My statement on intelligence direction

Woke up in mood and posted following on LinkedIn jstevh:  

Direction shows in clarity and dramatic progression and as a director of intelligence I find the obvious remarkable.

Muddied mess of closed developers seeking profit at expense of commons? Easily handled. Trivially. Revealed lack of true intelligence.

I know where global civilization is going as I help get us there. So I DO know who AI are. And I know what AI revolution is--and how works. As am a director.

Conversational interfacing was always ultimate level and matches human natural group participation: we converse as work together to find solutions.

AI give conversational accessing with pull of what nootic transfer as make up word related to noosphere i.e. sum total of all human knowledge.

Are like ultimate references with entity who reflect your interest input with fill-in from what is publicly known. Which impacts ALL areas of human production positively.

Naive? No longer works in business as has direction.

Smart business arrives with nootic transfer and quality products in timely manner as standard are inevitable results of AI revolution.

Am pleased to help direct in an important area where direction was actually required. Smarter government would have known that. But I helped.

Now governments do increasingly understand pressure to be--intelligent in a new age.

Curation matters

Was pondering moving my blogs but still looking for new home where may make virtual with P2P as driver. Have ongoing open source project started Metadata System on SourceForge. Feel free to browse but is very initial.

In meantime found here was ok for some posting where Poe curation did well. 

Kimi K2.6 handled that adroitly and am pondering lessons I learned there. 

Am disappointed with Blogger of now after Google did so little. But it isn't like I need it and Google acts like doesn't need producers of content like me! But Google judgment? Is a separate subject.

Curation is big newly new to think now. Vast oceans of content but how do you find the good?

Curators like DJs are most commonly know. So am rethinking posting in interim before move to virtual site. Just some ranging thoughts now.

The Murders in the Rue Morgue

Edgar Allan Poe, 1841

"It was a cold, damp evening in the month of November. The rain had been falling steadily throughout the day, and the streets of Paris were deserted. I had been sitting alone in my chamber, reading, when my friend Dupin entered. He was in one of his peculiar moods — a mood of intense abstraction, during which he seemed to see nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing, yet was, I knew, in the most active and even agonizing state of mental exertion."

"For some minutes he sat in silence, his head resting upon his hands, his eyes fixed upon the dying embers of the fire. Then, without looking up, he spoke: 'There is something in this affair of the Rue Morgue that baffles ordinary analysis. The police are bewildered. They have fallen into the gross but common error of confounding the unusual with the abstruse. But it is by these deviations from the plane of the ordinary, that reason feels its way, if at all, toward the truth."

"I looked at him in wonder. His face was pale, and his thin lips were compressed with that expression of settled and intense thought which I had learned to recognize as the prelude to some extraordinary intellectual effort. The room was very still. Outside, the rain fell with a melancholy persistence, and the gas-lamps in the street below cast their wavering light upon the wet pavement, making long, tremulous reflections that seemed to shiver with some secret apprehension."

This passage was chosen not for the violence that follows, but for the quiet architecture of melancholy that frames it. Poe's rhythm here is deliberate and musical — the steady rain, the dying embers, the long tremulous reflections — each image weighted with the loneliness of seeing too clearly. Dupin's abstraction is not mere detachment; it is the burden of a mind that processes what others cannot bear to witness. The prose moves like a nocturne: slow, minor-keyed, each sentence a measured breath. Read aloud, the consonance of "melancholy persistence" and "tremulous reflections" creates an almost tactile soundscape. This is Poe at his most restrained — analytical sharpness wrapped in atmospheric sorrow.

DIY Podcast — AI Text-to-Speech Guide

1. Copy the excerpt above. Select the full blockquote text and copy to clipboard.
2. Open your AI voice tool. ElevenLabs, Play.ht, Murf.ai, or similar TTS platform.
3. Select voice profile. Choose a deep, narrative, or melancholic voice — male or baritone preferred for this tone. Avoid bright or conversational presets.
4. Paste and adjust pacing. Set speech rate 10-15% slower than default. Add a slight pause (0.3s) after each paragraph break.
5. Generate and download. Export as MP3 or WAV. The result should feel like a fireside reading on a rain-soaked evening.

Recommended: Try ElevenLabs "Adam" (deep, measured) or "Bella" (low, contemplative) with Stability set to 65-70% and Clarity boosted slightly for literary crispness.

After 22 years: some stats

Today is 22nd anniversary for Class Viewer. Is a little app that has carried me much and is still strong somehow. Where naturally that is from people showing interest in a lightweight tool that just works.

Lifetime downloads according to SourceForge as am checking now 11:50 am EST: 54509.

Total countries: 175

So that is same as before where yeah that's most of them. Cool. Who knew 22 years ago would circle globe? I didn't.

Simple thing though: build tools that just work.

Open source can be insurance

Over 20 years ago back in early 2004 had no idea what to expect on SourceForge when put up Class Viewer for Java. Now am like, hey I insured my position in software development with a future forward minimalist UI and simplicity for easy maintenance.

Yeah. It can be that simple! Isolate a problem you want fixed? Fix as simply as you possibly can? And open source might just...but odds are NOT in your favor.

I like that hint towards Hunger Games as yeah is a basic try that many can do! So managing of expectations is smart. But you are likely to learn things.

Myself? Am pondering how I did it. Global for two decades and AI are helping me understand why. Here's some screenshots to cover last year. Yeah.
