Face recognition

Face recognition technology is scanning us. This really noxious software is creeping... like into every corner. Basically, our privacy is no more. Expect laws to be passed to regulate us even more. What can we see? Yeah, every day there is a new rule or reg. Sadly, they find a new law to pass. Oh yes, it is supposed to protect us.

Roger Moore

Roger Moore is gone. He played James Bond the super spy in movies. Sadly, he is one actor we will miss. 2020 seems so sterile for some reason.

20%

20% of our books are on paper. These old school paperback books are often cheaper than e-books even. Yo, that really does surprise me. After all, an e-book costs a lot less to produce and it is way easier to move electrons down a wire... than physical books down an expressway. Well, the future is what it is.

Don Imus

Don Imus is gone. He was a legendary shock jock on radio years ago. Well, he will be missed by many. I really hope that he can go to a better place than this one.

wind power

Brothers and sisters, the future could be wind power. Still, we are not so sure. First off, those large generators are so expensive. Second, the wind is intermittent and that means... basically, we need to have other backup sources. OK, so we could have some peaker power plants that run on natural gas.

curve

AI has trouble reading text in a curve. Well, amazon is on our rescue. They have a new way. Hey, this is great ocr news. Maybe, we will have better luck now. Basically, we do need to find a machine learning algorithm with more power.

GAN

GAN means generative adversarial network and it is an AI method that we find is very promising. For example, here is the latest from amazon. They have a GAN we know as deep composer. It can be put to use... like to compose computer music.

flux cap

Back to the future was a great movie. I really like the flux cap. Well, according to Dr. Brown, it is what makes time travel possible.

cows

Question for you. Hey, is dairy free better than milk from cows? Hey, that is certainly an interesting idea, but who can say? I do not like soy. Oh wow, it tastes like crap. Fact is, soy has substances similar to estrogen and that could cause cancer.

poor

It is a terrible time to be poor. Cuts to food stamps are serious.  Folks, we are in an ominous economic crisis. Sadly, things might get even worse.

Deep learning

Deep learning is all the rage. Still, we need to think about the world we are in. Artificial intelligence requires intensive programming. Also, it consumes massive resources. Expect artificial intelligence computers to be expensive.

7%

7% of Disney minus users... do plan to cancel Netflix - wow. This is some scary news. Hey, we need to get better movies. I am tired of seeing crap. Please do send um Netflix the memo. Oh yes, it is TIME to improve your service.

Njord

Njord water condenser creates water out of thin air. Fellow colleagues, this is an amazing technological breakthrough for people who get tired in an easy manner. Hey, we do not have to carry jugs no more. All that backbreaking work is gone. Well, let us celebrate this facet of the future that is upon us.

Boeing

Boeing messes up once more. Folks, it is not just the 737 max. System wide problem are all over this once iconic company. It reminds me of sears. Yeah, the good old days certainly are gone. We do hope that they may recover.

mosque

Minnesota saw the vandalism of a mosque. It is treated as a hate crime. Fellows, we need to see what is going on around us. Dark clouds at the end of the horizon point to a hard rain. Let us open our eyes.

Star Trek

Star Trek is now racism. Yo folks, we cannot make this story up. It is just too crazy insane. Uhura is said to be a secretary and people who watch the series... frankly, they are bigots for some reason. Maybe, it is because they discriminate against weird aliens that are green. Gotta love those social justice key board warriors.

AI

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are in a zoom. AI is in a boom, but there is still a lot of room. Hey, the water is fine and it is time to jump in.

cars

A lot of cars are going away. Blame our on going economic crisis. Yeah, people do not have a much money. That is probably just one reason. Hey, we will certainly miss those cars. Frankly, there is a lot that we will miss.

face rec

I do not like face rec. Yeah, facial recognition steals from us.  There is so much that gives life meaning. Sadly, a lot of it is gone.

Retail sales

Retail sales fall short of forecast due to poor holiday season. Folks, this is an ominous omen. It should not surprise us.

rain or snow

People in the west are getting heavy rain or snow. Frankly, this negative news is worrisome. I do hope that conditions can improve.

newspaper

Do you still remember the old newspaper? Well, we still read news. However, it does not come in paper no more. Oh yes, we have the digital version now. Folks, it is easier to move electrons along a copper wire.

AI

AI will hit the wall soon. That does not surprise me. Face Book says it will employ AI to do content moderation and other common uses. Honestly, at this stage in our game... like we really do need to learn a lot more. Machine Intelligence is in its infancy now.

memes

Decade of memes is upon us. Most are not funny, but some are. Also, let me add, some are quite cruel or mean. Let us try to be nicer.

5G

Apple embraces 5G now. That is awesome news. Glad that we can surf at high speed on the information super max express way. Certainly, we still remember previous um 3G and 2G even. Folks, those technologies were slow to the max.

Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday will have record sales it seems. After all, customers are flocking to the amazing internet to save some coins. Yeah, that is how it can seem. Frankly, I believe that we are in an economic crisis. Do hope that we can avoid entering into a massive recession.

Farmer

OK, so here is a new school farmer that makes more money... being on youtube than from growing crops. This is the new world that we are now in. Hard to explain just how it works, but basically, to me, it makes no sense. After all, he needs to get ready to appear... like in front of a camera. Let me add that editing all your videos is time-consuming.
