Have you noticed how good Google translate has gotten? They are on
the cutting edge of AI (Artificial Intelligence) with some of their
recent developments. I never thought that I'd see translation or
voice recognition as good as it is now. We know that self driving
cars are already on the doorstep. I wonder what's next?

The merge of Virtual Reality with AI


My daughter gave me one of those "Google Home" things for Christmas.
I downloaded and installed the app for it and it works. Problem is, I
haven't a clue what the hell I am going to do with it.

You could ask what the difference is between a fan and a follower of
jesus...considering the season...


I got curious as to how all this stuff works and dug into it a bit.
Almost wished I hadn't. I didn't know this but Google keeps a record
of *everything* you use your cell phone for ... at least the Android
powered phones. In an obscure menu on my phone I found a "My
Activity" log. It had records, including some audio files of voice
mails and of my voice using the "Ok, Google" feature of everything I
searched for, websites visited, contacts, how many times I called
someone, .... even how many times I used "PitchLite" .. a guitar tuner
app. I found a way to start deleting them only to discover the record
files dated back to *July 4th*. I already knew that Google sells
marketing data to companies that indicate your interests, but I had no
idea how extensive and complete the records they keep were. Others do
this ... Amazon for example ... and the next thing you know you are
getting specific and directed ads in your Facebook newsfeed. I don't
think I like having so much information being shared ... usually
without your knowledge. I found a way to opt out of the Amazon
reporting and for Facebook using these directed marketing ads, but I
suspect it's only the tip of the iceberg.
