  The Unreachable Riches -...

  John Harpoon

  • 0

  Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations. These stories, often shrouded in mystery, promise more than mere material wealth; they offer the thrill of discovery, the romance of adventure, and the tantalizing possibility of rewriting history. 
  What makes the pursuit of treasure so compelling is its intersection of myth and reality. While some caches are purely the stuff of legend—stories crafted to entertain or to warn—others are firmly rooted in historical fact. The line between these two realms is often blurred, with legends growing over time as details are exaggerated, misunderstood, or simply lost to the passage of years. Yet, the faint possibility that a hoard of gold, jewels, or ancient artifacts could be lying undiscovered somewhere in the world continues to ignite the spark of curiosity in countless individuals. 
  The search for hidden riches is not just a quest for monetary gain. It is an expression of humanity's enduring desire to explore the unknown, to solve mysteries, and to leave a mark on history. Treasure hunters are often driven by a profound sense of purpose, believing that their discoveries might unveil truths about the past or provide new insights into forgotten cultures. Some searches span decades, even lifetimes, as these seekers devote themselves wholly to their pursuits, undeterred by failure or skepticism.

  Enheduanna, also known as En-hedu-ana or Enheduana, is widely regarded as the world's first known author and poet, as well as one of the earliest recorded female figures in history. She lived in ancient Mesopotamia during the 23rd century BCE and held the esteemed position of high priestess in the city of Ur, which was a thriving center of Sumerian civilization. Enheduanna's literary works and religious contributions have left an indelible mark on the cultural and literary landscape of ancient Mesopotamia. Enheduanna was born in the city of Ur, located in what is now southern Iraq, around 2285 BCE. She was the daughter of King Sargon of Akkad, who established the Akkadian Empire, and Queen Tashlultum. Being born into a royal family, Enheduanna enjoyed a privileged upbringing and received an exceptional education in literature, religion, and politics. At a young age, Enheduanna's intelligence, eloquence, and spiritual devotion were recognized, leading to her appointment as the high priestess of the moon god Nanna at the renowned temple in Ur. This position bestowed upon her significant religious authority and influence within the society, making her a powerful figure in both the political and spiritual realms. Enheduanna's most significant contributions are her literary works, which include a collection of hymns, poems, and prayers dedicated to various deities. These compositions were written in the Sumerian language, the oldest known written language in human history. Through her writings, Enheduanna expressed her deep reverence for the gods and sought to establish a personal connection between the divine and humanity.

  As China rises to true superpower status, the United States must take immediate action to catch up in AI capabilities—or facefall disastrously behind technologically, economically, and militarily. 
   
   
   
  Over the past decade, China has quietly and methodically moved into a near-leadership position in artificial intelligence technologies on a global scale. Meanwhile, the United States has responded ineffectively, weighed down by politics, bureaucracy, and an absence of clear strategy. 
   
   
   
  In the near future, wars will be fought not over land, but over data. Machines will quickly discover individualized treatments for diseases, and with the help of virtual reality, AI will inspect buildings that have not yet been built. With the rising interest in these technologies by both China and the US, who will emerge as the victor of this technological race? 
   
   
   
  When AI Rules the World is an investigation and call to action into AI technologies for a nation that does not yet comprehend the full gravity of the AI revolution. The United States is losing the race for AI dominance, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
