I've been "encouraging" my keyboardist friend (the Classically trained pipe-organist who I've featured here before) into new horizons. He's a big psychedelic proponent now, so I've introduced him to some old Tangerine Dream (like Phaedra and Rubycon) as well as Phillip Glass (who he loved) to see what he can come up with! I'll be over there this Saturday again to help make some noise. Looking forward to it! ☺️

Dayum! He's certainly grown up to be a good looking pupster!

Man, you guys ARE old farts! ? I was "only" born in 1963, but I found I can easily keep up with kiddies half-my-age lately and have stayed up all night either programming or partying (no hard drugs or alcohol either) at least eight times over the last two months. Actually, life has really turned around lately and been a lot of fun (albeit going from having nothing to do work-wise or socially, to having too much to do! Nope, not complaining! ☺️).

No idea why the link didn't expand in your reply Grem!

I'd say the stretch is calling some of those who patronize those bars "adults." ?

*Wibbles is triggered!* ?

These events are easier to take when you live to be around 95! He had a nice, long life.

I blame Yoko. ?

Actually, some CAN code themselves.

Obviously a Government job. ?

Whoa! You had a subwoofer that could cook and clean??! Impressive!!! ?

The guy I'm working with right now is going with me to a Meetup group to discuss ChatGPT applications tomorrow. We've already created a couple of demo apps that show how companies can use AI to augment their businesses. I demoed a full, working, website that does a few length conversions where it literally took me about 20 seconds to write the correct question (called a prompt) and it spit out the code. I only had to click on the copy button, paste it into a text file and name it with an .html extension. The structure, CSS and HTML along with javascript algorithms were created for me in just a few seconds. Although I can see this as being a helpful tool, I personally am not a fan and am only involved because it's one of his projects and I needed the work! Our original demo apps could feed the same prompt to multiple AI models to see how each responded (a few performed really poorly!) and one of our newer ones will feature having two or more (currently up to four) AI models interacting with each other. I've been programming for over 52 years now but I'm not really sure what career choices I would recommend to young people now! That said, I'm also in areas that are extremely into the woo-woo areas and both have seen and done things no AI will ever be able to do (and what humans were all able to do at one time though it's being "programmed" out of us). 'Nuff said as they say.

Be-Bop Deluxe - Orphans Of Babylon

Pearl Jam - Alone

Oh, he definitely pulls out the fretless guitar in his concerts!

Damned - Alone Again Or Yeah, it's a cover, but this is one of those songs that I literally just have to loop! LOVE IT! Plus the video is a trip!

He grew up with a guitar and it's just an extension of him! Awesome. ☺️

More like it was lost in the 1990's!

I expected that response. ?

808 State - Plan 9

Wait... You care about safety??? ? That probably means I'd have to wear a helmet and land in a net too? Never mind then. ?

RS is still far more of a problem...

There's just too much already!!! ?
