For years I’ve dreamed of having natural conversations with artificial intelligence like Tony Stark does with J.A.R.V.I.S. in Iron Man. And now, thanks to advances by companies like OpenAI, we’re closer than ever to that sci-fi future. I’m blown away by how ChatGPT can understand context, remember facts, and have reasoned dialogue. The only limitation now is a slight lag between messages. But overall, chatting with CHatGPT feels amazingly human and is a huge leap forward for AI. I can’t wait to see where this technology goes in the next few years!

 “The chess-board is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also...
 (Picture: a digital print I made called Savage Peace, click image for larger view) Yesterday it was reported that abortions set a new record for one month in Britain. Marie Stopes, which performs about a third of the abortions in Britain, conducted 5,992 abortions in January. The question is...
If you open your eyes in the morning and you are still breathing, then you are alive. Every thing else is a bonus. (Picture: somewhere on manuevers in Germany) Part of my training as an Infantry Officer required me to go to Ranger School, which is suppose to primarily be...
 Whatever happened to good old fashioned hedonism, you know, the doctrine that states that pleasure is good and that pursuing anything other than pleasure is absurd and irrational? The only thing we pursue these days, it seems, is work, work, and more work, so we can buy more things we...
(Picture: Birmingham, New Street) We live in a consumer society and it runs on a simple principle – our lives will be better if we buy this car, own this home, eat this food, use that mobile phone, drink this beer, or wear this brand of clothes. We have allowed ourselves...
