Ich bin nicht der einzige, der sich ber Microsofts ... "IndyWatch Feed National"

Ich bin nicht der einzige, der sich ber Microsofts Krisen-PR aufregt: Schner Rant bei Ars Technica.

Fridays post and two others Microsoft published Tuesday, bend over backward to avoid the words vulnerability or zero-day. Instead, the company uses considerably more amorphous terms such as issue, error, and flaw when attempting to explain how nation-state hackers tracked the email accounts of some of the company's biggest customers.
Die Taktik, das auf Geheimdienste zu schieben, finde ich auch herausstellenswert. Als ob das dann weniger krasses Versagen auf ihrer Seite wre, weil man gegen Geheimdienste ja eh nichts machen kann. Oder so.

Aber wartet, die Nummer ist sogar noch krasser als ich bisher mitbekommen hatte.

Microsoft, however, requires customers to pay an additional fee to access these records. The cost for an E5 enterprise license allowing such access is $57 per month per user, compared to an E3 license cost of $36 per month per customer.

Ach. Ach was. Erst liefern sie sich ans Messer, dann kassieren sie fr Updates Abo-Gebhren, und jetzt wollen sie auch noch Geld fr Zugang zu der Telemtrie, die sich ber dich erhoben haben, damit du selber merken kannst, ob du gehackt wurdest?

Tolle Gelddruckmaschine haben die da. Ich staune ja immer, dass die Doofe finden, die ihnen noch Geld fr ihre "Dienste" geben.

Bevor jetzt irgendein Sprallo mit "aber Amazon ist ja auch teuer" kommt: Es geht auch ganz ohne Cloud! Ich wei das von einer verlsslichen Quelle.

Australias government is wrong to attack the Solomon Islands "IndyWatch Feed National"

Contributed by Jim Hayes

The attack on the Solomon Islands for singing a cooperation agreement with China is wrong. Worse, it is an uncalled for intervention in the internal affairs of another nations. Its the deliberate bullying by a local big power of a small neighbour.

Nations that value democracy will hold that a nation belongs to its people and that the course the nation takes is up to them, not for someone from outside wanting to impose their will.

Comments from leading Australian politicians indicate they have a somewhat different view of the world. In his case, it involves trying to block any deal our neighbours might make with China. The reason? The Australian government is locked into the geopolitical ambition of the United States to maintain its dominance in the region.

Australias history in this part of the world has often not been a good one and given to a propensity to play a kind of colonialist role, denying the right of local peoples to be masters of their own destiny. In other words, Australia stood against democracy. We need only consider the roles played in Papua new Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the current backing of the Indonesian occupation of West Papua.

When the Solomon Islands prime minister Manasseh Sogavare insists that Australia is meddling in his nations internal affairs, he makes an exceptionally good point.

Photo from the Australian: Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands Manasseh Sogavare

The current controversy concerns the deal with China, which seems to have been prompted by Australian moves to renege on its own prior agreement. We dont know the details of this because the matter has been going on behind closed doors. What we do know is that the Solomon Islands are unhappy with the way they see they have been treated. The bottom line is that the Australian government insists that the Solon Islands should be denied this right. This isnt said openly, of course....

New Drug Shows Promise In Slowing Alzheimers Progression, Says Dementia Australia "IndyWatch Feed National"

In a significant breakthrough, Dementia Australia has hailed the release of trial findings unveiling the efficacy of Donanemab, a promising new drug that slows the progression of early Alzheimers symptoms.

Developed by pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, the drug functions by stimulating antibodies designed to target and eliminate amyloid plaques from the brain.

A decade ago, in 2011, the leading cause of death for non-Indigenous men and women in Australia was coronary heart disease. This remains the case for men in 2021, but dementia, including Alzheimers disease, claimed the number one ranking for women. (For Indigenous Australians, the leading cause of death remains coronary heart disease, followed by diabetes).

(Source: AIHW)

Maree McCabe, CEO of Dementia Australia, expressed her enthusiasm for this groundbreaking development, hailing it as a critical advancement in diversifying dementia treatment options.

These results instil much-needed hope for those experiencing symptoms, mild cognitive impairment, or early-stage Alzheimers, Ms McCabe said.

The research also underscores the vital significance of early diagnosis, ensuring timely access to treatment and support.

Increasing dementia awareness and understanding will help reduce discrimination and stigma, thus encouraging individuals with cognitive concerns to seek information and support at the earliest opportunity, she said.

Timely support and services have demonstrated superior health, care, and lifestyle outcomes for those affected.

Dementia Australia has urged cautious optimism as Donanemab awaits approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for its use in Australia.

Professor Blossom Stephan, Chair of Dementia Curtin University and Dementia Australia, lauded the trials results as encouraging, noting the study revealed that participants with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia experienced a reduction of up to 35 per cent in cognitive decline through Donanemab treatment.

This research also highlights the need to ensure that healthcare services are equipped to deliver the intervention as well as make sure that access to treatment is equitable and available to everyone,...

After eight years of good old-fashioned yum cha, Geelongs Golden Dragon Yum Cha has closed its doors "IndyWatch Feed Vic"

For the past eight years in a historic former bank in the heart of Geelong, sat one of the best destinations for the glorious feasting ritual of yum cha Golden Dragon Yum Cha Restaurant.

Taking over the 1888 Boom Classicism style two-storey brick bank, the dining destination (co-owned by Bryan Mu the restaurateur behind Shinra Ramen and Toki) earned itself a solid reputation among yum cha enthusiasts since opening back in 2015 for their take on the traditional Cantonese brunch, involving Chinese tea and dim sum small plates of steam, pan-fried and deep-fried dishes to be shared.

Keep up with the latest food and booze news across the region here.

Boasting a menu full of classics with a slight twist to them, the restaurant officially announced its closure to social media back in June, citing post-covid trading and financial challenges.

After eight years, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Golden Dragon Yumcha. It has been an incredible journey serving our esteemed patrons and being part of your dining experiences, the post said.

Due to after covid tough trading and financial challenge, we have made the difficult decision to cease operations. While this was not an easy choice, we believe it is the right one for the long-term sustainability of our business.

With its prime position in the CBD, Golden Dragons yum cha was one of the best excuses to get together with friends with a tonne of food, a few teas and a bottle of soft drink or two.

The business expressed its appreciation to its customers over the years for allowing them to be part of the citys hospitality story for almost a decade.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has dined with us throughout the years. Your loyalty and support have been instrumental in making Golden Dragon Yumcha a beloved dining destination within our community. It has been our pleasure to serve you and share our passion for exquisite Chinese cuisine.

The short walk: a gentle stroll down Whisky Gully "IndyWatch Feed Cvic"

A large group came to Mount Alexander last Sunday. The walk began at Dog Rocks then travelled south along Whisky Gully on the eastern side of the mount. On reaching the Leanganook Picnic Area the group headed north along the Goldfields Track to Dog Rocks. The winter sunshine was perfect for meandering along the gully. Fungi expert Joy Clusker provided expert help with identification backed up by Liz Martin who navigated the route. Unfortunately we had missed the best fungi months in May and June but there were still plenty around as well as abundant moss displays. Liz Martin sent us the following photos.

ACT Bill to Raise the Age falls short for 12 and 13 year olds "IndyWatch Feed National"

Australias first jurisdiction set to pass legislation to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14 will fall short of its obligations to protect the human rights of children.

A report from ACT parliaments Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety, tabled on Friday, failed to recommend necessary changes to proposed legislation to raise the age. Advocates have been unequivocal in calling for the Barr Government to raise the age to at least 14 with no carve-outs.

The Committees report ignored advice from medical experts and Aboriginal, legal and human right advocates by failing to recommend the removal of carve outs for children aged 12 and 13, who will remain criminally responsible for some behaviour, from the Bill. 

Medical evidence is abundantly clear that children under the age of 14 do not have the capacity for criminal responsibility. Instead the ACT government will continue to criminalise behaviours that are best understood as responses to trauma. 

Despite hearing evidence on the significant harm and trauma children in prisons are subjected to, the Committee failed to make recommendations that could stop children aged 12 and 13 from being locked away in the coming years, opting to support the governments decision to delay raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 until 2025. 

Recommendations for stronger oversight of intensive therapy places under the Optional Protocol on the Convention Against Torture (OPCAT) are welcomed, as well as the inclusion of Elders on the therapeutic support panel for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities.

Quotes Attributed to Maggie Munn, National Director, Change the Record: 

While we commend the ACT government for raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 it is disappointing that this will be delayed until 2025 and will include carve outs for 12 and 13 year olds.

"The government seems set on incarcerating children who don't understand the gravity of their behaviour, and then wondering why that behaviour doesn't change. Children belong in schools and playgrounds and need to be supported to learn from their mistakes, not locked in cages."

Quotes Attributed to Amala Ramarathinam, Acting Managing Lawyer, Human Rights Law Centre:

The Committees report represents a missed opportunity to recommend crucial changes to the Bill. Children will continue to experience significant harm and trauma while the ACT Government delays raising the age to 14 and continues to criminalise 12 and 13 year olds for certain behaviours.

Police should not have the power to arrest and lock up children under the age of criminal responsibility. 10 year olds still have their baby teeth and 12 year olds are still in primary school. The Bill must be urgently amende...

Hindutva Goes to Washington: Narendra Modis US Visit "IndyWatch Feed National"

Again, he was at it, that charming show on two legs, playful and coy.  Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been burning the charismatic fuel of late, making the necessary emissions in visiting friendly countries.  Each time, he seems to be getting away with more and more, currying (pun intended) favour with his hosts and landing the necessary deals.

For all the excitement of going to a fellow cricket loving state such as Australia, no one was under any illusion about the prize.  Easy gains there on matters of commerce, education and security: a pliant PM, a pliant Cabinet, a political and business class hungering for access to a country which recently passed China as the most populous on the planet.  In all of this, Modi had the audacity to urge Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to do something about reported acts of vandalism against Hindu temples in Melbourne.

In scale, nothing was going to compare to courting the superpower that, for all its might, teeters.  On his June visit to the United States, Modi was building on earlier efforts to show India as a viable partner in a number of areas.

The Modi visit exemplified the calculations of the moment.  The US has been rather clumsy of late, engaging in a foreign policy described by former US Secretary of the Treasury, Lawrence Summers, as a bit lonely.  US foreign policy makers have tended to miss a bit or two, not least understanding the value Indian officials place on their military relationship with Moscow.  The Indian political establishment is also mindful about how useful New Delhi is seen in Washington, the traditional counter to Beijing. That counter, however, is seen as subordinate to maintaining US supremacy under the lecturing guise of the rules-based order.

Such poses are simply not acceptable in either the Modi worldview or those of Indian policy makers.  As Indias External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar has opined with a tart frankness, Washingtons power can be described as a transient moment of American unipolarity.  To assume, arrogantly, that history was at its end at the conclusion of the Cold War was a Eurocentric analysis jettisoned by nationalism. It is exactly such nationalism that Modi brims with.

The joint statement from the two countries made familiar, and predictable assumptions.  Much of it was frothy.  Both Biden and Modi affirmed a vision of the United States and India as among the closest partners in the world a partnership of democracies looking into the 21st century with hope, ambition, and confidence.  Naturally, there is no mention of Modis nationalistic....

Australia-EU FTA talks stalled over agricultural exports and GIs, may resume in August "IndyWatch Feed National"

July 17, 2023: Trade Minister Farrell  and Prime minster Albanese announced last week that EU concessions in negotiating the Australia-EU FTA were not good enough and that Australia would not sign a deal unless it had real commercial benefits for Australia.

Australia wants more access for Australian lamb, beef and other agricultural exports and rejects the EUs refusal to allow Australian producers to use names like prosecco and feta cheese (Geographical Indications).

EUs market of over 400 million people gives it greater bargaining power, but the EU also wants access to Australias critical mineral deposits, which are needed for production of batteries and other products for the transition to clean energy. EU representatives have also said more work was required to address these key outstanding issues. Minister Farrell commented that there was possibility of further talks next month.

The DFAT website reports that talks have concluded on other key areas of concern to AFTINET. We do not yet know if earlier EU proposals for longer monopolies on medicines have been removed, and whether the commitments on labour rights and environmental standards, including commitments on reduction of carbon emissions, are fully enforceable in the same way as other commitments in the agreement.

However, the details of these commitments will not be revealed until after the deal is concluded. The EU has a policy of releasing and publishing independent evaluations of the texts of trade agreements after they are concluded but before they are signed. The Albanese Labor government has a policy for a more open process, including independent evaluation of agreements before they are signed. The EU agreement will be their first chance to put this policy into practice.

The long walk: creek valleys, category 1 climbs "IndyWatch Feed Cvic"

A hardy group of five set out in brilliant frosty weather yesterday for FOBIFs June long walk. Walk conditions were perfect, as was the length of the walk, estimated as between 12 and 24 kilometres. We suspect the second estimate was a little subjective.

Middleton Creek, July 16: check last weeks post to see how the water levels have dropped..but the creek is still running strongly.

The walk covered the wonderfully various country at the south end of the Diggings Park: substantial moss covered rock walls, wide green valleys, rocky ascents, unusually impressive giant eucalypts. The south point was the strongly running Middleton Creek. Fungi were in abundance, and the recent wet weather had given the bush a particularly lush appearance.

Our thanks  to Jeremy Holland for as usual providing an intriguing route through little known corners.

Next months walk is in the wildflower hotspot of the Maldon Historic Reserve. Check the website for details.

A downbeat note: the destruction goes on "IndyWatch Feed Cvic"

A downbeat note for FOBIFs walkers along Wewak track yesterday was the sight of yet more evidence of timber theft along this track.

Wewak Track, July 16: FOBIF has regularly reported destruction of this kind along the track.

Wewak track seems to be a favourite spot for timber thieves, and their efforts are threatening to strip this picturesque track of its better trees. Parks Victoria seems to be powerless to stop the destruction. Thieves operate comfortably, sure in the belief that the last person they can expect to see in this bush is a ranger: readers of this site will be familiar with our observations on the under resourcing of our parks.

Weve been assured by Parks in the past that the problem is being tackled at the distribution end. The method doesnt seem to be working: and of course things are not helped by the explosion in the cost of home heating.

Conquering my bogey bird "IndyWatch Feed Cvic"

In recent years Ive been quietly pursuing this bird, the Eastern Barn Owl.

Often regarded as a boom and bust species the Eastern Barn Owl is relatively common in the district and can be found across the Moolort Plains and in wooded farmland areas. Its numbers fluctuate with those of its major prey, rodents.

Why then has it been my bogey bird?

Ive observed it on a number of occasions, usually at night in the car headlights or sadly deceased on a country road it hunts low to the ground and vehicle strike is a major threat to this beautiful owl. A few times a bird has departed from its roost before I could raise the camera.

Late yesterday afternoon, acting on a tip-off, I finally managed to photograph an Eastern Barn Owl. High up in a veteran Yellow Gum the bird emerged cautiously from a large hollow and basked for a few minutes in the fading winter sunshine. What a thrill!

Barn Owls are a cosmopolitan species, for a long time most forms were classified as Tyto alba, with separate races regarded as subspecies. Recent taxonomic studies have placed the Australian form as a distinct species, Tyto delicatula. Unlike the majority of Australian owls Barn Owls can breed continuously as long as food is abundant. The spot where I observed this bird was typical of an ideal breeding site, possibly one that has been in use for many years.

Super charged weather is warning that much more climate action is necessary "IndyWatch Feed National"

Contributed by Joe Montero

Once again, the world is being warned by nature of the disaster climate warming is causing. This year has seen record heatwaves in Europe and devastating floods in other parts of the world. The planet is now paused on the eve of  an El Nio on a scale never seen before.

These sort of weather events are not new. Records have been breaking year after year. Ice cap melts, raising sea levels, and a slowing down of the Atlantic conveyor are major causes of worsening weather patterns. 3 July saw the hottest day for the planet ever recorded. The evidence is indisputable.

Massive  cyclone activity in the Indian Ocean, sinkholes appearing in California, unbearable heat in Spain, the spread of bushfires in Canada, record ocean water temperatures, are the reality. Records are being smashed. Species eh]extinction is accelerating, and ultimately, our own extinction is a real possibility.

Yet many governments, including that of Australia, dont seem to notice. They remain in a denial zone, too busy pleasing their big money backers to bother. This is a new wakeup call. We must call out our governments or their failure to act.  We must not just get angry. Its important to divert our anger into constructive action.

What does this mean? It means becoming active in our communities, joining pour organisations, being loud, and taking our demand for change to those who hold the power.  Our survival depends on winning this war. And it is a war. Those who stand in the way of the necessary climate action must be vanquished.

Its just as important to move beyond protest, towards being pro-active in building the future, by being involved in projects that cut emissions. When governments dont do it, its communities that must act. There is some of this already. But there must be...

The global association between egg intake and the incidence and mortality of ischemic heart disease. "IndyWatch Feed National"

PMID:  Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2023 Feb 25 ;20(5). Epub 2023 Feb 25. PMID: 36901143 Abstract Title:  The Global Association between Egg Intake and the Incidence and Mortality of Ischemic Heart Disease-An Ecological Study. Abstract:  The relationship between egg consumption and ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains controversial as there is still no clear answer regarding the relationship, with research limited to a few geographical regions. In the current study, we conducted a longitudinal analysis of the association between egg intake and IHD incidence (IHDi) and mortality (IHDd) using 28 years of international data from 1990 to 2018. Egg intake (g/day/capita) by country was obtained from the Global Dietary Database. Age-standard IHDi and IHDd rates per 100,000 subjects in each country were obtained from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease database. The analysis included a total of 142 countries with populations of at least one million, for which all data were available from 1990 to 2018. Eggs are consumed worldwide, and regional differences in consumption are also shown. Utilizing IHDi and IHDd as objective variables and egg intake as an explanatory variable, the analysis was conducted using linear mixed models, which controlled for inter- and intra-country variation from year to year. The results showed a significant negative association between egg intake, and IHDi (-0.2530.117,

TUC Accused of Frustrating Formation of Organized Labour Structure

By GNA 

July 16, 2023

The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) has accused the Ghana Trade Union Congress (TUC) of frustrating the conclusion of the process and the adoption of the draft of the committee to put in place proper organized labour structures.

GFL noted that instead of building proper structures to constitute Organized Labour, the TUC instead adopted a knee-jerk and ad hoc approach to dealing with labour issues.

TUC is not the same as Organized Labour, Mr. Abraham Koomson, the Secretary General of the GFL, told newsmen in Tema, stressing that the power of the TUC to legally represent all workers in Ghana was revoked with the amendment of the Industrial Relations Act (1960), Act 299.

Mr. Koomson added that the Labour Act 2003 (Act 651) replaced the TUC with Organized Labour, adding that it did not mention the structure and organogram of Organized Labour, a lacuna that, the TUC had been taking advantage of.

This, the Federation said, would enable labour to legitimately exercise its mandate to holistically address the concerns of the rank and file.

Organized Labour, which is a term (name) provided under the laws of Ghana, represents a body of recognized and independent labour unions, federations, and associations working in concert to pursue the common interest of working people in and of Ghana, he explained.

He recalled that to cure this problem, GFL resorted to the High Court for some answers, adding, however, that the court advised that they go for a settlement, out of which TUC and GFL agreed on three things.

The terms of settlement dated April 25, 2010, indicated that TUC and GFL were to work together to get a working definition of the term organized labour, an organogram for decision making within organized labour, and a timetable for the adoption by all labour unions of the working document and operationalizing the same.

He indicated that following this, a nine-member committee with representatives of labour unions such as ICU, TUC, CLOGSAG, GFL, and others came out with a...

Harnessing the Healing Power of Smart Stem Cells Derived From Human Fat "IndyWatch Feed National"

<p><p>Recent research has uncovered a new type of smart stem cell known as Induced Multipotent Stem Cells (iMS), marking a significant step forward in the field of regenerative medicine. These iMS cells, derived from readily accessible human fat cells, have shown an impressive ability to adapt and transform in animal studies, thus demonstrating their potential for tissue repair<sup><a href= "https://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/health/scientists-are-step-closer-developing-smart-stem-cells-%E2%80%93-and-theyre-made-human-fat" id="user-content-fnref-1%5E" rel="noopener" target="_new" name= "user-content-fnref-1%5E">1</a></sup>.</p> <p>John Pimanda, a professor at UNSW Medicine & Health, explains that iMS cells are unique in their ability to respond to their environment. The idea that stem cells can respond and adapt to their surroundings to repair various types of damaged tissue is novel, and could lead to a paradigm shift in stem cell research and treatment strategies1.

  <h2>The Generation of Smart Stem Cells</h2> <p>Scientists created iMS cells by exposing human fat cells to a compound mixture, which triggered a process that resulted in the cells losing their original identity and behaving like smart stem cells. Interestingly, these reprogrammed cells remained dormant when injected into mice, until an injury occurred. Following an injury, the cells adapted and transformed into the required tissue for repair.</p> <h2>iMS Cells: Adaptive Chameleons of Regenerative Medicine</h2> <p>Heres how these iMS cells are transformative in the field of regenerative medicine:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Responsive to Surroundings</strong>: iMS cells behave like chameleons, responding to local cues and seamlessly blending into the tissue that needs healing.</li> <li><strong>Unprecedented Abilities</strong>: Unlike other stem cell technologies, iMS cells arent limited in their regenerative abilities and do not carry risks such as tumor development.</li> <li><strong>Patient-specific</strong>: Since iMS cells are derived from the patients own tissue, they significantly reduce the risk of rejection.</li> <li><strong>Wide Adaptation</strong>: iMS cells derived from adult tissue have shown the ability to adapt to a wide range of tissue types in mice, making them a kind of smart stem cell.<sup>...</sup></li> </ul>

Kennedy accuses Biden of preparing for war with Russia "IndyWatch Feed National"

RT | July 15, 2023

By ordering the deployment of 3,000 more reservists to Europe, US President Joe Biden is preparing to fight Russian forces on the ground in Ukraine, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said.

Biden has lost his way, Kennedy tweeted on Friday, arguing that the president should focus on Americas domestic problems instead of trying to achieve global military dominance.

I want people to understand what this troop mobilization is about. Its about preparing for a ground war with Russia, he said.

The idea of defeating Moscow in its conflict with Kiev is a futile geopolitical fantasy of the Biden administration, the Democratic presidential candidate added.

Thousands of Ukrainians have already lost their lives because Americas foreign policy establishment manipulated their country into war Now, rather than acknowledge failure, Biden admin prepares to sacrifice American lives too, Kennedy said.

On Thursday, Biden signed an executive order mobilizing 3,000 members of the US militarys Selected Reserve to boost the ranks of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which Washington launched in Europe in 2014 after Crimea rejoined Russia following the Western-backed coup in Kiev.

According to Army Lieutenant General Douglas Sims, the Joint Staff director of operations, the move reaffirms the unwavering [US] support and commitment to defend NATOs eastern flank in the wake of Russias military operation in Ukraine.

The US European Command (EUCOM) spokesman, Navy Captain Bill Speaks, said the deployment of reservists will not change current force-posture levels in Europe.

The leading Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump, also had some harsh words to say about Bidens decision to send more American troops to Europe. The reckless escalation in Ukraine pursued by the White House is straining the US military to the point of disaster, he said.

Joe Biden cant even walk up the steps of Air Force One without tripping. The last thing this incompetent administration should be doing is pushing us further toward World War III.

Trump reiterated his earlier claim that if he becomes president again, he would end the conflict in Ukraine in 24 hours. Not one American mother or father wants to send their child to die in Eastern Europe. We must have peace.

Another Republican presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, said it is downright disturbing that the US media is largely ignoring the presidents order in its reporting. What is the justification now [for sending reservists to Europe]? What are the operations? Where will they go? What will they do? We need answers, not sweeping this under the rug as Biden would prefer, Ramaswamy said in...

005 Artificial Intelligence, Thought and Thinking "IndyWatch Feed Vic"

This episode is on Cartesian Theatre, Socrates Elenchus, GAN and tokens, alcohol and the Divine Masculine. Bit of a ramble really.

How artificial intelligence And human intelligence converge. Or do not. I wanted to start to tackle artificial intelligence, thought and thinking. We humans are not convinced we understand how we think and have spent philosophical lifetimes debating and cogitating. (Rene Descartes Cogito ergo sum, or Dennetts draft mode or quantum consciousness?)
While AI may one day move from a sequential process to a concurrent one, the Divine Masculine will lurch toward a prompt-output approach while the Divine Feminine swims in deep waters. Both exist, both can be right.
GAN (adversarial networks) are similar to Socrates Elenchus only by debating what we know and understand do we truly KNOW. The GAN approach will try and fool the AI into thinking the image is not AI generated. It will build muscle by going back to the drawing board and trying again. A Pros and Cons list.
Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, Camus and Baudelaire, Aldous Huxley, Carlos Castaneda and others took the view that Bacchanalia, Dionysian that alcohol can clarify thinking. Or at least mean a good time while philosophising!

This is a stream of consciousness recording. It has errors as my brain attempts to compete with generative AI and suffers catastrophic failures (not enough tokens) and hallucinations (outside of ingested dataset) Hey ho.

2023 07 14 Alchemy of Innovation. So Ive been thinking about the nature of thinking. And because you jump down a rabbit hole when you start to think about thinking, we end up in all sorts of problems, well, I did. So Im going to take you through my process. Were going to go on a journey together and see what we think about thinking. Oh, yes. And chatGPT will come along as our companion.

So one of the questions I have, and I have many, because questions are tho...
