It's now Wednesday. This entry was written on Monday, when it was due to post.

But the post was entirely just me unloading in the worst way possible, which is something I've been trying to avoid. It's not going to change any minds. It's not going to change our situation. It's not going to do anything except drive my blood pressure even higher than it already is. And so... I've edited out all of that and left the bit that's still an official unloading, but not to the extent it was.

So here we go...

Today I woke up and the first thing I saw was more bullshit science denial on the Artemis II mission. Something that immediately sends me into a rage. How the fuck did we get to a place where ignorance and idiocy is this prevalent? Everybody and their dog is spouting their favorite conspiracy theory which is easily disproved if they took two minutes to educate themselves, but no. Blatant dumbassery is where we're at.

But what's worse? AI slop bullshit is everywhere. Fake photos of fake situations reinforcing the idea that the mission itself is fake. And it's not just being shared by random people... I've seen it on astronomy social media!

Just look at this shit. None of this from NASA's site. Just AI slop photos with different prompts for the same fucking scene...

Some of them are noticeably worse than others. This one doesn't even look like a photo...

Though this is my favorite because it's so hilariously fake...

God I despise AI slop generative images. It's not doing anything to improve society and, indeed, is rushing things along to make things worse.

We are constantly under assault from those who wish to steal from us, harm us, or otherwise make our lives miserable. From telemarketers to spam emails, fuckers are everywhere.

And now there's AI. As with so many applications of this new technology, it's making our lives demonstratively worse. Then today I saw this...

Soon enough, AI will be too smart for tricks like this.

And then we're even more fucked than we are now.

It's the busy time of year for me! I start work at 4:30am, head into the office at 8:30am, then head back home at 3:30pm, grab something to eat, then work until I fall asleep.

The problem is that I am so exhausted when I go home to eat that every little thing feels like too much effort. Just look at the number of times I dreaded having to do something menial...

• Ugh! I have to walk across the street to get to my car.
• Ugh! I have to drive home now.
• Ugh! I have to turn on my turn signal.
• Ugh! I have to get up, grab all my stuff, and go inside.
• Ugh! I have to cook a burger to use up this bun that's expiring.
• Ugh! I have to open a new tub of butter because I used the last of it for breakfast.
• Ugh! I have to squeeze ketchup on my burger.
• Ugh! I have to clean up the kitchen.
• Ugh! I have to go back to the kitchen because I forgot to get some chips and something to drink.
• Ugh! I have to go back to the kitchen, rinse my plate, and put it in the dishwasher.
• Ugh! I have to finish the work I didn't get done at work.
• Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! I want to go to bed.

But anyway...

Eddy is back, and this time he's entering psychosis with CHATGPT...

How does this not scare the ever-loving shit out of people? He did this for fun, but you just know there are thousands upon thousands of people going through this for real.

I have turned off every AI option I can find on all my devices and have done what I can to eliminate AI with the services I use (including Google, where you can search with "-ai"). I do this not just because it's rarely helpful and a waste of time, but also because I don't want to contribute to AI farms stealing resources and destroying lives.

Maybe AI can destroy my life so I can stay in bed tomorrow.

After talking with a friend who had just watched Mickey 17, which stars Robert Pattinson, I remembered that he also starred in the Christopher Nolan's Tenet, a movie I like the more times I see it.

This time was no different. Such a brilliant film.

I've watched videos, read articles, and examined timeline charts in order to better understand the film. And here's another one which was very recently released (spoilers, of course)...

I love that the movie is so deep that videos and articles are still being written about it.

Next up from Nolan is his adaptation of The Odyssey, the trailer for which has apparently leaked online. I'm not going to try and watch anything until Universal officially releases it. Otherwise I know that I'm going to undoubtedly be clicking on a fucking shit-ton of AI-generated shit, because that's what YouTube is all about now-a-days.

Except...

Unlike Facebook, YouTube may actually be trying to curb the AI slop we're being inundated with. Thank God. I am so sick and fucking tired of this crap that it almost makes me want to abandon the internet so I don't have to see it.
