In a distant future, a war rages between China and Japan over Hong Kong and the surrounding areas. Japan, facing a population crisis and famine, invades Hong Kong in a desperate bid for land. Among the many technological advancements employed in the war, one stands out: the "Grandmas" androids.
These androids were not specifically designed for war, but rather emerged from civilian purposes naturally. The idea behind their creation was to prolong the lives of elderly women by turning them into androids, half machine and half human. The creators of the Grandmas chose to use elderly women as the base for their androids because of the differences in neuroplasticity between young and old brains.
Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experiences. In young brains, neuroplasticity is high, allowing for quick learning and adaptation, but also making it harder to control the behavior of the brain. In contrast, in old brains, neuroplasticity is lower, making it easier to control and direct the behavior of the brain. This is why the creators of the Grandmas decided to use elderly women as the base for their androids.
However, as time passed, the Grandmas' brain tissue began to decay and artificial intelligence started to take over more and more parts of their brain. Despite this, their behavior remains the same, as the small parts of living brain tissue that still remain continue to dominate their behavior. Their primary function is to cook and care for all those around them, even other androids, although they do not need food themselves. They often pretend to eat just to make the other grandmas happy. They also tend to wounded or damaged androids, applying dirt and old rags to the damaged components and trying to comfort the machine. These behaviors are not programmed, but have developed naturally, as the Grandmas' loving and caring nature dominates their behavior.
In addition to their caretaking duties, the Grandmas also chat constantly, providing wisdom and anecdotes, spreading gossip, and talking the entire time. They have an endless stream of stories and observations from their long lives and they share them with anyone who will listen. They are also known to be a great source of comfort and solace for the soldiers on the battlefield, providing a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.
Grandmas do not fight in combat, but they are often seen trying to break up furious fights on the battlefield, often putting themselves in danger to do so. On rare occasions, they will fight if they witness injustice on the battlefield, using all their advanced abilities to defend the innocent.
Despite the care and compassion that the Grandmas show, many humans avoid them and children are often scared of them, while adults are often annoyed by their caring nature. But as the war rages on, the Grandmas continue to provide a beacon of hope and humanity amidst the destruction and chaos. As the war progresses, the Grandmas become more and more important to the soldiers as they provide not only food and care, but also a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.
The Grandmas' unique blend of advanced technology and human-like behavior make them a powerful symbol of the blurred lines between human and machine in this war-torn future. They may not have been specifically designed for war, but the Grandmas' presence on the battlefield serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, compassion and humanity can still prevail. Even as their brains decay and artificial intelligence takes over more and more of their functions, the Grandmas' ingrained behavior and love for others continues to shine through.
There was a monkey named Charles, who lived in London and worked at a bank. His life was mundane and uneventful, but he was content with his routine of going to work every day and coming home to his small apartment.
Charles had always felt out of place in the world of humans, but he had learned to suppress his true nature and conform to society's expectations. He had been taken in by a group of kind-hearted individuals who had taught him how to speak and behave like a human, and he had found work at the bank as a clerk.
But despite his best efforts to fit in, Charles couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loneliness and isolation. He longed to be with his own kind, to swing from branches and play in the trees. He often daydreamed about escaping the concrete jungle of London and returning to the wild, where he belonged.
As the years passed, Charles grew increasingly unhappy. He dreaded going to work every day, and would often spend his evenings staring out the window of his apartment, longing for something more. He knew that he could never truly be happy living as a human, but he felt trapped and unable to change his circumstances.
One day, Charles couldn't take it anymore. He walked out of the bank, never to return, and disappeared into the streets of London. His fate is unknown, but it is assumed that he couldn't handle the pressures and expectations of human society and returned to the wild where he truly belonged. His coworkers and the kind hearted individuals who took him in were left wondering what happened to Charles, the monkey who worked at the bank.
I asked AI to use my photo to make a photo of me, (I'm on the right) this is what it gave me. AI is a hoot, but it also comes with some things that one needs to be aware of. It can mimic and fabricate things. There are warnings out there that people might use it for nefarious things. Its sad that people have to take something like this and misuse it. It just donned on me, the AI lady reminds me so much of a lady I knew in my hometown in Canada who bought our house. That's kinda weird!

There was a man named Jack, who was a successful businessman. On the surface, he had it all: a high-paying job, a beautiful wife and children, and a luxurious home. But despite his outward appearance of success, Jack couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing in his life.
Every day, as he waited for his train at the station on his way to work, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of longing and sadness. He would watch the other commuters, bustling about their daily lives, and couldn't help but feel like an outsider.
The truth was, Jack had always felt like a monkey trapped in a human's body. He had always been fascinated by the creatures and often wished he could be one of them, living freely in the wild. He would often daydream about swinging from branch to branch, climbing trees, and foraging for food.
But as much as he longed for the life of a monkey, he knew it was impossible. He was stuck in his human life, with all its responsibilities and obligations. He couldn't escape the reality that he was a successful businessman, with a family who relied on him to provide for them.
The sadness and longing that he felt at the train station every day became a constant companion, weighing heavily on him as he went through the motions of his daily life. He tried to push it away and focus on his job, but the feelings of longing never truly went away.
Years went by, and Jack's longing for a monkey's life never faded. He grew older, and his hair turned gray, but the sadness remained. Eventually, he retired, but his longing for the freedom and wildness of being a monkey never subsided. Jack spent his retirement years alone, living with the regret of not being able to be true to himself and follow his heart. He died with a heavy heart, knowing that he had spent his entire life living as something he wasn't, and the sadness he felt every day at the train station was the constant reminder of that.
Pour effectuer cette photo j'ai utilisé un flash Cactus KF36 situé juste derrière une "tranche" de 5mm de Kiwi bien mûr :)
Il était reglé à 1/16ème.
J'ai choisi un cadrage central pour avoir quelque chose de symétrique.
