I’ve been very fortunate to be included in an email group with some around fifty leading thinkers in healthcare and health science. The groups main initiator is Dr. Rick Lippin, who I’ve have known through correspondence only for 20 years. He appreciates my perspective and occasionally tags me into conversations that run through learning in

In response to Dr. Rick Lippin sharing some of my work on capital-abuse with his group of doctors, Edward Calabrese, a medical science thought-leader wrote: I have been very focused on other forms of achievement and its attendant corruption that affects society.

For months I have been noticing that the images used to describe how AI works look very similar to the images used to describe quantum wave collapse. I decided to explore the parallels in a dailogue with ChatGpt. As the dailogue progressed, it provided a unique opportunity to explore the dynamic common to both Ai Token

This bears repeating. Sometime back in the younger days of AI, I asked Google Bard (Gemini’s original name): DB: Come up with a complex word riddle that has the answer: learning – You are a skilled riddle maker, known for the cleverness of your wordplay and the complexity of your puzzles, skilled at thinking up
Since its emergence my most frequent annoyance with Ai’s has been how difficult it is to access my own non-recent history. Gemini is the worst.
