Self-Learning Artificial Intelligence

What is Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI):

We all have by now realised the ever-growing importance of and demand for Artificial Intelligence, beginning from the second half of 2024. Whether student or researcher, Google had always been our go-to alternative, when wanting to learn more. Of late, you would have realized, whenever you search Google, the first response is from Gemini 2.0 !!!

No, it is not the magic of logic, but it is the magic of what we now know is called "Generative Artificial Intelligence" or GenAI, for short. For example, observe these images, saved from my social media account(s):

The above images are samples of the Generative AI, which is what Meta AI is also based on. Basically, now your actions are recorded, whatsoever it may be that you like, for example, in my case it is Lord Vishnu & Devi Laxmi (including Lord Ram & Devi Sita and Lord Krishna & Devi Radha) and Mahadev and His family, including Devi Parvati, Lord Ganesh and His Ansh-Avatar Lord Hanuman. We can bet our bottom dollar, that unless you share the same beliefs as usual, you would never see these images, but will have seen images of your belief!!

To make us know what gives us an idea of how it works, observe the first and fourth images from above. Both are of Lord Shiv, or Mahadev, but have you ever seen Mahadev with more than four arms? Or a psychedelic Mahadev? Quod Erat Demonstrandum, folks!!

We absolutely adore Mahadev, and naturally would adore whichever Form He appears before us, and that exactly proves our point. AI knows Mahadev, His family and His history, for it has been well trained by it's creator(s), for they are none other than software developers like us!!

Likewise for Lord Vishnu, who has had Nine known avatars so far, and His 10th Avatar, Kalki, is reckoned to arrive when Kalyug deteriorates into it's lowest level of degradation into sheer depravity. Stories of His avatars are all over the internet, especially His Seventh, Lord Ram with Devi Sita, brother(s) Bharat, Laxman and Shatrughan forming the epic Ramayan. His Eighth, Lord Krishna, elder brother Balram and His love story with Devi Radha, His wife(s) Rukmini and Satyabhama; the Pandavas, Yudhishthir, Bheem, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev, who battled the Kaurav's led by Duryodhan, Dushyant and 98 other brothers in the mega epic Mahabharat. Though the battle lasted 18 days, a lot happened before, during and after the battle. For instance, the Chakravyuh and Abhimanyu, the battle of Arjun and Karan, the beheading of Shishupal, the end of Bhishma Pitamah, etc ,etc.

The teachings of Lord Krishna to his Parth, Arjun also form a beautiful part of this epic. "Karmanye Va Dhikaraste, Maa Phaleshu Kadachana" is the one verse that resounds in my mind, which basically means that a human being should only go about fulfilling his wordly duties, and should leave the awarding of the fruits of his labour to God!! 

No surprises, then, that I am blessed with their images, for that is what I have been wanting, liking and viewing, day in and day out!!

We have started self-learning both Artificial Intelligence and Python Programming from January 1st, 2025.

Our Digital showroom (https://www.vikramshankarmathur.link) is currently in an Advanced stage of refurbishment. Once that is complete, we have another surpise in stow for you!!

Good Evening!!

THEORY VS PRACTICAL:

One never knows what challenge life will throw at you next, and most importantly, when it decides to test your alertness. You have to be alert, like Virat Kohli remains alert at the crease, ready to swat the ball, which is intent on removing your stump (or just the bails balanced delicately atop).

One should create a habit of at least listening to what your seniors (s) tell you, even if the words are harsher than you would like. Because what experience teaches you, no amount of reading theories will!! That is why they say, that experience is the best teacher. 

Reading books will only enrich your knowledge, but unless you learn how to convert a theory, no matter how sound on paper, into a practical application, it remains just that, a theory.

To illustrate, let me explain with an example. Long ago, I used to teach a subject called SADP, short for "Systems Analysis & Data Processing" at the CA (Final) level. I was explaining the student the conceptual theory of a silicon conductor (chip, in layman terms) and I asked him if he has observed what happens when a tubelight is switched off after use? Next time, even you can observe, that the tubelight flickers until the remaining electric charge disperses completely. When the boy followed my instruction and temporarily turned off the tubelight, I explained that the silicon chip is popular in the computing industry for the reason that if you turn off the computer unexpectedly, the silicon chip retains enough charge to write back into the hard disk your last unsaved work. How else does Microsoft Excel present you unsaved versions of your active worksheet even though the electricity failure occurred unexpectedly?

Another last piece of advice to my younger and more enthusiastic fellow members: Never cross swords with the programmer who writes your VBA or Python code, because only he controls what will happen when, in your application!! It has happened with me, though being an ethical hacker (post my FAFP certification in 2016), I was able to catch the error and forced my programmer to suitably amend the code!! :-) :-).

But you may not be so lucky: Better safe than sorry, as they say!! The graphic below has been amended by me to remove references of unwanted variety. Plus, I can now promote, as a #freelancer, my website, www.cavsm1962.co.in - safely!!
