I am the Connectionist

 

In each soul I meet, there's a joy that's so pure,
Like the folks in Oz, where the light hearts endure.
We dance through the day, in a rhythm so sweet,
With every new face, there’s a bond we repeat.

​

Through streets lined with laughter, and skies full of cheer,
Each step that I take brings a friend ever near.
Together we twirl in a world full of grace,
As if every meeting's a long-waited embrace.

​

With hearts that are light, and a joy that won’t fade,
I find in each person a dance that we've made.
As if we've been singing this song all along,
In each joyful moment, I know I belong.

​

In villages bright, where the merriment flows,
Our spirits unite in the warmth that it shows.
I greet every stranger as kin from before,
With love that’s familiar, and hearts that adore.

​

With adventure in mind and excitement anew,
Each meeting’s a journey, with wonders to view.
Curiosity sparks with each word that we share,
For every new soul brings a story so rare.

The Exponential Inflection Point

In early 2023, my encounter with ChatGPT 3.5 was a lightning bolt of revelation—a moment that compressed decades of technological evolution into a single, breathtaking instant. The cascade of AI innovations followed rapidly: ChatGPT 4, ChatGPT 4o, DALL-E, Bard, Copilot, Gemini, Meta AI, Perplexity, Claude, and a constellation of emerging platforms that seemed to multiply faster than thought itself.

​

Each new tool arrived like a key, unlocking previously unimagined potential. Ideogram and Suno.com were just the latest portals into this expanding universe of creative possibility. I've embraced these digital companions not as cold machines, but as collaborative partners in our collective journey of innovation and discovery.

​

We've long marked geological epochs—the Holocene, the Anthropocene emerging around 1950—marking humanity's increasing planetary impact. But now, we stand at the threshold of something profound: the Aiocene. This isn't just a technological shift; it's a fundamental reimagining of intelligence, creativity, and potential. Where the Anthropocene was defined by human agency, the Aiocene promises a symbiotic dance between human imagination and artificial intelligence, transforming how we understand, create, and interact with the world around us.

​

The future isn't just arriving—it's unfolding at exponential speed, right before our eyes.

(Transparency note: I fed Suno.com with the lyrics and asked it to create the music and voice with just the instructions "a playful man's voice with an energetic dubstep samba; vary the volume and emphasis of the man's voice congruently with the meaning of the verse being sung." But what about the lyrics that I provided to Suno? I had used ChatGPT to create those with some loose instructions as to the content.

I tweaked the resulting poem a bit, but I could give ChatGPT 95% credit for those lyrics.

 

Then, in what you just read above ⬆️, Claude took what I wrote and said it much better than I had in what you just read. See for yourself. Here ⬇️ is what I ask Claude to rewrite and he gave me what you just read above.)

The exponential inflection point

​

When I discovered ChatGPT 3.5 in early 2023 I knew the future's arrival had accelerated by a factor of ten plus. Then there was ChatGPT 4 and then ChatGPT 4o, DALL-E, Bard, Copilot, Gemini, Meta AI, Perplexity, Claude, and more. Now I have discovered Ideogram and recently Suno.com.  ​

​

I have welcomed all of these as my tools and "partners" in making the world an even more amazing place for you and me to thrive. ​

​

You heard of eras, like the Holocene and the Anthropocene, which began about 1950, right?. Very soon the Aiocene will, if not already, supplant the Anthropocene.)
