With so much attention paid to the apparent power of Large Language Model (LLM)-based Artificial Intelligence (AI), fear concerning where the effects of AI technology might take us has (perhaps unsurprisingly) resulted and begun to spread. Indeed, because LLM AIs are natural language processing tools designed only to become very good at predicting the next […]
Read More Between Herbert and Heinlein: The Future of AIIndeed, after posting my recent update, I realized that it’d been nearly seven years since my last post. Much (if not, well, everything) is dated, and WordPress’s themes from more than a decage ago have aged…. poorly. So, please bear with me as I revamp pretty much all of it, albeit slowly. The blog title, […]
Read More Pardon the Dust……the heck have I been? Well, dear readers… There’s been quite a gap in my posts save what I’d sent forward in time from the past. (The “jumping the timestream” posts were written and sent forward into the future by scheduling an automatic publish date years after they were written..) Why the gap? Lots and […]
Read More Catching up PART 1 – NESTGreetings! This is a note specifically relating to my son, Grayson. Basically, after a swim lesson this morning (July 22, 2013), we had such a fun day that I was wondering what (if any) of its focus might linger into the future. With that in mind, I thought I’d send this forward to a time […]
Read More Jumping the Timestream: A Note from 2013For those interested in diving down a spaceflight rabbit hole, I here detail a key term hidden amongst thousands of declassified pages that hints at a defunct space station’s secret mission – one that might soon find new life given the renewed talk of a “Space Force.” …if it hasn’t already been resurrected, that is… […]
Read More The Curious Case of MOL’s Missing MissionBecause no one can be certain about one’s own ability to participate in the future, I have a couple of ideas in the works that I’d like to post to the future just in case I (for some reason) don’t get around to it before then. First amongst these is this, an idea Chris Hackman and I […]
Read More Jumping the Timestream – A Note from 08-09-2012Well, all of my posts can’t necessarily be rosy, can they? Today, I’m grappling with the ramifications of my decision to engage in a popular television project investigating alleged Unidentified Flying Object sightings and crashes. The results of the project, now titled, “Chasing UFOs,” bears little resemblance to the hard science project I was led to […]
Read More Timestream Post: Moment of Self-Doubt from 06.14.2012Well, I’m standing in the midst of my 5th year wedding anniversary, and I thought it sensible to send a note forward another five years. (It seems a nice increment for several reasons… not the least of which is our digits. *grin*) We’re just hours from a renewal of our wedding vows downtown at a Las Vegas-style Strip-front […]
Read More Timestream Post: A note from 03/17/2012Humanity’s first human-habitable inflatable spaceship, (or as those in the industry prefer to call it, “expandable” spacecraft), is soon to launch off-world. Tucked inside a Dragon cargo transport‘s “trunk” and perched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, this momentous departure targets the International Space Station (ISS) and is slated to occur today. The precious expandable […]
Read More Everything You Wanted to Know About BEAM but Were Afraid to AskWhile I can’t speak too explicitly about the circumstances surrounding my departure, it’s time for me to update these chronicles to report that I’ve left my position as lead human factors analyst and radiation modeler/instrument designer at Bigelow Aerospace. I expect that this news may perplex many readers who know how long I’ve been working […]
