  1. I've been to Italy. I loved everything about it, except for the Africans in Florence.

  2. Summer is the best season. I have many life long fond, initimate attachments to summer.
    Imagine my deepening consternations when I experienced a 15 year drought of no summers.
    No, not jail, but a prison nonetheless.
    One pines for the right mate. That longing may become too great that one imagines the wrong to be right.

  3. For transparency, this is AI-generated content

    1. Thanks for pointing that out.

      Is it possible to determine if it is just the video, video + audio or video + audio + lyrics?

    2. The AI generated female images are based on early 60's photos of Luigia "Gina" Lollobrigida, who acted and did a lot of photography, but never sang in public.

    3. Unfortunately I don't know of a way to determine it with certainty.

      Luckily, Youtube points out that this has generated content in the description (doesn't specify to what extent) - and the channel's description alludes to using generated content, but again without specificity.

      The video footage, to me, is clearly AI-generated, but this will be harder to detect with the human eye as time goes on.

      I was unable to find any reference to this particular song with some surface-level research. So my assessment is that this is a case of all three (video + audio + lyrics) being generated.

  4. Either way (AI vid or not), Joe you reminded me of Monica with this post. An Italian beauty I knew in my 20s, now three decades long since passed.

    Two ships passing in the night.

    But the summer heat was simple and beautiful for a brief moment in time.

    Oh how memories of olive skin and her accent haunt me in a way to this day…
