IBM Watson gets the answer it wants from its survey, if IBM can “AI index” its own web and Internet footprint, it might be in the game

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies July 30, 2023

IBM Watson @IBMWatson Jul 13 Three out of four CEOs agree – the organization with the most advanced generative #AI will have a competitive advantage. Kareem Yusuf, SVP Product Management & Growth, shares how IBM is ready to empower all businesses in the age of AI with #watsonx: https://ibm.co/46JKoHx https://pic.twitter.com/q5sXv119dN Replying to @IBMWatson “Generative AI”

Richard Chats with OpenAI 4.0 about visiting the sun and Newtonian gravitational detector arrays and sensors

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal July 29, 2023

Richard: From the photosphere out, what is the mass of the solar atmosphere in earth masses? OpenAI Chat GPT Plus 4.0: As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, I don’t have precise information on the total mass of the solar atmosphere (including the chromosphere, the transition region, and the corona) in Earth masses.

Plasma Channel Ion Thrust suggestions and ideas

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods July 29, 2023

Plasma Channel: Designing A Next-Gen Ionic Thruster! (For Flight) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrEBoPYS4ns The stagnation pressure is (1/2) * AirDensity*Velocity^2. And the power goes as the cube of the velocity. So using velocity increments is not exactly the best measure. At least get yourself a spreadsheet or HTML/Javascript and have it keep track of the velocity, squared velocity,

Robert Lull Forward – papers, patents, science fiction, work, family, life and hopes

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Gravitational Engineering July 28, 2023

http://libarchstor2.uah.edu/digitalcollections/contact/ I was looking for papers by Robert Lull Forward (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Forward) There is a link to “Robert L. Forward Collection, The University of Alabama in Huntsville Archives and Special Collections” but the link is broken. Do you know if anyone has tried to organize all his papers? There are a lot at “Since 1987, Robert

Richard Chats with OpenAI 4.0 about the Internet Foundation, policies goals and trying to do the right thing

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Web Policies Internet Polices July 28, 2023

The people who wrote the wrapper for GPT 4.0 must have very unique personalities.  But there seem to be different voices. Since NONE of what GPT says is traceable, we will never know, and cannot trust anything that OpenAI does or says. Duplication in the internet and in human global society is horrific. It hurts

Konrad Lehnert @Berkekey about MEMS gravimeters and other very sensitive accelerometers focused on ‘gravitational’ sources

Richard K Collins Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal July 28, 2023

Physics @Berkekey: Oct 13 Colloquium: Konrad Lehnert at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbqTWe1qBbY Konrad Lehnert, Three axis MEMs gravimeters can be made sensitive enough to measure precisely the vector tidal sun moon signal that is the main part (about 98.5%) of the signal at a superconducting gravimeters station. Using the JPL ephemeris this is just the sun’s acceleration at the

Richard Chats with OpenAI GPT 4.0 about the sun’s energy, AIs visiting stars, sentient AIs and Dana’s Story

If you decide to read Dana’s Story you can find it at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RN1C2W6  As I say, it is a hard read.  I did not print books 2 and 3 where Brian, the first sentient AI, is involved. I have copies online and I recorded all three books in my own voice, but those are just in
