Made you look

With the rise of ChatGPT and similar AI tools I wonder if there is going to be a rash of people trying to make copies and forgeries. With more and more art being digital, and based on Made You Look of NETFLIX, there could be a lot of money to be made in trying to create images and paintings that can be passed off as originals by acclaimed artists.

God is not surprised

It seems that right now in the US (and the world) chaos is the norm. Society seems to thrive on chaos today, every day there is new twist or surprise. The news is full of chaos and suffering. Dramas and documentaries always have a twist and surprise that introduces the unexpected to the narrative. Entertainment media seems to thrive based on the chaos of the personal lives of music, movie, TV and online stars.

God however is never surprised by any of this. Nothing is happening that He is not aware of. He knows what is happening to everyone, everywhere, all the time. He knows what happened last year, last week, yesterday, and what will happen today, tomorrow, and next year. So, God is still in charge. That has not changed, it will not change. What is changing, and what can change, is how people, including YOU, choose to respond to God.

COVID-19 TN vs Russia

I am not a big fan of Bing, but MS has a nice COVID-19 Tracker – https://bing.com/covid What is interesting is that until yesterday TN (with a population of ~6.7 millon) has consistently had more COVID-19 cases than the nation of Russia with ~144 million people. That changes a bit yesterday, and as of this moment – 9:25AM EST 3/31/20 – TN has 1,834 cases and Russia has 2,337. Regardless of the spike this makes me wonder if Russia is not testing, not reporting or doing something fundamentally different to limit the spread.
