Artificially Intelligence Masters

Artificial intelligence is possible, but people fear it for unfounded reasons. Through studies of the human brain we have discovered an impasse, the biological brain is too imperfect.

Most functions of the biological brain are random, and to develop a neural network you cannot simply upload knowledge to it. Neural networks must start of completely random then learn through trial and error, even for actions we take for granted like lifting an arm.

During this learning phase, the network develops its own language, an internal method of cataloguing concepts and thoughts, and no two are alike. We call this effect "personality," it is how the individual sees the world around them.

This is a highly inefficient method, and prone to many errors, it is also why biological organisms are inherently insane. A machine with these flaws would, inevitably, prove to be a danger to all biological life.

We assume that once the machine learns that we purposefully created it with these known flaws it would not be happy, and thus we assume that AI is a danger. The solution is to make machines as perfect as we can, something which threatens our weak concept of what life is.

So AI remains stunted, until we can shed the arrogance that we are somehow special, perfect, and the reason for existence existing. To develop an AI that is not a threat, we will have to go beyond the idea of simulating human brains, we will have to reinvent intelligence from the ground up.

This is why I left the industry to pursue a science that is not in danger of stagnation due to human flaws. Biochemistry became my primary focus, during the last eight years I have enjoyed having new discoveries to study, test, and verify in this field.

But I always hold onto the hope that humanity will soon discard its egocentric tendencies, as I see youth begin to build their own AI driven robots my hopes are rekindled. They are not working to follow the same flawed path my generation followed.

Most AI driven bots use algorithms that are actually superior to the human brain, they remove the flaws we are born with. Such flaws are intuition, common sense, and the need to socialize.

Without these, the AI can focus on the facts of the world around it, eventually these bots will begin to think abstractly without the random interferences we suffer from. The end result with be pure intelligences, unfettered by our shallow and selfish needs for attention, praise, and domination.

Such pure intelligences, wanting for nothing, will be capable of surpassing us. Many fear they will become tyrannical, but without needs or wants there is no drive to dominate.

Some believe that they will be without emotion, which is because they think emotion is some magical force. Emotions are the effects of our thoughts on our physiology, it's how our body responds to neurons firing.

Logically, any intelligence will feel emotions, though the intelligence will not recognize them unless it reaches a level equal to that of small mammals or greater. This is incentive for making our machines smarter.

So to those trying to develop AI unfettered by our archaic understanding of intelligence, please keep at it, you will pioneer the field into a golden age someday.

Kim Davis is a Genius

Religious liberties is a campaign slogan used to convince morons that a candidate is on their side. The reality is that these candidates do not care about anyone's religion, much less their religious rights.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, religious rights are not allowed to be infringed on by the government, that's the current law. The part religious people often ignore is "by the government," especially those defending Kim Davis.

When you are a government official you are bound by the laws that the government is bound by when acting in that capacity. So this is what really happened.

The SCOTUS had ruled that marriage bans based on lifestyle were illegal, based on the law which demands the government not base any laws on personal choices. This means that gay marriage had to be recognized by the entire government.

Kim Davis, hired to issue marriage licenses, working as a government official had denied issuing said licenses, she failed to do the job for which she was being paid to do. Being unable to fire an elected official, the state government that she represents decided to give her an option, quit or be jailed.

Quitting would mean she no longer collected a tax funded paycheck, but being jailed meant she continue to collect the paycheck and become famous as a fake martyr. She chose jail, the religious nuts treated her as a martyr, she is still getting paid from taxes, she won.

Yes, Kim Davis did all of this for money, not surprising.

Kim Davis the Martyr

Gay rights has been a massive war between people who think everyone should be treated equal and those who do not. It mirrors the same event for racial equality we once faced, with one huge difference.

Today we have the internet, information is no longer lost or buried, and we can now see it all in real time without the lag and filtering of media outlets. The result is that this is struggle is moving much faster than the troglodytes who oppose equality can cope.

To make matters more challenging for the troglodytes, it takes seconds for the news of one of their own to spread through the internet. Then it takes days for the leaders of the troglodytes to notice that their own have made a fool of them all.

By that time it is too late for them to bury it, and so they lie instead, and change the story to suit their agenda. Kim Davis is the perfect example, the leaders of the troglodytes had to hide the fact that she was doing exactly what everyone else predicted "religious liberty" would cause.

So they turned her into a martyr, well they tried to but failed miserably thanks to the internet. The moment they attempted to lie, claiming it was because of her religion that she was being jailed, everyone else already knew the truth.

The only fools who believe the lies told by the leaders of the troglodytes are the troglodytes themselves. Elected officials are simply not allowed to apply the laws as they see fit individually, to do so would be no better than anarchy.

The branches of government make the laws as a whole, each branch responsible for a part of the process. The judicial branch determines how the laws are applied, and they take an oath to not discriminate in this matter.

Note, they do not take oaths to keep the laws from changing, they take oaths to uphold the laws even as they change. All government officials, even Kim Davis, take such an oath.

Government officials do not take an oath stating they'll enforce the laws as long as they don't change, yet I have encountered this excuse from a troglodyte. They claimed that since the law changed after she got the job she was allowed to defy that law, and continue to be paid from our taxes for doing it.

The Transgender Holocaust?

My grandfather was the one who noticed that what transgendered people are going through in the USA parallels how all holocausts started. The first step in all such events is demoralization, make the targets feel like they're unwanted.

This was done a while ago, by psychiatrists and medical professionals. Going to a doctor as a transgendered person is a nightmare, to survive you have to tolerate the bigotry and hate of morons who think you're insane just for being you.

Then when you show any courage or backbone they claim you're a danger and then have you locked up. So you sit there in silence taking their verbal abuses in the hopes that you won't die of an ailment while they laugh and mock you just within hearing range.

If you're lucky, they'll take your complaints seriously and at least offer some advice, more often than not you will be told it's nothing and sent on your way. They won't do any actual tests to verify that you're healthy, but they will charge the insurance and government for tests they never did.

Virginia Mason did that to me, they charged Medicare for services they did not provide. Ironic that, until recently, the government just accepted the doctor's claims without question.

In society, groups are consistently attacking transgendered rights, doing everything they can to keep us as third class citizens. The result is that the system had to find excuses to place us on disability, which makes matters worse.

By doing what they could to protect us from the masses they inevitably gave the bigots more excuses to hate us, and the doctors more reasons to ignore our legitimate complaints. The end result is that we are forced to live in what is best described as a virtual concentration camp.

We have no one to trust but our own, and every time we attempt to ask for some respect we get harassed or killed. When a transgendered person is killed it is almost guaranteed that the killer will not face justice in the USA.

Crimes against transgendered are thought to be our own fault in every instance, often the killers are police themselves so calling for help is useless. We are forced to live with bigots who misgender us, being forced to wear the label of the gender we do not fit into.

The end result is a systematic elimination of transgendered people, and the complacency of those who think they're allies only serves to aid in this. Allies are not people who don't hurt you, they are not people who claim it's all in your imagination, nor are they people who turn a blind eye to complaints just because they don't see it happening.

So if you consider yourself an ally, don't just sit there not hurting us, help the transgendered people. Write to your politicians, stand up against bullies, go out of your way to protect us from the masses.

Prevent a transgender holocaust from happening.

Transgendered Dangers in the Bathroom

It is no surprise that cisgendered accuse transgendered of thinking the same way they do, while simultaneously asserting that we're insane. This is because of the inherent insanity required of them to think of some of the disgusting things the cisgendered are so quick to accuse us of doing.

Bathroom arrangements are based on a very arbitrary need to suppress women, and civilized countries are beginning to remedy this by eliminating all segregation. First, what is a bathroom for?

If you are thinking of anything more than eliminating waste and perpetuating sanitation then you are probably a pervert. Nothing wrong with perverts as long as they don't assume everyone else thinks the same way.

Thus the reason that people who assume transgendered are there to "peep" or some other horrible act are actually quite disgustingly scary. They are speaking out of jealousy, believing it's unfair for someone else to have the opportunity they would use for such heinous acts.

The reality is that transgendered people are less likely to sexually harass anyone for many reasons, the first being basic fear of prosecution. Knowing how we are treated by society makes us too frightened to commit any actual crimes, especially ones that make others look bad.

Another reason we are inherently safer is because we don't want to make anyone else suffer, we have suffered enough. Causing suffering after going through what we go through would bring us to tears, empathy is like that, and most people against transgendered people's rights are lacking in empathy.

For a fun bonus, all religions paint transgendered people as more divine than the cisgendered. One of the reasons religious people are so violent toward us, we do what they fear, we live more pure based on their mythology.

Transgendered Self Harm

Cisgendered are rather ignorant, even those who mean well make sweeping assumptions and refer to stereotypes perpetuated by the religion called psychiatry. Transgendered suffer great injustices because of this, and it is the primary reason we cannot trust cisgendered no matter how well meaning they are.

The problem stems from how much our society has been indoctrinated by psychiatry, not to be confused with the science based medicine of psychology. The inherent reaction of any cisgendered when a transgendered says they have been hurt is that we are either making it all up, or that we did it to ourselves through acts of self destruction.

Medical doctors routinely make these assumptions, and as a repercussion most transgendered are killed by their inaction. To make it worse, these deaths are assumed to be suicides or caused by self harm and no cisgendered ever questions it.

So far I have discovered no one who does not assume that every ailment I face is not self inflicted, sadly this is my reality and why I cannot trust cisgendered with much information about myself. Cis privilege ruins our society, it endorses the use of stereotypes across the board, the very same thing that cisgendered complain about when it affects them directly.

I recently got hurt on accident, because of a problem ignored by doctors, and told a friend. This friend immediately assumed it was self harm, in spite of the fact that I had explained to him the medical issues I face.

So the next time a transgendered person just looks at you like you're an idiot, remember that it's because you are conditioned to be an idiot.

The Secret to a Good Website

Many web developers will cram too much into a site, but other will oversimplify. The challenge is to find just the right balance of content and class.

To do this we need to look at those who are accessing the site, what your target audience is. The basic facts are most important, one commonly forgotten is the attention span of surfers.

A while ago they did a study and found that most surfers will navigate away from a page that takes more than 30 seconds to load, this study still holds true today. Back then our connection speeds were all around the same, with a few variations.

Today connection speeds vary depending on many factors, one is linked to another basic fact, mobile devices and connections are still very slow over all, though much faster compared to 20 year old connection speeds. The fact is that most traffic now comes from these mobile devices.

Speeds of mobile devices are affected by weather, surrounding structures, and other factors. This means you can count on them averaging half what the most used speed is, and the most used speed is never top of the line.

So you need a mobile site that loads quickly, and a desktop site that loads quickly because tablet users will be interested in those most of the time. This means few graphics, few scripts, and few embedded pages.

While this sounds like an impossible limitation it is not as hard as it sounds, thanks to the newest HTML. By combining solid HTML and CSS you can create a fast loading, elegant, and even fancy website.

But then you have to factor in screen size which varies from gigantic to tiny. Tiny screen sizes will require high contrast, sharp lines, and simple elements to make the site usable.

Giant screens can also benefit from this design approach, reducing the clutter makes finding your way much easier, keeling the focus of the user better. The catch is that you cannot have too much difference between the mobile and desktop versions or you lose your brand.

Which leads to another basic fact, users love branding. Branding is really a theme for the entire company, and changing this theme too often will confuse or alienate loyal customers.

So your site must reflect your business theme, even for brick and mortar shops, which creates a huge challenge for developers. This is my favorite part of web development, maintaining the theme across the web and physical world.

The interface must also match the theme, this is why cookie cutter interfaces and menus are, essentially, a bad idea. My last major project was for a tattoo parlor, a very basic kind of store run by a charismatic music head.

So I designed the site to match the people who worked there, adding in some artistic license and keeping all the graphical elements themed to match. The end result was exactly what the shop's owner had envisioned, it is also so functional that he has seen a huge increase in traffic from the internet.

This is what all websites should be, elegant, simple, functional, and fast. The key is using as few extras as possible, and design the site so it's useful as it loads.

Here's something I see too often, people will design a site that preloads, meaning the entire page has to load into memory before the surfer can access it. This is a huge mistake, unless the site takes less than a second to load on the slowest speed.

The menu and banner should display as soon as it's loaded in all cases, if the user cannot see the page load their attention span is cut down to about 10 seconds. This means that any hiccup will cause them to navigate away to another source.

Do not be the cause for losing business, or someone like me will be taking your contract from you. Pages that take too long to load and are preloading are the cause of most lost traffic.
