Artificial Intelligence: Apple Plans To Bring AI To Your Phone

    The entire globe seems to be obsessed with artificial intelligence.  Now Apple has released their plans to bring AI to your personal cell phone.

    Craig Federighi, Apple’s head of software, is tasked with keeping a wellspring of new ideas flowing. One of his main strategies is to get more app developers to use artificial intelligence tools such as recognizing objects in front of an iPhone’s camera. The hope is that will spawn a new generation of ideas from Apple’s ecosystem of outsourced innovation.

    But not everyone is overly excited about the push to continue to better artificial intelligence technology.  Most believe it will lead to a rather obsolete future for humanity and the ultimate nail in the coffin of the middle class.

    “We have such a vibrant community of developers,” Federighi says. “We saw that if we could give them a big leg up toward incorporating machine learning into their apps they would do some really interesting things.” Those busy creating AI seem to think its a good idea but the father of modern AI says singularity is not that far away.

    Singularity is the point in time when humans can create an artificial intelligence machine that is smarter than they are. Ray Kurzweil, Google’s chief of engineering, says that the singularity will happen in 2045.  Louis Rosenberg claims that we are actually closer than that and that the day will be arriving sometime in 2030. MIT’s Patrick Winston would have you believe that it will likely be a little closer to Kurzweil’s prediction, though he puts the date at 2040, specifically.

    At Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday, Federighi revealed the next phase of his plan.  He wants to “enliven” the app store with AI. It’s a tool called Create ML that’s something like a set of training wheels for building machine learning models in the first place. In a demo, training an image-recognition algorithm to distinguish different flavors of ice cream was as easy as dragging and dropping a folder containing a few dozen images, and waiting a few seconds.

    According to Wired, Apple is far from the first tech company to release software to help developers build machine learning models. Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have all done so, with Google’s TensorFlow being the most popular. Federighi claims none easily fit into an app developer’s regular workflow, limiting machine learning’s potential. “We’re really unleashing this capability for this vast developer community,” he says.

    But at what cost to humanity?

      1. I’ve got an IPhone but I don’t want that AI crap. If I have to give up having a phone then so be it. I wonder if they meant installing it on future models of the iPhone or all of them. The article didn’t say.

        • DID YOU KNOW THAT SPAIN AND ITALY HAVE PRONOUNCED IQ GRADIENTS? THE BASQUE AND CATALONIAN REGIONS AND SOUTH TYROL AND MILAN ARE THE SMARTEST AND WEALTHIEST. THIS IS BECAUSE 1 MILLION BLONDES WERE TAKEN AS SEX SLAVES FROM SOUTHERN EUROPE. THATS ALSO WHY THERE ARE NO BLONDES IN THOSE AREAS TODAY.

          THE MORE WOMEN ARE IN AN ORGANIZATION, THE MORE OBLIVIOUS TO REALITY AND FOCUSED ON SILLINESS IT IS.

        • I WANT TO GO TO THE SAN FERMIN FESTIVAL AND RUN WITH THE FUCKING BULLS SOMEDAY

          PAMPLONA FUCK YEA

          THE COPS WONT LET ANYBODY DRUNK IN THE BULL RING

          WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO FIGHT A BULL SOBER?

        • Cuz the family always said you had Artificial Intelligence.

        • Here is a Total BS Statement: The entire globe seems to be obsessed with artificial intelligence.

          No the truth is, that is what AI Marketer’s want you to believe. More fake data.

          HERE ARE SOME FACTS TO CONSIDER:
          80% of Africans don’t even have electricity.
          25% of the worlds populations have no access to electricity.
          60% of the global population still has no access to toilets.

          Water problems affect half of humanity:
          •Some 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water, and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation.
          •Almost two in three people lacking access to clean water survive on less than $2 a day, with one in three living on less than $1 a day.
          •More than 660 million people without sanitation live on less than $2 a day, and more than 385 million on less than $1 a day.
          •Access to piped water into the household averages about 85% for the wealthiest 20% of the population, compared with 25% for the poorest 20%.
          •1.8 billion people who have access to a water source within 1 kilometre, but not in their house or yard, consume around 20 litres per day. In the United Kingdom the average person uses more than 50 litres of water a day flushing toilets (where average daily water usage is about 150 liters a day. The highest average water use in the world is in the US, at 600 liters day.)
          •Some 1.8 million child deaths each year as a result of diarrhoea
          •The loss of 443 million school days each year from water-related illness.
          •Close to half of all people in developing countries suffering at any given time from a health problem caused by water and sanitation deficits.
          •Millions of women spending several hours a day collecting water.

          Number of children in the world 2.2 billion Number in poverty, 1 billion (every second child)Shelter, safe water and health
          For the 1.9 billion children from the developing world, there are:
          •640 million without adequate shelter (1 in 3)
          •400 million with no access to safe water (1 in 5)
          •270 million with no access to health services (1 in 7)
          Children out of education worldwide 121 million Survival for children Worldwide,
          •10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (same as children population in France, Germany, Greece and Italy)
          •1.4 million die each year from lack of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation
          Health of children
          Worldwide,
          •2.2 million children die each year because they are not immunized
          •15 million children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS (similar to the total children population in Germany or United Kingdom)

          Rural areas account for three in every four people living on less than US$1 a day and a similar share of the world population suffering from malnutrition. However, urbanization is not synonymous with human progress. Urban slum growth is outpacing urban growth by a wide margin.

          Approximately half the world’s population now live in cities and towns. In 2005, one out of three urban dwellers (approximately 1 billion people) was living in slum conditions.

          In developing countries some 2.5 billion people are forced to rely on biomass—fuelwood, charcoal and animal dung—to meet their energy needs for cooking. In sub-Saharan Africa, over 80 percent of the population depends on traditional biomass for cooking, as do over half of the populations of India and China.

          In 2005, the wealthiest 20% of the world accounted for 76.6% of total private consumption. The poorest fifth just 1.5%:

          ***YET THIS ARTICLE CLAIMS AND TRIES TO GET YOU THE IGNORANT READERS TO BELIEVE – The entire globe seems to be obsessed with artificial intelligence.

          WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL????

          • True dat!

            • Artificial Intelligence is on the Agenda list for the 2018 Bilderberg Conference. Watch this video for the list of items on their agenda.

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZOnHNyZ9kA

        • No worries. They will never achieve true AI. They would have to literally create a life form that was digital. Machines have to be taught exactly how to think and how to learn. Every, specific scenario has to be covered. There is no way for them to design a machine or program that can actually think, learn and increase it’s own power by itself. It would be a digital lifeform. It will never happen.

          That’s why we’re seeing new terms like “machine learning” coming out now. I think they’ve realized this. Making machines and programs APPEAR to be intelligent and more functional on their own is doable and we will soon see great strides in that direction. Just not true AI.

      2. Artificial Intelligence. Please send some to DC, because there is none there.
        Sgt.

        • Sarge, I thought everyone and everything in DC were ALREADY artificial, LOL! I doubt if any kind of intelligence would help them anyway.

          • I live in the burbs south of it and it’s not much better there. I am finally in a position to work on getting out to where real people live. And, my son is finally in on the idea. Woo hoo!!! or is that yahoo!! 😀

      3. not sure I go all in on the AI hype I know phone does weird shit. But hey what are you gonna do? Who the hell had a land line anymore and if you do how often does it ring ? Believe me I wish I could toss this thing in a River. I don’t believe anyone in my generation will see true AI. And if we do we’re gonna be to old and feeble to do anything about it.
        Hopefully there are still enough common sence people to hold back the tide at least for a while.our kids and grandkids will get the brunt of that mess I’m sure

        • Who has a land line? I have one and don’t plan on getting rid of it. It almost always works during and after hurricanes when everything else, including cell service, has failed.

          I don’t have to worry about AI on cell phones, as I don’t use one.

          Also, I get calls almost every day on my land line phone. If that’s the number you give to people, that’s the number they call.

          You can toss your cell phone any time you wish.

          • On landline–me too. I don’t have any callers, but telemarketing, so I only answer to one ring/hangup and call husband when he does that.
            My phone has rung twice in two weeks!!

            I have a tracfone when I am away from the house for emergencies.
            $80 a year ain’t bad. I can text, send picture/message–it works for me, but I have no friends, relatives, or work conrades to call.
            Right, the landline needs no power to work.

        • I agree. AI will never happen. It’s not possible.

      4. AB, I don’t go for any of the AI crap, robots, etc. I’d actually be glad for an EMP to come along and zap this damn thing. I’m sick of all the BS out here.

      5. RELLIK is either a liar or just plain stupid.

        Mac, I don’t think he lives there. If he does, lets wish him a good one. Sorry but Rellik has been lying to SHTF. I heard some damning info. I talked about that water table 2 weeks ago didn’t I. WATCH THIS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. THIS IS THE BIG ONE.

        Rellik, the fake troll is a stupid dumbass. Now that I just heard that the largest, and most massive lake in Hawaii has sunk, since its the water table below the surface of the crustal areas of that region, and only a limited source is fresh water is available from rain water for the last 12,000,000 years that settled there, that had made its way down deep underground, Yes that’s the water table I am talking about.

        I live in Hawaii you stupid moron and idiot HCKS. Yea right Rellik. The media will not let out this story yet, but watch the entire island of Hawaii get evacuated. Good luck trolls, as for you Jim in Va, you are going to see this happen, and you will be laughed at on this site. This is the the year that my scientist friend told me about. The (let them learn and stop posting), you just beating up yourself. You put classified info on this site and get attacked. Let them learn. You want to know whats going to happen, just read my past post for the last 2 years. With the none of what you said ever happened, and you think Planet X just disappeared eh. I guess we just have to wait and see.

        Rellik, if this idiotic clown lives there, you wont ever hear from him on this site coming up soon.

        Mac, if you reading. Pay attention to what I posting very carefully. Your going to see everything I have been posting happen. How bad is it, I’ll be out of here by the end of September this year. These guys posting are idiots. This is why I am posting info for only you to read now. They think this is all fake info. Its not Mac, what I am posting will happen. A Massive tital wave will Hit the New York coast, the plates are shifting in that area of the continent. NY will have a 100ft of water in the city center right up in the center when this one goes up, same think in cali. America will never recover from any of this. I am just telling you what I know.

        HCKS.

        • HCKS,
          According to you I only have about 6 weeks to live.
          Show a little patience, you may be right.

      6. Hcks…you just don’t quit do you? you’ve left this site for good a couple of times but you just can’t let it go. Shame you have to pick on Rellik who lives there and is close and personal to whats happening. You blow up thousands of miles away about this. Now why would anybody take your word over his?

        • J in VA.
          Thank you.
          Nail knew a lot more people being affected than me. He grew up
          here. My acquaintances are doing OK.
          I don’t have an ash problem, but they do.
          As for HCKS he is a hoot!
          This is a public forum and you have
          to take it that way.
          I comment on the China Peoples daily online,
          you would not believe what they say.
          about Americans!

          What is good about this SHTF site is occasionally
          you pick up some good advice.
          One commenter saved me thousands of dollars
          on a solar project.
          Someone suggested how to grow potatoes which I am
          doing based on stuff I read here.
          I don’t know how long I’ve been posting here,
          reading Acid etch or HCKS,
          but, I think it is a good return on time investment.
          You just have to separate the wheat from the chaff.

      7. HCKS; New York and California huh? Science fiction!

        • Jim and Rellik, HCKS is good for some laughs but that’s it. Remind me to never try whatever he’s smoking, LOL. Both of you are two of the BEST posters here.

          • DB,
            I only worry about Mac shutting off the
            more vocal guys here. I think Nail, Ketch
            and you of course are really good.
            I don’t claim to be the best poster, as I’m not,
            but Ketch, myself and et al are dealing with real
            natural disasters. Ketch more so than me.

            I’ve been to Houston and understand why HCKS is
            a little “off” sometimes.

            Have a good one!

            • Rellik, I’ve been to Houston once in my younger days, LOL. You DO have to be off to live there.

      8. I live on the big island like rellik probable not far from him. HCKS is full of it. Even if Kīlauea goes ballistic it still won’t effect every part of the island and there is no way I’m evacuating I have everything I need. Now if the Hilina slump goes I’ll feel sorry for Oahu and the west coast but it still won’t get me. Actually the mainland is going to be in a worse position if things go down. The big island is probably one of the safest places to be as long as your in the northern half and self sufficient.

      9. They want human like robots. It’s the socialists wet dream. You will be out of a job and end up a ward of the state because you won’t be able to provide for yourself. Corporations and gov will own the robots thus control the means of production. It is sold to us by saying it will free you up to persue personal goals by relieving you of monotonous tasks like working. People will see that they can be lazy and live the good life. They will be sold out to the beast system through microchipping anyone who refuses to be chipped at first will be denied the basic universal income or welfare as I call it from the gov. The Orwellian nightmare is just in its infantcy we haven’t seen shit yet. The state will own everything that you have but the clothes on your back. Everything will be provided based on loyalty to the state and this will dictate your social status as well. There will be no alternative media countering the mainline propaganda that dictates the agenda for everyone on earth. Global power will be consolidated under the worldwide federation. Social status will dictate how much is spent on your medical needs. Nursing homes will continue to rob the elderly of their life savings when they have gotten every last dollar care will be reduced to speed their demise just as they do now. Today’s working class and poor people will live in stack and pack housing projects they will be banned from using a charcoal grill and growing vegetable plants in pots. You will not be able to stock up on food cus you will be rationed. You won’t be able to hunt animals for food because they will be protected property of the state and you won’t have any kind of weapons that shoot projectiles such as guns bows even throwing knives. Companies won’t produce and sell weapons because they would be shut down by the state and fined so severely that no one will bother. No one will live in rural areas or be allowed to go into these areas anyone caught in rural areas will be shot on the spot.

      10. I went down to fill up my water jugs and there were three different Chinese people waiting to fill up theirs. So I walked into Harbor Freight to pick up something only to arrive at the cash register with two Chinese men in front of me and another at the register to the side. Is a Chinese invasion underway?

        • Around my area it’s the damn mexicans everywhere not the chinese.

      11. The 5G towers and similar smaller installations spreading across America from what I am reading should be a concern. On poles in front of houses without any regard for public approval or of the danger said to exist. A huge tower a few blocks away. This could very well be a control and spying mechanism forcefully placed upon peoples health and well being noting that strong microwaves interfere with brain and bodily functions. Right under our noses the telecommunication industry and government likely have nefarious plans for human control and induced sickness. Google and facebook are CIA assisted creations.

        • 5G needs to be banned. What I have read so far ut puts iff a lot of RF Radiation like Smart Power Meters whic is causing cancer. Imagin living in the City whete tgere is so mych mass Radiation at every housr. Folks this is planned Genicide that kills your sperm and egg reproduction capabilities. Ditch all this BD tracking mind reading technology and move to the Country ASAP. LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. OR REMAIN IN THE CITIES AND DIE.

      12. A.I. sounds like something the Bilderbergs would be pushing on us. Can’t trust it.

      13. THE ENVIRONMENT.

        Real preppers, please listen to me. I am trying to help you all. I am warning you all again, its the environment. Prep and prepare to strategically relocate.

        Mac, just watch what’s going to go down. Check my past post. Economic collapse between 2018-2025. Destruction of the environment from Natural causes. THE ENVIRONMENT, THE EARTHS ENVIRONMENT. Mac, this phrase was the BUZZ words. The UN will use this for the perfect excuse with the chi-coms, Russians another nationals to take down the US. Yellow stone is the major flash point. Cali will be first, then NY, then Yellowstone. Hawaii Mac, the whole island is the earths biggest most massive volcano on the planet, when continental shifts occur from extra Class M, means Massive planets that supports life, when these are causing planets to wobble, and the sun is behind the behavior of planets, we have a problem. BIG FRIKIN PROBLEM. We are in the end times now.

        Stupid people:

        I am not even going to respond to these two idiots rellik and jim in va, and the other like them. Look at what Aljamo just posted. Even he is seeing something that got his attention. Hard core facts coming from him of all people.

        I don’t have time to respond to stupid people. Just look at the stupid comments these two idiots are posting, constant attacks on my credibility. This is becoming obvious now. You see that they are trolls, have always been trolls, doing everything to get me off this site. That dumbass rellik does not even live I Hawaii. his lying sack of shit. Legitimate preppers reading my post, keep prepping, and begin to relocate if you can. I am doing it, its that serious. Old guy asked me once, that he taught I would have already bailed from Houston. And now I have to. Old Guy, yes, i am leaving. I know you don’t like me, and keep attacking me, but man, i am leaving.

        Mac, I am pissed off that I have to leave Houston, But I was here when Harvey flooded out the city. Military jets and shinnock helicopters were airborn all over my city and Patriots started going into camo on the north side of town. People were permanently taken by UN soldiers and have disappeared. Believe me Mac that I heard about this stuff in my city. It was that bad. They curfewed in the city, sent cops out at night arresting regular people. I have decided to leave, my scientist friend is bailing and heading to the area that he is heading to. Houston, take a look at the Texas map to see Houston, its below sea level. THE SCIENTIST IS LEAVING HERE. Most residence are too stupid to know this and we ended up like a lake during Harvey. Once the gulf floor breaks completely open, we will get a sunami here, the water will be over 25ft high in the downtown areas, but will eventually run off. Once the Gulf plate collapses in, the underwater volcano in our gulf erupts,it will then rise up from the Ocean, and form a massive mountain in the gulf. This will occur over a time period to remain permanently and will cool down in another 100,000 years. I wont be around to give a rats ass. Houstonians are in deep shit. So it’s time for me to leave. The volcano will dump out the bullshit cap that put it. It already ejected and our gulf water is over 120′ and boiling. The air from the south is extremely hot and the people in our city don’t know why, it the water temperature causing the problem here in the city. Too much moisture, the humidity is higher than average, its extremely hot here right now. 2018-2025. Mac, I will keep in touch once I get up to the north side of the state. I am out of town every weekend, its been brutal since I have to sure where I want to rent my house, and in which small city. My woman is pissed and she knows know that I can be trusted, she gets to hear a lot of shit and knows better now. I make money, she does not have to work.

        HCKS.

        THE ENVIRONMENT, THE ENVIRONMENT, THE ENVIRONMENT.

      14. AI machine smarter than me? give me hammer and that overpriced phone and that pos wont even be smart enough to know how to run away!

      15. I for one, do not need a smart(er) phone or anything
        else. My computer can’t be smarter, or it would
        destroy globalist ideology.
        The ideal new computer/phone…..?? One that tells you
        who is using your info, what they want it for… and
        what it is, invasive or friendly.
        Mine is supposed to work for my safety and security….
        but of course it never has.
        It just gives me a false sense of security.
        We are in fact the enemy…. our phones are designed to spy,
        on us… by the globalist, communist, deep state government.

      16. HCKS.. me of all people, lmao. I do post a lot about things I read about, other things just personal observations. Isn’t that what everybody does? Like why has the US been slaughtering the citizens in Syria that goes completely unreported in the US media? That reveals the lying media in lockstep cahoots with Trump and his warmongering sidekick cabinet, hardly the fake news hellbent on bringing down Trump. This president says he has the absolute right to pardon himself, that would be an admission that he is guilty and places himself above the law. Everybody comfy with that?

      17. @Thar she blows:
        The argument that a huge percentage of people don’t even have access to electricity to rebut the feasibility of AI is misplaced. The threat is real and directed against people like you and me.

        The globalists are not the least bit concerned about these nomadic people you mention. Instead, it is those that already have access to the internet, transportation, information, even guns and gold that are the concern because they can pose as an obstacle if they become aware of what is really going on. Globalists want to duming down and disrupt of the western populations (Cloward -Piven) through mass migration and more subtly through what is essentially subsidized indoctrination disguised as “higher education” (easy loans which will be later be defaulted on by the masses is a clever trojan horse for free education- again for the purposes of indoctrination).

        Artificial Intelligence is a cleverly marketed “gimmick”, thinly disguised as a trojan horse, to trap those “connected” educated iPhone/grid owners- in theory, those who could be the best informed and able to resist the globalists.

        Indeed, I attended my daughter’s 9th grade awards ceremony yesterday. The good news? She got all A’s, and special honors in science and math. The bad news, in her class of 360 students, 70 were on the AB honor roll and another 40 received all A’s also- grade inflation and degradation of academic performance to give the parents the impression their child is doing well. She is not. She is getting dumber. I see her level of performance when I check her homework. I am now in the uncomfortable position of having to inform her that just as she is now learning about all this LGBTQ crap instead of critical economics, energy requirements for economic sustainability, critical thinking, etc.,
        (see Charles Hughes Smiths latest article)

        http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-three-crises-that-will-synchronize.html

        her education is being subtly degraded by the appearance of these “participation grades.” More homeschooling this summer to hopefully set her straight.

      18. Artificial intelligence isn’t bad by itself;it’s a tool. The thing to fear is the combination of human and artificial intelligence. Specifically, when people out to abuse the rights of others, can use artificial intelligence to carry it out. Artificial intelligence creates the ability of a relatively few people to monitor and control a much larger number. That’s the danger of artificial intelligence.

      19. HCKS..nothing new under the sun and everybody of age knows it. Everyone will follow along their path to their questionable future.

      20. Trust me Aljamo, your right on the money about the current events. Same shit from the past two administrations, not a damn thing has changed. It’s environmental destruction and nothing but civil, revolutionary and intercontinental war, locally and globally, between now and 2025. Another massive war is fixing to bust out, on a major front, something I heard. This is what my source told me, something huge, and very big one. Not sure which countries are involved. And your right everyone of us, our future is questionable? It can hit us anytime in this country. When I see the shit that rellik and jim in va are posting, the constant attacks on me as if they are so sure about everything. This website is for reporting negative futures and outcomes, not feel good porn fake ass bullshit. If you posters on here don’t like the content, then read yahoo and msn. These stupid ass bitches all they can do is brag about what clothes they are wearing, who is fucking who and what not,.but the stupid public does not know that those people have tickets to underground bases, and paid shills that are on agency payroll to bullshit the media masses. Everywhere you look, ass and tits shots all over, you cant even log onto yahoo without some add with a some model in panties, some add posing on your page, with these commercial techno bitches. That shit does not work on people like me. You guys would not believe the things I get to hear. It has kept me up all night sometimes and I cant even sleep because of the content. Now I decided to act, and get the fuck out of town while its still safe to do so.

        HCKS.

      21. HCKS.. I read that short CHS article. It takes 137,000 Venezuelan bolivar to equal 1 US dollar. Wow, were rich! How could a nation like Venezuela with those huge oil reserves be such a financial calamity? Maybe because of the privitization of their oil giving the worldwide oil giants who were kicked out the middle finger and in return are not able to sell it as retribution. You have to stand up for your principles while you are bullied and your people stare to death under threats by the beasts. The entire Earth’s oil belong to the NWO. Syria more proof, hell the entire middle east.

      22. Yawn…….

      23. I put a dog whistle app, on an old, now-broken phone.

        (I am told the whistles are cruel. I can’t or shouldn’t buy one. I don’t want to permanently damage aggressive dogs, if not necessary.)

        I keep the thing off, as a matter of habit. I don’t care to be contacted, when I don’t care to be contacted. If I seriously need the thing, like during an emergency, I want it to have power. It is always kept off.

        Clearly heard the noise, when dogs barked. I go to turn it off, and it is still off.

        It can listen.

        I find, that verbal guarantees and instructions are typically worthless, over the phone. These are mainly childrens’ toys, for digital games, and not for grown, adult business. I go for many weeks without using it.

      24. Apple and the droidians have ALREADY brought AI to your phone.

        Who they fooling?

        At a certain point, we all will get rid of them all before they assimilate us like the Borg. A network without people to network “on” will cease to exist.

        If half of us canceled our cable (or all of us!) a lot of them powers that be would stop making money.

        If we cancel it all, AI becomes canceled.

        Think about it.
