Agreed. Facebook has places to spew Bile. Lets keep it off this forum.

I’d hope so, but realize the biggest driver in technology today is AI and few folks outside realize what a truly transformational moment this is. It’s far far bigger than the internet, the invention of electricity or the automobile or flying machines. San Francisco companies like Open AI will rule much of what will be done in the future. They are already worth $150 billion in less than 6-7 years from starting as a nonprofit. They are reshaping the entire internet as we know it. Google is racing to catch up, and so is Meta. Nvidia in Santa Clara, about 20 minutes from where I live, is the world’s most valuable company primarily for its AI hardware.
All of this would be great if we can assure AI will be a force for good. But it’s no longer up to us.
I learned AI 40 years ago from Geoffrey Hinton, the so-called godfather of AI, who won a Nobel prize this year in physics for his work on neural networks. The Nobel prize in chemistry this year also went to an AI program developed at Google for protein structure prediction. Humans struggled to discover the structure of one protein. Google’s program solved the problem for millions of proteins. It’s completely beyond human imagination. But the field is just getting started and many future Nobel prizes may go to AI.
Hinton is now one of the most vociferous in arguing AI has to be put on hold. But it’s too late. The genie cannot be put back in the bottle. How does this affect high end audio, a very small niche industry in comparison? Well, human creativity is soon going to eclipsed at a scale none of us can imagine. That certainly holds for music creation. Combined with the power of social networks, AI will change our future in ways none of us can comprehend.
Hinton himself gives humans 15 years…Open AI predicts AI super intelligence will arrive in 3 years.

‘The Godfather of A.I.’ Leaves Google and Warns of Danger Ahead (Published 2023)
For half a century, Geoffrey Hinton nurtured the technology at the heart of chatbots like ChatGPT. Now he worries it will cause serious harm.
Sam Altman says AI superintelligence could be just 'a few thousand days' away
In an essay, Altman discussed what he’s calling the "Intelligence Age."
They closed the Audio store that was near my home in Seattle. They had a big show at the remaining location in Bellevue. I toss their email so I missed it. Lucky I wasn't there. I may have grabbed those Magnepan Al got a hold of.
