I was asked does a person need to read The Atlantis Crystal to read The War of the Crystals? Or does it stand alone? Answer - I totally rewrote the story. Within the next few chapters you will see where it begins to vary from the original. I simply mention the original story because A) I believe in giving credit where credit is due, and B) I can absolutely guarantee that if I don't mention it, somebody is going to complain that I am plagiarizing a story! I discussed that a few blog posts ago.
Ther was a small error in Chapter 3. The coding to place the last pic was incorrect and it was placed at the end of the chapter. I’ve uploaded a fixed chapter, and it should be fixed soon. Sorry about that. Please keep me informed. Thanks.
I recently read a news story on ‘Tilly Norwood’. For those not aware, Tilly is an AI ‘actress’, totally faked but so realistic you can’t tell she’s not human. She was created by Xicoia, the AI division of Particle6 Group. While she hasn’t been put into movies or television shows, this simply shows what the future might hold.
Why do I mention this? Because of Rule 34 - If it exists there is porn of it. Today, Tilly takes millions of dollars of hardware and software, along with highly trained graphic artists to create. In two or three years, that cost will be down to a few hundred thousand dollars and AI actors will be showing up in commercials and ads. In five years, it will be cheap enough that teenagers will be using it on a tablet to create their own version of Tilly getting airtight with three AI generated guys.
Whether you like it or not, the future is rushing towards us!
