Steve’s Barking; AI …..Predator or dud?

 


I keep hearing that AI ( artificial intelligence)  in robots and computers can out think humans and actually do things only animals can do and that is reasoning and thinking. These things ( I don’t know what else to call them ) can out think us humans and if we’re not careful they will take over the world, kind of like the movie predator ( The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie) and we humans will become obsolete.

 Now I understand that there is a minority train of thought that AI can only go so far and then it will soon reach it capacity that it will just be able to calculate faster us humans and help us manipulate are thinking by movies and photos. That in the next couple of years this will hit a stone wall.

 Now this blogger is bright enough to figure what is next and I’m one of those who use AI only to look up facts that may or may not be manipulated by humans and or machines.

Steve Barking Do ya really trust US government statistics?

 


Do you really trust statistics by a group of people who would lose their jobs if they gave lousy figures.??
There are an awful lot of fools out there who believe what ever the government says, even though those giving  the reports would lose their jobs if it shows too much negative numbers.
 The current U.S. labor statistics seems to this old fool like the numbers that came out of the old Soviet Union,

Steve’s barking; Don’t care about Super Bowl Half time show

 

This idiot couldn’t care less about the Super Bowl halftime show. I turn in to watch a football game and the damn halftime show is way way too long, no matter who the entertainer is. 

 If I wanted to see a musical performance I’ll go to U Tube music. The half time show takes away from the game. The half time show twice or more then normal halftime and it seems to me it interferes with the mindset of some of the teams.

Steve’s Barking; What about the seventh largest market cap stock

 


My understanding that the seventh largest market cap stock is Tesla today.
 My understanding that the seventh largest market cap stock in 2000 was Enron
 Maybe that why I don’t give much credence to the worth of Tesla.

Steve’s Barking; Is Donald Trump a Republican Socialist?

 Wtf, Donald Trump a Republican Socialist. First of all how can one be a Republican and a Socialist at the same time. Well Mr. Trump says put a cap on credit card interest rates, that’s kind of like what a Democratic Socialist would say. Donald says that drug companies charge too much so let’s pressure the drug companies to drop the price of drugs, now isn’t that what a democratic socialist would say? 

 Hold on, is this blogger saying that the president of America is a socialist and not really a Republican or is the President of the United States trying to turn the Republican Party, which I’m told he represents from a Conservative Party to a populist party.

 Nah this bloggers is just making fun of ( not very good I might add)  what we call socialist, populist and sometimes conservative is crazy.

 Good thing this blogger doesn’t have too many followers, because what he just wrote is kind of hard to understand.

Steve’s Barking; Is it Commuism - Socialism that retards growth or something else


 Ah… I keep reading and hearing on the idiot box that Communist and Socialism makes a country poorer. They tend to talk ( write) about the Soviet Union and Cuba and for some reason they don’t talk about The People’s Republic of China. They also don’t seem to remember Haiti under Papa Doc and a very robust economy of Argentina before Juan Perrone  and the collapse of  Argentina’s economy. The 10 top countries with the highest GDP, most of them Germany, Italy United Kingdom,  Canada ext, with non socialist counties US of A and India (?) Japan (?)industrial power houses in the top 10 ten. ( I’m really not sure we’re to place Australia). 

 In the fog of my writing, I’m saying that you can be a country with communist/ socialist tendencies and be an economic powerhouse while you can be a strong capitalist country and be an economic dud,

 “I” believe that the most effective countries economically are countries that have mixed socialist capitalist  tendencies.

Steve’s Barking; Were is the money coming from???

 Oh this dumb blogger has a problem, he just doesn’t understand were the  money is coming from to finance “AI” computing. I keep hearing that companies like Amazon, Meta and Google are going to spend 2 Trillion dollars in the next year. Now I keep hearing that most of this money is going to be borrowed. Ok where the heck are they supposed to borrow this money from. Now as I do recall from one of my economics classes that would create higher interest rates. Hmm would this hurt the debt of governments, making it more expensive to borrow? While I’m at it, would this raise the cost of borrowing for housing? Now my feeble brain seems to think that the money in circulation is shrinking because of layoffs and consumer spending is slowing. 

**********************************************************************************

I keep hearing of national debt and how will these countries pay off there debt, yet some of these same people don’t worry about company debt. 🤔
