    Updated: 2023-03-31 09:20:00
    Note: This essay is the work of a real and still-alive dinobaby. No smart software involved, just a dumb humanoid. I am not going to dispute the wisdom and insight in the Microsoft essay “Consider the Future of This Decidedly Semantic AI.” The author is Xoogler Sam Schillace, CVP or corporate vice president and now […]

  • Average and Smart Software

    Updated: 2023-03-31 09:15:00
    Note: This essay is the work of a real and still-alive dinobaby. No smart software involved, just a dumb humanoid. I by pure serendipity clicked on a link to an essay called in true click-bait style “The Age of Average.” Snappy, eh? The article by Alex Murrell presents compelling examples of “good enough.” Illustrations and […]

  • Has the Google Caught Its Tail in a Digital Shredder?

    Updated: 2023-03-30 09:20:52
    Judge Donato concluded that Google took deliberate steps to make certain chat messages would not be preserved. The intentional campaign suggests that Google’s senior management is careless, forgetful, or possibly mendacious. Here is a statement in a court document issued on March 27, 2023 for Case No. 3:21-md-02981-JD: Like Mr. Pichai, other key Google employees, […]

    Note: This essay is the work of a real and still-alive dinobaby. No smart software involved, just a dumb humanoid. I thought Google was going to solve death. Sigh.

    Note: This essay is the work of a real and still-alive dinobaby. No smart software involved, just a dumb humanoid. (The anigif is from https://gifer.com/en/Vea.)

  • TikTok: An App for Mind Control?

    Updated: 2023-03-29 09:15:00
    I read “TikTok Is Part of China’s Cognitive Warfare Campaign.” The write up is an opinion. Before I suggest that the write is missing the big picture, let me highlight what I think sums up the argument: While a TikTok ban may take out the first and fattest mole, it fails to contend with the […]

  • Are Libraries Next in the Target Zone?

    Updated: 2023-03-28 09:25:00
    I don’t have much to add to “Internet Archive Violated Publisher Copyrights by Lending eBooks, Court Rules.” The write up points out: A federal judge has ruled against the Internet Archive in its high-profile case against a group of four US publishers led by Hachette Book Group…. The lawsuit originated from the Internet Archive’s decision […]

  • Google Goofs: Believing in the Myth of Googzilla and the Digital Delphi

    Updated: 2023-03-27 09:20:00
    I used the word “Googzilla” to help describe the digital Delphi located near what used to be Farmer’s Field. When I began work on “The Google Legacy” in 2002, it was evident to me and my research team that Google was doing the Silicon Valley hockey stick thing; that is, slow initial start, some desperation […]

  • More Impressive Than Winning at Go: WolframAlpha and ChatGPT

    Updated: 2023-03-27 09:15:00
    For a rocket scientist, Stephen Wolfram and his team are reasonably practical. I want to call your attention to this article on Dr. Wolfram’s Web site: “ChatGPT Gets Its Wolfram Superpowers.” In the essay, Dr. Wolfram explains how the computational system behind WolframAlpha can be augmented with ChatGPT.
