(I am tuning out politics (mostly - old habits diehard ;-/ ) for a while since the bad news overload gets a bit dispiriting and I have to go work on my actual field after a break of some 13 years..don’t ask..🙄 )

I used to like this as a kid. Though I just found out that it’s apparently a cover. Are all Carpenters’ songs covers? It was apparently a Canadian band called Klaatu that sang it originally. Not clear if it’s a reference to that scifi novel/flick:

Kinda giving up on signs of human intelligence (to the extent that I ever thought it existed..lol..), so alien intelligence (though definitely not AI) it is..probably why I thought of it this morning..

(Can’t tell which is a bigger scam at this point-crypto or AI..Crypto is more obviously a complete scam. With AI there is just so much of that worthless junk out there poisoning every space..the grift and junk economy).
