So, by this time next year we (or someone on this spinning rock) should have Samantha (Her) / Joi (Bladerunner 2049) style personal AI assistants / interpreters / GPs. Or is this just my wishful thinking again?
Oh, and the Stock Photography industry is now officially dead…well, more dead than before…
Glad to write in my journal again!
Today was an interesting and rough-ish day, because it felt longer than it mostly does.
I had to get some things done and I am happy that I did it, yet I now have to play the waiting game.
That’s all.
It’s 8:18 AM in the morning and I have nothing to eat for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner.
I’m hungry and the only thing I have are liquids and food that requires something to go with it.
To hell with this, I am going back to sleep. Nothing to eat and I rather not be hangry and wake.
I hope my mother is coming home around the afternoon.
Geez!
I’m not exactly sad but I think that AI wouldn’t be able to render such beautifully strange images as well as humans can. Mostly because the human imagination is limitlessly bizarre.
I saw an ad of one of these before and I thought it was really weird
That’s probably in the realm of AGI or ASI, so wait five years.
I found this image (made with MJ v6) on r/midjourney.
Here’s a summary of the 2023’s AI developments…
…Next few years are going to be quite a ride.
But for what purpose? Why are we training AI to do what people are ideally suited to do? Why aren’t we training it to do things humans don’t like to do–all the unpleasant jobs instead of the most personally fulfilling jobs? AI is being trained to do all the wrong things. Instead of teaching it to write and paint and draw and think, we should be training it to market and promote, to make human creators more successful, not replace them. ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯
O fortuna! @JellyGhost
Who knows how real some of these are, but some of them are quite real. But don’t believe the thumbnail. They can’t jump THAT high, at least, that’s not in the video.
Watching this made me want to write a story about someone with absurd powers who lives a fairly normal life and hides their powers. They don’t even like their powers. I don’t want it to be some kind of Superman retelling or any retelling of hidden superpowers. They don’t become famous at all. Maybe they even go insane. Maybe the story isn’t even in their POV, but the people they (reluctantly) end up helping.
Amazon, Walmart, Microsoft, Facebook (Meta) and several others are doing that. Interest in AI development and deployment is almost global, and spanning several industries / disciplines.
My library has the worst timing. I’ve had Britney’s memoir and Julia Fox’s memoir on hold for weeks. And now they’ve both come in at the same time 
why do you do this to me
D’aww! 
I want them to bury me under there and let me stroke them as I hide from my 121,000 unread emails 
Holy…WHY SO MANY UNREAD EMAILS, BRO?!
Years of apathy and spam
Whew! That’s a lot of emails to delete!
Good lord!
How are you going to tackle all of them?!
Delete all?
Better delete them all at the same time rather than one by one.
It would be better that way.
I had a busy day and I still feel a bit pooped, yet I need to get in on some writing.
