entities? Hell no! They're deeply interconnected narratives, influencing, accelerating, and sometimes fu*king with each other, shaping our world and our future.

Consider this: the Abrahamic religions - those ancient, powerful belief systems - were a damn significant catalyst in the evolution of human culture, advancing our understanding and mastery over natural forces. Now, here we are in 2023, standing on the precipice of a similar transformational moment. We're at the dawn of a new spirituality, one that not only encompasses but embraces AI as a force of societal transformation.

But hold up! How do we square this circle with our purpose, our Ikigai, in a world where traditional work is becoming as redundant as a chocolate teapot? Here's the challenge and the opportunity. We need to redefine progress, ripping it away from the shackles of capitalism where it's equated solely with economic growth. Instead, let's envision progress as an indicator of our spiritual and societal evolution.

So, here's my challenge to you:

Take a step back and look at the broader picture. See history, religion, politics, and technology as intertwined threads in the crazy tapestry of human evolution. As we navigate this AI revolution, let's reimagine our purpose in a world transformed by technology. Let's redefine progress to measure our spiritual evolution and our capacity to adapt and thrive amidst change. It's about the journey, not the destination. And what a hell of a journey it promises to be!

And there you have it, folks!

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, questions, or ideas. Don't hesitate to hit 'Reply' and share your insights with me!

In case you missed our #5 issue this week, you can catch up right here…

Now go out there and have an absolutely legendary weekend!

Your friend,

Ash
