INVESTING & PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES
N.Y. State Common terminates 2 managers, expands MetLife joint venture
Robert Steyer
New York State Capitol in Albany
The New York State Common Retirement Fund, Albany, terminated two managers and made a $300 million follow-on commitment to a joint venture with MetLife.
The $186 billion pension fund terminated a Lombardia Capital Partners domestic small-cap equity separate account, with the about $177 million going to cash, said a transaction report for January posted on the website of state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, the sole trustee of the pension fund.
The pension fund also terminated its investment in the Wellington Real Total Return Fund, a mulitasset strategy fund. The transaction report, which didn't identify the amount, allocated the liquidation proceeds to cash. The pension fund initially invested $400 million in the Wellington Management fund in 2014.
Dropping the Wellington fund was "based on a strategic allocation from liquid real asset managers," Matt Sweeney, a spokesman for Mr. DiNapoli wrote in an email. "There will be no planned search for a replacement manager."
The Lombardia fund was terminated "due to a strategic reallocation," he added. "There is no a search for a replacement."
A Lombardia official did not return a call seeking comment. Sara Sherman, a spokeswoman for Wellington, declined to comment.
The transaction report also announced the pension fund had expanded its relationship in a joint venture with MetLife in MetLife Core Plus Partners. The report said the pension fund had made a $300 million follow-on equity commitment to a joint venture called MCPP II, which it said would "target core-plus and value-add office, multifamily, industrial, retail and mixed-use properties."
The pension fund holds a 49.9% stake in the joint venture, the transaction report said.
In December 2015, the pension fund committed $455 million to MetLife Core Plus Partners.

No You Are Not Charging Him With Stealing The Handcuffs
A handcuffed man (behind the back!) escapes from your patrol car, and you're going to include a charge of stealing handcuffs? Are you sure that's a part of the case you really want to highlight? Pick one: "Fugitive escapes!" or "Handcuffed fugitive in back of patrol car escapes, and steals $29 handcuffs that are supposed to be restraining him, under the nose of the officer who should be watching him." As reported by The Daily News (Washington State):
A DOC officer arrested Eric Mitchell Lair on a felony warrant Oct. 1, according to a Longview police report. On the way to Cowlitz County jail, "Lair was able to open the back of (an) unmarked DOC caged vehicle and flee," the report said.
"Lair was handcuffed behind his back at the time of escape," the report said. Officers from multiple agencies conducted an "extensive search" of the area, but couldn't find Lair.
On Thursday, a Superior Court judge issued a warrant for Lair's arrest on suspicion of first-degree escape.
Police also noted that the handcuffs Lair escaped with are valued at $29 and requested he be charged with third-degree theft.
Not the handcuffs! Cut your losses! HT: The Daily News.

Q: migration java 7 to java 8 - forEach in forEach for a HashMap in HashMap? My java7 code:
int dataIndex = 0;
final List<DataIndex> indexData = new ArrayList<>();
for (final Entry<Integer, Map<String, ModelList>> e : fusionedData.entrySet()) {
    for (final Entry<String, ModelList> e2 : e.getValue().entrySet()) {
        dataIndex++;
        indexData.add(new DataIndex(dataIndex, e2.getValue().getIds()));
    }
}

I try with forEach:
fusionedData.forEach(entry -> { ...??? })

I try with stream + map
fusionedData.entrySet().stream().map(Map.Entry::getValue)...???

A: AtomicInteger dataIndex = new AtomicInteger();
final List<DataIndex> indexData = fusionedData.values().stream()
    .flatMap(models-> models.values().stream()) // Stream<ModelList>
    .map(ModelList::getIds)
    .map(ids -> new DataIndex(dataIndex.incrementAndGet(), ids))
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

A: Try this:
Map<Integer, Map<Integer, ModelList>> fusionedData;
fusionedData.values() // Collection<Map<Integer, ModelList>
        .stream() // Stream<Map<Integer, ModelList>>
        .flatMap(map -> map.values().stream()) // Stream<ModelList>
        .forEach(value -> {
            // here value is instance of ModelList
            // do something with that
        });

My first thought was that you have unstable network traffic that is stabilized by the addition of the scan tool. Option 2 is a module that won't wake up on it's own, as you suggested. Either way I would hook up a labscope and monitor traffic with and without a scan tool hooked up to see if it looks dramatically different. I'm not sure a DVOM will help much as CCD networks only toggle about .5 volts from bias and won't change your readings much. As a backup plan if you do not have a labscope try min/max on your DVOM.
One final thing, I would caution against giving the powers and grounds a clean bill of health just from the ABS light coming on. You might want to double check those with a voltage drop.
I am attaching a screen cap from ATG's Vehicle Network Diagnostic Strategies that shows a CCD bus labscope capture while traffic is present.
Hello Luis. What happens when you unplug the pcm? do the windows work?
I think it sound more like no wake up. Not very familiar with Chrysler CCD but looking at a diagram it appears wake up is from ignition switch. By entering the network through the DLC your creating wake up for the cluster and BCM.
The thing that is inconsistent with that theory is that the windows should work as long as the module is awake.
I think you should confirm ignition switch voltage at pins 15 and 18 of the BCM. That is probably wake up.
Longshot but I was thinking that there may have only been only one good ground at the DLC and with the scan tool plugged in it was shorting the 2 grounds together providing a ground back to a module. From what I can tell the grounds for the DLC go back to G102 and the only other module on that circuit, the ABS module, is spliced in at that ground so I don't think that's the case. I feel like it may be an issue caused by a weak power or ground. I was taught to check powers and ground with a sealed beam headlamp. If the circuit can flow enough amperage to light up a sealed beam brightly it should be able to power a module/ign switch. I'm curious to hear what ends up fixing this truck!
Thanx for all the help the fix was a (body control unit), got a used good unit replaced it all came alive, All power and grounds and voltage drops had been check prior.

I was not able to click the cross section tools after selecting the point cloud that I recently imported.
The other tools in surveying, like the surface analysis tool is able to use.
How can I use the cross section tool? Did I miss any steps before plotting the cross section?
in order to run the section tool in the Surveying menu (create along axis), you also need to select the path along which you want to create sections.
Otherwise, with only a point cloud selected, the tool allowing to create section cuts is in the menu Polyline / Planar section.
In a similar vein, I wish to create one section through a mesh. I want to drape this section on to the mesh. I see how to generate sections along a polyline, but not how to show just one. This line has a number of vertices and isn't straight.
When you say "drape this section on to the mesh", maybe what you are looking for is the projection tool: project a polyline onto a mesh (construct menu).
- projection direction: pick a direction if you know in which direction you want to project. Or use the 3d projection if you want the closest projection of each segment onto the mesh.
If this is not what you are looking for, let me know!


Disability insurance can be very useful. Statistics show that many people become disabled long-term before they reach retirement. However, disability insurance is big business, and like any other money-making venture, there are unscrupulous companies. It is very important that you work with a New Jersey long term disability attorney if you are defrauded.
They do not investigate a valid claim.
They pay an amount substantially lower than that stated in the policy.
They delay payments or deny them altogether, and for invalid reasons.
Make sure to research the company before signing any documents.
Ask questions in order to make sure you understand what the company claims it will provide.
Ask how long the benefits will last and how soon after a claim is submitted will the company begin paying out.
Ask how much of your salary, by percentage, will be paid out in disability payments.
Find out whether there is a waiting period after signing up before you can collect disability.
Go over the policy with your attorney to determine whether it reflects practices standard to the industry.
Review the policy carefully before signing.
Disability insurance fraud is a serious problem. If you believe yourself to be the victim of insurance company bad faith, call a New Jersey long term disability attorney at Uscher, Quiat, Uscher, & Russo, P.C. today: 800-797-5575.


Top of the Line Engineering - Best in Class!
The Vent-Tech Model SXG sewer valve combines all the features of our recent CARV designs, including superior sealing abilities and adequate compression ratio, with an innovative space saving float configuration. The design was optimized to enable its compact profile to be an excellent candidate for the replacement of failed cast-iron ball/lever type valves. The shorter design reduced the vacuum flow rating by ~15% compared to our full height SWG models, but given the SWG's exceptionally high flow, it is a small price to pay if space is a priority.


Recently, CoSN sat down with recipients of the Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) Seal to find out more about what they learned by going through the program. In this first in a series of short interviews, we bring you insight into how Bryon Kolbeck and David Koonce at Lewisville ISD worked through the application process to share their advice for future TLE Seal applicants.
Lewisville ISD sees data privacy as a critical issue, particularly given the district's commitment to using technology to enhance the learning process through a variety of digital instructional materials and devices. We viewed the TLE application process as an opportunity to perform an internal review/assessment of our data privacy/security efforts. We also wanted to provide our community with a respected external validation of our data privacy/security efforts so the TLE Seal itself was an extra incentive to complete the work. However, whether we were awarded the Seal or not, we valued the chance at receiving an external opinion/review/assessment of our data privacy/security efforts.
It goes back to the principle of the urgent vs. the important. Prioritizing and focusing on important tasks are always a challenge when facing the ever-present demands of the urgent. Also, data privacy responsibilities span many departments within the organization. It can be challenging to create a culture of responsibility surrounding data privacy.
The 25 practices defined within the TLE made us re-evaluate what we were doing in each area compared to the high standard set within the TLE framework. The breadth and depth of the TLE definition emphasized to us that student data privacy/security has to be a district-wide responsibility, not simply a Technology responsibility. As we gathered artifacts for the application, we began to document a more holistic view of the district's data privacy and security efforts. We reflected on the artifacts gathered and also self-assessed the current practice and how to make practices better in the future. This process raises awareness throughout the district and provides the groundwork for an ongoing action plan.
It's important to develop a culture of reflection. The team must take time regularly to look back, whether at a process or project, and review what could be done better. It's critical that team members feel safe discussing failures without feeling like there will be punitive consequences. The team will only improve when issues are honestly and openly discussed in the search for better solutions. As stated above, the self-reflection process of comparing current practices to the TLE framework helps us maintain a focus on improvement.
– Early in the application process, identify "owners" within your district of the TLE practices, and communicate expectations and timelines for documenting artifacts.
– Be intentional with your communication. Target communication to TLE practice "owners" for only the area they have ownership. This can reduce the risk of overwhelming people with communication and assignments not specific to their area of ownership.
Use a project management approach for the application process. Break down the application process into tasks, assign practice and task owners, and track progress towards completion. Have a single project manager for the application process that is responsible for tracking and coordinating the collection of artifacts for all practices.
Use the application process as an opportunity for reflection on current practices, identify areas for improvement, and take action (keep future artifacts in mind!).
Bryon Kolbeck is the Executive Director of Technical and Information Services for the Lewisville Independent School District (LISD). The LISD Technology Department supports a large 1:1 mobile learning initiative which includes over 50K iPads. Prior to his role in LISD, Bryon served as a district wide educational technology leader in Wisconsin for over 12 years. He has served in an advisory capacity for technology planning for the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, was the Co-Chair for the Professional Learning and Leadership committee of the Wisconsin chapter of CoSN. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Stout with degrees in Technology Education, has a Master's Degree in Career and Technical Education, and holds an Instructional Technology Coordinator administrative certificate.
David Koonce has been serving as a technology leader in Texas public schools for over 12 years. He is currently the Director of Technical Information Services for Lewisville ISD. David graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Computer Science. He is an active member of both the CoSN and TASBO professional organizations.


Scary Maze Game Reaction! Monitor Punch!
Video Title: Scary Maze Game Reaction! Monitor Punch!
This man pisses himself and punches the monitor.
lol, my friend actually got me with this years ago before i knew about it and i almost hit the roof.
Heard this was fake but I find this really funny.
One of the funniest videos I have ever seen on the internet.
Still one of the funnier videos on this web.
After seeing this video for two straight years, I still don't know if it is fake.
For one, I don't know how the monitor didn't just fall back instead of staying still when he punched it.
Second, he must have punched with all his might to go straight through like that, haha.
I remember seeing this like 2 years ago. I think people said it was fake. Its still really funny though.
I remember the first time i watched this and i laughed so hard. The gool ol' days.

The request failed: Google returned a response with code 429.

This, I believe, means you are issuing too many requests. There must be some restriction on how many requests you can make per some unit of time. So I reverted back to using a processing pool as before but modified the code as follows to catch the 429 exception. As you can see I am now getting nothing but 429 exceptions since I have probably in testing issued far too many requests. But you will need to research what the restrictions are on making requests (and possibly forgo multiprocessing).
from pytrends.exceptions import ResponseError
...

def collecting_data(index):

    try:
        pytrend = TrendReq()
        pytrend.build_payload(kw_list=[index])
        interest_over_time_df = pytrend.interest_over_time()
        interest_over_time_df.columns = ["Score", "isPartial"]
        returned_variable = interest_over_time_df.mean(axis = 0)[0]
    except (Exception, ResponseError) as e:
        print(f'collecting_data got exception for index {index}:', e)
        returned_variable = np.nan

    print("[ ]", index, " - processed")
    return (index, ("Score", returned_variable))

But almost every request ended with the Google 429 error:
collecting_data got exception for index VRANKEN-POMMERY: The request failed: Google returned a response with code 429.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2014
Perhaps I did not read the description of this product as carefully as I should before ordering this item but this turned out to be a collection of short stories by other authors rather than a collection of stories from Hellboy graphic novels. The description said the volume was illustrated by Mike Mignola but the illustrations are limited to one print at the start of each story and due to differences in the quality of paper between this volume and the Hellboy graphic novels, the illustrations do not the same pop as readers of the graphic novels might expect.

3.0 out of 5 stars uninspired fan fic (except Lansdale)
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2010
This book seemed like an interesting premise, but I wasn't in love with the execution. Most of the stories seemed to lack the spirit of Hellboy. The opening story by Joe Lansdale is the lone exception. His story is in a league beyond all of the others. It might be worth buying this book entirely for this alone. I thought China Mieville's story was clever and interesting, and there were a few stories that I thought were kind of okay from Ken Bruen, Brian Keene, Garth Nix, & Don Winslow. The rest of the stories just kind of made me sad, a few made me think the authors had never read the comic book, and at least two made me feel that the authors might owe me an apology.
I should give this two stars, but I will give it three entirely for Lansdale's sake.

This uncertainty is showing no signs of abating just yet. China recently proposed tariffs on US$60 billion worth of US imports in response to the Trump administration's plans to impose 25% tariffs on US$200 billion of Chinese imports.
According to ANZ's chief economist Richard Yetsenga, the trade issue raises important structural questions about the future sources of growth in Asia due to the potential for significant disruption to supply chains.
"One of the key drivers for Asia's success in the last couple of decades has been fragmentation of global supply chains as businesses are increasingly sourcing product from the most efficient places in the world," he said.
"Trade friction and tariffs start to push wedges into that seamless global supply chain story and that potentially challenges one of the key pillars of the emergence of the Asian economy."
Pivot to China
Indeed, in its July economic outlook the International Monetary Fund warned tariff increases by the United States and retaliatory measures by trading partners could derail economic recovery and depress growth in the medium term. It estimates global growth could fall by 0.5% or US$430 billion by 2020.
There are already signs of a gradual slowdown in the global economy with growth expected to hit 4.1% this year, then dropping to 4% in 2019 and 3.8% in 2020, according to ANZ's forecasts.
Global GDP Growth - Slowing Through 2019

However, the increased trade protectionism also comes at a time of China's growing assertiveness as an economic and political power. Its "Belt and Road Initiative" promotes deepening economic and financial ties between Asia, Africa and Europe, with billions of dollars in infrastructure investment.
The policy is certainly paying off, according to political risk consultant Eurasia Group's report titled Top Risks 2018, as governments across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and even Latin America are pivoting more toward China.
"No country today has developed as effective a global trade and investment strategy as Beijing," said Ian Bremmer, President of the Eurasia Group in the report. "China is writing cheques and creating a global architecture while others are thinking locally or laterally."
South East Asia - watching with interest
Other key South East Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines are watching the situation with interest, given trade wars and any impediments will limit economic growth in the region.
In a Bluenotes interview last year, Goh Chok Tong, currently Emeritus Senior Minister of Singapore and the city state's second Prime Minister, stressed the importance of Singapore expanding trade ties and offshore investments in the current environment.
"We cannot enlarge the domestic economy but we can enlarge the national economy – meaning Singapore investing outside Singapore," he said. "That is part of our economy – our investments in China, US, Middle East."
"One of the key drivers for Asia's success in the last couple of decades has been fragmentation of global supply chains as businesses are increasingly sourcing product from the most efficient places in the world"
Investors are trying to work out whether the current market condition is a short term effect of the Trump Administration. However ANZ's Yetsenga warns against such wishful thinking. "I think there is a bit of a myth that if Trump disappears in the next election it all will be OK." he said. "I think the reality is that there are a range of drivers here including technology."
"Technology has become an issue of national security for many countries and so you would expect, at the very least, that trade in technology will become increasingly more restricted."
Looking ahead, the key will be for Asia's economies to undertake the significant structural reform needed to meet these challenges to the global world order, according to ANZ's Yetsenga.
"Whether it's through monetary policy to stimulate growth, or demographics, or trade, countries increasingly need to look elsewhere. They need to look to their own armoury to drive growth. And structural reform is the main weapon there," he said.

Tech Eclipses China
China's rise was epochal but much of the impact was narrowly confined and has broadened only recently. Technology is challenging us much more fundamentally than China's economic ascent, confronting many of the ideas we see as foundational. Technology is genuinely disruptive.

Nothing says "I'm a humble cook" like shouting really loudly that this is the best recipe you'll ever eat! My bad. What can I say? There's bacon in it. And cream cheese. The goodness of this recipes has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with the amazing mixture of ingredients all rolled up in a tortilla.
This recipe is so easy that my kids made it on their own for our family to eat on Mother's Day. These can be made ahead of time – or at the very least, you can cook the bacon and prepare the tomatoes and lettuce so that you can put them together right before serving time.
The best part? Well…the bacon, duh. Yeah, but the other best part? These wraps really hit the spot on a hot day. There's minimal cooking involved, so the house won't heat up. Serve these with a variety of fresh fruit like pineapple, watermelon, or strawberries. Set out some sweet peppers, sliced cucumbers, and carrot sticks. What a wonderful, nourishing meal.
Mix cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
Stir in bacon crumbles and chopped tomatoes.
Sprinkle shredded lettuce on top evenly.
Cut each into 5 diagonal slices.
Tip: Make the cream cheese filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Then simply fill your tortillas at meal time, wrap, and serve! These work great for brunch, lunch, party, snack…pretty much any time.
What a great recipe! Unfortunately, my husband does not care for fresh tomatoes. Do you think I could substitute roasted red peppers? Or would that be too overpowering?
Sure, peppers would be a great addition, sweet or hot. :) I've left out the tomatoes entirely (without subbing anything else) for two of my kids who don't like tomatoes and that works fine too.
That sounds wonderful! My guys are going to love that one – anything with bacon in it.
Dumb question here, but when you say slice diagonally, does that mean you shouldn't cut them at a 90 degree angle to the roll? Do they turn out better that way? Thanks!!
Sounds yummy, just add some avocado & it would be delicious.
We ate these for lunch today and subbed hummus for the cream cheese/mayo combo (only because my son can't eat dairy). Very tasty!
We make these subbing salsa for the mayo, and add black beans for a "western wrap." YUM!!
I am curious how many this recipe would typically serve?
I knew this would make a great "don't want to heat he kitchen meal". However no one in my family likes tomatoes so I ended up making a chicken, bacon, ranch wrap. It was yummy. I added ranch dressing mix to the cream cheese/mayo mix and some chopped chicken! Thanks for the inspiration!
I pinned these a long time ago and finally made them tonight! They are yummy!

#LocalBusiness: Cadence 19 Productions
For eleven years, Brandon Dotson has been passionate about graphic design and printing. "I used to work at a print shop, where I learned the craft and fell in love with the creative side of things," he says. This love of design blossomed alongside the band he was once in with his business partner, Jon Mounts. "Jon realized he had an interest in filming, so he started doing research and buying equipment to learn the trade." The pair developed a passion for promoting local musicians and businesses, and Cadence 19 Productions was formed in Verner, West Virginia.
Cadence 19 Productions is a production company specializing in video production, graphic design, and music production. They have a recording studio, and are able to take video production on the road if necessary. "As far as graphic design, we do album covers, t-shirt designs, logo designs, etc," Brandon says.
Jon and Brandon enjoy seeing local businesses flourish. "We want to help businesses and highlight community events, because we feel like Mingo County, all of Southern West Virginia, and Eastern Kentucky have a lot to offer," Brandon says. "I feel like we can help, not just Williamson, but the surrounding areas by expanding their reach for customers, as well as showcasing our area to people who come in from out of state."

Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are arguably two of the biggest drivers of technical innovation in our day. As with previous technological advancements, these two fields are quickly building upon their past achievements (and in an accelerating fashion). Both herald an unprecedented rate of technological development far beyond their fields – and in the very near future as well.
If you're reading this blog, you likely understand what blockchain technology entails. For those that don't, a brief explanation will suffice. In short, a blockchain is a decentralized public ledger that chronologically records transactions and related information. Each transaction block is irrevocably validated in consecutive order, thus ensuring that the information recorded is unalterable and resistant to tampering. This immutable process is made possible through a variety of network consensus methods, from Proof of Work to our very own Proof of Signature. While cryptocurrency enthusiasts typically view blockchain technology strictly in terms of currency transfer, it also provides the basis for disintermediating contractual enforcement via "smart" contracts. With top-tier engineers, scientists, and businesses leaders flocking to advance both, blockchain technology promises to disrupt a wide variety of industries soon.
Few technologies have garnered as much attention (or captured our imagination as much) as AI. AI, or Artificial Intelligence, denotes computer systems able to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. Achieving this capability has been an ongoing desire since the advent of computing, from the extremely specific-purpose chess-bot to Google's new AI Personal Assistant. Nonetheless, these narrow purpose AI tools will eventually give way to True AI or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), machines that can successfully perform any human intellectual task.
True AI could well be the most important invention in human history, significantly reducing the time needed to perform everyday tasks and conceivably creating a post-scarcity economy. While this scenario is still a while off, AI is moving in that direction. However, its evolution will depend upon accessing a trusted source of data by all. Which is why blockchain technology may dramatically increase the benefits AI brings to the general public.
By using blockchain technology, scientists can record artificial intelligence memories within an immutable ledger. Doing so will ensure that the field retains reliable operating parameters. It will also increase security for AI, ensuring more than one instance of memory, with maybe a backup location or two located in a traditional database. This singular feature also enables users to confidently replicate and reuse the same AI data for scientific purposes.
However, even the best artificial intelligence programming is hostage to the quality of its data. As the saying goes, garbage input leads to garbage output. While the blockchain doesn't ensure access to high-quality data, it does ensure that such data is unalterable. Recording AI programming on the blockchain will not only help to eliminate single points of code failure, it will also provide AI professionals with a source of accumulated knowledge. Sure, the movies tend to sensationalize and oversimplify AI, most notably as a data tool easily altered to wipe out humanity. However, blockchain-secured programming would make it fundamentally impossible to modify AI.
Of course, developers would carefully need to vet such programming before placing it on the blockchain, as it would be immutable and used for encoding additional AI memories. And while validating future AI data (and revising it when necessary) might be problematic, we can certainly ensure that such data is safe from nefarious use.
Recording AI on the blockchain promises to help us better understand why the technology acts as it does. All that is required is for AI to record its decision-making processes as accessible memories. If everyone is using the same base data, researchers will be better equipped to deconstruct AI decision-making, thus helping them predict how AI might handle new situations. This doesn't just apply to the AGI discussed above, as simple machine learning tools could be significantly improved by analyzing their decision making as well. AlphaGo Zero, for example, is programmed with nothing but if-then rules and an ability to advance against itself. However, it has shortly surpassed any recognizable level of skill through simple self-learning. Now imagine that capability coupled with significantly increased computing power generated from around the world, openly available for other AI programs to learn from and improve. As you might imagine, such a development would be extremely beneficial to the AI field. Of course, as the real world does not typically follow clearly defined rules, advancing AI development in this manner might prove harder than imagined. Nonetheless, researchers believe that continuous machine learning will eventually lead to our first AGI. Placing such machine-learning results on the blockchain could prove invaluable for future AI development.
More importantly, a blockchain based solution for disseminating AI also allows for distributed ownership and control, enabling anyone able to help AI run and to vote on possible changes. This capacity may serve as a desirable safeguard in a future where AI is more or less running the world. A not insignificant achievement given that prominent individuals in related fields believe AI to be one of the more significant threats to our society. Indeed, AI has the potential be a terrifying weapon in the wrong hands. Being in the right hands, it may well thrust humanity into a new age of enlightenment. No matter AI's advantages, the technology will only be implemented if society can trust it. Fortunately, the decentralized blockchain offers a way out.
Of course, this all remains hypothetical, as such AI has yet to be realized (as is a blockchain capable of running AI). And yet, it's a necessary technology to consider. The ramifications of its use and future development are extraordinary. For now, however, blockchain enthusiasts are well advised to support continued AI experimentation, particularly as it relates to distributed computing and the blockchain.
