Is the Walrus Truly Dead?

 The Beatles, yes, those Beatles, released a new song today.  Enjoy. 

Peter Jackson produced a short documentary about the production of the song.

Well, you really should recall that the walrus was Paul. "Here's another clue for you all. The walrus was Paul"

Ai is real. Don’t believe anything you see or hear on the internet anymore unless you know it to be factually true.

It's not AI -- Paul and Ringo completed it.

Large Language Models (LLM) and text-to-image generators like Dall-E and Stable Diffusion, aren’t AI.
Neither are creating unique works. In fact, they are incapable of creating anything without prompting and pulling from their databases of existing works.
The largest advancements have been to get it to return something useful from a human prompt.
Their power lies in building an index of information and then cataloging whether of or not it matches what the human was looking for.

“AI’s” lack of critical thinking and creativity are why you are still picking out stairs, bridges, crosswalks, bicycles, buses, traffic lights, boats, and fire hydrants in reCaptcha.

I have never understood, though, why these four nice-looking young boys couldn’t get their hair cut and take on responsible jobs like broking stocks or plumbing.

Well, if AI is real how does one know if what he/she/it hears or see's is factually true? This will be pondered for the rest of mankind.

It isn't "AI". They used digital software to pull John Lennon's voice off a 50 year old master tape and restored the sound. (Tapes use magnetic imprints and don't hold up well over time.) This is literally done every day in every studio across the world. It's like taking an old family photo and having it scanned and touched up digitally.

In the music world, "AI" is actually used to write about 30% of the pop-country and hip hop you hear on the radio. Nashville (and Atlanta for hip hop) have focus groups that study why a popular song did well. They dissect and narrow down the key, timing, and lyrics that had the most "impact" to the listener. Then they take that data and put it in an algorithm. The computer then writes the new "hit" song. You'd be surprised by how much music on the radio was written by a computer. Hint... If a country song in the last 2 years has the word "whiskey" in it, a computer probably wrote it.

The song sucks and the singing is garbled. It's just a mess.

Boomer say AI is da DEBIL

"Free as a Bird" was supposed to be their last song, completed well after John's death. I had high hopes but I think this one missed the mark.

Also, Paul is dead. He died in a car crash in 67 and the coverup has been never-ending since.

It is funny that you mention that.
There are many who are researching if AI may actually summon demons.
If you recall the very early works of prompt generated images, they looked very demonic.
There have been theological debates on whether or not computers and the internet may violate the demon Seals and Keys of Solomon that keep demonic world locked away from our world.
Basically, this technology could be facilitating demonic possession and opening doorways that might otherwise be closed.
Allowing demons to see without eyes, to speak without mouths, and to hear without ears.
Things that would otherwise require them to be inside a person.
Now they can use technological devices.
It was written in the Book of Enoch that the Fallen taught men how to forge armor and swords. And that they also taught women to practice incantations and mated with them to create the Nephalim.

Playing in a cover band, a boomer and I, with two forty-somethings. The other boomer said something about adding some Beatles tunes to the set list. One of the forty-somethings said, "Beatles ain't shit."

I said, "Man, the only reason you're even on a stage in a honky tonk on a Saturday night is because of the Beatles."

Forty-something was unmoved and repeated what he thought a trenchant response, "Beatles ain't shit."

These kids today. America is lost.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
