    Message from Leah Vasquez...This month's topic was for evolving technologies integrating artificial intelligence. Kier Lane and Chip Malinowski will be our guests discussing and exploring the far-reaching impact AI is having on culture, including all forms of expression.

    Chip Malinowski
    Chip Malinowski is a retired rocket engineer and has been a Computer-Generated-Imagery hobbyist for over 13 years. He has published picture-books of AI-generated art since late 2022. He considers AI-generated text, music, and images to be simply more tools to add to an artist's toolbox. Chip is one of the many artists whose work can be seen at the SUSI-Q gallery in Laguna Beach.

    In his own words...
    I was born in Montgomery, Alabama in 1968. I co-op'ed through college in Huntsville, where all the high-tech companies were. When I graduated, I hired on with Boeing to work on the International Space Station, particularly the Hatch Team. Later, Boeing Phantom Works sent me around the country wherever we needed to get a product out the door. I met my Hunny at Disneyland on Gay Days 19 years ago. Next, I worked on the launch pads for the Delta 4 and Atlas 5 rockets at Cape Canaveral as a Facility Safety engineer. One neighbor had a Nazi flag in their window visible to our house and called various news reporters and government agencies to our home to check on various accusations. Eventually, we moved to Southern California, where people are much more tolerant. Out here, I worked with a company that makes new rocket engines until I retired early last year. Now I have a property in Riverside with a small lake, two beehives, and 63 pet ducks.
