Everyone's Betting on AI...And They Just Might Be Wrong -"Computing Power Drives the Future: AI and the Next Big Thing" by William Meisel

Computing power has long grown at an exponential rate. That rapid advance has allowed digital systems to do more each year. Computer power crossed a major threshold when it made "Artificial Intelligence" driven by deep neural networks economically feasible. And huge investments are being made in ever-larger computer centers to support AI. This book challenges the assumptions behind those huge investments and explains why the generative AI that is making all the news is over-rated.

Computer power crossing a threshold allowed deep neural nets to be practical, and they have indeed been used effectively for many limited applications. Meisel discusses the "next big thing" that exponential growth in computer processing speed will allow. The book provides a realistic description of what we can expect as computer power grows ever more quickly than most past innovations, with major impacts on society, the economy, and competition between countries.

William Meisel, PhD, was an early researcher in AI, with an PhD dissertation on neural networks and an early book on computer pattern recognition, the latter while a professor of EE and CS at USC. He then applied those techniques as the head of the computer science division of a defense company for a decade. He then founded and ran Speech Systems Incorporated, developing speech recognition technology and applications, for a decade. He then published Speech Recognition Update, a monthly paid-subscription, no-ads newsletter on commercial developments in speech recognition and natural language processing for more than twenty years and held conferences on the subject. He was also Executive Director of the non-profit Applied Voice Input Output Society during this period.

He is currently an independent consultant and author. His recent books include Computing Power Drives the Future, The Lost History of Talking to Computers and Evolution Continues: A Human-Computer Partnership.

Are We Entering a 1,000-Year Age of Peace - "Where's Your Light?: Ascension Edition" by Douglas F. Grady

Apostle John's prophecy of the 1,000-year reign of peace, penned over two thousand years ago in his Book of Revelation, is a beacon of hope. As we stand on the threshold of the millennium, John's words guide us towards a future where the world transitions to a state of Heaven on Earth, the 'world to come,' a term in the Bible that refers to a future era of peace and harmony. This prophecy fills us with optimism and a sense of purpose as we ponder its implications on our current state of affairs.

As we step into the new millennium, the Apostle John's prophecy sheds light on the transformative changes awaiting our world. It not only answers the question of how the world can evolve into a more loving environment for the future but also ignites a sense of hope and anticipation about the speed of this transformation. Moreover, John's revelation about the end of control by the Dark Forces promises an end to the bloody conflicts and devastating turmoil that have marred human history, filling us with excitement and hope for the future.

Mr. Grady's spiritual journey is a unique and compelling one. In the fall of 1999, he underwent a profound spiritual baptism from God, a transformative event that led him to practice Self-Realization Fellowship. His journey began with meditation, which prepared him to receive the spark of love that engulfed his entire soul. His path led him to meet Apostle John through Marilyn Redmond for the Door to Glory book in 2011, and he has since published the book Where Is Your Light in 2023. We eagerly await his subsequent publication, The Incredible Journey of Our Savior.

You've Never Heard Mary's Story Told Like This - "Mary: Intimate Witness to God's Love Incarnate by Dr. Louis McCall"

Mary is about the mother of Jesus and the arc of her development from a peasant teenager to an icon in the church, to a bold witness of the Gospel who journeys from Jerusalem to Samaria, to the mostly Gentile church in Antioch of Syria, and finally to Ephesus, a major metropolitan city of Asia Minor. This book tells the story of Mary in the style as a memoir while still being faithful to the canon of scripture in the hopes that women who seek to have their voices heard in a male-dominated society will find inspiration and strength. Also, all readers will gain a new appreciation for the challenges and fears of Mary, her own need for a savior, and her development into an eyewitness to God's love through his Son, Jesus Christ. Mary shows how one woman can start out simply and yet become a giant of faith and a model of womanhood.

Louis McCall was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended Northwestern University where he received a Ph.D. Later, he also attended the National War College of the National Defense University. Louis was an Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University prior to a 36-year career in the U.S. Department of State, first as a Foreign Service officer and then as a foreign affairs Civil Service employee where he served as Consul General in Florence, Italy, Chargé d’Affaires in Brunei, U.S. Representative to the Republic of San Marino, and Assistant Inspector General. He lived in or worked in, at least temporarily, 60 countries on six continents. Whether in academia or as a diplomat, Louis found opportunities to live his faith, including part-time ministry of the good news in word and in song, including co-laboring with missionaries, national church leaders, and the underground church. When ministering early in his diplomatic career from the pulpit of a great church in Calcutta, India, Louis said to those in attendance that he had determined not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. That has been a commitment he has endeavored to keep over the years. In his final two years at the Department of State he organized and led the National Day of Prayer observances in the Department.

Now, in his new career as an author, he has the pleasure of greater freedom in sharing what God has placed in his heart. Louis is active simultaneously in two churches in Washington, D.C. One is a multi-site non-denominational church, where he is an elder, and the other a Catholic church where he is a regular cantor, though not a Catholic himself. He has managed this with the blessing and full knowledge of pastors and priests. This has been an outgrowth of his early association with a mixed protestant-Catholic charismatic house-based worship group, his association with the late Mother Teresa of Calcutta, his Catholic charismatic wife, and guest ministry in churches and bible schools of various denominations while living in or working in other countries.
