I am watching you stake out the art thief
Beside the mirror hangs The Penitent Magdalene painted by Jusepe De Ribera. If you knew about art—which you don’t—you’d wonder if that was true. Instead, your eyes are drawn to the corner of a dim sunset that makes up a small portion of the painting. Mary glows in the light of a miraculous sun.

THE MYTH OF ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a rapidly growing field that revolves around the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI systems leverage various technologies, such as machine learning, neural networks, and natural language processing, to learn from and adapt to data over time. AI has the potential to transform many different industries and areas of human life, from healthcare to finance to transportation. For example, AI-powered medical diagnostic tools can help doctors detect diseases more accurately and efficiently while self-driving cars promise to revolutionize the way we commute and travel. However, the potential benefits of AI are accompanied by significant concerns and challenges. One major issue is the potential for AI to exacerbate existing social inequalities, either by displacing jobs or by perpetuating biases in decision-making. For example, some worry that AI-powered hiring systems might systematically discriminate against certain groups of people, such as those with non-traditional backgrounds or those who belong to underrepresented racial or socioeconomic groups. Another major area of concern is the potential for AI to operate without human oversight or control, creating autonomous systems that make decisions with potentially catastrophic consequences. This is particularly true in fields like military technology, where the deployment of autonomous weapons systems raises ethical and humanitarian concerns. As AI continues to advance and develop, it is likely that these concerns and challenges will become more complex and pressing. It is important for policymakers, researchers, and the broader public to stay informed and engaged on these issues to ensure that AI is developed and used in ways that are ethical, just, and socially responsible. Certainly, writing a book about the myth of artificial intelligence can be an interesting and thought-provoking topic. It would provide an opportunity to explore the myths and realities surrounding the concept of AI and to examine the promises and risks associated with this emerging technology.

Love's Reflection
Once upon a time, in a small town nestled between rolling hills, lived a girl named Lily. She was the middle child in her family, often overshadowed by her older and younger siblings. Lily had always been cute, with her rosy cheeks, chubby frame, and a smile that could light up a room. Yet, her physical appearance had been overlooked by her parents, who seemed to focus more on her siblings' achievements.

Late night reflections
One painting that has always captivated me is Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks," which depicts a late-night scene at a diner in an urban area. The painting is known for its use of light and shadow to convey a sense of loneliness and isolation among the people in the diner, who are all lost in their own thoughts and seemingly disconnected from one another.

Cosmic Spirograph
I don't know how many people would remember the toy, "Spirograph", but as a kid, it was far and away my favorite thing to play with. I enjoyed the order of bringing lines together in perfect synchronicity to create something completely new, vibrant and beautiful. It amazed me how, no matter how hard I tried to color outside the lines, I just couldn't when using the pieces properly. It was like a ballet dance being carried out inside a gazebo; where there was beauty and rhythm, but also form, balance.
