I didn't mean to crap on his predictions, only to suggest that he might be a bit optimistic in the growth of technology. When you look at this, even when he gets it "wrong", it's still not always far off, it's just earlier than the technology evolved. https://medium.com/@sgunnisonmiller/ray-kurzweils-prediction-scorecard-7d40ee2ff42a These are the predictions he got wrong, for example, according to medium.com: elevenshadows.net - I photographed Ray Kurzweil in 2010.

I don't know if I am underestimating what we will be able to do with computational intelligences, or Kurzweil is overestimating what we do. i just don't see what he is describing as happening nearly that soon. Regardless, if we should come across this sort of technology, the ramifications of that will be astounding. We think wrestling with AI "deep fakes" is concerning now...that's a much larger can of worms, ethically and otherwise. A fascinating can of worms, but a can of worms nonetheless.

Official NFL Thread 2024-2025
KenElevenShadows replied to Geoff Grace's topic in The Keyboard Corner
Keenan Allen is not a typical Ryan Poles sort of move in that he's 31 years old, but y'know, it's Keenan Allen. I think it's a good move for the Bears. And I definitely didn't see that one coming. -
Thanks. I just gotta figure out when I can get up there at night.

Thinking about Keith Emerson
KenElevenShadows replied to techristian's topic in Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage
Keith Emerson, NAMM show, 2014. I believe this is one of the gigs that Dave mentions where you could see the frustration. I know what he could do, but quite frankly, his playing was still so much better than what most could ever hope to do. We don't know what demons people wrestle with on a daily basis. Maybe this will be another reminder of that, to maybe be a little less harsh to our fellow human beings and try to understand them a little more. -

There's quite a link between creativity and mental illness. This article discusses some of it, but I'd rather let people do a deep dive into the relationship. https://www.getty.edu/news/the-link-between-creativity-and-mental-illness/ -
Yeah, mostly goggles and glasses. The watches had little resistance besides the usual crowd who are out of touch and resistant to anything new anyway. And I never considered AirPods or anything wearables since they aren't smart devices, but regardless, definitely I was not thinking of them when writing this. Goggles and glasses.

Haha! I'm hoping to, yes, but not sure when. It's a long hike up the mountain and back in the dark, but I do want to do it.

Exploring An Abandoned Hippie Commune in the Mountains - Wavy Gravy Hog Farm I hiked up through the mountains to check out Wavy Gravy's former hippie commune in Southern California. The Hog Farm has been abandoned for many years, and was interesting to explore. I had to hurry down the mountain due to unexpected rain, lightning, flash flood warnings, and hail. Wavy Gravy is perhaps best known as an activist, hippie commune leader, and entertainer, and is also known for his association with Woodstock and the Merry Pranksters.
