Thank You Sam Altman

SingularityCover

I read in the news this morning that Sam Altman has declared that we are now in the Singularity.
Now ain't that just something.

To honor that swell announcement I will bring to the top of the post queue my song Singularity that I released in 2019 under the name of my character Gort Braggern.

As a reminder — because some things need reminding — I do not use AI.
I personally agonize over every note... word.. sentence
I don't need no "Artificial Intelligence" because I have been blessed with a bounty of Natural Stupidity.

This is available on all major streaming services.
Here are a few ways for you to listen.

Thank You Sam Altman

Back in 2006 I spend a couple of months in the French Quarter of New Orleans. While I was there I involved myself with a locals bar called Evelyn's Place.

The Ice Follies

There is an old proverb: "A fooish person and their camera soon becomes tedious." This is a risk faced by everyone who walks about with a camera hanging around their necks like an albatross.

And Then There was August & September

The blue jay is acting a bit self-conscious. Pin feathers coming in make him look quite awkward and so he compensates by acting with more bravado and investigating things more fiercely. If I leave the back door open he will hop right up to the threshold and survey the inside of the house

What Happened to July?

One of the nice things about July is that the ginger plant blooms. This is probably the last year I get to see this one do it. It's growing by the front door & some of the stalks reach 8-feet in height. This year there are about 16 stalks.

Where Do Tractors Go?

On American farms, the most important innovation of the last century is the tractor. From its introduction as a steam-powered behemoth, the tractor enabled a farmer to accomplish more work with less labor. The farmer was able to till and harvest larger sections of land.

Raspberry, the word can evoke images of a Bronx cheer, a bright-red variety of soda-pop or a small, delicate fruit with a subtle taste that some feel is akin to heaven on earth. My first experience with this fruit was nowhere so divine.

Consider, if you will, the plight of the suburban squirrel. They have no written history, therefore their only link with the knowledge and experiences of their ancestors is through oral recitation. With squirrel's memory what it is, things get rather garbled over time. They tell of a time when when they ruled the planet, dogs and cats would run from them and it was the cars that were confused when facing a squirrel in the middle of a road.

She was right up my alley, but she was in someone else's car.... When I saw her, I was mesmerized. Standing like a deer in the highbeams, transfixed in awe and wonder at the light, never realizing as soon as I had stopped, I was roadkill, my muscles twitching as my blood jelled on the pavement beside me.
