nostatic at all...

Those pesky dreams...they point out the reality in sometimes oblique, sometimes obvious, and sometimes elegant ways. In this episode I was near Chinatown I think, and looking for a business called AI Somethingorother. I thought it was very close (walking distance), but instead the GPS said it was a long way off, in Monterey Park. Hmm. That got me harkening back to a conversation the other night about what's missing from digital (the soul of analog), and a comment that virtual humans will never love. That's when it hit me. AI - artificial intelligence. I'm working on an AI project right now and in fact was tossing and turning worried about budgets. But Chinatown and Monterey Park. Ai. Mandarin for "love." Ai v. ai. Thinking v. loving. Hmm. I have to ponder that some more...
