Meltdown

Obviously at one level the prompt is an argument and nothing more. Many readers would not see beyond it. This prompt is also in line with the trend of tailoring discussions and conversation toward 'fixed' outcomes -- I won, you lost. In terms of novelty and imagination, the prompt pleased this author. If the author did not acknowledge his own immediate gratification, it would be dishonest. But it is a bit more. Much more is revealed by this experiment and test. Yes, an experiment and test. AI chat-bots have reasoning abilities and are portrayed as competent to perform complex tasks. In order to test AI chat-bot abilities to respond and reason, three of them were given roughly similar prompts-- Microsoft's Co-pilot, Open AI's GPT-4o, and Google's Gemini. According to numerous independent evaluations, they are the best of the lot. I intend to prompt Anthropic also, but you can do that as well. Here is the prompt : Proposition: Human activity has accelerated and contri...

A 90-day tariff pause that does not apply to China has been announced. This pause acting as a window is to reorganise and redeploy America's global/international financial  operations and reallocate resources? An operation that also avoids and excludes China, possible or desirable? This post will zoom out to the processes and dynamics that create the overall(big?) picture rather than focusing on how tariffs affect particular industries, sectors, or geographical areas. Global trade flows and national deficits are significant indicators and crucial measures to gauge, track and evaluate our movement in this direction. These metrics and indicators demonstrate how, over many years, domestic growth, regional cooperation, and globalization became intertwined. It is and has been a complicated process based on centuries of integration, treaties, trade routes, and established networks. The idea and goal was to lead to a more inter-dependent, prosperous, secure and peaceful order. Simultaneo...

The word artificial contains art, in fact it begins with art. And these days it is preceding the word intelligence. Is this a signal to a new world and order, the priority of artificial before intelligence? The virtual world has extended its reach inside the real world and now AI has arrived. It is the BUZZ not a buzzword, a node emanating a series of ripples and a source of it. And I am left to wander more and figure less what the deal is? All the signs say it is BIG. So, I begin by asking and exploring. What if, my queries and doubts appear inane, mundane or refuse to take audible and verbal forms. Can AI help? Artificial science or it is an art? An engineering marvel or closer to craftsmanship associated with art. What is clear is that for the time being, the future and AI have been interwoven and tied together. Artificial intelligence will throw the gates of ‘free intelligence’ open in future, while you will be billed for word, excel and Onenote. And Open AI will seamlessly integra...
