Here comes a wave meant to wash me away

A tide that is taking me under

Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say

My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry

And I won't start to crumble

Whenever they try

To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Written in stone

Every rule, every word

Centuries old and unbending

"Stay in your place"

"Better seen and not heard"

But now that story is ending

Let the storm in

I cannot be broken

No, I won't live unspoken

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage

I won't just lay me down and die

I will take these broken wings

And watch me burn across the sky

Hear the echo saying…

Slow it down, make it stop

Or else my heart is going to pop

Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot

To be something I'm not

I'm a fool, out of love

'Cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

Life is a maze, and love is a riddle

I don't know where to go

Can't do it alone

I've tried, and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment

I'm so scared but I don't show it

I can't figure it out

It's bringing me down

I know, I've got to let it go

And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky

Just like a giant spotlight

The people follow the signs

And synchronize in time

It's a joke, no body knows

They've got a ticket to that show

I want my money back

Just enjoy the show

In November 2022, OpenAl announced ChatGPT, trained on thousands, tens of thousands of Nvidia GPUs in a very large AI supercomputer: One million users after five days, one million after five days, 100 million after two months, the fastest-growing application in history.

And the reason for that is very simple. It is just so easy to use, and it was so magical to use to be able to interact with a computer like it's human. Instead of being clear about what you want, it's like the computer understands your meaning. It understands your intention.

Until ChatGPT revealed it to the world. AI was all about perception, natural language understanding, computer vision, speech recognition. It's all about perception and detection.

This was the first time the world saw a generative AI.

It produced tokens one token at a time, and those tokens were words. Some of the tokens, of course, could now be images or charts or tables, songs, words, speech, videos. Those tokens could be anything, anything that you can learn the meaning of. Everything that we can learn, we can now generate. We have now arrived not at the Al era, but a generative Al era.

In general, Balinese people name their children depending on the order they are born, and the names are the same for both males and females. The firstborn child is named Wayan, Putu or Gede, the second is named Made or Kadek, the third child goes by Nyoman or Komang, and the fourth is named Ketut. If a family has more than four children, the cycle repeats itself.

However, you might run into people with names that don’t fit into any of these categories. This is probably because they go by their nickname. With so many Wayans and Mades around, there are nicknames in Bali based on physical attributes such as Made Gemuk (fat Wayan), character traits like Ketut Santi (peaceful Ketut).

Balinese people try to be in harmony with their gods. They have two ways: ask the good for assistance and appease the evil. For this reason, you can find a small basket called Canangsa with flowers, oils, salt, money and cookies on all possible conflict points such as crossroads or bridges, but also in front of shops, especially on the sidewalks. You should walk carefully to avoid stepping on it.

You will find black and white checkered textile wrapped around statues, trunks, rocks or shrines. Everything goes back to the Balinese philosophy of balance. In the cloth there is an equal number of alternating black and white squares. Together they symbolize the coexistence of opposites.
