Raoul’s Two Cents: July 6, 2023<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

AI for Love and War<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been studying Artificial Intelligence. Although I\u2019m far from being an expert, I think I know my way around. So I volunteered to give a talk on the \u201cPandora\u2019s Box of Artificial Intelligent Art\u201d at the La Habra Art Gallery this July 16. Come on down if you\u2019re interested and available. It might be a bit technical but I hope to give a demo on how you can avail of the Art technology today. Even if AI is above your pay grade, you\u2019ll see what the process is like and you will see how far advanced we\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my research, I was drawn towards stories of the aggressive military stance of the Chinese communist regime — bullying its way closer to global domination. These guys are building war ships, fighter planes, battle ships, submarines and armies at an alarming rate \u2026 most probably for hostile reasons. I was getting discouraged because of the seemingly passive nature of the leaders of the free world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then I chanced to see a video about this kid — Palmer Luckey<\/a>. Surprised I never heard about him before; but from the little I learned so far, I think he\u2019s the next Elon Musk — an entrepreneurial genius who doesn\u2019t fit the mold of the other tech gurus who focus on the niceties of social media and increasing memberships and the number of “likes”. Facebook (ie. Mark Zuckerberg) offered to buy his company Oculus <\/a>a VR (Virtual Reality) hardware\/software startup for $1 Billion but (then) 20 year old Luckey refused. After much “massaging” and time later, FB offered more than double that. Palmer gave in, sold it but soon got fired because he and Zuckerberg didn\u2019t see eye to eye on some issues. So Palmer created a new company Anduril Systems<\/a> (\u201ca defense systems company that builds weapons\u201d). He built and sold drones that attack hostile drones, developed an AI surveillance for the border. And he still has several other products up his sleeve. I think he may be the solution to the heavy Chinese weaponry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t waste your time with a lengthy article. Just go to Youtube<\/a> and search his name and you\u2019ll be impressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world where the aging champions of Silicon Valley have plateaued in creativity, \u201ckids\u201d like Palmer make the future exciting. I\u2019m so thankful that we\u2019ve got someone of his caliber fighting to preserve the free world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TGIF people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
