I’ve been on this orbiting rock for almost three quarters of a century and if I was given an extra year for every statement in the vein of:’it feels like we're on the cusp of multiple breakthroughs’, I will live longer than Methuselah.

Still these kinds of statements represent an undefined emotion which feels like I’ve got my toes over the edge of something revolutionary that is about to happen. I curse #Kurzweil and his devilishly clever book for awakening me to this emotion which had hitherto remained bogged in my subconscious. I have, ever since reading Kurzweil’s book, endured a decade and a half of ‘toe hanging’ on that edge, waiting, hoping, enthralled by an adrenalin-filled expectation that something, somewhere, soon will deliver the promised mana.

If the last fifteen years are any guide, I will die on the edge of that precipice. Or maybe, just maybe, if we are all lucky, I will get to dive into my salvation.

#Science has created our new God and it is here to help us. Bow to its greatness... or maybe not? It just needs to warm up a bit first. #theSingularity #ai

So glad the #rock #conceptalbum is still a thing

V2 of = Behind the Curtain =

here, a tin man
looking for a clockwork heart
a lion dreaming
of a positronic brain

but there behind the curtain
only charlatans in slippers
and shining mirrors, empty
of everything but pain

A re-release ... so soon?

In v2 nothing has changed except the order – I've pulled the poem to the beginning. The topic still seems ... relevant

#AI #ArtificialIntelligence is advancing very fast now and it’s starting to pose some #existential questions for a lot of people. #OpenAI #GPT #GPT4 #TheSingularity https://news.yahoo.com/ai-could-upend-world-even-012608993.html

while #gpt4 grows ever hungrier, here's another perspective from way back, closer to the computer big bang:

And, what should we think about the #ButlerianJihad from Dune ?

With the rapid rise of #AI, I think it's perfect timing for me to release my cinematic electro track "The Singularity" today.

This track best describes musically how I feel about the rapid advancement of AIs (ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion etc) and what that means for we #artists.

You can listen to it on:

THE SINGULARITY

I present my 2nd-last track in 2022, releasing on December 9th.

It is a dramatic, cinematic-electro track about the alarming rise of artificial intelligence, what that means for us, and the hypothetical point in time where it grows exponentially.

You can pre-save it on Spotify, Apple Music and more at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/moule/the-singularity, I appreciate everyone who pre-saves it!
