Got an assignment last night to lean on chaos and Quixote. Hmmmm. Details to come.
Sunrise Over Ratcliff RidgeAnd, here is the same sky looking north. . .
Monsoon Morning Up On MorningstarGot some thunder last night but not sure we got any rain. Saw this dramatic little display at dawn on my walk. I tried to get Uno to look but he was smelling some dead mouse and had no time for lollygagging.
Here's the other side of the AI disruption:
"I’ve been following your recent posts about the AI book theft problem, and I want you to know I’m right there with you—I don’t condone, support, or take part in anything like that. My use of AI has one purpose: to help preserve history and bring to life the stories of people the history books often leave behind. That’s the heart of what I do with my music.
"I was raised to believe your name and your word are everything, and I treat this new technology as a gift that comes with responsibility. I’ll always use it in a way that’s honest, respectful, and true to the spirit of the past.
"I’m grateful for the spot you gave me in True West Magazine’s “What History Has Taught Me,” and I want you to know that if we ever work together again, you can count on me to uphold the highest ethical standards."
—Rick Kennerknecht
And, it must be said, Rick is the guy who used AI to create this little dittie:
Yes, Rick is very creative and he is using the same tools that the book creators are using, so it's nice to realize a good part of it is to our benefit and some of it is for nefarious purposes, just like, well, you know anything else on the planet!
Man, I missed this show—All Creatures Great And Small—in the eighties. Sorry. My loss. Craig Schepp sent me this interview with the creator of the show and it is a joy to watch.
