Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida): Concert on Cuttyhunk ... and growing a MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch abolition movement here too



Dear  Ma-Janie, Cuttyhunk Yacht Club friends too (re upcoming CYC party on Saturday 8/16/25), MA US Senator and former Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, All,

Greetings and I hope this email finds you well. How further is the US federal investigation into Cuttyhunk and, even deeply sadly, international organized crime here developing? ..
 And with my having sought US federal protection for my mother, my brother Sandy, his new baby Isla, and myself many months ago + ...

One reason I couldn't make the Palaver Strings' concert at The Avalon Inn was due to the possibility of someone involved in international organized crime there identifying me and potentially seeking to knock me off ... as I and MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people, potentially most of all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University. ... to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft etc industries internationally and their latent networks of violence with US federal and states of MA, ME, CA, PA + working together effectively in new ways.


And how could Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency help here, distributed for most of all 7.9 billion people in all 200 countries, on the planet, to end poverty and to facilitate free universal education, since Pi crypto might not be construed as money re much law regarding the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex and related industries internationally -  minepi.com/sgkmac + ... but not like cash, Pi requires everyone who gets it daily to go through KYC or KYB processes (so it's not as anonymous as paper cash) ... and as further US federal and other countries' law develops for cryptocurrencies like Pi ...

Hi David (and AI readers, Peter Norvig, Google AI director, all), 


Hi David (Thurston, and AI readers, Peter Norvig, Google AI director, all), 

How are you? Greetings from Cuttyhunk as I and MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch   continue to grow a worldwide abolition movement and to seek to knock back international organized crime ... and on Cuttyhunk, and grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people ... and to stay alive. Again, was your cousin lisa Thurston stalking me in the trader joe's in San Rafael this past April 2025 and as a possible criminal prostitute even in cahoots with that grocery store chain (re Pgh and the closing of my chase credit card on 2/28/24 + potentially in cahoots with Chase bank Wilkinsburg Pgh with operations in ~100 out of 200 countries and their involvement in intl organized crime even with US uniformed armed services)  AND murderous thugs, AND even the uniformed armed services of the US army re that 'Beat Army' T-shirt someone was wearing on Cuttyhunk's Church's beach the other day, after which I spoke with lisa thurston on Church's ... and having sought US protection for my mother, brother Sandy, Isla and myself months ago ? 

When I went into the Cuttyhunk public library 2 days ago, lisa was there in front of the library desk behind which were sitting her sister ally (also in intl organized crime on cuttyhunk ???) and Gail Blout (a former or current Selectman for the town of Gosnold/Cuttyhunk). Yale alum Doug and Zoe Billman walked in ... and are Doug and Zoe Billman involved in any ways possibly in ivy league intl organized crime on Cuttyhunk re yale University and with MIT too re cuttyhunk and re karl koster and lindley huey (and even the tragedies of MIT's fundraiser epstein and MIT OCW physics' instructor lewin, whose courses are banned from MIT OCW,  and both involved perennially in the wrongful buying and selling of people, in the illegal sex and violence industries internationally), and alan symonds, and judith archer too+   ... and re my father (formerly on the Yale faculty) GKM MD's 1st head injury on univ pitt managed semester at sea in Belize on 12/30/04 leading to his death 2 3/4 years later ...
 ... lisa left, doug and zoe and ally and gail and I talked about aging reversal genetic drug therapies' books and resources ... and a realistic virtual earth for history and aging reversal ... and see the email I sent to Doug, Zoe, Gail & George Church but not your cousin ally thurston in the PS ... Doug and Ally talked about meeting for cocktails at 530, not sure whether this was morning or evening (regarding reference even to my family's meeting with the Wards for beach picnics and singing too at 530 am in the 1970 especially) ...

ally thurston then started taking some pictures of me near the library Entrance way (some with Doug in them) near some historic photos on the wall of the Point ... And could these pics be used even by international organized crime in ally and lisa thurston's networks out west in Ca -
with trader joes there and across the country - with the uniformed armed services with harbin hot springs too ... to perpetuate the wrongful buying and selling of people - modern slaves tragically??? - in the illegal sex drugs violence etc industries intl and their latent networks of violence ??

Got an invitation to the cyc Cuttyhunk Yacht Club  picnic on Saturday and my mother comes tomorrow Friday with Trish  ... And how to protect my mother from lisa Thurston (and ally too) re her comment on Church's beach about my mother the other day ... And my mother likes Doug Billman but could he possibly be seeking to turn the MacLeod Cuttyhunk house into a brothel and for fundraising reasons too (AND not re Cuttyhunk as a possible "Operation lobster pot" ie as a possible US federal operation to catch criminals coming to Cuttyhunk ...) ... And as I seek to stay alive (with a number of death threats, a murderous run through attempt of me while in Pgh from 2.5 years in asylum in 2 separate houses ... and the murder word spoken to me in Chase bank Shadyside Pgh by vp Shauna McNally there for example) ... And could the Cuttyhunk Yacht Club  be a source of kids tragically in the illegal sex industry tragically re alan 'it's a club' symond's  and the chilling judith "we want your babies' archer comments at the Cuttyhunk historical society meeting snout 5 years ago ... WUaS Abolition movement is growing and as I seek to stay alive and move into a newly safe vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 in about 10 -14 days ...

Thoughts, questions, suggestions? ... as I seek to stay alive until 150 years of age and beyond ... And re lisa thurston's seeking to have been stalking me in a San Rafael (just north of SF) trader joe's in April I think,  ... and regarding distributed information technologies and abolishing or knocking back intl organized crime too & re your comment on the phone in autumn 2024 "I have cousins ..."

Dear Gail (Blout), Doug (Billman), George (Church), Janie (MacLeod), all, 

Greetings from Cuttyhunk! And I hope this email finds you well. Thanks for the information about the Cuttyhunk history books, and "The Wind in the Willows" ' book, as well as the wifi password.

Nice to see you today in the Cuttyhunk public library, and fascinating to hear Doug (Billman) you say "I'm going for 125 years of age" when i asked you whether we're going to live to 150 years of age, and when we were talking about aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies, and earlier about Harvard and MIT professor of Genetics' George Church's work (and re his Youtube videos especially over the last 10 years as resources in these regards, and see PS for a recent fascinating video interview with Dwarkesh Patel from June 2025). And interesting to talk also in passing about a Realistic Virtual Earth for History, - re brainstorming about adding the photos on the library's walls to something like Google Street View with time slider ... and even as a backup for libraries for example. I think such a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory would also be integrated with a Realistic Virtual Earth for Extreme Longevity in one iterating #RealisticVirtualEarth and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article mentioning a Realistic Virtual Earth - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - for the first time other than by MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch. Interesting to learn too Doug 1 or 2 summers ago in front of the Cuttyhunk Yacht Club house with Zoe that you went to Prep School at Andover with George (Church).

Best regards, Abolition, So give 3 cheers for Cuttyhunk, Friendly Quaker greetings (re Peleg Slocum too & especially), thanks, 
Scott

In some of these regards, perhaps humanoid robots for all of this will come to Cuttyhunk sooner than we think - 

PSa
When will we get Toyota humanoid robots as professional musicians?

While predicting an exact date is difficult, we can analyze the progress of Toyota's humanoid robots in music to estimate when they might achieve professional musicianship.
Toyota's musically-inclined robots
  • Toyota's Partner Robots debuted in 2005, playing drums and trumpets at the World Expo.
  • One of these robots, Partner is capable of playing the violin and trumpet.
  • In 2007, Toyota unveiled a violin-playing robot and stated robotics would be a core business, aiming to put "partner robots" to real use by 2010.
  • The music performances by the Toyota robots served as a way to test and display the bots' complexity, according to Phys.org. 
Challenges and outlook
  • While robots like Toyota's have shown musical ability, reaching the level of professional musicianship requires addressing significant challenges:
    • Synchronization: Achieving perfect synchronization, especially in complex and expressive music, remains a technical hurdle.
    • Emotional Nuance: Robots struggle to replicate the emotional depth and subtleties human musicians bring to their performances.
    • Sophisticated Algorithms: Developing more advanced algorithms is crucial for generating nuanced and complex musical compositions.
    • Human Integration: Robots need to be seamlessly integrated into human musical contexts like concerts and rehearsals. 
Predictions on the future of robotic musicianship
  • A survey of machine learning researchers predicted that robots might be able to create top-quality music by 2036.
  • Some foresee AI robots potentially creating the music, while humans might still be preferred for performance due to the emotional and creative aspects of music.
  • Others have suggested that cybernetic artists, including musicians, may no longer need to be associated with humans or human organizations by 2029
In conclusion, while Toyota has been developing humanoid robots with musical capabilities for some time, and there is ongoing research in this area, achieving professional musicianship comparable to humans will likely take more time. There are technical and artistic challenges to overcome before we see Toyota humanoid robots regularly performing as professional musicians. However, given the rapid advancements in robotics and AI, especially in areas like learning and dexterity, the development of increasingly capable robot musicians is a distinct possibility within the next decade or two.

When will we get Toyota humanoid robots for home care? Searched - W 8/13/25 ...


While it's difficult to predict an exact date, here's what we know about the availability of Toyota's humanoid robots for home care, according to search results:
  • Ongoing Research and Trials: Toyota, through its Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and other initiatives, is actively developing and testing humanoid robots for home assistance, particularly focused on aiding the elderly and individuals with disabilities. Their Human Support Robot (HSR) has undergone trials in homes in Japan, North America, and the UK, demonstrating capabilities like opening doors, fetching objects, and providing companionship.
  • Focus on Amplifying Human Ability: Toyota's philosophy is to "amplify, rather than replace" human capabilities, meaning their robots are designed to assist and empower people to live more independent lives, rather than completely take over tasks.
  • Challenges and Progress: Bringing robots into the home environment presents challenges, such as making them adaptable to diverse and unstructured settings. However, Toyota is working on innovative solutions, including teaching robots tasks through human observation and leveraging data from autonomous systems to improve efficiency.
  • Long-Term Vision: The goal is to make general-purpose robots a reality that can assist with household chores, cooking, and provide support for aging populations. Experts believe it could take some time, perhaps into the 2030s, before such robots become more widely available and affordable for most households. 
In conclusion, while Toyota is actively developing humanoid robots for home care, they are still in the research and trial phases. It will likely be some time before these robots are widely available for general purchase and use in homes. However, the progress being made suggests a future where robots play a significant role in enhancing the lives of people in their homes

When will we even get Toyota humanoid robots as sex surrogates? 

Toyota and the development of humanoid robots
Toyota is actively involved in the development of humanoid robots through its research efforts, particularly at the Toyota Research Institute (TRI). Their focus currently lies in areas like: 
  • Elderly care and household assistance: Developing robots like the Human Support Robot (HSR) and the gantry robot to assist with tasks such as picking up objects, performing chores, and providing support for aging populations.
  • Rehabilitation: Creating robots like the Welwalk WW-2000 to assist individuals with lower limb paralysis in walking rehabilitation.
  • Industrial applications and workforce support: Exploring how humanoid robots can work alongside humans in factory settings to enhance productivity and potentially take over hazardous or repetitive tasks.
  • Exploring new mobility services: Toyota sees robots like the T-HR3 as potential avatars for humans to remotely experience and interact with the world. 
Sex robots and predictions
While Toyota is actively involved in robotics, there's no indication that their current research and development are geared towards creating sex surrogates or sexbots. Their published research and statements emphasize areas like assistive technology, factory work, and exploring new mobility services. 
Predictions regarding the timeline for the widespread availability of sex robots, including those based on humanoid designs, vary considerably. Some sources suggest forms of robot-assisted intimacy could emerge in affluent households as early as 2025, and predict virtual reality sex becoming commonplace around 2030. However, achieving truly realistic and interactive human-like robots, especially with advanced artificial general intelligence (AGI), presents significant technological challenges, including: 
  • Developing realistic skin and musculature.
  • Creating AGI capable of natural and nuanced interaction. 
It's important to note that the discussion surrounding sex robots also involves serious ethical and societal considerations, including concerns about objectification, impact on human relationships, and safety. 
In conclusion, while the field of robotics is progressing, the development and widespread availability of Toyota humanoid robots for use as sex surrogates is not directly indicated by their current research focus and is likely a considerable time away, depending on the advancement of both robotics and AI, as well as the societal and ethical considerations surrounding such technology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_rigida


former native tree species on the Elizabeth islands Massachusetts Nashawena Penikese Cuttyhunk islands 


In their pre-settlement forested state, the Elizabeth Islands (including Penikese and Nashawena) were home to a variety of native tree species. While some species common on nearby islands are currently missing on Penikese, it's possible that, in the absence of further disturbance, it could return to a state forested with red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), as described in a presettlement account from 1602. 
Additional native tree species likely present in the historical forests of the Elizabeth Islands include:
  • Beech (Fagus grandifolia)
  • Oak (Quercus spp.)
  • Black Tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica)
  • Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida)
  • White Pine (Pinus strobus)
  • American Holly (Ilex opaca) 
It is important to note that many of these islands, particularly Penikese, have experienced significant changes in land use over time, including farming and grazing, which led to the loss of much of their original forest cover. Efforts are now being made to manage the vegetation on some islands, such as Penikese, to restore habitats for nesting birds.
