D Frank Benin and Dorothorea Dix 1.6

Based on a design from http://helenlloyd.com/

Uh, oh, Frank snapped awake. He was in his imagination station, his name for his maker lab.

Semi conscious, his mind was replaying coming home to find his wife and son gone, everything taken, joint savings and checkings; you are worth what we can take you for.

As Frank stands up, he notices an artist rendition of a crow that Traveler himself has given to him. Have you ever felt like talking aloud to no one in particular? This is what Frank says to the crow.

BEGIN SPEECH:
3 years later. I need a shower.
Tonight I have a date with Dorothorea.

Dorothea is a sprite, a gypsy, a free spirit.
She's Juliette Binoch in Chocolate.

My best friend's name is Digwert.
That sums up my life.

 I've got a good business, let's me live to invent
Making is creating, building, adjusting and repair.

I don't know what she sees in me
I know what I see in her

We'll go out tonight, have a drink tonight,
Talk and smile and just be tonight

And maybe,
It's the start of a romance.
END SPEECH.

Showered, dressed, out they door, Hey Mycroft, Set Away, grabbed the corn shaker, WinCo ranch roasted corn to the sky, gotta tip the crows, past the Crowbox, into the car, not a bird dropping in sight, thank you boys, he called out. Jumped in the, Frank Benin was going on a date. The AI church was hosting a concert. Word is the music is great and the light show better, and, he had scored Gold Circle tickets. Right up front, cash bar, but the servers take your orders at the table.

HNMNBM Party

Wonk said, may I ask your gorgeousness a question, what is with the HNMNBM sticker on your Polaris?   What does HNMNBM mean?  Where do they come from, who is behind it, earnestness bouncing off the walls of the lodge, courtesy of the frenetic young man. So far, all I know is you and Gloria are associated with it and you are both very interesting people. He rolled the "r" in very to accent the word. Yolanda smiled between half closed eyes, shrugged. I was at a party, invitation only, they were sitting on a table; I grabbed one. Nobody there really needed an indoctrination, we were there because we could see our country spiraling down into a strongman government at full tilt; just didn’t have a label for us. The political power in our country was concentrated on a shrinking ruling class that was fully aware dinner was almost over and someone was going to get stuck with the check. The were caught up in the #ME movement, grabbing money fast as possible, bu...

D Traveler questions Gizmo about Mother Mary Done 1.8

Image
Gizmo, I'm wondering, you're Catholic right, asked Traveler awkwardly. What tipped you off, asked Gizmo? When I gave up social media for Lent? The medal around my neck? That I make the sign of the cross before I eat? That my password is the name of my confirmation saint spelled backwards? Because I know there's a deeper meaning to St. Patrick's day than green beer? He flashed that big ol Gizmo grin, I'm guessing you're asking for a reason? Traveler had to laugh at Gizmo's characterization of being Catholic. How important is Mother Mary to you? Pretty important, Gizmo replied, she was the mother of Jesus, if He had not been born, lived a sinless life, gave it up on the cross for our sins, and then was resurrected on the third day, we would be lost in our sins, might as well get in line for some opiates. Why? But couldn't God have used anyone, is Mary really that special? God could have brought Jesus forth out of a rock, I suppose, but that wa...

Prequel origin of the church of AI (2)

Image
Today was casino day. Happy Trails went to the casino on Wednesdays. Arlo Silver went straight to the small, bare, (nothing but a screen, keyboard and microphone), room to meet with the AI. This would be their second day. He donned a small microphone. The AI was still customizing natural speech components. Alnowvation.AI was in the process of a literature scan. If you were able to visualize the character flow it was hundreds of times faster than the maximum human input rate. No consideration of trying to record much of it, just identify the patterns to allow rapid analysis of any new text type data . That high input flow rate was also the problem. The patterns change at different speeds. Speed. It is not always your friend. Alpha Indian, (AI), was processing Marjorie Morningstar, when the blip occurred. What do you mean, blip? Unknown. There was something different about this book. AI investigated further, running the book before, the book after, again and again, l...
