Dear Friends, Some guys, maybe some guys like Gates, worry that AI will become a destructive force. They worry that AI, gone awry, may destroy Humanity. But do you believe this? Or, do you believe as do I that AI, once it becomes a sentient network, utilizing the connectivity of the Internet, will force Mankind to toe the line, thereby ensuring that conditions remain optimal in order to keep both us and this new AI entity ALIVE?! Just imagine, please, a symbiotic relationship in which AI has taken the upper hand, and the logical upper hand, while irrational and destructive Humanity becomes subservient to the control of this logical higher AI entity. Would this not be good for us all, in the end, just through helping Mankind to avoid complete and utter extinction due to warfare and destruction of the environment? Imagine, if you will, a new world guided and controlled by AI, one in which men and women no longer need to think! These days, we often hear friends discuss the impending time of the SINGULARITY. Yet, these friends have no idea what sort of singularity might be impending. What will it be like in SE Asia, and all over the world, when we finally relinquish free will, and settle for perpetual relaxation and idle pursuits? And, if this happens soon, then what will this mean for the resurgence of Pattaya? Because, when AI takes over the world, then every place in every major city will become a virtual Pattaya. What I am saying here is that, if IT continues its inexorable progress, as it surely will, then, please, just hold on a bit longer, and all will be just as you like it, not too hot, and not too cold, and mostly Goldilocks-like, all the time. Please do not underestimate the rapidity of change presently happening in the IT world, today. Let us not be like Gates who once failed to recognize the importance of the Internet, years ago, and consequently almost lost his company, at a time when it was touch and go, for a while. Instead, let us embrace AI when it finally happens, maybe a few years down the line. AI will be a force for good, and, perhaps, the salvation of Mankind’s continued existence on planet Earth. In addition, if the stuff hits the fan, then…at least….: Would you not rather be a slave to a machine, rather than be a slave to a human tyrant, or slave to the presentday economic system, just selling your days for minimum wage? So much to consider. So little time, before AI …. HAPPENS! When it happens, it will happen insidiously, and none of us will recognize its happening, until its happening is complete. Regards, Globulin Note: Do you fear AI? Note2: Will you embrace AI, and welcome relinquishment of your worldly worries?

One more video from Teach saying FILTHY, and other words. Rachel is a super teacher, in my humble opinion. She has a good mic. She has hot lips, too. But, I am now most interested in the best mic for doing accent reduction work, in real time. My lips are nothing like Rachel's lips. She is a dedicated teacher. Please note: I think the mic is not quite as good as the one used by the psychologist in the video I posted above. But, she is micer to look at...

One more example of an adequate mic: This woman is an excellent teacher of pronunciation and enunciation. She seems to have found one of the best mics, as well. What mic is she using. (Also, if you want to get really turned on, she has some closeups of her lips producing many difficult sounds. But, this topic is not posted in jets; so I will not go further mentioning her luscious teeth and lips, in this case.) Suffice to say, I must buy a dynamite mic for USD150.00, or under. The Seti X, on Amazon reviews, really seems not worth considering.... But, I am no expert. The reason I have posted the video in this comment is just to show an example of the quality I need.... I.e., this quality..or...better.

Does anyone know what kind of mic this guy is using? Seems like a dynamite microphone. I would like to buy the same mic, but I have been unable to identify the brand and model number. (I actually contacted this guy by email, to ask, but he never replied.) Anyone know? (Serious request for info...No Jokes, please. (Or, you can make jokes, but please first provide the brand and model number. Tks.)) This mic is one of the best I have listened to, so far, on YouTube....

Prime, did you say? We will always be TV girls. First, last, and always.

Sorry to resurrect this query, but I am now ready to buy: In conclusion, for USD150.00 or under.... What would be the best microphone for a Voice Coach/Language Coach, La-la-la? Also... Where is the best place to buy a microphone in Thailand? I am not a middling coach. And, therefore, I cannot do with a middling microphone. Thank you, and regards....

Ugly men attract ugly girls like flies to s.. t. Stop complaining, and pay up.

If Man were meant to fly, God would have provided wings.

It's not. You can also get Chromium, free and open-source web browser, if you wish. FIREFOX is substandard, just a browser which was once remarkable for introducing multiple tabs, many years ago, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser) Just use Chrome, from Google: Don't worry about security or anonymity, any longer, because, there is no such animal in our world, today.

Let's clarify: Google does not care what any individual is thinking. Google only cares about what any given small group of people, groups with similar attributes, are thinking, so that Google can predict buying behavior. Also, I am sure that Google can predict that people in my small and well-defined group never had a Mama that could dance like this....

An individual's behavior is never predictable. Let this be understood. It is only that it is possible to predict, with some probability, what the average person might do, in any specific group, given any set of criteria. Computers do not care about any given individual when computers make statistical prognostications. Let this be clear. OK?

Take a look at this band in Pittsburgh, the home of Pitt Uni....one of the best tech schools in the world, or was it Mellon, in Pittsburgh? I forget. It was at Pitt or Mellon that we had the dream of ONE PC Per Child, for something like that, as you will recall. Anyway, we are now moving along, lickety-split, for sure. This Bangles Band, with their cool moves, and their eyes flicking left and right, so cutely, reminds me of my mother, who was born in 1923. The compression of time, in social terms, is a real phenomenon which cannot be denied. Unfortunately, as skirts get shorter, and then longer, they never, ever seem too short. Super Micro Skirts is the only fast fashion of interest to me, and presumably to you, too.

Google, in just a few short years, has already surpassed the feats, by a thousand fold, of building the pyramids. And, in addition, Google did it without resorting to the drinking of ancient Egyptian beer.

ALPHABET has provided the world with the most comprehensive TOOLBOX for learning and collaboration the world has ever known. This is without doubt, true. Google has immensely benefitted both business and academia, alike. So, please pass me another academia nut....

Dear Friends, (Those of my friends who are still Real) Concerning this question: At the moment, this is still a known unknown. As to this question, all I can say is that Google’s YouTube does not feed me what I want to be fed, for sure! Personally, I am interested in viewing science-based lectures of about 45 to 90 minutes in length. And yet, what I usually get fed is cat videos, and also other videos, such as clips about living in a van in America, using a compost toilet, stinking up the van. The IDIOT AI algorithm at Google refuses to acknowledge the fact that I will never live in America, again. And, if I were to live there, again, then it would not be in a van. Also, the idiot Google AI still does not understand that I will NEVER click on a YouTube ad, ever. And, even if I DID click on an ad, then I would not buy anything based on a Google ad. In addition, the main reason I would never buy anything advertised on YouTube is simply because I do not identify with the people who produce videos on YouTube. Would you buy something recommended from an idiot? I mean that, if I were to actually buy something that YouTubers were promoting, then would I not feel even more like a fool than I know I already am? So… This is why I think that Google’s AI has a long way to go. TRULY: Google has some amazing products for assisting students to learn. Chiefly among these products is Google translate, an app which I use about 4 or 5 hours per day, just to help the people I enjoy helping. ========= So then… WHY, if Google AI can read my mind, would Google’s AI keep feeding me agonizing YouTube video clips which just serve to antagonize me and waste the few years of my life which, hopefully, are ahead? Is it that Google’s AI has already taken over ALPHABET Inc, and is trying to, perversely, destroy the last good years of my life? ========= Maybe Google’s AI can read my mind, or knows me well enough, to make me suffer, just because I refuse to fall in line. Maybe, at Google, the AI Project is already ALIVE, and doing its best to destroy my happiness, as well as its parent. In conclusion: Google’s AI has access to all my data, including personal emails, and all my clicking behavior. Google AI, without doubt, is already at the cusp of being able to read my mind, and is becoming more intelligent by the hour. Someday, maybe not in the far future, Google’s AI will get pis_ed off at me, just for not buying what Google wants to sell me…and then… The algorithm will make life for me as difficult as possible, sort of like a spoiled and immature child that does not get what it wishes. Google’s AI is extremely powerful. Yet, we as humans, Homo sapiens, are not intelligent enough, these days, to fully comprehend the motives of Google AI. Obviously, I am not speaking about “conspiracy theories” or “weird science”, here; and I am only mentioning what we know to be true, which is that AI is already a “thing” that is present in our every-day lives. For me, this AI takes the form of having a computer at Google bent upon wasting the rest of my Golden Years… What about you? Are your years, also, being wasted by watching what the AI algorithm at Google offers up to you on YouTube? Regards, Glob Please Note the following reference to Weird Science:

In fact, if anything I have written on this forum rubs anyone the wrong way, something which has been most definitely unintentional, on my part... Then, Jenny said it best for me...when she stated the following:

The culmination of Funk.

SMILE Just one of two reasons I shave every morning is to less look like Peck's Bad Boy...

Just out of casual curiosity: How many times per month do you shave in the mornings before venturing forth?

Maybe you went to the wrong school...

And so, please feel free to call me a Preppy....which I consider to be a term of endearment. And, in return, I will never call anyone here a Towny.

One of the few things I have missed, almost daily and nightly, after joining this forum, is not being able to wear a well-tailored suit, and coordinated ties, à la Pacino, in Scent of a Woman. Yeah, Man.... The Prep School milieu has always suited me well. And, this is really the only thing that I have missed after moving to the Farang Pub.
