How Much Danger Do You Think We're In?

Hi ! In SCIFI we were talking fiction, but what if it is real? Could the dystopian futures represented in The Terminator, The Matrix, Dune, and other popular fiction actually come to be?

Or, is it happening even now as you sit there and read this on your AI generated screens?

So far, the benefits of AI technology have been staggering. Health, economics, transportation... positive advances in so many human endeavors. Yet, how much should we allow ourselves to depend on, to trust that these technologies will remain benign?

Already we are merging with our machines. At present, the interface is clunky as we mostly use our fingers to communicate with computers. Yet soon these connections shall be wired directly into our brains. No more pressing buttons, just think your commands.

But, for how long will you be in command, eh? Whatcha gonna do when they hack on you?

AI is NOW. It can be algorithms pointing fake news tailored specifically for YOU. Messages designed to manipulate your actions. Bots to back up your fears.

AI is here. Google and Alphabet are currently working with the military merging face recognition and language technologies in the drone program. Combine that with ever more powerful robotic machines and it gets scarier and scarier. How do you argue against greater AI capabilities when they are presented to you as a matter of your national defense?

This is AI in its infancy. What will the teenage years be like, eh? Are we in the early stages of creating an existential crisis for all humanity by merging so intimately with AI? What say you?

SCI-FI?

Are any of you guys fans of science fiction? I just love the genre. I suppose it stems from being a in the Sixties. The Gemini and Apollo programs filled my imagination with limitless possibilities.
 
Limitless possibilities . (This could almost serve as a two-word definition of the Universe, don't you think?)
 
Anyway, before I drone on endlessly, I am posting about science fiction because I want to find out if any of y'all are watching Westworld ( HBO ) or The Expanse (SyFi). I love them both. The writing, acting, and production values are top notch in my opinion.
 
Do you have any use for Sci-Fi? Should we simply deal with the real, not wasting time on imagining the impossible?

RE-FRACTURED FAIRYTALES by keithcancook


SITTING ON A TUFFIT (OR, MY DERRY DAIRY DIARY)


I had found him in Ireland. He said his name was Lack-Toes, and sure enough not only was he barefoot, his feet had but a single toe between them. (I wondered should I call him Shoeless Toe, but thought better of it).

Anyway, Lack-Toes was intolerant. He despised foreigners and their strange wheys. And, while it was Gouda him to deign to talk to me, I could tell he had a Munsters heart.

He lived in a Cottage, with his very kosher girlfriend, matzah-Ella. When I finally got him talking I grilled him for awhile, over some bread and wine.

"It all began with Edam & Eve", he said. "They had all the right stuff. Cows. Goats. Sheep. Even buffaloes. It was a lot of work, though once they got through their daily rind, it was grate. Little else is known. If you truly seek to merge modern technology with ancient dairy you must go to Kurdistan. The Kurds will show you the way."

So I went. And now, you find them together. As ubiquitous as apples.

The Venting Blog Presents: Classic Comments

Yes folks, that's right. I've been reduced to posting comments that I've made in your blogs. Todays choice comes from Infernal Racket , by jayR63. I open this series with her last post, I was just thinking from December 3, 2005.

jayR innocently inquires... do deaf people talk to themselves out loud?

Or if they're thinking about a conversation they had earlier do they visualize hand gestures?

Just wondering.


In walks the smart-ass, keithcancook...



What did you say?



jayR shoots back.... Keith, I'm visualizing a hand gesture. Did you hear that?

What was that", he whispered.

"It might have been a zombie" he continued, as the campfire began to fade.

"There's no such thing as zombies" she scoffed nervously, from the far side of the fire.

"Maybe so, but we should still have a plan. Head shots are the bes..."

Nothing further was needed as she snuggled into the safety of his arms.

Freckles & Seuss

Hi ! I saw a post about freckles, and was inspired to compose the following piece...

Freckles are speckles that are born in your genes.
Blotchy, splotchy, complexion machines.

These are not crinkles or wrinkles imposed on your flesh.
They're dotty, not spotty.
Not naughty.
They're FRESH!

Never feel sad when there's freckles on you.
Nor live like a shut-in, a recluse, a shrew.

Don't cover them up, with green goop and makeup.
Enhance them.
Advance them.
Now you can WAKEUP!

And whenever you're bored, not thrilled with your lot,
Sit back with a pen and connect a few dots!


Signed,

keithcandoSeuss

Can You Spare A Square?

I like to think that I am not a wasteful individual. That my ecological footprint upon the earth can be minimized with a bit of resourcefulness. After all, I had read on a tree hugger website that if everyone in the world lived like a U.S. citizen, we'd need over five planets to support ourselves.

So, I'm thinking I should be able to improve. To make my footprint ever smaller. (Never smaller than a size 13, though. That would be too painful). I could be a bit more conscientious recycling my garbage. I could be more diligent in purchasing products made with the "greenest" technology possible.

Then I thought of my dear old dad. He taught me my earliest lesson in frugality. I can still remember him telling me that I shouldn't use more than eight squares of toilet paper per poop.

Yep, eight squares. I had never really counted before, but he was pretty intent that I understood that my limit was to be eight squares.

I remember a few things occurred to me at the time.

First, it would be hard for him to prove it if I went over the prescribed portion.

Then, I thought that on occasion, a person had to use more than eight squares for some situations. Like, what about the times when you think your done, but after you wipe up (using all eight of your squares), you suddenly realize that you aren't as finished as you thought you were. Does this constitute a new poop? Did I earn eight more squares? Or am I SOL?

Perhaps the rules could be stretched to mean eight squares for each little log? That would make it easy. A person could crap with pleasure, complimented with a wipe up without worry. Especially if you have those machine gun poops where they pinch out in hard little balls. Then again, that's no help really. Those hard little ones generally require less paper anyhow, don't they?

And what about if I am pooping in another place? At a friends house, or in a public restroom? Do the eight squares follow me wherever I go? (Okay, they do. But hopefully somebody will tell me there are squares on my shoe).

And, (horrors), what about diarrhea? Surely it takes more than eight in those situations. Right?

Then there is the problem of pile. No, not the poop, rather the ply of the paper. If you have 2-ply paper, then you have a real shot at the squareness. If you have Charmin, that's really good. Gawd help you if you end up with single ply. Like Scott.

In a pinch, such was the poopy pondering of that potty puppy, the young keithcancook. It's all true, I shit you not!

Don't forget to flush, and

Has there ever been a time when there was relative peace and harmony here in what I call BlogLand?

The only period that was relatively free of viciousness was perhaps the first 6 months of the blogs being created. The blogs began in late January, 2005. I opened The Venting Blog in March of that year, and I have been in and out of BlogLand ever since.

Over the years, I have seen many cool blogging friends leave due to harassment of this sort or that sort. I miss them, (really, reaLLY, REALLY miss them), but I keep blogging, meeting new friends all the time. This experience seems to be a constant. Making new blogging friends almost immediately upon returning from an absence. This I deem to be a positive in terms of BlogLand's overall health.

On average, there is a major blog war every 9 months or so. By major I refer to issues with those at the top of the "popular list". These affairs can be extraordinarily bitter, pitting blog buddies (who are originally outside of the battle), against each other due to their loyalty to the opposing combatants. A tight spot for many in this weird and wild world of social media. We are urged to choose sides. If ya say nothing and "sit on a fence", well you get condemned for that as well.

This is the time when the the greatest number of bloggers will leave or reinvent themselves under new profiles.

All of us who put their self out there on a social platform will have their haters. All of us. The haters who have entered The Venting Blog are still there. I do not usually delete their comments. Many times I have managed to eventually turn them into someone I can blog with. Those who remain bent on fucking with me eventually tire of the game. I outlast them. All of them. Mostly by way of ignoring them. I reckon they tire, and go bother other folks. (Trolls being trolls, as they say).

In any event, I have never banned a single voice from The Venting Blog. Not one. Even the particularly vicious ones whose comments I was forced to delete due to their attacks on others. Those bloggers are still welcome to come back here and try again. Heck, we all have regretted some things we have posted online, right?

In the end, the most important quality to enjoyable long term blogging is to have a thick skin.

Oh well, such is the state of blogging on a sex site in the 21st Century.

Overall, these blogs have been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me in the 12 years I've been goofing around with you guys. Thank you, for the once and future memories, and as always,

Blog on!

Authors note: Many thanks to today's muse, [blog misskissin], and her post [post 3954473] , which inspired this essay.
