In this episode of Generally AI, Roland Meertens and Anthony Alford discuss the historical cycles of AI "summers" and "winters": periods of optimism and decline in AI research. The conversation follows the story of neural networks, from Rosenblatt's perceptron, to the resurgence of AI with backpropagation and deep learning in the 2010s. They also explore the potential for a future "AI Winter", as technological advances face both hype and skepticism. They then discuss the A* search algorithm, which was developed in 1968 and remains a key tool in AI and computer science. The algorithm's lasting relevance and flexibility make it useful across fields like mapping, video games, and even chess engines.

The popularity of podcasting has grown over the past few years. With millions of people listening to their favorite podcasts each day, it's no wonder that so many individuals are interested in starting their own shows. Unfortunately, creating a podcast takes a lot of devotion, time, and work.   Many people give up on their podcasting dreams before seeing any remarkable results. Therefore, we must recognize that working hard for a day or a week is not enough. It requires tenacity and perseverance to forgo any thoughts of giving up.  True success requires a long-term commitment to consistent effort and hard work.   Furthermore, to achieve the level of success we aspire to, we must embody the three Cs of success—Community, Collaboration, and Consistency. Community is said to be the foundation of any successful collaboration. Collaboration is the key to achieving success in any team effort. But consistency is the final component that ties everything together. Thus, the results can be powerful when community, collaboration, and consistency work together. Remember that those with the drive and consistency required to succeed in life can achieve remarkable results and positively impact the world.   In this special episode, we'll recollect the Top 10 episodes that have motivated us to thrive in life, sports, and medicine. Furthermore, it is to commemorate the 100th podcast episode that helped generate, motivate, educate, and inspire us through the numerous success stories of people in various professions and industries. In conclusion, we pursue a common goal of strengthening mindset, helping people grow their assets, and confidently achieving success in diverse spheres of life.   "There have been so many times that I could have easily stepped away from this podcast, but my drive and consistency help me produce results." – Dr. Derrick Burgess   Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction + Episode Snippet (00:01:13) Gratefulness to the Podcast Community (00:02:36) The acquired blessings through TimeOut with the SportsDr. Podcast (00:04:30) Community: Meeting inspiring individuals (00:06:16) Collaboration: The Most diverse Podcast (00:07:15) Consistency: A critical element of success (00:09:21) Dr. Deborrah Hyde: The Ability to Walk with Kings but Never Lose The Common Touch  (00:11:43) The Role of Parents in Youth Sports with Troy Horne: Author of Mental Toughness for Young Athletes (00:14:38) Maximize the Moment with Anthony Alford (00:17:12) Perfecting the Game in Your Mind: Mental Fitness with Troymain Crosby (00:18:33) Blazing Your Own Trail with Dr. MaCalus Hogan (00:21:03) Leaving places better than you found them.

Baseball is claimed to be the only sport that can weed out actual championships.  Athletes are allowed to contribute and in some instances, compelled to do so under extreme pressure.  They can be elevated from good teams to great ones.  Sports, in general, is a great avenue to achieve discipline, develop camaraderie, and generate value. Passionate athletes are most likely to succeed and be capable of playing in major leagues.    However, not all great athletes, though giving their best effort, have been afforded a chance to play in big arenas. Sometimes, rejection and failure arise as a result of injuries, unfavorable situations, or priorities. Such things can lead to self-doubt among a plethora of other negative thoughts and behaviors. To combat these emotions one can consider a broader playing field. Consequently, the beauty of a game like baseball lies in the fact that it is universal. A passionate American baseball player can find opportunities in other countries to pursue his dreams. As our guest speaker believed, "At the end of the day, money spends the same whether it comes from America or Korea. Hence, we must understand that the ultimate goal of a father is to provide a bright future for his family."   Anthony Alford is an athlete, father, and loving husband to his wife, Bailey Alford. He formerly played in Major League Baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays and the Pittsburgh Pirates but is currently playing in South Korea for KT Wiz of the KBO league as a baseball outfielder.   In this special episode with Anthony Alford, we'll learn about the adversities faced by a professional baseball player and his family as they seek to lead make an impact on the world through sports. Be captivated as we know about the journey of a remarkable man who paved his way in baseball. He also made a tough decision to play overseas to support his family and make a living out of his sports.   "As a professional athlete, you have a short window that you have to make your money for the rest of your life." – Anthony Alford   Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction + Episode Snippet (00:00:40) Introducing our special guest, Anthony Alford (00:02:55) The uncertainty vs. Job security (00:04:07) Why did Anthony decide to go overseas? (00:05:13) What is the average career for a major league baseball player? (00:06:22) How does baseball differ from other sports? (00:07:57) Many big-league players are now playing in other countries.

Half of the battle is getting the opportunity and getting every day at bat." – Anthony Alford   "There's a lot of self-doubts and the unnecessary pressure we put on ourselves as players." – Anthony Alford   "Once you start going down that rabbit hole of negative thoughts and self-doubt, it will be hard to get that out of your head." – Dr. Derrick Burgess   "Meditation and speaking positively to yourself is a big factor to success." – Anthony Alford   "They'll scream my name and just start doing my little celebration thing, and it was a cool feeling." – Anthony Alford   "I think it's such an awesome experience and so many things that as we travel the world and we get to see the cultures and appreciate people." – Anthony Alford   "The beauty of what's going on in sports right now, especially college sports with name, image, and likeness, is that truly you are your brand." – Dr. Derrick Burgess   "You can embrace being you as a person more so than just you as an athlete." – Dr. Derrick Burgess   "The beauty of baseball is you can go all the way to Asia and make millions of dollars because there's an opportunity over there if it doesn't work out in the States." – Anthony Alford     Connect with Anthony Alford:  Website: https://fanarch.com/collections/anthony-alford Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009390781179 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajalford13/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajalford_ Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Alford   Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com   This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

Ah, now this is a mood with the Blue Jays that is far more familiar...A.J. Andrews makes her long-awaited tribute to Anthony Alford, who was DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Thursday. She runs over Alford's MLB tenure with the team and determines how the can't-miss prospect just flat out missed.
