My son Matthew had business in his job for Oracle, so I tagged along with him to Paris and shared his hotel room. While he attended meetings all day, I rode my bike around France. He went with me a couple of days and acted as my interpreter (he served his Latter-day Saint mission in Belgium and France). On one of my jaunts, I looked for a present to bring back to the states for my wife and…viola!…I found a really cool (well, there are other adjectives that might describe the container) bottle of Jean Claude Gautier perfume (see back row, middle). I liked the smell and <i>really </i>liked that bottle. The rest is history.<p></p><p>Every birthday and Christmas since, I've given my wife some Jean Claude Gautier perfume. She only saved the unique bottles, as she's gone through about one a year (Did I tell you she is quite frugle?). Here's the collection, so far. The latest is in ther front row, third from the left (you can see the rest are empty).</p><p>I highly recommend you check out these bottles for the upcoming Christmas gift that will…be…uh…ooohed and aaahed over. Of course, your kids are going to go, "Woah Daddy!"</p><p>By the way, WoahDaddy.com is available (as of 11/13/2023 at 3:19pm MST), if you have a hankering to start your own gift business.</p><p>Selah!</p><p><br /></p>Destroying Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17574489931552397250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855112539058789634.post-86714653416664272452023-11-03T13:53:00.001-06:002023-11-03T13:53:21.776-06:00Hacking Boring Meetings At Nap Time<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Mk2iRd44CffHPst-QcCpKqb3R_ao6mAXMz85YqYzbO_GmwI4oJWXEL1WBtIfxVE0XTrXyt3cWzKBssb7YYhh268sQNWNMbRil-3bZBXWhdAkIVwaWNYfGzfzII7qOfLuIbMLBlqcTQ0UXw49TJJmDH2Q6XHsG0t7WUx5rNBW3gL_Q4BjjIyBEbdwcuLT/s2739/HoloGlasses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1503" data-original-width="2739" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Mk2iRd44CffHPst-QcCpKqb3R_ao6mAXMz85YqYzbO_GmwI4oJWXEL1WBtIfxVE0XTrXyt3cWzKBssb7YYhh268sQNWNMbRil-3bZBXWhdAkIVwaWNYfGzfzII7qOfLuIbMLBlqcTQ0UXw49TJJmDH2Q6XHsG0t7WUx5rNBW3gL_Q4BjjIyBEbdwcuLT/w354-h195/HoloGlasses.jpg" width="354" /></a></div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><b><i>Holographic Snoozing Glasses</i></b></div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">How to get in a few quick winks at boring meetings?

I looked at the DOD's "ETHICVAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" framework. My net-net: <b><i>What a bunch of unadulyterated crap!</i></b></p><p>Okay, I'm being presumptuous here (Larry, forgive me if I misstate your view), but back in the mid-1980s my #2 son and I put a for-sale-by-owner sign on the Informix HQ building. Larry then used the slide in Hawaii at the Oracle Million Dollar Club sales meeting. I am paraphrasing that talk to project my own attitude toward AI ethics. The next time I chat with Larry, I'll ask him if this is his view also:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>AI Ethics in Regard to Scammers & Crooks</i></b></p></blockquote><blockquote><p>I want my AI's attack on scammers and crooks to make the monsters in the first <i style="font-weight: bold;">Alien</i> movie look like mildly incontintent house pets. My AI will take away everything they own. It will put them out of business and bulldoze their homes. Then it'll salt the earth. Finally, it'll go after their families. How's that for AI ethics?</p></blockquote><p>We all get multiple emails every day saying our passwords are expired and our accounts are about to be closed. Or some hacker has taken over our system, captured pictures of us amusing ourselves watching porn, and demands $2,000 sent to a Bitcoin wallet. Phone calls from "Microsoft support" by an ESL (from India) saying they've discovered a virus on our computer and they want to help us fix it. Etcetera. </p><p>I can't think of a more ethical use of AI than to "end life on Earth as they know it" for these guys.

For the past few years I've been playing with a personal AI assistant for situational awareness. It would scan all the social media accounts I have for pending risks to me and my family. The reason I felt there was a business for an AI assistant located on desktops and phones is that the social networks can't shut you down. If a cloud service were to offer situational awareness, the Metas/Twitter/Google/TikToks of the world would easily shut them down. So many queries from one or two cloud URLs could be easily shut off. But such queries coming from individual accounts would slip by. Cool, eh? I thought so.</p><p>I've been playing with GPT's ChatAI to compare with my own überGenius program and got a rude awakening. Conclusion: I can kiss my dreams of being a multi-billionaire goodbye!</p><p>Suppose, for example that I wanted to see what infectious diseases are coming my way. I'd have my AI simply look at Web queries about infectious diseases state by state, and see what little bugs are riding in on the California jet stream or via airplane from the East Coast population centers.

But read between the lines:</p><p><span face="Arimo, Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16.8px;"></span></p><blockquote>One of the big problems with hydrogen as a green fuel is that it is not green under current production methods. Nearly all industrial hydrogen gas is extracted from natural gas, a process which requires energy, usually from fossil fuels, and one which produces further greenhouse gasses as a byproduct. While the prospect of electrolyzing hydrogen from water using renewable energy is appealing, the approach has yet to be scaled.</blockquote><p>What a bunch of unadulterated crap. The politicians are being well and truly bought off by the battery investors. There is too much capital invested to watch it thrown away. Give me a Tesla solar-panel roof on my home and a hydrogen compressor to pack cracked water into hydrogen and oxygen, and I'll get a cheap retrofit for my internal combustion engine.

She yelped in pain as she tried to walk, and I faced putting her down to end her misery. So I called my sports chiropractor (a few thousand miles a year on my bike made him my personal lifesaver) and asked if he'd had any success with animals. Surprisingly, he had.

He did miracles. Chenoa walked immediately. In four subsequent visits, she's again behaving like a little puppy, running around and going for half-mile walks with me. Turns out, this breed (a Bichon-Shih Tzu mix) is prone to late-life spine problems. </span></span></p><p><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't know how much longer I'll have my little buddy, but I thank both my supportive vet and a gifted chiro for adding to my time with Chenoa.

My own answer to that question is to play the <i style="font-weight: bold;">Hollywood Stock Exchange</i> every day. You can join free, and they give you $2 million in funny money, with which you bet on which movies will win and which will lose. Several years ago I started playing this game, and as of today my $2 million has turned into $500,242,065.38.<p></p><p>Have I guess wrong a few times? Sure. COVID hit and betting on theatre box office receipts went into the toilet. But bless Tom Cruise and <i style="font-weight: bold;">Top Gun Maverick</i> for delaying their theatrical release and refusing to go to HBO. I made $30 million in the last two weeks just on Mr. Cruise, who thanked theatre goers for seeing his movie in theaters.</p><p>Oh yeah. I'm betting big on <i style="font-weight: bold;">Elvis</i> which is about to open.</p><p>What have I learned? Most importantly, my novel-writing instincts are still…heh heh…on the money. My first novel, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Destroying Angel</i>, would make a blockbuster movie. So would my second novel, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Daddy's Little Felons</i>. Check you the book links to the left. You can get Kindle versions for less than $3. And my newly written novel (for which I'm still trying to find a literary agent), <i style="font-weight: bold;">The Last Will and Testament of Harley Davidson…and His Dog</i>, IMHO will be a killer property for a studio that wants leading edge science fiction to rock the world. </p><p>Yeah, all of us self-proclaimed ad geniuses are closet novelists. One of these days I'll crack…THE HOLLYWOOD CODE. Unless I run out of time and get turned into a hood ornament on a semi truck as I ride my bicycle the several thousand miles a year going to and from my mountain home in The Pirate Cottage.</p><p>Best to you all.</p><p>Rick Bennett</p><p>aka The Destroying Angel</p><p><br /></p><p>#tomcruise #hollywood #movies #hackingthemasses</p>Destroying Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17574489931552397250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855112539058789634.post-27955325236612725562022-05-02T08:23:00.004-06:002022-05-02T08:23:37.627-06:00Want To Have Some Fun With A Hacker?<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi50kVgLWCiWqP1hlKHV4w-rZFCj-hrSekl0xscp_jOGO9oxJwv9oMsPfhzpGbKCaBLyN-8RBPHfJkVjoR9Y_ylTl6v4k70X8EKGoPdeQ6iTnpb5LNsZr-Vi4DG15b4k-yBWnZQYfzsA2kmeajjZgjpzs1kuVosool5X-xF5aVubJ_32g6OaFGz4IPPpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="468" data-original-width="800" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi50kVgLWCiWqP1hlKHV4w-rZFCj-hrSekl0xscp_jOGO9oxJwv9oMsPfhzpGbKCaBLyN-8RBPHfJkVjoR9Y_ylTl6v4k70X8EKGoPdeQ6iTnpb5LNsZr-Vi4DG15b4k-yBWnZQYfzsA2kmeajjZgjpzs1kuVosool5X-xF5aVubJ_32g6OaFGz4IPPpg=w475-h277" width="475" /></a></div><br /> I honestly can't believe the email I just got from richardprycewizard2016@gmail.com that offers hacking services.
