Is AI dangerous?

Is AI really dangerous?Every time some new tech comes along, there’s always “that guy”… You know, the one who warns you that it’s gonna make children dumb, we should all run for the hills, and so on.

So, when it comes to AI, I really don’t want to sound like that guy.

BUT… Lately I’ve seen a lot of people using current AI in a dangerous way

And I’m not the only noticing big problems…

The truth is, AI can be pretty useful – but you have to know how to use it, and more importantly how NOT to use it.

The Truth about Quantum Computing

The TRUTH about Quantum ComputersWe hear a lot about quantum computers these days. They’re supposed to work almost like magic.

We’re even told to choose a certain VPN because they’re “quantum proof”!

The trouble is, even most experts agree we’re not ‘there’ yet. Far from being an impending breakthrough, quantum computing is still quite experimental – but you’d never know it from reading the stories in the news.

On the plus side, it just so happens that quantum computers raise fundamental questions about the very nature of reality! Which is nice.

AI, Green Energy, & The Science Problem

AI, Fusion, and The Science ProblemWhile most people were distracted by China’s new flavors of AI, something even bigger was happening.

China’s EAST experimental fusion reactor ran at temps 6X hotter than sun’s core for almost 18 whole minutes, doubling its previous record.

Well, who cares??

You do! More people are realizing that current “Green Energy” push isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and fusion reactors could provide nearly infinite energy with no radioactive waste.

But the most interesting thing is the curious link between AI and fusion, and what it says about technology itself…

The biggest problem with batteries

Enegon Battery ScamI recently bought new Enegon batteries for the DSLR cam I use to make videos.

Unfortunately, one of them died on me the first time I used it.

This was particularly surprising given that the batteries got very good reviews on Amazon.

So, I decided to open up the dead battery…

I was NOT happy with what I found inside!!

Can you upgrade to multigig Ethernet?

It’s time to upgrade your Ethernet! New multigig Ethernet switches that run at 2.5 Gbps are now much cheaper to buy. So the only question left is: Will your Ethernet cables actually work at multigig speeds? Well, theoretically, if they’re at least Cat 5e, they SHOULD be fine… But alas, not all cables are created equal. Worse yet, popular flat Ethernet cables are super-handy, but some of them look and feel pretty darn cheap. So which ones will ACTUALLY work?? Let’s find out…

Not your typical 5G study…

5G study is not so simpleA few months ago, a new study of the effects of 5G on rats was released.

At first glance, the study appears to confirm that there’s nothing to see here.

But a more careful read reveals it’s not so simple.

And now, the authors of the study announced that the plot thickens…

Little by little, we’re getting there!
