Animals
Digital image splicing hardly qualifies as "artificial intelligence" but it does have its uses: None of the cute kittens were harmed by the production of a digital video in which they're dressed like a rock band and sing a clever parody of one of the band's songs. If the producer used per own kitten pictures and wrote per own song lyrics, rather than using plagiarism software, then I'd call this video well done. I still think we need human intelligence to ensure that any splicing of anyone else's content into computer-generated content must be approved by the original content producer and paid, say 50c per picture or a penny a word, adjusted upward in case of inflation. Anyway it's likely to make pet owners giggle. If our pets could play drums and guitars and dance on our pillows when they want to be fed and walked at night, this is how they'd sound...
Disaster
This time it's the other side of North Carolina...where more of Mother's relatives actually live.
Apologies to those who think Diamond sounds more gleefully vindicated when disasters fit his model better than someone else's, rather than concerned about the people involved. He does but he spent years perfecting that sound.
Peace
I think this writer may be talking about Trump--and I'm delighted if person is. People who aren't Trump fans need to focus on peace.
