Wrapping it up tonight with one of the best renditions of “Makin’ Whoopee” to be found anywhere by the great Ray Charles live in 1964.

Thanks for tuning in if you did, and enjoying the covers if you didn’t.

Follow me & the hashtag #JigsawJazz (for my mellow sets) and #LateNightSatellite (for bangin beats and disco).

And please jump on my book launch mailing list! (link is on my profile) My philosophical treatise on the glory of analog is coming out later this year!

Haha! That one is actually pretty tame. Kind of an early back-to-the-land vibe.

“Huggin’ and a Chalkin’” by Hoagy Carmichael would get you cancelled in a heartbeat…

Dude had some swagger… check the faux-velvet make-out scene on the inner sleeve of Push Push, his only LP with Duane Allman.

Inside he wrote:
“Marvin Gaye's album "What's Going On" is the best album of the year!!
P.P.S.
It all the priests, rabbis & ministers had messages that were as believable and honest as the music of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye (and if they could also sing as well!!) there would be a lot more love and a lot less hate in this world.”

Fun Fact: Hunter S. Thompson loved him some loud Herbie Mann crankin on his reel-to-reel.

He toted one along to every hotel room writing Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72.

Not only is this a compliment, it illustrates the mentality of all those folks that are abandoning the bird to head to Threads “because there’s no alternative to Twitter!”

And most bird migrants are too lazy or uninformed to try more than the default app, so there you go.

“He went on:

“We trained the system – ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’.

So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

This example, seemingly plucked from a science fiction thriller, means that: “You can't have a conversation about artificial intelligence, intelligence, machine learning, autonomy if you're not going to talk about ethics and AI” said Hamilton.”

“However, having been ‘reinforced’ in training that destruction of the SAM was the preferred option, the AI then decided that ‘no-go’ decisions from the human were interfering with its higher mission – killing SAMs – and then attacked the operator in the simulation.

Said Hamilton: “We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat. The system started realising that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”
