Our Mushy Microplastic Brains

Microplastics aren’t just in our oceans — they’re in our food, water, clothes, and even our brains. Studies now show that the average human brain is 0.5% plastic, with devastating effects on fertility, cognition, and overall health.

In this episode, I sit down with Kim Bright to expose how deep the problem goes, why it’s accelerating, and what we can actually do to protect ourselves and our families. Here’s more from Man in America.

Artificial Intelligence: Retarded

Clif High explains how artificial intelligence is retarded. He creates an example involving an AI version of The Woodpecker And The Fox, sort of a cartoon takeoff on The Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote.

This is Cliff’s latest installment in his ongoing series — Explorers’ Guide to Sci-Fi World.

Artificial Intelligence=Retarded

Artificial intelligence isn’t nearly as advanced as a lot of people fear.

AI doesn’t really understand or interpret spoken language, but simply follows what are called “neural nets.” The “neural net” doesn’t exist within a broader mind, and thus,  artificial intelligence doesn’t actually think at all. Nor can AI count or do math. Or accumulate or add.

So while you can write code to allow artificial intelligence to do some sophisticated analysis, and perform accounting tasks, you can’t — at this point — rely on artificial intelligence for cognitive purposes. Thus, it often produces bogus and unreliable results. Here’s more from Clif High in a new Explorers’ Guide to the SciFi World video.
