returning to the scene of the crime

it's been a while since i created a web page. and now im like a returning prodigal son aiming to get back what i lost. getting thru the same process i walked thru back then - studying. i visited few sites ive created and found them to be boring so i wont put their links here. hahaha! then i stumble upon my site(i want to call it that) - http://www.geocities.com/orpheum_ph/ and remembered that i have created something for myself... a tool for web design. something to start with... and i would like to tap my back for that. and so, i decided to get back into blogging and pst this.

hopefully, i would complete my tool and maybe start on a portfolio. wish me luck!

Artificial Intelligence Does Not Understand

Artificial Intelligence does not understand, at least not in the way humans mean the word understanding. This is not a criticism of AI’s capability, but a clarification of context. The confusion arises because we collapse multiple meanings of “understanding” into a single, unexamined concept. When AI performs well in language, reasoning, or problem-solving tasks, we intuitively project human comprehension onto it.

Speech: The Future of Public Transport—Why Autonomous Vehicles Need ATS

[Opening] Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and forward-thinking innovators, Today, we stand at the intersection of technology and transportation, where the decisions we make will shape the way cities move for generations. The rise of autonomous vehicles is no longer science fiction—it is an inevitability. But these vehicles cannot operate in isolation. They need an intelligent system—an Agile Transportation System (ATS)—to function efficiently, safely, and dynamically. This is not just about replacing drivers with AI. This is about creating a transportation network that is smarter, more responsive, and deeply integrated into the fabric of our cities. --- [The Problem: Why Current Transportation Models Will Fail] Let’s step back for a moment. Today’s public transport operates on fixed routes and rigid schedules, often leading to overcrowded peak hours and empty vehicles off-peak. It’s a system built on predictability, not adaptability. And while autonomous vehicles pro...
