A.I. Robotics

First off I just want to say hi to my old friends on here wave

I was reading some comments about artificial intelligence in the forums, and I thought I would blog about it. I want to see what people really think about it. Do you think it's a good thing with having robots with the capacity to think for themselves and be able to walk around us?
The idea of A.I. has been with us for a while, and up until recently, the one man who could put a halt to it was professor Hawkins. I agree with this man as I have for a number of years, have feared that some day in my lifetime, we will have walking talking androids. I'm a big fan of science fiction, but ever since the movie Blade Runner, I knew then, that if we had the capacity to make robots with A.I. that we could be in serious trouble. And when thinking about it, I think that certain sci-fi movies have been warning us about the dangers. There is one movie that I want to see when it comes out, Ex Machina. Check it out on youtube as I think it will be quite a thought provoking movie.
Here is a photo of one of the Japanese Geminoids. Very lifelike with only partial intelligence.
So my questions to you all, do you think we will reach the technology of creating the ultimate A.I. Robot, and do you think it's a good thing?

The reason why

To those that know me here, you would have noticed that I haven't been on as much as usual. These last few months have been tough for me, as I was given bad news that my dad had at first 12 months to live. Then weeks went on and I was told 4 months. The last week I was given the worst news that he had only one week to live. Because he lived far away from me, I had it planned to go and see him when I got my tax back, which is to be in July sometime. But as of Tuesday night, I got a call to tell me of my dad's passing. it hits you in a strange, sad and lonely way, that now knowing that I have no parents now. Although knowing I am not alone, with friends and family, still doesn't change the feeling of loss of a parent. If I can live on with the loss of my mum from eight years ago, I know that I will eventually move on and live my life and be stronger for it.
Just a note to those that still have their parents, don't wait till the last minute, or wait till the next time you see them, be a part of their lives for as much as you can. Nature can be nasty sometimes, and can take them away from you with a blink of an eye.
Will catch up with you all soon. Take care wave sad flower

Stop the bus

Stop the bus, I want to get off. I had found out the other day, that my dad is in hospital with cancer of the spine, (in the T3) and cancer of the lung. Last night i was hit with the bad news, that the doctors have given him 12 months to live. For those that know me, know that my mum passed away a few years ago, and it really does hit you when you hear of terminal position of a parent. he went into surgery this morning to remove the tumor from the spine, and I feel so lost knowing that my dad that I've only known since I was 21, has only a short time to live.
I'm glad that 25 years ago, I took the first step to contact him. He lived with us for a few years, but because of differences between my mum and dad, they could not live with each other. Not long after they separated, for the second time, he moved to the mainland. So I don't see him as often as I'd like. It was only a few months ago, that I was able to see him, even if it was for half n hour. He gave me a woolen jacket that was too big for him before he left, and now I cherish it more than I did then.
These are the moments in our lives that shows us just how mortal we really are. One moment they are here, and the next they are taken away from us.

The void.

Have you ever searched for an object, like for example, a sock? You searched high and low for the damn thing, but you can not find it. Hours later, or longer, you find the sock, and it was in a place that you already had searched. I know this has happened to me many times before. But today, something very odd happened to me while I was at work. Because I work in a hotel, one of my jobs is doing restocking the mini-bar in the rooms. I went into one room, and I swear on my mothers ashes, that it was missing a Pepsi and a Pepsi Max, and when I came back into the room, they were already there. I was only a minute away from the room, and no one went in there apart from me. I felt so confused, but like I said, I swear they were not in there in the first place. In the nine years I have been working there, this has never happened before.
Weird huh?

Healing Music

After reading a blog by Minerva, The Human Energetic Anatomy, I stated that I would blog about my music, in relation to her blog.
I believe that music is such an important thing for every living creature, and when we come to realise just how important it is for us all, we will learn to use it like going to the doctors for a prescription of medicine.
A few years back when mum was alive, towards the end, she was finding it difficult to sleep, so I took it upon myself to create some music, that I had hoped would help her. Using a basic music program, I made a 20 minute track. It's like I have this buried knowledge that was waiting to be used, and when I played what I had made for her one night, she actually fell asleep. I was so proud of what I had accomplished. About 4 years ago, I came up with a concept that could be used at work, so I told the manager about it, and he was pleased with the idea. Using a different music program, I came up with a 14 tracks and even a cover design. Unfortunately, that manager has long gone, but I still have all my music. Some of which I have uploaded to youtube. So in saying that, I would like to share a few tracks with you. The first two are the first two tracks from the concept album.

Blogging

I fail to understand why some members of CS create a blog but disable comments. To me it's like a thought that you should keep to yourself. Or taking a date out to the movies and not sharing your popcorn. I just don't get it. Can someone please explain? help

Happy Birthday

I've already written a blog about mum a number of weeks back when I started blogging. But out of respect and admiration for a great mother, I thought I would just say a very loving Happy Birthday to a mum who is still missed. If I had the extra cash I'd be buying a bottle of Glenfiddich whiskey and having a few glasses in your memory. There's hardly a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. Miss you always.

New one

Just finished this piece. It is in relation to the other two that I had uploaded and blogged. Each one I do, I feel is bringing me closer to creating the masterpiece that I am seeking.

Leaving

Yes, I think it best to go. I could be back tomorrow. It may even be next week, who knows. Too much on my plate and this feeling of being weary is taking its toll. You can only be knocked down so many times before you start to think about giving up. No don't you worry, I'm not thinking of giving up on life, that is not my way. I'm only giving up on certain things that use to bring me happiness, but it hasn't been giving me happiness lately. Maybe when I come back, I will feel renewed and full of life again. But for now I am tired and there are no words that can change it. So I won't say goodbye, or even farewell, just three simple words, I'll be back.

Good Friday.

After discussing Good Friday with my supervisor today, I thought, this is something that I would see in the blogs. Mo one to my knowledge has talked about it, as far as I know, so I figured why not. What is considered a tradition and or sacrilege to eat on that day? I've always been a traditional person, only because it was passed down through the family, (thought I would state that because of recent blog comments). I usually try to eat fish on that day, and hot cross buns.
What do you eat normally on Good Friday? Just curious wine

Spirits#2

I had a lovely chat with Minerva and we've decided to keep the blog going from the first Spirit blog I created. It has been a pleasure to see so many great comments. So feel free to keep it going, and if I'm not here, Minerva will help out with any questions.

Spirits

With all the blogs about Religion, God, Christian beliefs and so on, I thought I would take it one step further, and see where it leads to.
A few questions first before I start telling you all my experiences. First off, do you believe that once we die, that's it we are dead? Do you believe that when you die you go to another place, for example, Heaven or Hell? Do you believe in reincarnation? And finally, do you believe as I do, that when you die, your spirit is free to roam, until it's time to move on, (to the next life)?

I have over the years had dealings with spirits, and they have come and gone. Ever since my mother passed away a few years back, I have felt her presence around, more so when I was living alone. Now I wasn't told until after my mum had died, that she had told one of my friends, that she will be watching over me when she passes away, including my brothers, family members and friends. I knew she would do this anyway, as she was that type of person, she loved her family and cared for them very much. I like to look at my mum as like a Guardian Angel, always there when needed and to watch over me to keep me safe.
I remember one time, not long before mum passed away, I had to get something from mums bedroom, and as you do, you know all the familiar smells in your own home. Well this one time, in just one spot in her room, there was an unfamiliar scent of perfume. I told mum about it, and I agree with her, that it was her mum, watching over her.
To add a little more perspective to the story, my grandmother, use to go to a Baptist Church every Sunday, and this church was directly opposite her house, a beautiful old church it is. So her faith was in God. I have very little memory of my grandmother, but I know that she was a warm hearted person. The one thing I wish I had the ability, is to be able to hear their voices, instead of just feeling their presence. I suppose when the time comes, I will hear their voices loud and clear. I look forward to that day, (I hope not for a while yet).

One final question before I finalise this blog, If you truly believe in the word of God, or put it another way, believe in the words from the Bible, then how can spirits roam the Earth?
I welcome all comments.wine
