It’s the new nuclear arms race. But even if we win, we may still lose.

The drop from a drone can’t be much worse than delivery drivers tossing packages around.

This is really about nerds wanting to look up skirts.

Well, I’m doing my part to get rid of it all.

Guess I’ll keep trying until there’s another solution.

Right now, it’s likely awful, but it will improve and eventually it will be very good.

Maybe in ten years, people will just input “Star Wars as if directed by Stanley Kubrick” and get a new trilogy out of it. Lawyers would be involved but not sure even Disney could stop it for personal use.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I don’t even like work.

Take that, AI.

Ya big bully.

It’s needed now.

When people kill each other. When people can’t afford to have kids. When healthcare costs are going up. I wonder why population is going down. Hmmm. 🤔

Okay, great, but what is The Rolling Stones opinion on that?

(sorry)

I know 50% is better than say 5%… but whenever I see 50% all I think of is a coin flip, either it will or won’t happen. Still, interesting times.

Though I think we would fix the obesity issue. We’ll have food/drinks that’ll supply us with basic healthier nutrients that mimic whatever we want. Could just be virtual food and a daily pill.

I think we’ll be more like “Ready Player One.”

Best not to scan random QR codes, in general.

I know which one I hate more.

For USB-A, it’s usually not even 50/50. It’s the witchcraft superposition when the first two tries don’t work.

Tough to say, but as an artist/writer myself, I’d still be in charge of what I want for my material. An artist knows what works and what doesn’t.

I used ChatGPT to give me a list of character names based on the description I gave it. I usually select one from dozens of choices, oftentimes mixing and matching, or giving more information for a new list. Someone else may not care and pick the first name they see.

Same goes with plot and dialogue. An artist will go back and forth with the A.I. to make improvements and decisions… whereas a non-artist might not know which one to pick and let A.I. do most of the work.

Then yes, that all might come down to a certain percentage of work, like 50% or more as an example. An artist will want their own voice to be shown so they’ll have a higher percentage of their work included, whereas a non-artist won’t care and just try to sell A.I. work as their own. The artist will have more say for copyright. Proving it will be difficult however… as teachers have found when grading students papers. Artists may need to keep a lot of notes during the creative process.

If you have a good Internet connection, you could play it via Xbox Cloud Gaming with an Xbox GamePass Ultimate subscription. They probably have a free trial somewhere. That way, you just need a web browser and Bluetooth controller.

Might be slight lag if connection is slow or unstable like on WiFi, and there may be a wait to play if lots of people are online, but it should be top quality visuals without a high end PC. Worth a try, and there are other great games included as well.

I have fun with Starfield, but it does feel a bit dated.

We either avoid the spying like the plague or we accept it into our homes. If we want a future with robots, those things are going to have microphones for ears, a speaker for a mouth, cameras for eyes, and some sort of smell detector for the nose. We’re just in the training phase for that experience.

Kids will adapt to it, older curmudgeons will try to stay away with their lamplight oil. I personally want a robot to take care of cooking and cleaning so I can enjoy other things in life.

Yes, it’s an ongoing struggle between convenience and privacy. I’ve noticed that the voices for privacy tend to be the loudest and angriest, yet they still choose to have cell phones and computers and complain on the Internet. Unless they’re Amish or in the deep wilderness, AI will eventually know a lot more about them than they would like.

It’s for the best. We are the latchkey generation.

I wish for World Pizza.

AKA… the Friar Tuck look.
