Hi there welcome to my podcast channel that
I call SOLILOGQUEST where I essentially talk to myself and hopefully through that to
you if you are tuned in .. I appreciate that and it would be further nice
of you to support this endeavor by subscribing sharing and liking my content.
As am learning this along, I need to have more subscribers to even go live .. so pls
extend your support.. I could really use it. Alright .. there a quite a few things to cover
and as always, for video I would continue to share my journey to Cape Cod ..
If you missed out previous videos, I travelled from central Massachusetts to
the starting of the cape till about that round after Bourne bridge u could say. Here on
this is all CapeCod drive till the very end to Herring cove beach near Provincetown. I figured
it is better to share the video of the drives than my solo talking face, so that anyone could
either watch the video mute the audio and enjoy the drive or listen to the audio and interact
without the need to watch the video as such, or do both. But either way hope you would relate
to the content and the soliloquy all along. On the news front .. it happened and played out
as was expected .. Trump thumped to victory over Nikki in her home state South Carolina in the
wrap up of Republican primaries. Depriving her of any prime time importance, Trump focusses on
Biden. Now in the aftermath of this debacle, the news that Koch brothers or the network or whatever
is going to pull the backing, if that is true then what is left in this race m not sure for Nikki to
still be in the “race” and not throwing the towel. Is there something that is still giving her hope,
is that hope drawn from the lingering trials and $300-400Mn lawsuits which could in her assessment
alter Trump’s strategic manoueverability. This space continues to throw interesting episodes
day after day on an hourly basis. Making it as challenging to keep track of it all anyway
till something as big as this comes along. In an act so full of generosity that would well
up with tears .. feeling touched .. AT&T CEO apologises for nationwide outage and seems to
have announced $5 credit for customers who were impacted. I can’t imagine the joy that guy felt
who was heading for his job interview and his map won’t work without the data service and he missed
out on the interview .. the kid’s mother who wanted to check on the baby sitter but couldn’t
reach out and was ridden paranoid .. the young mobile app using stock trader .. the yuppie.. who
was sitting on top of the mountain ready to ski down but couldn’t get the network to sell his
positions and lost enough to pawn off his car tumbled down the mountain he made upto from a mole
of his savings .. well the reports of this being just a coding error and not a cyberattack does
make it more of a placebo than even a palliative. And if it is true that the Geomagnetic storm
or powerful solar flare is the said culprit then rubbing off $5 is how you basically take
a stray arrow to yourself.. that’s what the CEO has done if it was solar storm then why bother
.. $5 is no generosity .. why bother .. maybe he thought $5 is one third his stock price ..
People are so sensitive that Leave the World Behind started trending again on Netflix ..
is it a tell on who was behind this ? Anyone’s guess. Is it funny or just crazy that you cannot
know who’s doing what behind the scenes. People looking to make 911 calls had to use the text
options .. feel bad for the plight of those who had thumb injury that day. One little fart
from the sun, one giant blow up for mankind. Japan get its first TSMC factory as the land of
the rising sun wakes up to the glare of political realities before the tensions between China and
Taiwan flare up. Looks like Sony will benefit and another company .. from this inland chip making.
This might not sound to be important but this is, this is a national level insurance policy
for the whole Western axis in case China walks over Taiwan, the semiconductor risk
is being hedged by this development. Now, devil being in the details, key thing is if this
would materialize before the elections in Taiwan, highly unlikely and outcome of elections would
matter .. can’t say but A critical move which offers hope for a whole lot of commerce
and supply chain dependencies on chips. I was reading the white house joint statement on
principles of 6G and I just realized that i almost glanced over the 6 in that .. 6G? When did that
happen.. I thought that US is still struggling to fully implement and make use of 5G after
having conceded the loss to China and Huawei. But looks like 6G is progressing, and one
can only hope that this is no PR gimmick, i mean it is an arms race of sorts
but just for the larger good, hope this is really happening as this would
hopefully bring the real IoT synergies and IoS which is the new thing i came across ..
Internet of Skills whereby remote assistance with skills could be extended and imparted
in different situations. Robotic arms etc. .. world is getting complex. Of course
game changer but largely fictional for now, till real things start happening on ground level
.. we all know the current state of network we don’t even have network in large part of this
country esp rural areas and we are struggling to get 4G and 5Gs and they have started talking
about 6G .. hope it happens it is good for us in the larger interest. But it was a little
shocker that there is joint statement coming in. This joint statement was from
The Governments of the United States, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic,
Finland, France, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom
shared principles for the research and development of 6G wireless communication systems;
open, free, global, interoperable, reliable, resilient, and secure connectivity.
National Security, Data Privacy technical standards, ensure the availability of
essential services; and systems designed to fail safely and recover quickly.
Inclusive Standard Setting & International Collaborations
respect intellectual property rights - sounds more like a dig at countries that steal tech
Interoperable Innovation interoperability between
products from different suppliers Affordability, Sustainability,
and Global Connectivity energy-efficient deployments and operation,
bridge digital divides, delivering reliable coverage
promote a globally competitive market along the ICT value chain
compute and connectivity continuum Came across this Concept of Artificial Integrity
- socially responsible, ethically accountable, inclusive of Perspectives and approaches. AI
has ethical safeguards ensuring human dignity and rights. Sustainable safe social framework.
Sensitivity and responsiveness to norms, values. Mindful of planetary existence. Its not Humans
Vs AI, but combined synergies - multiplicative value add, exponential benefit to human progress,
consider inputs from all stakeholders, actively participating representation from broad spectrum
included in decision making, keen and objective design, self regulation based on ethical codes of
integrity, morality, risk taking. Preempt ethical dilemmas, enrich artificial moral compass, dynamic
alignment required for complex and evolving society. It will be a lot about explainability
and accountability, the trade offs for inexplainability and limits of interpretability.
Still, Critical decisions would remain under human control despite temptations of complete
autonomy, which is going to be a long road. AI Quotient (AIQ) - very interesting term
on AI .. what is the intelligence level of humans and the companies how are they
trained around AI and their usage how to implement and utilize them of course within
the safeguards and all the strategies in place. Well that brings me to the end of
this video .. we have reached exit for Dennis one of the lovely towns with
a Nice harbor, a quiet beach for calm sunset. It is one third the journey to the
end of the Cape .. pls continue watching for the remaining parts in the upcoming videos
with more things to talk and think about. That’s a wrap on this episode .. until
next time.. have a good one. Bbye.
