Using AI Against AI

 

WHO KNEW?

Chess. Checkers. Chinese Checkers. Judo. AI.

My Dad taught me to play chess when I was 11 years old.
With no one to play with, it was a skill that went fallow.

When the Fischer-Spassky Match went viral, I was a
Freshman at The Hall. All my friends brought in
Chess sets. At first, I beat them all. Then they
read books on Chess, and I couldn't win a match.

I prefer Checkers to Chess. And Chinese Checkers to
Checkers. 

In Chess: You kill or capture your opponent's
pieces. 

In Chinese Checkers, you move your pieces from
one side of the board to the other. 

Peace. Victory. And no bloodshed.

Now I play Scrabble. Against a computer. What a leap
forward for me. 

Many times I would play the letters I had, 
not the letters I wish I had. 

Hence, I might play, "jaconet".

The word is playable. Who knew? I took a guess with the
letters I had. My opponent, the computer, confirmed the
word. Something not possible with the old board & tile game.
I used my opponent's strength against them. 

The principles of Judo. The Gentle Way....& using your opponent's force to defeat him. The way I use the computer's knowledge against it. 

I seldom lose at Online Scrabble, racking up high scores.

Thank you AI for providing the victory against you.

Best wishes,

Slim.

Have Your AI Call My AI

My Take on AI

My AI can talk to you.

Your AI can talk to my AI.

To paraphrase David Lee Roth in a Video.

"If there's any conversation, we don't have to get involved."

This entire paradigm seems pointless.

While AI are taking to each other, what do we do?

Do all the things we couldn't do if we had a conversation?

But why do all those things if AI can do it for us?

You may not know this, but at this very moment, AI is

painting pictures for me, studying physics for me,

Writing a thesis for me, Writing, directing, producing,

and marketing the movie I wanted to make but never did.

Now? There's no reason for me to do it. AI can do it for me.

From my Blog 31 August 2011

Don't "Get Real". Get Virtual.

"I have a Twitter account, a Facebook account, a Linkedin account, a SlideShare account and a Blog. Finally, I feel like a virtual person. For a while, I didn't think I was going to make it." -- Slim Fairview

"We are the architects of our own destruction." Slim Fairview

My how things have changed.

Still, I must ask. "What's the point?"

Best wishes,

Slim.

The Future is a Thing of the Past

"Nostalgia is not remembering how things were.  Nostalgia is remembering how we thought things were going to be."  Slim Fairview

Everything from the 1964 World's Fair to the Politicians, the Pundits, and the Lifestyle Gurus and Spinmeisters, nothing has ever been much more than an infomercial. The League of Nations did nothing to prevent WWII.

Everything that the Government and NGOs have tried to make things better has made things worse. And now we have problems we didn't have until we had solutions for them.

"You can't stop the arrival of History. You can only delay it.  History is coming.  However, the longer we delay the arrival of History, the better our chances of survival."

"Within the Fruits of Our Democracy lie the Seeds of Our Destruction."

Case in Point:  "China will succeed if China does as we did and not as we say."

"We are the architects of our own destruction."

Best wishes,

Bob

You Interrogate Suspects: You Interview Witnesses

However, if you ask the question, then interrupt the answer, that is obstructive.

And "How do you know" is argumentative at best. A throwback to the Golden-Plated days of daytime talk show television

Some people ask questions seeking information.
Other people ask questions so they can interrupt, contradict, argue, & pretend they're right.

Witness the news style infotainment programmes. These, one step above those golden-plated days of daytime talk show television. The ones where people interrupt others and say, "please allow me to finish." And notice: the ones who say, "please let me finish," never do.

You give trivial complaints to rookies & interns. That is too obvious to anyone involved in serious issues. One successful bit of litigation arose from the fact that the first attorney I spoke to had worn a suit without a jacket and had a crease in his collar. I guessed that they treated the issue as trivial. But when they were served, the lawyers from two top law firms were engaged.

On "The Talk", Dr. Phil was asked "how can you tell if someone is lying. He said, because they will say, "To tell you the truth" or "to be completely honest...." But I disagree. That only means the person is irritated by the person who thinks he's going to get the answer he wants by repeating the question ad lunacy [sic]

How do you know when someone is lying?  
[Redacted] Strategy is not discoverable.

To emphasise, I will quote the most eloquent of all Presidential Orators: Lyndon B. Johnson, who said, "I ain't never learned nothing talking."

SVP: Yes? No? Agree? Disagree? And, Why? I would appreciate some feedback from professionals in the field. Thank you, S.

Sincerest regards,

PS. After a report to the "City Inspector" who documented
the incident, I received word of impending "repairs". That
however, was the modus operandi vis-a-vis a prior incident cited as part of their strategy. History repeats itself. Regards, Slim.

Solving Tomorrow's Problems with Yesterday's Solutions

 

My Great Grandfather, Fair Slimview, owned an upscale buggy whip factory. [A fictive device I created for today's observation.]

When the Motor Car was invented, his business began to fail. So he made drastic changes. He summoned his employees to make an announcement.

"With people switching to the Motor Car, running an upscale buggy whip factory is no longer viable. Therefore, I've invested in new equipment. From now on, we will manufacture mass market buggy whips. When folks see how cheap they are, they'll flock back to the donkey wagon showrooms and we'll be back in business

Now, I'm sure my distinguished LinkedIn colleague, Paulette Dale, PH.D can explain the fallacy of logic in Pap-pap Slimview's thinking. The only logical fallacies I know come from Google

Nonetheless, today we are trying to solve problems with yesterday's solutions. The forward thinkers are trying to solve tomorrow's problems with today's solutions. We simply don't get it. We need to rethink the way we rethink the problems and solutions to get anywhere.

Case in point, China will succeed if China does as we did, not as we say.  China is using our strategy against us.

We will fail if we do as people tell us to do and not as we did.
