Who creates better memes—humans or AI?

/

Researchers in the EU found:

  • When humans got help from an AI, there were more ideas produced with less work, but the quality wasn’t better.  

  • AI memes did better than human-only collaborative creations though the top-performing memes were human-created

The researchers concluded: “These findings highlight the complexities of human-AI collaboration in creative tasks. While AI can boost productivity and create content that appeals to a broad audience, human creativity remains crucial for content that connects on a deeper level.”

Imagineering

/

Imagine yourself as reaching into your mind and one by one removing your worries. A small child possesses an imaginative skill superior to that of adults. A child responds to the game of kissing away a hurt or throwing away a fear. This simple process works for the child because in his mind he believes that that is actually the end of it. The dramatic act is a fact for him and so it proves to be the end of the matter. Visualize your fears being drained out of your mind and the visualization will in due course be actualized.  

Imagineation is a source of fear, but imagination may also be the cure of fear. “Imagineering” is the use of mental images to build factual results, and it is an astonishingly effective procedure. However, it is not enough to empty the mind, for the mind will not long remain empty. It must be occupied by something.  It cannot continue in a stat of vacuum. Therefore, upon emptying the mind, practice refilling it. Fill it with thought of faith, hope, courage, expectancy.

A half-dozen times each day crowd your mind with such thoughts as those until the mind is overflowing with them. In due course these thoughts of faith will crowd out worry. Day by day, as you fill your mind with faith, there will ultimately be no room left for fear.  

Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Positive Thinking

Why Most Companies Shouldn’t Have an AI Strategy

/

Studies show that most organizations are immature when it comes to AI. By that, I mean that throughout the ranks—from the top executives through the rank and file—there is little knowledge of, and experience with, AI and its capabilities, and a reluctance to embrace data-assisted decision-making. All of this will mean any AI strategy will be misguided and inexecutable.  If you are the leadership team and you aren’t familiar with AI, how are you going to build a strategy for AI? You can’t. -Wall Street Journal

Lax AI Security in Schools

/

The implementation of AI surveillance tools has surged since the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent investigation revealed that reporters from The Seattle Times and Associated Press inadvertently accessed nearly 3,500 sensitive student documents due to inadequate security measures surrounding the district's surveillance technology. These documents included personal writings about depression, bullying, and even LGBTQ+ struggles — information that should have remained confidential. -Read more at Mic

Underlying Emptiness

/

Think of the person (who) loses a job or a girlfriend and then finds himself in despair. The real cause of the despair is not the man’s loss of the job or the girlfriend. What the loss of the job or girlfriend really reveal is that the person was in despair all along, that his identity was built on something too fragile to be the basis of selfhood. When this fragile basis for identity is shattered, the self’s underlying emptiness was revealed.

C. Stephen Evans, Kierkegaard: An Introduction

AI Definitions: Convolutional neural networks

/

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs or ConvNet) – These deep learning artificial neural networks, often used in computer vision for object recognition, are trained on thousands of images—and even then, they often fail when they encounter the same objects under new lighting conditions or from a different angle. CNNs were first introduced in 1989 by NYU professor Yann LeCun and have been used with autonomous vehicles and security camera systems.

The Paradox of Emotions

/

CS Lewis wrote, “A desire (or emotion) is turned not to itself but to its object. Not only that, but it owes all its character to its object. It is the object which makes the desire harsh or sweet, coarse or choice, ‘high’ or ‘low.’ It is the object that makes the desire itself desirable or hateful.”

In other words, if you want to love your wife then concentrate, not on love, but on her. Likewise, if you wish more faith in God, do not concentrate on faith. Focus on God. 

Stephen Goforth
