AI Takes Over?

We don’t need to be only worried about AI being super-intelligent, we need to worry about what its motivations will be.

A super intelligent being who sits in a corner doing nothing is harmless. A stupid animal motivated by hunger is a danger if it has teeth and you look tasty.

I am finishing up Quiet City Realizations, an instrumental record. Trying to keep it under 74 minutes. MP3's will be available.

Lughnasadh is coming!

Patchwerk Technique

Lately my technique for writing music has been to make a patchwork of samples with Garageband so that the song is changing constantly. It’s good if you have a short attention spam.

Giving Up Sugar?

I'm trying to give up sugar.

I continue to doubt I will be able to keep up this no sugar policy but perhaps my doubt is a kind of hope for reverse psychology to work on myself.

I want to get at the truth and not some fad diet. Not "make the theory fit the data".
"Hey everybody you've got to do the same diet as me! I'm a beliver and I will convert you to my new religion!"
Is a religious attitude the only way for humans to stick with something?
Would less sugar make me mellower? sadder? less energetic?
Is there really ever a time that "sugar would help"?
Will the weekend suck without sugar? Will that go away in time?
Is sugar one of my main sources of happiness in life? I hope not!

All fruits and veggies are better when at room temp or warmer.

New record ORION SUNRISE. I think I have decided my favourite form of music is progressive rock. GO on and hate me if you must. Its not a very popular genre.

Well in my case maybe a sort of funky computer prog rock.

Good by sweet Prince - thank goodness your music will remain with us.

Spotify vs. Mp3

I am really enjoying all Spotify has to offer - its like having a CD store in your computer where everything costs a penny ( I have the 5$ a month plan), but there is something missing when you listen to cloud music like this - your personal MP3's of weird, independent music, home recordings, etc. You can listen to your local tracks too with spotify but it somehow seems separate from the cloud stuff. Already, mp3's are seeming nostalgic now that you can stream from the cloud your music.
