Living in San Francisco is quite exciting! 🤪

What a mess. And nobody died.

70 mph. Smashed into a car. 3 cars totaled.

This happened in front of our building just now.

AI Art I made for our party last night to watch the Oscars with friends.

Wine cork sketch on table cloth.

And artist can participate in making art for these frames. People can contract with them to build AI art specifically for them. Do interviews, check on latest life events, get themes, etc. Then incorporate that into the latest image. They can also enhance the printed image if they want (i.e. add metallic leaf, sign it, etc.) Mail them the print. This keeps artists busy and employed in this new AI age.

New product idea:
Frame that can easily switch out a printed image. The printed image is an AI art piece or any print. It is printed in large format at Walgreens or Kinkos/FedEx. Registration holes clip into a winching system that pulls the image up into the frame and extracts the earlier one. This allows you to switch out images quickly without it being a Frame TV (which I have and love and use it for my AI art). It's less "techy" and more flexible.

Elections provide an insight into the state of the culture.

Then they impact the culture.

Was it always this way?
Or, has the increased fluidity of information (news, social media) simply added "election-results" to its arsenal that impacts our culture?

Do we shift our political positions just because we now know so many people around us have such different world views?

SCOTUS works in the world of technicalities. If they leave that world they become "activists".

Today's decision was within that technical world.
Distasteful, but within their disciplined context. That's why 3 liberal judges sided to make it unanimous.

The issue I have is “Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.”

Congress??
And how will that impact the trials?

On our morning walk my wife tells me I need younger friends that understand and are interested in the things I'm trying to develop.

I guess I need to leave the house more often. Seriously.
Time to network just to find different friends.

I spent half my day coding for an AI application and the other half sanding moulding and glueing urethane moulding around an architectural detail

I recommend that anyone getting too deep into the abstract world find a hobby in the real world

Product idea: A TV on a wall in a bar that displays AI art that is generated based on the conversations happening throughout the bar. It would be continually changing. It would serve as an ice breaker.

I can understand how dreams are a mechanism to understand and cope.
The one I experienced just before waking has stuck with me all day.

The Coast Guard helicopter is flying circles over our neighborhood.

.

Present Biden just flew by with 5 other military helicopters. Landed on Marina Green in San Francisco.

Insight from an old man:

Don't ever assume people like you.

Don't ever assume they have similar views as you.

Try to understand why your friends choose to be your friends. What is it about you? Are you OK with that?

Enjoy the Eiffel Tower tonight!

Enjoy Paris
