Co-owner of AI and Quantum computing company, SavantX, David Ostby helps us walk through a very informative analysis of what AI is and isn't and does and doesn't do.

The Economist Interview Harari and Suleyman on AI “Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can have both of my ears If they don’t mind the size.” - John Prine I wasn’t blind yet when I had cornea transplant surgery in my left eye a couple of weeks ago, but I’m told that would have likely been my eventual fate. I was diagnosed with Fuch’s Dystrophy, which impacts a thin layer of cells that pump fluid to the cornea. The loss of those cells causes fluid to build up on the cornea, leading to cloudy vision and, over time, blisters that can break and become infected. |
