Driverless
As always: Thank you for allowing us to surveil you .                                                                                          .

Aimless, pointless processes w/o appreciable results
driverless, without a moral or ethical compass.
The process has become the message.  Pathetic!


As  AI  has bolted out of the barndoor - for good.  No point in crying over spilled bits.
Just prepare for tears as unearned money concentrates in the hands of the dominant set.
Imagine if you will:   AI-government and AI-justice based on the PRAVDA-news archives.
False equivalents at above light speed and in insurmountable quantity.   Good luck to us all.

Turning over a new AI-leaf?

  Now:  Here is a true story
 

Recently, in a parking lot in Tilden Park I encountered a tom-turkey.  
As he made his getaway he came close to the spare tire of a Jeep.  
He must have thought the competition is here, because he stopped, took a second look 
and proceeded to make a wheel of his own, not wanting to be outdone 
by the competition at hand. 
 
I wasn't quick enough to take a picture; but here's a drawing 
and a mockup of the affair:

Closed in the morning , open in midday and closed again for night.







Still on the search for inspiration:


Drone pictures on the nude beach?




Who's hiding in the backyard foliage?






In the swimming pool?







Nothing seems to yield the desired result.

Surveying the old masters?  Maybe.




Homage to Gustav Courbet:

      An Apple?    
Well, I be damned!










We'll all be damned. 
Imagine if you will:  AI selecting the optimal president for you.
100 billion errors per second and no one to stop them.
Anyone still know what 1% of a billion is?
Just round it cavalierly and send it in my direction.

Remember you think little of leaving a $10.- tip at the restaurant, but
you didn't support my art, not even with $5.-; Philistine freeloaders!

      Sometimes
asymmetry makes things more interesting.






      Sometimes it does not.

Book: "The life and opinions of Tomcat Murr"
by E.T.A. Hoffmann

Some interesting observations and insights about psychology
before ( and thus without the terminology of ) Freudian or
Jungian psychoanalyses.  Of course it's all a bit dated now.....
Never the less interesting, the Zeitgeist was clearly on the verge.
Mesmer and his activities clearly played a roll in Olympia's
creation (Tales of Hoffman).
