in the foreground, a man in a stiff black satin
nehru jacket with oriental knotted white silk
cord clasps, who is wearing a complicated
and culturally ambiguous folded silk head
adornment, is reading from some loose leaves
of parchment to an elaborate and mysterious
zoomorphicomechanical neo-ornamental audience,
who appears to be poised or balanced, in part,
on the raised extant ring of an ancient fountain,
or some other pool-like structure.
in the background, and off to the man's right,
a pair of austro-hungarian hunting sheriffs
seemingly listen reverently with bowed heads, but
one of them clandestinely refills his pipe, while the other
gazes furtively across the ruined fountain at another
small group of individuals, vaguely tibetan, one of which
seems to be looking back at him. the group consists
of two males, both in all grey pressed jerkins with
royal blue formal long sleeved undershirts.
the two women seem to be wearing all white
traditional, and possibly religious, robes,
with the addition of scarves, all white, or
maybe yokes is a better term, and loosely
fitting cummerbunds or wide wrappings around
the midsection. Both the men and the women
evince a curious shock of white hair on
the right side of their heads.
In the distance, further into the background,
lies a small cave from which a rich cobalt
blue tongue, possibly mineral is seen to be
issuing and reaching the ground. the entire area
appears to be steppe country, dry, with scrubby
sage-like plants, some low grasses, and a few
dwarf cedar-like trees growing in the shadow
of a low escarpment or upbreaking of the crust..
Nevertheless, these AI programs are, increasingly,
doing 'their own thing'......It will not be long before
AI has no need for 'human input', since it will have
already absorbed, processed and stored...for its own
utilization......all that mortal humans have created.....
