Suppose you wanted to see what you'd look like in a music video or sound like singing a song. Well, you can actually get pretty close with simple one-click type AI tools today... So a word of warning: Be very cautious in this new digital world on what you accept as real. Anyway, this was a curiosity I made while testing out various one-click type AI tools. Does this type of video interest you? What type of questions does it make you think up? Does it make you laugh? Does it make you concerned for the future of digital media? Does it make you excited for the future of digital media? What kind of video's would you like to see me attempt to produce next?

A mid-context conversation segment with AI about generating Wes Anderson styled meme animations. #GarbageBin-Style

Me: Impressive! Can you add camera actions, shot framing, color composition, camera equipment likely used, etc? AI: Absolutely, here's the storyboard with added camera actions, shot framing, color composition, and potential camera equipment: Scene 1 (00:00 - 00:30) Image Description: Bill Murray, portraying a seagull named Sammy with bright, curious eyes, discovers a shiny, golden compass amidst a pile of shiny trinkets in his nest located on a cliff overlooking the sea. Action: Sammy rummages through his collection of trinkets and finds the compass. Dialogue: Sammy (voiceover): "Among the ordinary, I found something extraordinary." Camera Action: Close-up shot of Sammy's face as he discovers the compass, then a cut to a medium shot showing Sammy in his nest. Color Composition: The scene is bathed in the warm, golden light of the setting sun, highlighting the shiny trinkets in Sammy's nest. Camera Equipment: DSLR camera with a prime lens for the close-up shot. Sce...

The philosophy behind whimsical spaghetti demons vs. gogurt demons in AI research. #GarbageBin

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that aims to create machines or systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, decision making, and creativity. However, not all AI researchers share the same vision of what constitutes intelligence or how to achieve it. In this blog post, we will explore two contrasting philosophical approaches to AI research: the whimsical spaghetti demons and the gogurt demons. The whimsical spaghetti demons are a group of AI researchers who believe that intelligence is not a fixed or well-defined concept, but rather a fluid and emergent phenomenon that arises from complex interactions between agents and their environment. They argue that intelligence is not something that can be measured or replicated by following a set of rules or algorithms, but rather something that can be discovered or invented by exploring the possibilities and constraints of different domains and contexts. They view AI as a creative...

Sugar Gliders.

The other day my sister brought home some sugar gliders. She's been doing this thing lately where she picks up pets on ksl and sells them to a new owner. They were too cute and they had to be mine. There are two, one male, one female, named Hubert and Marjory. I named them. :) After a few days Hubert is pretty chill and used to being around me. The same cannot be said for Marjory. She seems to be a bit overly dependent on Hubert. She'll get used to me... just have to give her time...

Confusion.

Insert incoherant ramblings here.

Spring Cleaning

It seems that the more organized and structured something is, the easier it becomes. The problem is that within organization and structure comes the possibility for boredom. Chaos seems to have an appeal that organization and stucture can't rival, however should we base how we live on what is most appealing only? I've been thinking about how I should incorporate some system of stucture into my life. Maybe keep a calendar, do laudry on a specific day instead of when it has overgrown my room. Perhaps set aside a day of the week to do general cleaning and housework.  Maybe I'll go deeper. Maybe I'll have to start sheduling my days. I know, I've been such a slacker as of late. So, where to start? What ingredients do I want to fill my days with? I'm thinking exercise should be in there, reading, meditation as well. Wow! It has been quite a while since I've held myself accountable for much of anything. Better get crackin'. Tonight, maybe laundry and a little c...

First Topic: What Motivates People To Chat On Facebook?

Facebook . We all have one. Those who haven't joined yet are considered by their online friends to be living in some sort of time distortion. There's no question about its wide spread usage, but let's get a little more specific. Let's talk about the chat feature. Recently I was chatting with a new friend of mine, Jen ( mythbusterbeauty .com ). While chatting, she suggested I write about what the motivation is for people to chat on Facebook . Now that's a tough topic. My first thoughts were about those friends that consistently initiate chats and don't have anything they really wanted to say to you. They're bored and you are their boredom scapegoat. Of course, the conversations are drawn out forever with replies that grow shorter and shorter until you end up with nothing but an " uhuh " or "oh" as a response. When you've finished the business you came online to do you find yourself thinking of a way to get out of the conversation and ...
