Heredity by Rational Youth Changed My Life

Image
Heredity by Rational Youth was put out in 1985 and had the following songs. A side: Heredity, No More and No Less, Call Me, In Your Eyes, I've Got a Sister in the Navy. B side: Bang On, Freeze, Burn the Night Away, Holiday in Bangkok, Sorry The first album by them I had was Cold War Night Life from 1982. This was so very different from any of the other bands of their kind that I fell in love with the band. Heredity took me to the next level and it was such a divergence from anything else I had listened to, that I found it inspiring and it in fact altered how I saw art, music and many other things. It gave me the desire to do art, and that lasted my entire life. I as a side note got big into poetry because of this album. No More and No Less was my absolute favorite song on the album. I have to say, to this day, this is my favorite album of all time. The list of albums of theirs I owned on LP where: Cold War Night Life, Rational Youth (both versions), Heredity. Later on digital or CD...

Are AI Images Copyrighted?

Image
AI generated images are NOT able to be copyrighted. The primary processing of the image is done by a non-human. Thus not copyrighted. I've seen people get all kinds of upset over others using an AI image as a visual prompt for another AI image. Well, too bad, it's allowed by law. As for actual human generated images, it's a toss up. If the AI is "significantly altered" then copyright is not violated. It's the same with human generated images copied after another work of art. It's nice to credit origins however most of the time people forget. Fan art is a fine line. It can't be sold in some countries but is allowed. In other countries it's not at all allowed. There has been all manner of people trying to sell fan art or have it as subscription viewing. Not allowed. How about AI fan art? Well if the character looks enough like the original that it's in violation. If it only has a slight resemblance, then no violation. Images used as a base in AI ...

If You Could Have 5 Things From Sci-Fi to Use Real Life

Image
If I could have 5 things from Sci-Fi to use in my real life, what would they be? Now we have to assume they would work in real life as they do in the movies and/or on TV. So here are my choices: 1. Replicator. This should be obvious. To be able to make anything I need, including food, clothing, personal items, and so on. No more needing to wash clothing for example - just recycle the old, dirty clothing into the replicator and poof new clean clothing. 2. Porthole generator. To be able to move anywhere on earth I wanted when I wanted. Yes, you could get up to no good with this in short order and it would be a hell of a security risk. But being able to go see the great wonders of the world, all on the same day, would be incredible. 3. Holo emitters. For personal fun and for practical use. With a solid hologram like in Star Trek, you could have them clean your home and dance for you, or even act out entire books or movies in hyper realistic ways. 4. Tractor beam that can be reversed to re...

Trip To The ER and Sent Home Way To Soon

Image
Went to the ER last night. At 6PM I started to shake all over my body and was in a terrible brain fog and dizzy and light headed. So I called 911 and went into the ER. I was in a hell of a shape for a while there. Then they gave me a med that can be addictive at higher dosages, and it worked like a charm. The tremors toned down very soon. Unfortunately I was left in a state where it was not safe for me to walk and I was very much a fall risk. But they sent me home in a cab anyway. I was so upset at that. I thought it would be a lot safer for me to stay overnight and get my balance back. A fall when you are on blood thinners can kill you. You hit your head and poof bleed into the brain and you are dead soon. So it's not cool to have been sent home like that when I literally said, "I'm not safe like this." You can see the IV line spots. The first one blew out and the second one worked like a charm. I have very hard veins to get into. The guy who did the bloodwork was bl...
