New Music! - Where is Dan? 

So creepy. Here's "The Letter" :-)

When a sweet little melody won't leave you (no matter what you do) - You write a song and try to stick it in someone else's head. lol

Here's "Sunday"  

New Music! Here's "Proof" - ;-)

I thought it might be fun to release some of my remixes of Black Chair. Here's the "Groovix Remix" ;-)

New music! "Black Chair" hit Amazon Music this morning (hooray!) - Should be streaming everywhere else soon! 

This is how I've always wanted to share this. I give you... "New Day" 🎉

You can find it on most streaming services now. It started as my morning alarm but now I have it looping on Spotify most of the day... it provides a nice affirming counterpoint to the chaos. lol

Growing up in the 70s, I was an introverted kid with a huge imagination. My grandmother had an old Western Electric 354 and listening to the local party line in Morgantown West Virginia was an interesting experience.

The video just makes me laugh. It took way longer to create but these tools are mind blowing. 

Without further ado... here's "Electric 354".

My new hero. omg.

Wow. Talk about musical genius.

OMG. One of my favorites (you see ;-) 

This is pretty good starter info if you know someone on the spectrum and want to better understand what they might be going through.

I'm going to put a christmas tree on my front porch and place a sign under it for amazon to put the packages there. 🌲😘

With the new GPT o1 preview released, I had to see it in action. I came up with a fairly easy challenge that might trip up an old generation. Here's the prompt I gave it...

"The same person resides on two timelines. Each experience the same challenge. Both attempt to solve the problem using different methods but only one action each. Of the actions they chose, one is right, one is wrong and one is correct. Please explain this."

The ChatGPT o1 preview solved it in 28 seconds. Watching it reason through the challenge was nuts. 

Here's what it concluded:

In this scenario, we have two timelines featuring the same person who encounters the same problem. Each version of the person attempts to solve the problem using a single action.

Here's the breakdown:

1. First Timeline: The person uses an action that is wrong.

2. Second Timeline: The person uses an action that is both right and correct.

GPT nailed it. OMG.

And then I got to thinking, why is the "right" answer also "correct"? The simple answer was acceptable but getting GPT a little closer to the rabbit hole might be fun. What if the answer was being defined in a more traditional context e.g. "This is how we've done it for years..."

Which could mean the person with the "wrong" answer might have had an alternate way to solve the puzzle in a non-traditional sense. Allowing for innovation that might even solve it in a more efficient way. Making it an accepted answer. Both wrong and correct.

Meaning both answers could be both correct and incorrect at the same time.

Presenting this to GPT: 

You bring up an important consideration. In my initial explanation, I treated the "wrong" action as ineffective in solving the problem, while the "right and correct" action was the successful solution. However, as you've pointed out, there can be multiple ways to solve a problem, and what is considered "wrong" might not actually be incorrect or ineffective.

But it didn't stop here...

Then GPT's reasoning thread preceded to go down a rabbit hole and watching it over-think everything was hilarious. 

Until it halted. I think there may have been smoke. lol

Learn to find the balance between fear and experience.

Always count on the Human Condition... but always bet on the Spirit.

Words are the new actions.

Sometimes truth is obfuscated in delusion

Me as a 50's TV comedian...

The Walt's Meats "Dick" Smokehouse Edition. Hell yes.

OMG. Some people can groove inside the groove. There is no spoon.

Action shot... lol

Wasn't hard but fun to pick.

Learn to spot the differences between patience and struggle. 

Today was the day. 👊🤘 

The key bitting was so meh... the security pins couldn't save it. 

Worth is defined and is in equal proportion to the value discovered by the observer.

A fun Friday energy exchange with the TD50X and a favorite Strat. I call it "Wasted guy stumbles to bathroom".

I don't think the guy ever made it. I think he passed out on the bar, dreamed about the crazy hallway and just pissed himself. lol

Today's request: Please balance my ego and spirit. Allow my ego to understand it's place and significance throughout our journey.

Let patience be my reaction choice, to quiet my ego and create the space needed for my spirit to lead. In all things, let my spirit lead today.

Thank you for the gratitude that allows this wonderful connection to You, my beautiful Source.
