When feverish and hungry, follow your instincts.  They are raw and ready to be used when sick. Moist, piping hot chicken slathered in a spicy bbq sauce Wrap in a soft, refrigerated taco shell nestled in a bed of snappy spinach Drink warm water or tea Eat when fluctuating between hot and cold.  The meal matches… Continue reading Cooking when Sick

Emotions and AI

Love and multiagent systems and AI in general…  Love can motivate and inspire us.  The affects are incorporated into an agent’s utility function and it affects the perceived costs versus actually costs.  It is a lens with which agents could view the world.  Is this emotion necessary for AI to function appropriately?  What emotions are necessary?

Modern Jukebox

The modern jukebox should be an app and people can pick the song to listen too from their personal device.  Could have a voting based or purchase based.  Then I can listen to the music I want when I’m at the school cafeteria, at a restaurant, or the mall.  Could get “tokens” for playing music while… Continue reading Modern Jukebox
