    Greetings. Welcome aboard. Remember the old Superman episode where he was using his xray vision and seeing thru walls? Well, Technology has taken us a long way. Now, there is talk by Homeland Security about using this technology to see thru the walls. This technology can be used to help firefighters fight fires in a safe and effective way.

    The second part is about Ai being used to alleviate congestion. Brisbane, Australia has been struggling with massive traffic jams. Ai is being deployed to help with the problem. This system is supposed to predict, plan and control existing traffic network.

    AI isn’t just here—it’s reshaping industries, economies, and everyday interactions, whether we realize it or not. Have you ever found yourself shouting, “Let me talk to a real person!”? Chances are, AI was behind the scenes, handling the conversation.
    We’ve reached a tipping point. AI isn’t just a helpful tool anymore—it’s actively transforming the workforce. And while automation has always brought change, the pace this time is staggering.

    The chatbot revolution The CEO of Klarna, a leading fintech company, recently issued a stark warning: AI is already replacing white-collar workers at a rate that could spark a recession. Here’s the breakdown—Klarna once had 5,500 employees. Despite record growth, the company now operates with just 3,000 people, largely due to AI-powered automation.
    One chatbot alone has replaced the work of 700 customer service employees.

    And it’s not just Klarna. Businesses worldwide are making similar moves, prioritizing AI-driven efficiency while trimming their human workforce. Initially, Klarna’s CEO championed the benefits. Now, he’s sounding the alarm about the broader economic consequences.
    Anthropic, the company behind AI tool Claude, has projected that up to half of all entry-level white-collar jobs could disappear in the next five years. Some experts argue it could happen even sooner.

    A look At Leo Gorcey
    May 16 2023
    A look at Leo Gorcey and his life. During the 1930s, Leo Gorcey's father worked in theater and film, often living separately from the family. In 1935, upon his return, Bernard Gorcey and Leo's younger brother David convinced Leo to audition for a minor role in the play Dead End. Leo, who had recently lost his job as a plumber's apprentice, aspired to follow in his father's footsteps.

    In the play, Gorcey and his brother were cast as East 53rd Place Gang members, later known as the "2nd Avenue Boys." When another actor left the production, Gorcey, originally the understudy, was promoted to the role of Spit. He developed a stage persona of a quarrelsome guttersnipe who relished causing trouble.

    In 1937, Samuel Goldwyn adapted the famous play Dead End into a film, and Gorcey and the other actors were brought to Hollywood. Over the next two decades, Gorcey became one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, starring in seven Dead End Kids films from 1937 to 1939, 21 East Side Kids films from 1940 to 1945, and 41 Bowery Boys films from 1946 to 1955.

    A look at Billy Halop

    Billy Halop began acting on Broadway as Tommy Gordon in Sidney Kingsley's Dead End in 1935. When Samuel Goldwyn produced the film version of the play in 1937, Halop and the rest of the Dead End Kids were brought to Hollywood to reprise their roles. Halop played the character of Tommy, a gang leader, in a series of films featuring the Dead End Kids, later renamed the Little Tough Guys.


    He also appeared alongside James Cagney in Angels with Dirty Faces (1938). He played the character of Harry Flashman, a bully who spoke with an English accent, in the 1940 film Tom Brown's School Days, opposite Cedric Hardwicke and Freddie Bartholomew.

    Halop claimed that he was paid more than the other Dead End Kids, which caused tensions within the group, and that he grew tired of the name "Dead End Kids."

    After serving in the US Army Signal Corps during World War II, Halop found that he was too old for the types of roles that had made him famous. He even starred in a low-budget imitation of the East Side Kids called Gas House Kids (1946) when he was just 26 years old. Unfortunately, his career began to decline due to a lack of film work, marital problems, and alcoholism.


    Billy Halop experienced a career resurgence in the 1970s with his role as Bert Munson, a cab driver and close friend of Archie Bunker on the popular television series, All in the Family. He appeared in ten episodes between 1971 and 1975, including the famous "Sammy's Visit" episode from the second season in 1972, which featured Sammy Davis, Jr.
