Jack Kirby now has a New York street named in his honor.
Advanced Idea Mechanics, AIM, was created by Jack Kirby to oppose another one of his creations, SHIELD. An organization of brilliant amoral scientists and engineers, wearing outfits lifted from Dr. No, AIM didn’t see itself as being necessarily evil or good. It was simply working for itself, as if the only goal of the Manhattan Project in developing the first atomic bomb had been to prove it could be done.
Where AIM screwed up was in creating Modok. He was supposed to serve the aims of AIM, but he quickly dominated them and took over the organization. You can see where I’m going with this, regarding Artificial Intelligence.
Right now I’m listening to American Top 40 on SiriusXM, with one of my ten pairs of inexpensive wired IEM earphones. I enjoy making comparisons between them.
Today’s listening selection is with the first version of the 7Hz Salnotes Zero IEM. (There’s a second version that I also have.) I came upon this website with a review of the Salnotes that I hadn’t seen before.

Frieve Audio calls itself, “An audio company and product meta-review site that surveys dozens of sources worldwide and publishes reviews that can be treated as final conclusions.” I’m pointing this out because Frieve is obviously a work of AI that’s dependent upon other sources, most notably Audio Science Review.
The process of AI’s recursive consumption and regurgitation of its own sh*t will eventually prove the old adage of garbage in, garbage out. If it isn’t doing that already in some areas of interest.
