My Fridays have been invaded by a tight schedule and around 2 PM I remember I should be on here! Maybe when the clocks change I can make it.

#scifichat I think they do but only in dollars worth of research. I expect them to use current AI models to program for consciousness. If adults today don’t do it, kids tomorrow will. Sorcerer’s Apprentice!!

#scifichat I have all the usual excuses for missing the chat again today. Loved reading the exchange on AI but would talk more about where it will be in 20 years. Will politics defund it as happened to space travel? Or will drone warfare currently being fought fuel the leap to conscious robots?

#scifichat today a Bill got signed into law green lighting a lot of cryptocurrency actions that will dwarf current AI models. Purportedly, this law prevents the Fed from creating an official crypto dollar. I’m expecting AI will be put in charge of money movements - or take charge.

#scifichat and I again missed out on this chat! Too many people in the house all needing my attention. Next week likely similar - family coming!

#scifichat. Not going to make it to chat today. Helping a dear friend trapped in a vile disgusting rehab facility. A novel in this! Galactic rehab place where humans lead aliens in escape to the stars.

#scifichat this week I also began setting up a new HP laptop with Windows which I hate. But I got it working. the HP has a touch screen which is nice, but not as clear as my iPad.

#scifichat My Scifi week was spent packing old paper backups of novel drafts and bundles of foul matter to go to the university that is collecting my "papers" I still have 4 huge plastic tubs to open and sort.

#scifichat A5 possibly might answer the classic help wanted add for a volunteer to test a Time Machine. Not at all sure I like it so much here and now. I don't recall which novel that add was in, but it was sucker bait.

#scifichat the free form LARP allows the player's subconscious to manifest in the story substance. If "madness" is what the creator is made of, madness will disrupt every scenario. And it is NEVER "JUST" team building.

#scifichat A6 - as I said, THE WALLS ARE TUMBLING DOWN! A storyteller must not only master all these forms (and Bardic forms) but try hard to invent and popularize forms that sprawl across all the forms. A good series premise can be used to bring out the best in each medium.

Jacqueline Lichtenberg @jlichtenberg.bsky.social · 18/04/2025
#scifichat that's how film scripts are done, but when I do a novel, I DON'T do motivations and goals. I throw a CHALLENGE at a Character. The responses reveal who that character is and what they want to achieve (so I drive them to achieve something else.) Collaborative fiction is very different

#scifichat as soon as it was available, one of my fans trained an AI on nothing-but-Sime~Gen. It actually wrote an original scene which wasn't bad - just needed a bit of rewriting to work.

#scifichat took a few minutes to search for book recommendations on my Kindle, but ran into sign-on issue on my phone, then really got lost on browser access on my desktop. Amazon is unwieldy.

#scifichat So I'm now wishing the next season of the Netflix NIGHT AGENT will acquire some real imagination. Come on - the Aliens visit the White House -- gotta do that one for modern times.

#scifichat we haven't even begun to explore Earth! There is so much more to learn about life, and about planetary dynamics. Did you see our Sun is building up to a more active peak, spitting ions at us.

#scifichat and soon we'll be sending autonomous AI craft to explore for us. Humans might turn cowardly with machines to take all the risks. What will AI do when they realize we send them to die?

#scifichat Yes! The secret is imagination, and BODYGUARD (British TV Netflix) just didn't have any. Dull, flat, boring where it should have sizzled.

Jacqueline Lichtenberg @jlichtenberg.bsky.social · 18/04/2025
#scifichat Not much SF in my week, but did finish Netflix BODYGUARD, a British Series about the political coverup murder of a British politician and the framing of the bodyguard. It was well done, but thinly plotted and just no SF thinking in the script writing even where it should have been

#scifichat I have had little time to read, but still working on IN DEATH SERIES which is less futuristic as it progresses. But I did watch all of THE HOUSE OF DAVID on Amazon Prime, and THE BODYGUARD which has another series about to post.

#scifichat yes, point of view is key to the Good Guys/Bad Guys identification. THE VILLIAN IS THE HERO OF HIS OWN STORY.

#scifichat A5 the ones I admire the most are based on actual, historical, cultures that function via a Pantheon. Bringing the forces embodied by our ancestors alive and into today is VERY DIFFICULT writing. None of the made-up pantheons I've read come even close in virtuosity.

#scifichat an odd thing just happened. I tried replying to Q4 and the buttons under the post that say ENGLISH and POST disappeared as I was typing. So poking at stuff I failed to post and lost what I'd written.

#scifichat A2 - I bet this wondrous world without Evil will soon have The ET Crafts landing all over, and the NEW MISSION OF HUMANITY will be to teach these argumentative folks that it is possible the get along peacefully. Of course, one must use force to teach such an odious lesson, right?
