[#GLOsBlog🌍🎵] 早前說過，在新城電台關於Futures Studies的新節目，找朋友用AI創作了一首簡單的theme song，然後卻有其他有趣後續。

這位朋友是騰訊音樂總監，他傳了音樂給我後，本來就完事。但一位網友得知了消息，跟我說不如讓他填詞，而說來他是我十年前的舊學生，近年已業餘打入填詞界，師從趙增熹，那我說自然無任歡迎。他收到旋律，覺得不夠高低起伏，於是找了另一位作曲人改編，結果產生了以下一首歌曲《人類大命運》，啟發自哈拉瑞的同名名著。而他們二人同樣是通過網絡認識的，編曲那位正職是律師，真正的興趣卻是音樂，因為音樂不能糊口，才被逼從事法律專業。他們的分享，在上星期節目的soft launch可以重溫。

整個故事雖然簡單，卻充份反映了新時代如何通過資訊科技工作：二十年前，上述作曲人、填詞人、編曲人、還有我那位當騰訊音樂總監的朋友（其實他本來的正職也是一位大學教授），都不容易在真正的興趣──音樂──找到second identity，現在不但能保持first identity的收入和身份，同時也能在分身的世界尋回自己的興趣，假以時日，反客為主、依靠second identity發展的網絡經濟變成自身的主要產業，絕不是夢。世代正在顛覆，又一明證。

*雲端不斷變 各樣形狀
雲端之下 各自凝望
誰知風近了 配合潮浪
就下雨離不開 怎麼到達對岸
宏觀俯視到 我在人浪
隨風擺盪 棄掉原狀
微觀感受到 我尚期望
現實每場演化 都可到達對岸*
行前兩步 突然又退步
連場革命 事情沒有好
條條馬路 盡頭是惡耗
但尚要上路 默默創造
神曾放任 讓人類脫穎
人雄踞後 地球亦震驚
隨時躁動 又隨便較勁
沒辦法接受安定
