They must all be senators

We’re late 1930s Japan, arrogant and armed, looking around, in this case, the Arctic, for the natural resources we don’t have and asking ourselves, “who should we knock down first?”

Is that you, Sam???

I get that. Your something doesn’t have to be the same as mine.

It’s clear you know what talking about. Just wanted to formally recognize that fact.

I just spent the am in a forced “Ai” cybersecurity training. What a joke.

I loved old Austin before the explosion of people in the 90s. Lived there for years—and still got lost near the airport 2 years ago while trying to go to Lockhart for BBQ.

Maybe you are right.

I do feel sorry for Austin. They are in deep with Tesla and it’s going to hurt.

The fact that they plan to charge 20k a month (premium/corporate user) for people’s stolen intellectual property is the real kicker.

Depends on the corp behind the tool. Boycotting Apple and Adobe, for example, isn’t productive as they aren’t funding this insanity. But boycotting Meta and Twitter is worth the effort.

$20k a month for something that is, at best, on a long path to AI is also stupid.

Looking out a library window into a rainy Oxford day

Study the problem. Find the solution. Believe in expertise.

To believe at this point in history that machines (fake AI) can replace human workers is stupid.

To attempt the replacement without long term governmental planning—at any point in history is—amoral.

There is nowhere to transport displaced workers.

Meaning, there will be blood.

Unless you’re in a wealthy suburb of St Louis (Ladue, Clayton, etc).

Rural voters are voting against their own children’s interests.

Almost nobody did that.

Can’t wait for it to open. Beautiful area!

Stay curious.

Embrace the unknown.

Value every experience.

Find opportunity in the problem.

Understand your opponent so that you may find it in your heart to love him.

Don’t be. For example, my rankings are for me and they are often dynamic. I only give 5s to books that truly have stick withitness. I can enjoy a book and forget what it’s about a month later. It was still a good read, just not a 4 or a 5.

In case you're curious:

• Love invites and seeks ways for everyone to have enough.
• Hatred draws circles to divide and casts many beyond their sight and care.

This matters when we say that God is love.
This matters when we follow the way of Jesus.
This matters to see who is leading with hatred.

We are nowhere close to true AI. Oxford University predicts we are 20-25 years and a lot of electricity and water usage away. Stop falling for lies.

Sometimes perception is outfoxed by reality

This AI scenario, like many others, fails the critical test of “why?”

It is impossible for a non thinking entity to be creative.

Why the ? Mark? It’s unique and the colors work.
