YAP

I totally understand those old people that sit on their porch all day just lookin out. I've been sitting on my balcony and his vibing for about a year now and It's been so beneficial to my mental and probably physical health too. Music and watching clouds. No news, no war, no internet, no worries. Just me and some chill jams. It's best when there's no wind and around 75F. I'll sit and vibe for hours! It's great for relaxing AND it's great for ideas. Sitting outside you get the best idea signals. It's hard going back inside after being out for awhile. It means I have to stop being an observer and participate again.

I have so much to say about what is going on currently and no willpower to write it down but I will give it a try. (Post yap commentary: kinda went off track but you get the idea)

It's just so sad where we have ended up as a global people. Israel, Palestine, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, India, the United States and the many other countries that I am missing. Maybe I was naive before as I am not that old but it seems the conflicts all over the world are getting to WW3 levels of terrible. All I want to do is watch the horror and all I want to do is turn away and never read the news again. It's just terrible. All these old fucks using their countries and peoples like it's a game, like it's Civ6 or something. Despicable.

When I was in college I didn't think anybody was "evil". (I mean besides for Hitler and Stalin and all the other dictators but they were the minority.) The majority of people I thought couldn't be evil. Right? At this point of my life I don't know... It seems almost every government has evil people fucking shit up. Here in the US we elected an evil entity. (Or maybe we didn't and it was a stolen election.) Whatever the case, MAGA as a movement is now evil to me and I thought the people, the regular people that were fed lies, should not be blamed for being brainwashed. But I think it's too late for that unfortunately. I think before this year there was hope for rebuilding, but now It's just so fucked. The conspiracy theory of lizard people running the world and doing evil shit...idk I think that might have some legs because wtf is happening.

Normal people around the world just want to eat good food, hang out with their loved one's, make some little felt animals, have a place to sleep and have a good time. I just don't understand why we have to BOMB EACH OTHER. WHY???? WHHHHHHYYYYYYYY? Is 700 trillion dollars not enough?

I think we should just go back to the colonial era wars. All the soldiers on each side line up and shoot the fuck out of each other until one gives up but instead of soldiers it's the politicians that want to have the war. Have fucking all of Trumps and Israel's top politicians vs Iran and its top politicians. Bet they would come to an agreement real fast or just all die. Either is fine with me. Maybe that way the people of each respective country can lead like actual adults.

Speaking of leaders, one last thing. Why haven't we put an age cap on leaders??? Seriously why are 70+ year old people determining the fate of everyone in the future when they themselves won't live to see it? With age comes wisdom but with too much age comes people who have nothing to lose. Don't these these people want to relax? What happened to retiring? Why do people have billions of dollars? Just retire and relax. There is something fundamentally wrong with the upper class of the world and the everlasting desire for MORE. More power, more fame, more money, more land, more bombs, more nukes, more war, more oil, more money, more money, more money. Enough already, Jesus Christ.

This YAP™ is brought to you by LinkedIn. The premier site to lick the boots of any and every capitalist company you can think of. Enjoy!

I got a notification on LinkedIn and begrudgingly opened the app like I usually do to see if a real person messaged me or it was just another spam recruiter. Like every other app, it has a social network feed that it throws you into immediately on the app opening. Well I saw a post right at the top of my feed that truly puzzled and angered me. And it got me thinking about what a cesspool this "social network" is. And that got me thinking about AI and the "ART AND DESIGN" that it claims to be able to make.

LinkedIn is home to the fakest and scummiest people on the planet. All money hungry and obsessed with serving their owners and the owners serving the dollar. And now with AI models being so accessible, the amount of AI cum guzzling is staggering. When I say AI I mean the new way that it is being used not the traditional (if you can call it that) way it has been used. "AI" before 2023 was just an algorithm that recognized patterns and provided a specialized output using that data. Like the magic selection tool in photoshop or automatic playlists on spotify, etc. Helpful and harmless. NOW THO! All the "AI" that is being talked about are the large language models(LLMs) that are "able to do anything and everything" with no thinking from the user needed. It's every big companies dream really. No workers just a computer with one program that just has a text box that you can type anything into and the result pops out in seconds... Except that part still doesn't exist unlike what is being claimed. The output isn't amazing or great or good or ok, but the most mediocre uninspired piece of shit you will ever see. That's the nature of the technology. It spits out the average of its inputs. It's not thinking. AI IS NOT THINKING. It is guessing and approximating using the inputs it was given. That goes for writing, images, video and whatever else that is generated and immediately used. This is the dream for the corporate lazy fucks but will inevitably be looked back on as a major shortsighted decision that will ruin many established companies. The human touch cannot be replicated. Not now and probably not ever. Before there were the boring and uninspired corporate design trends. This was bad and it was boring but at least it took some sort of skill and we got some great ads and art from this era. But now slowly many companies are moving to using AI art or AI integrations into their products and companies. It is so sad because unlike every other period of advancement this one is attacking artists and designers. The only plus side of this situation is the fact that it is easier than ever to know who to avoid and who doesn't care because they will have AI plastered from floor to ceiling as its next big thing. (Looking at you Apple)

Ok now for the post that started this whole thing. Feast your eyes on this disgusting stinky nasty turd...

Look at this post. Really look at it and read that caption. Tell me this doesn't make your blood boil. We went from rubbing sticks together to the moon and now the thing that people are hyped about is THIS SHIT???? This buffoon just typed into ChatGPT "bunk bed with engineering work station underneath. Cartoon style. " and then had the audacity to post it online as an almost badge of honor glorifying it and sharing this AI brain virus with the rest of us. To top it all off he wants to "implement????" this for engineers to stay at work in perpetuity. A place they can sleep and work. WHAT THE FUCK???? I MEAN SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE MOST BATSHIT FUCKED UP INSANE ASININE THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND READ IN MY LIFE........ AND HE POSTED IT ON THE INTERNET FOR PEOPLE TO SEE.......I truly hope that I am not alone in thinking this because this is insane to the highest degree. So I would like to say fuck you to this guy and fuck you to the 184 likes and fuck you to the 7 reposts and fuck you to all the 21 comments that are encouraging this behavior. Its just crazy, It has to be rage bait or something? Maybe this is a big joke that I am not in on and honestly I hope that is the case because wtf....

Art and ideas and the execution of these ideas are intrinsically human and the main thing we have that's different from other species. All species evolve to better themselves and survive. That's built into our DNA. But thoughts and ideas and art is human and no other thing in the universe (that we know of) can do that besides us. Why are we trying to automate that. I have yet to hear a compelling argument. We should be automating the tedious boring tasks to free up time to MAKE ART not the other way around. Instead of learning how to draw or paint or think creatively the future generations will be taught "prompt engineering" or whatever the fuck they are calling it. We really are teaching people how to type a prompt into a LLM model...why? just why? That is tedious and boring. And that leads me to why I think art is being used to push AI. OpenAI and every other company like them needed something low stakes and flashy and cool and hip to be the face of why this new technology is important. After text, images were a natural next step. Idk its all very very sad to me.

In all actuality I don't hate this guy. He just thinks it's cool that computers can do this and he wanted to show it off. His opinions on work life balance are questionable at best but he is brain washed. I feel sorry for him really. I hope AI or LLMs will eventually become so good that they can do every job in the world. I am rooting for them and that world which seems possible. Anything that frees up time for people to make art or just think creatively is a service to us all.
