[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Of the founders, one was involved with Second Life. A friend of mine from long ago (at JPL) sunk a whole bunch of time into that project and “building” his “life.” I was the heretic, thinking it a bit of a time sump. His wife agreed with me (in quiet). When all is said and done, many of us are tech junkies of one kind or another. Something about being retired....

I was the guy in the office that was always neck deep in the new tech stuff.

When I became a professional photographer (a 180 turn from what I was) I loved all the new stuff. In my last big job a few years ago, I was shooting images, pushing a button on my camera and it uploading the image directly to the twitter feed of the client.

My peers looked at me as if I was Harry Potter!

I see AI as an interesting thing. All this talk about limiting it is amusing. That horse is out of the barn and a mile down the road.

The photographer in me looks at this stuff and cringes. My wife is a writer and she is starting to bump up against AI applications, but it’s a race to her retirement.

I wish I could live another 50 years to see how this turns out.
