What will my next post be about?.
Hehe, don’t worry! As usual, it will certainly be dedicated to photography. So why such an intriguing title, you ask? I’m really in doubts from where to start. I love all the themes I’m publishing here and don’t have any priority. Well, I guess I’d prefer the ones that involve people and their actions or inactions. So today my post is a mix of materials ready for publication.
The idea for this “announcement” post came to me in the last evening when I was “fighting” with myself and almost made roulette, not the “Russian” one, but some looks like a one winner lottery 🙂 I put in front of me the list of the ready topics And instead of making a decision, I went to play the didgeridoo. For me didgeridoo is one of the best ways to get into a neutral state. Some kind of breathing meditation with an amazing ability to stop the running line of thoughts. Especially after I managed to master the technique of the circular breathing, the process stopped being technical and fixated on the thought that I should stop the sound to get some fresh air. For these who are interesting to see me paying, i will put a fresh short video to the end of this post.
Around 1am i got this idea to make a mix. This mix from all the topics i prepared. And I chose the representative frame for every theme – and two for some, sometimes i can’t stop myself :-). Some people will ask me: why don’t you CONSULT with AI? I’m not joking. I know a bunch of people who are using this exactly word, when they stuck with something or are thinking what prepare for a dinner, or where to go during the next vacation or which company to hire for the 4 floor building reconstruction. Yes, for many the robot became a “consultant”. And so these people end up in long lines at the same tourist attractions, etc. It’s like when the navigation application smarty taking all the drivers to the faster route, which became the jammed one just in dozens minutes. But I really don’t intend to complain about worshiping a new virtual god today. I just read that “Bill Gates warns that AI is more dangerous than Big Tech will admin and the industry was downplaying the risk, leading to unemployment and bioterrorism”. It seems the Godfather is unhappy that he didn’t get millions for the idea and now feels out of the game. But that’s a topic for another discussion. These are my personal impressions and understanding of what is happening and no one is obliged to agree with my train of thought. :-))
Here are the topics for future publications on my photoblog, listed in no particular order of priority..
