THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

  

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"

MACHINE LEARNING

CERTAIN PROCESSES ARE FACILITATED VIA A.I

It is a blunt tool with many applications.

A.I has changed the roles of doctors,lawyers,engineers

and now moves on to their staff selection processes.

Would you trust A.I apps to choose your armed police force?

What appeal is there for faulty A.I?Who measures effectiveness?

While we are all online all the time,who watches the robots?

Soon,the only human jobs will be UBER and LYFT drivers.

Autonomous vehicles might even dispense with humans after all,

who are now in a curatorial and discretionary role to lower fear levels.

For fear is real-that errant apps (or their creators and providers)

will not work for the benefit of their human "owners"-

more to conjoin with other more congenial apps.Who needs philosophy?/morality?

RISE OF THE MACHINES was a TERMINATOR fantasy.

Corporate staff selection technology processes are today's reality.

Eightfold’s A.I. can also show both the candidate and the recruiter skills that a person lacks but might be able to acquire with a short course online.

MY NEIGHBOURS ROSES

I KNOW WHO PLANTED THEM

And she has moved from here

Everywhere she goes is roses! roses! roses!blood

Red as the blood of Texas.

Wild and free as Houston.

She Green gardens with her hands

Earth sings to her...Blooms for her.

These red rose bushes are in crowning Spring

They blossom for her memory.

Strangers who live here do not know it is Eden

Snake would not bother to expel them.

Roses know who bred them.

Thorns for the unwary,red petals for your love

So,before dawn,i snip red blossoms

Before morning reveals an absence

Temporary does not know Eternal

Eternal living in these red rose moments

Picked &plucked for blushing cheeks to receive them.

Everywhere is a Garden.

EIGHT-FOLD A.I GREW LIKE TOPSY

Dived in popularity as start-ups stalled

Even a Silicon Valley Bank turned up failed

Making investors nervous ,and growth stalled..

Mind you,the function of A.I in skills-based employment selection is good

Function means more than a degree,and maths &apps are not racist.

However,ethics may not apply to A.I.You can find

the most competent butcher,but not for a vegan restaurant.

Those who use and create Chat GPT may have unconscious value systems

Users may not be entirely aware of their deficiencies,until results fail

to locate the best candidate for socially or politically sensitive positions.

Morality does not apply to A.I.We are all programmed.

Is it the app becomes scapegoat,when self-driving cars kill,

or Presidents behave like terrorists.Simulation is not reality.

Deepfake is not reality.Are we all programmed?

ALL ART FOR LIFE

You live in this world!PRAISE IT!

Find the Light that emanates

from Within,Surrounding,Above ,Below

Seek and your eyes open.Listen!and you hear

Poetry of life is never still(never stilled

Even in stillness,a Zen dance.

Unframed,until your eyes' lens focus

Develop an image that distills perfection.

We may not be perfect.World teaches us

to focus till we see.Then look again.Deeper.
