Reflections Of 2024 At 30,000 Ft

All of us go home each evening, and at some moment in time, with whatever degree of consciousness, we go back over all the signs, seeking justification that aids in the continuity of our discourse. This happens when our adolescence is lost and the adulthood we once claimed to crave begins to turn into a real and narrowing system of responsibilities that constrain us. Yet we cannot become aware or understand quickly enough to grasp the risks of being “well-adjusted.” We cannot reprogram our mi...

dreams into reality

I got vivid dreams as a child. These dreams would be nightmares and in these horrific fantasies, I was either driving a car or getting chased by a character similar to Freddie Krueger.

This furniture made from flesh becomes a symbol for future judges to rule without corruption. One of the earliest written legal codes was in a...

How AI Will Drive Home Drunk

People find ways of disobedience. Even the first man (according to Christianity) disobeyed big G by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This begs the question, what if we created a sentient being capable of disobeying people? Large Language Models are far from what we consider to be artificial intelligence. It truly takes a conscious being to pop a Zyn and drive home after three pitchers of beer and two shots of whiskey and rum. If vehicles were automated by AI, would there be...
