There is now a movement on to teach Claude, Anthropic’s AI minion, morality. The question is, whose morality is being taught,, and will Claude understand it?
Back in the era of sprots writers like Grantland Rice and Tim Cohane, legends were created though magnificent words.
For me, movies that go for style over substance are generally unwatchable.
The Question:
What were the top hit songs of 1951?
The Headlines:
--September Job Numbers Come in Cool; Markets Like it. NVidia Market Cap Hits all Time High of $5.7 Trillion.
--G7 Ok’s Release of Diesel Oil Reserves as Shortages Strangle Transportation Costs.
--New Weather Maps Predict Heavy Snow as a Result of Super el Nino.
--Trump on Campaign Trail.
There is a lot of misinformation coming out about the Cornell rape case and it is mainly politicians who are spewing it.
There are two ways to look at diversity. One: It exists. Two: You can't force it.
A new Goldman Sachs study says that 40% of people making $300K or more are living paycheck to paycheck. Which just proves when people got it they buy $12 coffees.
I am big on historic preservation, restoration. But I don't mind good crisp well-conceived contemporary architecture. But, we always get mired down by that old ‘eye of the beholder” thing.
There are from my point of view a couple of interesting college games this weekend. Ohio State and Iowa and USC Washington are appealing. One team surprising a many is Florida.

The Answer:
Number one was Too Young. Next is, Because of You, How High the Moon, Come on-a My House, The Tennessee Waltz, Cold, Cold Heart, It's No (Sin) and Mockin’ Bird Hill.
This big hit was on the charts for 17 weeks beginning in late 1951 and peaked at number 2, was one of my favorite songs in 1951. It doesn't seem to have the edge of today's music, does it?
Have a great Weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
