    Ah, as the bard wrote: words, words, words. Anyway, some top words, arranged by category: Top Middle English word that should have died with Chaucer: Fart. Ugliest word: Phlegm. Most embarrassing word: Penis. Best made-up word ever: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Top three words I...

    And, re. grabbing, this non sequitur: (David Lynch kills me with this kind of stuff. :) )

    So, I think, grab away, grab away, with whatever you think might work. It has become clear, in the social-media world, that there is a lot, there, to be had for the grabbing. But, grasshopper, you must never neglect your own path. I'll shut up now. :)

    This is fascinating. A little comic exaggeration, maybe, but probably pretty close to the truth. It's an aspect of this kind of AI I hadn't really considered until now: In the same way that intellectual historians can talk about the world-view of a certain era through its art, we can look at...

    I'm finding myself doing some editing on some of these--the fire on the whip, the background on the boats. It's just an impression, maybe my particular uneducated aesthetic, but it may (or may not) be worth considering.

    Whip it real good. To me, and I'm an art ignoramus, I think i would like it better without the fire, the yellow. Just the wire whip, the reflection, and a black background. But again, as always, WTF do I know? :)

    Yup. I was complaining about season 5 to someone, and they said, I want to know what happened to them, the characters, and I thought: But it's not them. They've all been lobotomized, the Sorkin part of their brains cut out. I did like The News Room a lot, but I think its problem, for me, is...

    Ah, just as i am imagining impressionistic depictions of real things, we get--dragons and freaky fiery stuff. :) But cool. And I've wondered, I've noticed, a lot of AI art (not these, but a lot) starts to look like a Frank Frazetta poster. For example, here is Frazetta's J.C, John Carter of...

    And, re interior design and the sailboats. I just imagined a set of these--real things: sailboats, cars, maybe motorcycles, bicycles, whatever--all with a similar theamy aesthetic, on the wall of some bright business--a coffee shop or something. Although the background on the boats might be a...

    Way cool. And I like all of these. Esp. the juice bar, which is killer. (I imagine George Jetson stopping by .) And the sailboats. This one feels like the kind of art one could hang on one's wall.

    Did the AI design this bathroom? I have no sense of interior design, but this seems pretty good

    Thanks, Nate, for reading. I remember, some time ago, hearing Aaron Sorkin say, in some interview on the you tube regarding a West Wing reboot, something like: I'm not against it but I don't have any ideas. And I thought, I raised my hand: I have one. And I started to write it down, and then...

    cgi Save Point: Concept Art

    Some impressions: The "papercuts". Cool, but, for some reason, they freak me out a little--the bone color, the organic-like rococo gee-gaws. Anyway, onward. Forrest tigers, deer, and robots. Unique, beautiful, complex and colorful. I begin to imagine a story. What kind of forrest is this...

    Update: Pesto-Chango Have harvested four of these, and now, it seems, there are two to go. My crop was a little disappointing. . However, the tomatos, called Black Krum, an old-world heirloom, have been, so far, unusually good. The first one, indeed, became a BLT. The next few I sliced...

    blog "If the Americans had not won at Gettysburg."

    One of great things about the book, Man in the High Castle (Philip K Dick) is that it doesn't bother with a reason why the Axis won the war. They just did. And, in one of the stunning things in that book, there's a scene where a character considers an odd piece of jewelry, and then looks into...

    Hence "Sorkinesque" lol. This assumes a familiarity with Aaron Sorkin, and with, specifically, The West Wing. I ended up doing it because i imagined I could, because I imagined West WIng devotees might find it amusing, and even imagined that a West Wing pro might as well. But I don't see it as...

    And I was reminded of where this bit came from. A script, a somewhat playful attempt at a Sorkinesque riff on a Sorkin world. One I worked through some time ago, and even made some small futile effort to get someone in the Sorkin sphere to read. And I still kind of like it. And...
