My Thoughts

The world is full of strange things.

Trump meeting privately with Putin is a bad idea. No official record? Why? Why not have an official record for history and keep it private for some time. What could he possibly want to say that we can’t know? It stinks.

The 12 Russians—indicted today—hacked the DNC & the Hillary Clinton campaign. They stole emails and used Wikileaks as a cut-out to release them. Trump advisors including Trump Jr. & Roger Stone were communicating w/ Wikileaks. This is not a Witch Hunt. It’s a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.

US Tech Workers

Your companies this you are expensive, underserving and expendable.

Fix H1-B law so companies must seek and hire US workers.

4 things our government can do about gun violence

1. Temporary 6 month ban on assault style weapons effective immediately.

2. Universal background checks. No exceptions.

3. Terrorist watch list ban. Can't fly on a plane you can't buy a gun.

4. Ban all assault style weapons permanently.

How can anyone not find this disturbing? This is the most powerful position in the history of this world and we somehow should not be concerned about this sort of behavior. Trump’s die hard supporters talk about “haters” as if one either must love and worship this man or not. 

Let me point out that this isn’t personal. I believe that we not only have the right to speak out but we have an obligation to so do. We have a duty to our country to say something even if we are the only ones saying it.

Artificial intelligence software is likely to be the most disruptive force in technology in the coming decade and companies that embrace AI may get a competitive edge while those that don’t risk extinction.

AI is nascent, but the pace of innovation and disruptive potential of startups will accelerate as computing costs shrink and machine-learning algorithms advance. The ability to self-learn by processing data may spur demand among consumers and enterprises alike.

Cloud computing and machine-learning algorithms have fueled the jump in AI, keeping costs in check while helping applications interpret an ever-growing mountain of data. The tools can process an enormous volume of data, run self-learning algorithms and suggest ways that companies can better understand their customers and boost return on investment.

And as interest has accelerated, investments have followed.

In the coming years, all software applications could feature embedded artificial intelligence. Early examples include Google Photos, messaging chatbots, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and IBM Watson. Regular apps will struggle to survive due to the productivity differential of AI-integrated software.

Greater adoption of AI will also add another layer of disruption to the disruptors, as the business models of companies such as Uber, Airbnb and Netflix adapt.

The first disruptive spasms were driven by greater use of smartphones and the cloud; the next will be caused by AI, with cloud-based companies at the forefront. Agility provided by the cloud allows these companies to change products and services much more quickly than legacy rivals.
