He wrote Captain and Commander correct?

Watching the original Star Trek. Unreal given the time frame it was made in.

Won't be surprised if he agrees. I know he's not happy at Inter. And I had no idea Stramaccioni was in Czech now.

It was the best of out 6, done back in the 90's. The first series Kasparov won, but he lost the second. The second set were the one televised here in America, and Kasparov had MATE IN 3, missed it, and ended up losing the match. He has sense referred to it as the biggest blunder in his career. To put that in perspective, if you download the latest version of Grandmaster on your photo, the processing power on that alone is enough that it would have beaten Big Blue and any human ever. Kasparov has teamed with some of the best chess players in the world for a team event where its' human vs machine, and they, as a collaborated effort, can't beat the latest chess technology. It's unbelievably fascinating.

Kasparov lost to deep blue, so my guess is that if they were to hold that match today, or even use Magnusson, that the human wouldn't have a chance.

Exactly. I love technology and always enjoy reading about the new endeavors and things we are able to do now, that we weren't before, thanks to AI and machines. However, soon enough ours wars will be started with machine vs machine, we will have a total disconnect of what it is to be a free thinking individual. Or at least that's the fear. I find myself curious about war. I think we are a species are quicker to go to war with someone because we have upgraded form the swords and bows and arrows, into long range rifles, missiles, and long range technology. We forget what it's like to kill someone in war, and the seriousness of it since nowadays you can do it from 1,000 miles away without dealing the the visual, mental, or other stress related to it. So, while it's fascinating for me, it's also scary as I would suggest we are quickly becoming more reactionary, and making quick, deadly decisions, without talking and trying to solve issues without blood shed.

I have been doing some reading, and listening to different podcasts on this topic, and the invitable future that we face where certain jobs will become obsolete for humans, as machines with A.I. will be safer, quicker, and just more efficient (and cheaper!). Of course, more jobs will likely open up, at least that's the assumption, but to this day I can't think of a lot areas in which new jobs will be created if/when this really starts become the norm. Does any of this ever freak you out? With having a baby on the way, I have caught myself numerous times thinking what kind of world my daughter will have. So, discuss all things A.I., pros and cons.

This is surely over now. Murray goes up 4-1 in the 4th set and is about to break Kei again. Murray vs Stan should be a good semi.

Nishikori needs to be careful otherwise this 4th set could be a quite and painful one.

Absolutely love this song.

Nishikori has fallen apart in this tie breaker. Murray up 5-0 and serving for the set.

Kei breaks. Tie Breaker time. C'mon Nishikori!

Murray serving to win the 3rd set and up for 2-1.

And Kei breaks back.

Damnit. Murray breaks Kei in the 3rd set.

Except the only thing that could slow down Fed and Nadal were injuries. Djokovic just isn't hitting with the same pace or intensity. He may get it back, but this looks to be more mental than anything, and that can be a lot harder to recover from.

Thiem is a damn monster this year. I wonder if this is it for Novak winning Majors. If this Nadals to lose.

Here is one of the family. Wife and I are on the far right (in case you weren't sure). That my Mom in the middle, sister, and Brother-in-Law. Me with some of my guys and our dogs. Then another one of the missus and I.

Nice! I've been in the mood for some Sci-Fi, so I'll need to add this to my list of books.

How was it? Started this Last week.

Overcast day, which is great for tennis. Was kind of hoping for another day off after my 7 matches this weekend, but it wasn't meant to be.

Here are some photos from my tennis tournament this weekend.

Hated seeing fellow Inter support Fognini go out to Stan. Expected, but still disappointing.

@Cannabis Do you confirm?
