When I think of AI, I think of this line from the first chapter of Dune:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

I was hoping you would say that. Thank you so much! Now I have to google Jeon Jungkook. LOL! Btw, I got my kid his first Time Traveler tee 4 yrs ago. He's 17 now and has obviously grown. He still wears it often, and it gets washed all the time, but it held up great. Great quality product and print!

I ordered a Time Traveler's teeshirt for my son, actually this is the second one because he outgrew the first. On the receipt someone wrote they would go back in time to "August 31st, 1997". I do know what happened on that fateful day. But why that date? What would they do if they went back to then?

One panel comic with one person saying to another: Philip K Dick, Ray Bradbury. Like so many others in tech, I draw inspiration from completely misunderstanding those authors

“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. … But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be.” #RobertHeinlein #AugusteRodin #Rodin #TheOldCourtesan

I’ll play, not sure I can find 20 sculptures, but I’ll try. Do statues count as sculptures? Like if I posted “David”?

"She had to fight against developing too combative a personality or becoming altogether a misanthrope. She suddenly caught herself. "Misanthrope" is someone who dislikes everybody, not just men. And they certainly had a word for someone who hates women: "misogynist." But the male lexicographers had somehow neglected to coin a word for the dislike of men. They were almost entirely men themselves, she thought, and had been unable to imagine a market for such a word." - Carl Sagan (Contact)

"We all have a thirst for wonder. It's a deeply human quality. Science and religion are both bound up with it. What I'm saying is, you don't have to make stories up, you don't have to exaggerate. There's wonder and awe enough in the real world. Nature's a lot better at inventing wonders than we are." - Carl Sagan (Contact)

"You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other." - Carl Sagan (Contact)

"Do you know what your kindness does?" "No, what?" "It teaches people who thought love was a lie that maybe it isn't. It shows broken souls that there's still someone who cares without asking for anything back. You think you're just being nice, but you're actually re-introducing love to people who had forgotten it exists."

19/20-“The Shadow”-Edmund Blair Leighton

Lynda and Anita Gunn modeled for the painting, but it does depict the 6 year old Ruby Bridges, who was around 10 years old when Rockwell painted the portrait.
