My tacit admission that Ted Williams is the man

1. I have considered the possiblity of AI.

For instance I was writing AI routines for vision recognition systems, back at the software place.

Here is the thing, I can think of many ways to make a learning system, and once you make a learning system, then everything else gets fixed with just experience.

Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.
from The Humanity of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan



So I always wondered why computer games did not have better AI.


Basically if you formulated a neural networked system, with fuzzy logic peramiters, not binary, and had a way to improve its performance by recognizing success, then a system would be easy to create.

Theoretically a computer system could reach the ability to mimic speech, and even create tv shows and movies.

From that you could have it create tailored movies for each individual piped out to different cable boxes based on what you wanted different groups or individuals to see.


Really interesting concept, and matches a Nova winning short story from the 60s where all actors were replaced by robots that changed based on peoples perceptions, also in Fahrenheit 451 book.

But anyways, just a thought.

2. Huh?

3. You were talking about synthesised voice.

they have had that for years, adding to that cgi film, and propaganda becomes pretty easy.

So figured I would post the theoretical attempts of the next step in that concept, also some history channel guys talked about AI on a show last night.

So figured that is what you were talking about.


You showed a synthesized voice, that would be the very simplest version of the longer topic of copying of something real that could be used for many purposes.



Just rambling till beer and travel money and many experiences arrives.

Love it when he scratches and preacher crow smiles.


People aren't understanding that. Getting people to hurt themselves or loved ones by threat, coercion, or deception, is stealing free will, and those that are responsible are those that make them do it by threats of worse or worser. To get the person to do the harm themselves, since the thing making the threats can't do it and is bluffing. Then later they realize the truth, and sometimes are not that happy about it.

4. Yeah, my voice was recorded digitally

But I'm not sure that you can say that it was "synthesised".

That's my real voice.

5. Was on a different thought then.

Side note, the story of Sharon Stone in The Quick and the Dead, where she shoots Hackman, it is Hackman that became her father when changing her life by what he did to her when young.

So she did the same thing twice for different reasons, I find that interesting, maybe a balancing of the equation in some views. Once by threat against someone with little knowledge, once by free choice to correct a situation, and by law in a fair manner. Interesting concept.

Also part of the wrong training of a Morde Sith in the book Sword of Truth.



But just a movie, why I like to post songs and movies.
