Happy birthday to me which was three days ago and happy birthday to Huey Dewey and Louie!
That maybe I'm the only one who in my DuckTales in space headcanon and my stories somehow think that Huey Dewey and Louie are like the Apollo 11 crew that first set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. If Donald is like Gagarin, Della Duck is like Tereshkova and Anna Fischer, then Huey, Dewey and Louie are like Neil, Buzz and Michael. What do you think about that? I would love to see some kind of drawing challenge to see this famous DuckTales trio as the first astronauts on the moon in such poses in these space suits. That's just my opinion. Thank you!

"Hoofston, we have a Luna."
Okay, I got to admit I'm really proud of this one. Probably one of my best work yet!
With that said, Imma point out some of my mistakes that I got too lazy to correct for now. First off, the spacesuit. Yea, that is not an EVA suit. Second, since I'm trying to depict Apollo 17 here, the two HF antennas are missing at the rear of the CSM. Then again, the attenas would have been retracted during the spacewalk. But then again, the spacewalk should occur during the return journey to Earth, not while in Lunar orbit.
But that's just random spaceflight stuff that most probably won't notice, so maybe I'm making too big of a deal of it.

It is necessary to realize that technology itself is not the cause of our problem of [not having enough] time.  Its influence on our lives is a result, not a cause -- the result of an unseen accelerating process taking place in ourselves, in our inner being.  Whether we point to the effect of communication technology (such as e-mail) with its tyranny of instant communication; or to the computerization, and therefore the mentalization of so many human activities that previously required at least some participation of our physical presence; or to any of the other innumerable transformations of human life that are being brought about by the new technologies, the essential element to recognize is how much of what we call "progress" is accompanied by and measured by the fact that human beings need less and less conscious attention to perform their activities and lead their lives.
The real power of the faculty of attention, unknown to modern science, is one of the indispensable and most central measures of humanness -- of the being of a man or a woman -- and has been so understood, in many forms and symbols, at the heart of all great spiritual teaching of the world.  The effects of advancing technology, for all its material promise they offer the world (along with the dangers, of course) is but the most recent wave in a civilization that, without recognizing what it was doing, has placed the satisfaction of desire above the cultivation of being.
The deep meaning of many rules of conduct and more principles of the past -- so many of which have been abandoned without our understanding their real roots in human nature -- involved the cultivation and development of the uniquely human power of attention, its action in the body, heart and mind of man.  To be present, truly present, is to have conscious attention.  This capacity is the key to what it means to be human.
It is not, therefore, the rapidity of change as such that is the source of our problem of time.  It is the metaphysical fact that the being of man is diminishing.

AI Generator History, Present
Write a blog post pertaining to the start of ai generators who created the first one, where they are today and the future of ai.
Artificial intelligence (AI) generators are systems that are able to generate content that is similar to that which a human might produce. These systems have been in development for decades, and the first AI generators were created in the mid-20th century.
One of the earliest examples of an AI generator is ELIZA, which was developed by MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s. ELIZA was a computer program that was designed to mimic the responses of a psychotherapist, using a set of predefined rules and responses to interact with users.
Today, AI generators have come a long way from the simple rule-based systems of the past. Modern AI generators use machine learning algorithms to analyze patterns in large datasets and generate content that is more realistic and human-like. These systems are being used in a variety of industries, including journalism, advertising, and entertainment.
One notable example of an AI generator is GPT-3, developed by OpenAI. GPT-3 is a natural language processing system that is capable of generating human-like text, including news articles, stories, and even code.
Looking to the future, it is likely that AI generators will continue to improve and become even more sophisticated. It is possible that they will eventually be able to produce content that is indistinguishable from that produced by humans, leading to new possibilities and potential ethical concerns.
However, it is important to remember that AI generators are only as good as the data they are trained on, and they may perpetuate biases or inaccurate information if not used responsibly. It will be important for developers and users of AI generators to consider the potential consequences of their use and to use them ethically.
Overall, the development of AI generators is a fascinating area of technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we create and consume content. While there are certainly challenges and ethical considerations to be addressed, the future of AI generators looks bright and full of possibilities.

I had a Transformers dream last night!!
It started on a spaceship. The ship I’m on. It’s crashing. I’m getting directions from Ironhide over a comm to get my ass out of there.
I manage to find and put on a black skin tight bodysuit (something like you’d find under a mech suit) and a big glass dome for my head that seals to the suit.
The suit is so thin I’m having doubts about it protecting me from literal space but the ship is going down and the yelling is getting louder. I’m out of time and options.
I fling open the hatch -there’s fire around me- and holy shit their ship is a LOT farther away than I thought it would be.
I’m going on a spacewalk then. Great. I fling myself out of the hatch and aim for the ship.
I miss completely.
It’s dream physics missing though. I start getting pulled to one side. I’m freaking out. They’re freaking out. It’s Sunstreaker and Sideswipe on the comms now.
They send out a weird looking buoy. It looks like a metal briefcase with lights and propulsion. It pulls me towards a rendezvous point. I thank them profusely. I’m almost crying I’m so grateful to not be wilding it out in space.
I meet them at a decrepit ship. Sideswipe makes landing and explains we’re looting the thing before we head back to the ship.
I’m not much help. It’s dark and the floodlight I mysteriously have is out of batteries and I’m too worried about how loose the straps that are holding my phone in place. I’m afraid I’ll lose it. I fiddle with the straps while Sideswipe finishes looting.
In the end I loot next to nothing aside from some equipment near me. I also lament the fact I won’t be able to charge my phone anymore. I do briefly have an “awake thought” as to how it’s even working in space but don’t dwell on that.
Dreams are weird. But the low gravity is fun.
We dream jump cut. We’re planet-side now and I’m in a full mech suit. It’s not earth though. It’s not cybertron either. It’s distinctly organic but it must belong to the Cybertronians because there are a lot of them complaining about me being there.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are on either side of me warding most of them off.
The view changes briefly and damn do I look abysmally small next to them. Lol
We meet whoever is in change of the colony on the planet and he addresses everyone for a short bit before singling me out and calling me traumatized. I excuse myself from the group to shake off feeling humiliated. Once I’m done I go looking for the twins.
The planet is very pretty. The stone around us is rusty orange and there are big open cave systems. You can see the sky through big holes so nothing feels claustrophobic. There’s also moss peppering nearly every surface.
I wake up before I find anyone. :/

Chang-Diaz positioned on the RMS holding PDGF against Earth limb during STS-111 UF-2 EVA 1 by NASA on The Commons Via Flickr: Astronaut Franklin R. Chang-Diaz works with a grapple fixture during extravehicular activity (EVA) to perform work on the International Space Station (ISS). The first spacewalk of the STS-111 mission began with the installation of a Power and Data Grapple Fixture (PDGF) for the station's robotic arm on the complex's P6 truss. The PDGF will allow the robotic arm to grip the P6 truss for future station assembly operations. Astronauts Chang-Diaz and Philippe Perrin (with French Space Agency, CNES) went on to install the new fixture about halfway up the P6 truss, the vertical structure that currently supports the station's set of large U.S. solar arrays. Image number: STS111-306-012 Date: June 9, 2002
