Dr Artyom Trakhanov - SHARP EYE IS LIVE ON KICKSTARTER NOW @vor-bokor.bsky.social · 5d

“I Hate My Life, I Hate My Friends, I Hate Myself”. This is the sales pitch for 99% of AI, and it all comes from the people who genuinely hate and despise this reality where no one thinks they’re “cool” for being on computer all day, so now the computer must show everyone how they can do a kickflip

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

recently have reframed my publishing efforts as "roleplaying like i know what im doing" and now im both 1) having fun instead of being really stressed, and 2) making print runs of 5 books for a zinefest. i dont know what im doing! but im having fun pretending i do!

using a search engine that lets me filter and choose operators and sort any way i like is a euphoric experience in 2025

now, i have to say that iraq-war era british politics aren't my forté, but i have to say that i do not like this tony blair fellow, and i do not exactly trust britain's track record when it comes to the governing and distribution of land when it comes to the statehood of palestine.
