Past & Present
I am concept-driven. I love ideas and sometimes, the nuttier, the better. Jerry Della Femina, a New York advertising agency icon, wrote, “Advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.” I would counter, “Bringing ideas to life is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.”
And that’s was advertising did. I was lucky to be part of it.
I like going to places I know little or nothing about. It helps me remain optimistic.
Trying to remain optimistic in Hungary was not the most astute move. The Hungarian definition of an optimist? A person who is ill-informed.
However, I was not ill-informed. I was not informed at all.
Budapest is a beautiful city, once called ‘the Paris of the East’ and I am a sucker for beauty.
Three Years on Mars is a chronicle of my journey to the Epicentre of Darkness.
I loved the place.
Jim Weir only has three problems. He is fed up with his career as a Hollywood television writer. He is becoming addicted to cocaine. He is madly in love and having a passionate affair with a married woman who is having the affair simply for rich, deep and powerful sex. “Nothing serious, right?” she tells him. Set in LA in the 80’s, follow Jim and Amy’s affair and discover the unexpected step Jim takes to resolve his issues. Written by William Lower, former advertising executive mentored by James Patterson.
There is no fine line between compromise and capitulation. There, it is no-man’s land. And Jim Weir is in it.
The light of hope he sees on the horizon is love.
Any attempt I have made to converse with any sort of diety has always felt conspicuously one-sided.
Which brings us to this book. Asking questions of an unproven deity in seeking truth is a fool’s errand. As you will learn in this book, AI does not have the capacity to lie. That is solely a human talent. And since so many of us are intrigued, excited, frightened, terrified or simply recognizing a new and potentially highly lucrative opportunity, many of us want to know more. Asking other humans is no guarantee of getting what you’re seeking which is the truth. (See comment above about lying.)
Do you want to know more about AI?
Why not get it straight from the horse’s mouth?
