Are We Training AI or Is AI Training Us?

Artificial Intelligence, the stuff of science fiction only a few decades ago, will likely be an increasing element in the lives of our children and grandchildren. Things only dreamed of in cartoons like the Jetsons fill the news. I recently read an article about a traveler in Phoenix riding around in a taxi with no human driver. The thought of sitting in the back seat behind the invisible "man" at the wheel makes me dizzy. 

How Long Before We're Melbourne?

Susan posted a short video on Saturday about the situation in Melbourne, a province of Victoria, Australia that has turned into a complete police state over the coronavirus. If you aren't horrified at the police action described in the video, you know nothing about history.  Police are smashing the car windows of innocent citizens because they won't give their information at their "check points." They're fining the populace millions of dollars for not wearing masks or daring to go out of their homes. Melbourne is currently a gestapo state. Going out to McDonalds for a burger is "not acceptable."
