For years I have tried to get a screenplay from Micheaux. I know he made books but most of his books are very old, in expensive collections and have only been photocopied, not transcribed, and if transcribed the stories are in other works.  But the betrayal is the only access to a screenplay I am aware of Here is the extended page https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/677-oscar-devereaux-micheaux-books-plus-films/

More than one reader has contacted me asking how I managed to explicitly portray the Great Dismal Swamp in “Escape To The Maroons.” Since that was my intent, I’ll take the compliment. But after visiting the place, I don’t know that any writer can truly describe how extreme surviving there must have been. When I traveled to Virginia and spent a day touring the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, a Ranger drove me around to show me several highlights, including Lake Drummond. Today’s

Can I Use AI To Make Models For 3D Printing? By Caleb Kraft With all the hubbub around generative AI, it isn’t a stretch to start wondering in what new areas of making we might see this stuff proliferate. You can easily have ChatGPT write text for you or analyze your writing. You can instruct Midjourney, Dall-E, and other image generators to draw highly detailed, pixel-perfect creations in a variety of styles. What about 3D printing though? Can you type into a text box and obtain
well, with this initiative, I think the future of "AI"/Synthography is huge going forward so all the artists who like to talk about how they want to delete "AI" art I think have to have a wake up call , it's over. the children today, will embrace "AI", this initiative in my eyes is the death knell to any anti "AI" movement https://orise.orau.gov/ai-challenge/   IN AMENDMENT I am not a user of "AI". Anyone who has communicated with me knows I do everything as manually as poss
The Negro Spirituals predate the USA, as do the Work Songs. Imagine what has been lost is how the NEgro Spirituals plus work songs changed from the early 1500s to circa 1865, when the war between the states ended. I don't even know how that knowledge can be obtained as written records for black art were not allowed by the white enslavers.....   NEGRO SPIRITUALS The Project Gutenberg eBook of Religious Folk-Songs of the Southern Negroes This ebook is for the use of anyone anywhere

I read the introduction from OpenAI  I remember learning about browser design and I told my friends a browser that can go into a web page and extract will be very useful. I still think that is true but I also comprehend the level of security problems this leads to.  OpenAI clearly comprehends a lawsuit can hit them so they have started using this through ChatGPT, and show one financial issue as it is only for people who pay for ChatGPT pro.  But they plan to expand to Plus, Team, and E

First work published in the usa by a black person in 1865 , circa after the thirteenth amendment, by the only person to publish poetry while enslaved in the history of the U.S.A. is attributed to George M Horton.  He published three works while planned four in total, to my knowledge through Wikipedia.   The Hope of Liberty (1829) This was Horton's first true attempt to buy his freedom. Most of the poems in the collection were themed around antislavery either indirect or directly
@Delano asked a question about rogue computer programs. The following is my answer   @Delano The first thing is to define what going rogue means for a computer program?   If a computer program malfunctions is that going rogue? a malfunction from the source code in a computer program is equivalent to a genetic disease in a human. The system has an error but it is natural, it is not induced. a malfunction from code ingested from another program or some faulty el
