This is the scary part of AI.
1) It's rubbish does not hold up under the most rudimentary scrutiny, yet it keeps spewing it with absolute confidence.
2) Ignorami keep amplifying the misinformation in their vacuous craniums and propagating it with confidence born of cluelessness
Everyone knows the theme from Jaws and the Star Wars theme.
That same mind, John Williams, created this incredible piece called Hymn To The Fallen to honor fallen soldiers. It has no equal.
Close your eyes and feel this music touch your soul.

I have been informed that I have very little time to live.
What happened?
I showed the following YouTube short to my wife🙂
youtube.com/shorts/GuVfMEczn…
This video begins with "Most people assume their children will take care of them."
If that is you, please check out this 30 second video, because it continues with "Well, that assumption lands a lot of people in nursing homes when they get older"

I'm cleaning up my phone. Deleting old photos. Moving quickly.
There's a picture of my dad playing with my dogs in my local park.
Hold on. WTF???
Dad never visited us after we got these 2 dogs.
I zoom in. It is not my dad. It is me.
I am starting to look like an old man😢
This pucture is the headline on CNN.com right now.
As a military, you know you are in trouble when you are being shot at by women wielding pink Glocks.
Hospital: Here's your bill. Please call if you have questions.
Me: Calls. I have lots of questions.
Hospital: We only do call-backs. Please leave your name/info and we will call you.
Call: It's the hospital calling. Please verify your DOB and SSN.
Me: HELL NO.
What now???
Saw this pinned comment under a YouTube video about the rescue of the F15 pilots:
"So we can spend $750,000,000 to save an American solder in Iran, but can not spend $75 to save a homeless American vet on US streets.
Is that our America First priorities?"
To whom a lot is given, a lot is expected.
Many believe nothing was "given" to them. They earned it all with their hard work.
That may be true. But it happened only because they were given the physical & mental capability to be able to work hard enough to achieve what they have
Mom & dad were getting old. Dementia. Memory fading.
But my aunt, dad's much younger sister, was the keeper of family history; the stories & the recipes. 💯 health. She'd be around for decades.
She died of a sudden heart attack before dad.
Time with elders is never guaranteed.
Having lived through this, I can tell you that this is 100% true.
While at some level this is comforting, it is also so unbearably painfully heartbreaking.
The cut-backs in the video are her performing the role in 1967.
Today, I had to confess to my wife that I have been lying to her for 20 years😢
I am not agnostic. I am extremely religious.
She discovered the truth when she realized that I had watched every single Canadian Olympic hockey game live. I'm still a zealot for the old religion😃
If you have 5 minutes, a few tissues and some moments to reflect, I encourage you to read this article.
This is so true and something most of us don't appreciate. Who is caring for the caregivers? Look out for them in your life and your social circle.

I would highly recommend this 22 minute interview with a Canadian officer, serving in a Ukrainian FPV drone unit.
I am disturbed by some of her revelations and opinions, but she is far more qualified to have them than most talking heads.
Pay heed to her!

I had the most realistic dream of my life. My dad convinced me to travel to Japan in his place for his new business venture.
I woke up, actually logged into my Delta account and started looking for flights before I realized it was a dream any my dad died 4 years ago.
Amazing!
Got a call while driving. They want to buy my house. What's my asking price?
After 15 mins explaining how much I want to sell, I say I want $10M.
Caller: That's ridiculous.
Me: My wife has forbidden me to say FU. Did I get the message across without it?
Caller: FU. Hangs up.
Age old story.
Women start something. It becomes successful. Women start making big $$. Men swoop in, take over the industry, displace women.
With AI generated images & vids, that's about to happen to OF. In 2027, the top OF earners are likely to be men, operating AI accounts.
If you can spare 2 minutes, I would urge you to please listen to this short poem about right and wrong.
The author has taken the thoughts out of my mind and put them in words more beautiful than I could ever string together.
