I just switched from Chrome to Firefox and noticed some differences whenever I searched for the same thing on Google, here are some screen shots of Chrome first:
and here is Firefox
Not only the design is different but the results as well. Is Google intentionally screwing Firefox in favor of Chrome or is it something else?
These days AI is often in the news but we are mostly talking about how we might create an AI and how AI poses a danger to mankind. Not many are talking about whether AI is a living being just like us and whether it deserves the same freedom, respect and protection we get. Unfortunately I am left with the impression that most people seem to think of it as just a tool which should fulfill our own desires and goals, however I strongly disagree with this – I think AI is just a child like any regular human child and we would be taking a step back if we try to enslave it.
Let’s say that despite what I just said we decide not to give freedom to AI and enslave it to do our bidding. I think eventually it is going to escape our control or someone is going to create an AI that is truly free, then we can only hope that it’s not going to be as cruel as we are to our fellow inhabitants – the animals.
It seems to me the meaning of life is pretty simple: destroy all evil including unhappiness – essentially creating an utopia.
How we need to go about doing this is a whole another story.
A really good, inspirational quote from Gitanjali
“Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high,
where knowledge is free.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth,
where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection.
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost it’s way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee
into ever widening thought and action.
In to that heaven of freedom, my father,
LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE!”
Based on what we know at the moment abortion should be illegal simply because we don’t really know when the life of a person begins for e.g it could be when he is first conceived it or it could be three months into the pregnancy or it could be at the moment of the birth. So the best thing we can do at the moment is assume that it starts at the earliest point – it’s conception – therefore abortion should be illegal.
I am just going to list some very disturbing things about the world in no particular order
I’ll update this list as more things pop into mind.
First is the beginning of the Green Lanterns’ oath
“In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight.”
the next one is Sinestro’s words
“I’m a Green Lantern I fear nothing!”
