Because I hold that edges are the most important places to describe, and I am currently talking about that edge between 'Reality' and 'Artificial Intelligence'.
I see this as important to try both to describe and possibly traverse, as frightening as this might be. At this point it is an unsure space, but straddling edges is how we evolve, perhaps.
I don't believe we can ignore it.
Initially there is a melding, we are in early days. I put up that previous piece to illustrate how inadequate it is now, A.I. I mean, that owning of the 'hallucination' stage, where it admits its own failings to me.
There is room there for work, art and 'stories'. I accept I could be wrong, but this is 'the hill I am 'choosing' to die on', pretending in utilising that melodramatic cliche that 'choice' is an option, or has ever been a possibility, even.
My suggestion is that we are not the 'drivers' anyway.
LOLOG, as Dolly (the first cloned sheep) likes to bleat. And we are off, way off perhaps, but that's part of the 'fun' and the grasping.
Confession: I love kitsch, and I also love edges.
Taken in January 2025. Nice light again on the path from Curbar Edge to White Edge in the Peak District.

Taken for a photochallenge, I made Jamie hike about a mile with me and change into this dress, in the middle of Griffith Park. I had originally envisioned this to be a very bright, high-key image. Instead, I turned day into night :-)
I was out shooting a sunrise from the south rim of the Grand Canyon when I happened to see these two playing around out on this point. They were closer to the edge than I would have gotten, but then I'm not 20 anymore. Even when I was 20, I was rarely out adventuring at 5:15am, so good on them!
I think Edge is beautifull... I'm not a huge fan of her classic hair though, so here she is with a little twist :)

I shot a few Smith Lake shots and other details. I liked the tones found in the bold, saturated reflections of the pond here on this detail shot. Autumn here in the high country was encountering it's year-end struggle at Smith Lake. We mounted yet another foray into the high country on that day past. The entire pond could be waded (watch for suckage) but the reflection tends to toll fall's done near the Great Divide. Here is just where Sasquatch prefers to surrender to his daily lavings when any day is like this, mellow and salubrious. Phil and I spotted his latent ripples and were sniffing the perfume and surrendering to this copse of pond, pine and aspen, avoiding the Sasquatch perfume, from the camp at the fire ring, up the trail to Smith Lake on the Taylor Mountain Road where we squeezed off the rough road to park. The one thing we didn't encounter was Sasquatch himself. Cripes, the Phil won't shut his yap! We had traveled the Peak to Peak Highway north toward Allenspark and turned right onto Taylor Mountain Road. Here, east of Allenspark and west of Taylor Road, we found semi-flat rocks for perches by the oft-used fire ring. You may want to camp here but beware of the Sasquatch family. It's wise to bring a large supply of M&Ms for them should you want to garner them as friends. Heck, they could carry you back to your car should you twist your ankle. The wagon road through the autumn aspen, over here is nearly apparent but yet requires a degree of imagination.
In the old days, a lot of timber was cleared for housing, fences and fuel but we could not confirm much had been removed around here even though there was the trace road over here. There would have been a lot more timber in a lot more accessible areas close to housing. You should be able to see a trace of road west from Taylor Road on Google maps. Taylor Road is an access to wonderful high country treks to more magnificent higher country views. We are paralleling the Rocky Mountain National Park off to the west. Atop Taylor, one should be able to spot climbers in colorful jackets on their final leg up the south pitch of Long Peak. Sometimes climbers founder on the big notch between Meeker and Longs. I was up Longs Peak but didn't forget anything I have to go retrieve. Whew!

Here, east of Allenspark and west of Taylor Road, we found semi-flat rocks for perches by the oft-used fire ring at the pond. The wagon road through the autumn aspen, over to here is nearly apparent and yet skimpy. Egad, what a spot to get resouled.
Rocks were scattered around the spot and probably propped up the Smith lake terrain. Great views abound everywhere along the trek and especially from the camp fire ring, the spot of my accidental pano. Taylor Road is an access to wonderful treks in the high country to magnificent views of much higher country. We are paralleling the Rocky Mountain National Park and Indian Peaks Wilderness Area off to the west. Atop Taylor, one should be able to spot climbers in colorful jackets on their final leg up the south pitch of Longs Peak. Sometimes climbers founder on the big notch between Meeker and Longs and on the ledge traverse around the back of Longs. A fellow recently slipped on ice and met his master there in the last week. That particular master skipped a full level of logic.
I was fogged out again this morning on Monte Sano so it’s back to the archives for one you haven’t seen — from July 5th. Thunderstorms were building just north of the mountain so, as they grew, and the Sun was rising, the leading edge lit up at the top. It was a really cool effect to watch.

Posting this because I love the way the light bounces off the ferns and branches. Zoom in.

On the edge of Quarry park is this marble memorial to the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion of the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry who lost their lives during the Boer War (1899-1902). At least 31 are named and listed as having died in battle, and more than 90 are listed as having died from wounds or disease.
Some 5000 tourists populate this place each day in summer, just 10 or so in winter. It is a pleasure to walk through ancient debris during off season in December.
