Thank you Colin,


 People today enjoying the beach.

I'm going to take a guess at:

"....
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right,
Here I am
Stuck in the Middle with you....."

This was my thought, sung by a guy that sounded like, but was not, Bob Dylan.

Ok, that one is by Don McLean

We can dream -- AI can only lie. We can make mental space jumps into domains never visited before, AI can do statistical evaluations. Neither of "us" can predict the future to any useful extent. Man, however, can listen to their inner emotions. Sometimes that sets wheels in motion.   

My 2 cent on that: LLM are tools to evaluate, summarize and paraphrase our current knowledge as far as it is accesible to them, such as hammers are tools to crush or fixate   ... tools ... not lies ....   As soon as electronic sensing and deduction processes become embodied and start to collect their own "life experience" they will start to become our peers and we will have another form of very different self aware consciousness.     The problem I see here is that the current commercial applications for these are: War, Sex, Shopping, Waste collection ... Imagine your own development was based on these fields of experience only ...   Love. Frank.

Some bending of reality here in the reflective building that houses Birmingham New Street station

Reflections are such good subjects

Your photos are chaotic and mysterious, you're an artist.

Lies are also tools, especially used by politicians and blue-eyed salesmen.
