Artificial Intelligence Vs, Politicians

Consumer Electronics were on display in Las Vegas recently.Nvidia announced deals with Volkswagen and Uber to develop self driving cabs and cars.Lets cut to it. If I'm going to be driven around Bay Area traffic by a self driving car why not replace my politicians with non human AI programed computers?If I trust no one in the front seat certainly I would trust an AI non human in Sacramento or D.C. more than the clowns and perverts and morons that have been dished up as leaders of our republic.The non human AI computer would be programmed By IBM's Watson Division. Advice. Next election write in Non human AI computer for any office available on the ballot.

Self Driving Cars: Alcoa, Google, Lyft, Apple, Uber, GM, Ford

It looks like Apple has entered the self driving car race. Yesterday Apple.Car was added to Apple's domain name lexicon.Apple joins Google, Lyft, Uber, GM, Ford, etc. as eager providers to "must have" choices for consumers.The tech group speaks to what they will be their value added to this care free driving experience. What could possibly go wrong? But who will build the platform?Tech equipped is one thing. But The car still needs wheels and a wrap around metal sheet to keep rain out and stop other cars and tech equipped pedestrians from walking into the cars space. Alcoa has a patented process called Micromill. Ford now uses it to reduce weight in its vehicles to meet government mileage goals. The Micromill processed aluminum is not only lighter than steel but more durable.The same enhanced aluminum was used in combat vehicles in Iraq. Bay Area driving isn't as dangerous as driving any where in Iraq.Let the gadget gods fight it out. They still have to come propeller hat in hand to Alcoa's engineering and metal working shop. Google will offer insurance with its entry.That's the business they really want to get a foothold. Why? Look what the insurance business did for Warren Buffett.Google's eco friendly motto will parlay no towing fees with crashed/damaged self driving aluminum cars. Just leave the car. The homeless will remove it in shopping carts for return fees.

Retail Sales Slow Because Of Sharing Community

Everyone is hoping for growth. The real hopers are the retail outlets who have much debt. But with the phenomenon of "sharing community" who will buy and who will just share or buy second hand?How many families of taxi drivers will spend less because of Uber etc?Why buy a car when you can hail Lyft or Sidecar etc? Want clothes and aren't fussy? Check out Ebay or Craigslist.Commerce will still exist. But how much will be barter? Why buy a home? Share a roof with other renters.Why pay for government its too expensive?Barter and avoid paper trail to taxation.

Genghis Khan Killer App : Sharing Community

Genghis Khan a.k.a. Temujin (1162-1227)together with his Mongol hoard controlled China, Asia and parts of Eastern Europe. He was in the east what the Romans were in the West. He killed like the Romans killed. But the Romans left a culture behind including magnificent architecture.The Great Khan left only carnage. Some was buried. Most rotted. Genghis Khan led a mass of poor. They had nothing . That was an asset. They had nothing to lose. So like locusts they spread and migrated out to neighbors near and far. They took and killed. They were akin to day labor. But they didn't ask for jobs. They just took living day by day.Genghis Khan was the leader of this sharing community.Todays 21st century middle class is under a similar pressure of need to find a living fro day to day as did the Mongol hoard. With the internet as their quasi emperor opportunity are every where. Mandrins like airbnb, Lyft, Alibaba, Uber and others offer platforms to auction excess personal property to anyone for hire/rent.Unlike the Mongols the modern day hoard use money as the medium of exchange. But that could default into a barter if someone could keep score of products for barter.A true cashless society would emerge. Freedom from large parts of government intrusion could be eliminated.
