I hope some day AI will be incorporated into a podcast player to be able to know the difference between an add and the podcast and automatically skip all adds. Finally, there would be a good use for AI :)

If everyone stopped believing in religion (any and all religions), all these religious leaders would lose their power.

Project yourself 20 years into the future. Imagine yourself saying this to present day you. Then act on that advice. Much of these suggestions can apply to anyone at almost any age.

This is where we could use a browser plug in that uses AI to learn what an ad is and skip it for us. Now we just need someone to start working on it.

Next they will be using your web cam to take pictures of you because … reasons. Then they will turn on your mic and record so that if you verbalize thoughts that don’t make it to your computer screen you can recall those too. Where does it end? I don’t want to know.

Here is information about it

Yes. You listen to music without knowing anything about who wrote it and you feel something. That feeling has nothing to do with the composer or performer. Now if you find out the composer/performer is a “bad” person, I would recommend not giving them any money that could contribute to them spreading their “bad stuff”. I’d still enjoy the music because your enjoyment isn’t furthering their bad agenda.

Check out CoreCtrl It can control CPU and GPU fans and has lots of options.

Lobbying and lobbyist groups.
