    You are probably not aware, because of their hidden nature, but artificial intelligence systems are all around you affecting some of the biggest areas of your life—jobs, loans, kids, mental health, relationships, freedoms, and even healthcare decisions that can determine if you live or die. As an executive working in AI at one of the largest, most sophisticated tech companies on the planet, Cortnie Abercrombie saw firsthand how the corporate executives and data science teams of the Fortune 500 think about and develop AI systems. In this book she makes it easy to understand how AI works and unveils what companies are doing with AI that can impact you the most. Most importantly, she offers practical advice on what you can do about it today and the change you should demand for the future. 
     
     
     
    This book addresses the pressing questions that non-insiders want answered, including: how does AI work (in words you don't need a PhD to understand)?; how can AI affect my job, replace me, or prevent my hire?; is AI involved in life-or-death decisions in healthcare?; could my digital accounts or home network be hacked because of my AI-based smart TV, coffeemaker, or robot vacuum?; how does AI know so much about me, what does it know, and can it be used against me?; can it manipulate people to do things they wouldn't normally?; and much more.

  • Control irritable bowel syndrome with hypnosis - cover

    Control irritable bowel syndrome...

    Who is this hypnosis for:If you have been diagnosed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome and:- medication has not worked for you or- you want to avoid medication and find a more natural way to deal with the IBS symptoms... this hypnosis will be useful.It will help you soothe your symptoms (stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation) and, if used regularly, it will support your healing.How it works:As you probably know, there is no physical cause for the IBS symptoms, our intestines simply stop functioning harmoniously. Medication is hardly helpful, as it will usually address the effects of this disturbance but not its cause.Because of this, the diagnosis is never pleasant. Living with the ailment can be quite a challenge (disturbing our work, relationships, free time). Yet, here is a piece of good news:While all our body parts are responsive to hypnosis, our digestive tract is much more so. It has been discovered that there is a deep connection between our brain and our digestive tract. The latter even contains about 100 million nerve cells and some call it our "abdominal brain".This means that it is entirely possible for our intestines, when given the right suggestions under trance, to calm down. With its intelligence and sensitivity, our digestive tract picks up the positive message and slowly shifts back into normal functioning, while the unpleasant symptoms ameliorate or disappear completely.This 29 min hypnosis is designed for this.My recommendation: try if for 3 days (once a day, at a time convenient for you). If you feel it is working for you, continue with it on a daily basis – this way, you will consolidate the results and support your healing.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiLife-Coach, MDHypnotherapy, NLP and Meditation Training

    The Pine Barrens

    Most people think of New Jersey as a suburban-industrial corridor that runs between New York and Philadelphia. Yet in the low center of the state is a near wilderness, larger than most national parks, which has been known since the seventeenth century as the Pine Barrens. 
     
     
     
    The term refers to the predominant trees in the vast forests that cover the area and to the quality of the soils below, which are too sandy and acid to be good for farming. On all sides, however, developments of one kind or another have gradually moved in, so that now the central and integral forest is reduced to about a thousand square miles. Although New Jersey has the heaviest population density of any state, huge segments of the Pine Barrens remain uninhabited. The few people who dwell in the region, the "Pineys," are little known and often misunderstood. Here McPhee uses his uncanny skills as a journalist to explore the history of the region and describe the people—and their distinctive folklore—who call it home.

From understanding the basics of natural language processing (NLP) to deploying your own intelligent systems, this book provides a detailed roadmap for building and deploying systems that can process and generate human-like language. RAG technology is a powerful tool for generating high-quality text, and this book shows you how to use it to build intelligent systems that can create coherent and contextually appropriate responses to user inputs. 
    You'll also learn how to integrate LLM's into your systems, allowing them to generate text that is not only grammatically correct but also contextually relevant. But building intelligent systems isn't just about technology – it's also about understanding how humans interact with language. That's why this book covers prompt engineering, a critical aspect of building conversational AI systems. You'll learn how to craft effective prompts that elicit the desired response from your system, and how to optimize your system for maximum accuracy and relevance. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out in NLP, this book is essential reading for anyone looking to build intelligent systems that can truly understand and generate human-like language. 
    So why wait? Dive into the world of RAG technology, LLM's, and prompt engineering today!
