A Ten-Year Moratorium on AI Laws?
The “Big Beautiful Bill” passed by our House of Representatives contains a 10-year moratorium on state and local laws concerning artificial intelligence (AI). There is much to consider in House Bill 1 (its official name is “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”). We know the bill has lots of pork, but if anyone criticizes this bill,…
The New Reality of Unreality
Is reality overrated? To some, it appears that a new, better reality is the fake one. Most young people will get the video below; however, many of the older generation will exclaim, “What?” “Wait a minute!” The following video was generated by Google’s Gemini video generator, powered by Veo3. Every frame in the video is…

However, the human race, as a whole, has become the intellectual masters of Earth. Other animals and even plants have…

To quote Elon, “LIDAR is fricking, expensive and unnecessary.” However, as Tesla’s competition now realizes, LIDAR is necessary for many reasons. Relying solely on visual information is dangerous at 30 mph, 60…
Perplexity
I told many of my friends and relatives about a new AI research tool called Perplexity. It does not get the press or billionaire coverage of the more famous AIs such as ChatGPT, CoPilot, Boomi, OpenAI, or China’s Deep Seek. However, I have been using it and just got word that a new version is…
Limits to some AIs
I noticed that Elon Musk’s AI, Grok, was becoming popular, so I decided to ask it a “softball” question and compare its responses with those of other AIs. Having studied my distant cousin’s genealogy, I knew the answer to the “softball” question, “Which member of Elon Musk’s family was Elon named after?” You would assume…
