In Which I do an Impromptu set of thoughts on a video I did watch on the topic of AI

Good evening! I was not planning on writing a post per se, I already did one recently, I usually take a few days to cool off, but given the material I will mention later, I had improvised thoughts I wanted to share! I ask first how are you. And I ask how is the weather. Here, it is lovely cool, with the cooler wind, and the kind rain. It is a nice position to write a post in. So, let us jump to my thoughts, this should likely be a bigger one. We'll see! As follows:



Yesterday I watch a video of someone I appreciate, and it turned towards the topic of Artificial Intelligence. I have mentioned before I am not entirely sold on it, due to the costs versus what it offers, though I am overall a casual to above average in frequency user of such technology. I am bored to tears to those that tend to praise it in glowing light, and you don't have to go towards the utopias to find people saying the technology is amazing, it is miraculous, it does amazing work, and say that in a timber of voice I find exagerated. I am more sober than that. I do find it disruptive in a good way, I find the image generation tool, at its best, infuriates all the right people, people that I find abhorrent and pretentious, you know, the postmoderns, the marxists, the ones that treat Art as the second coming of our Lord, and as such judge its work to be souless. I could not care less for those obnoxious folk. It misses the point of such technology, it was never about "soul curing art", specially because art is a craft, it is not a vessel for messianic messaging. It is made to please the eyes, offer catharsis to the senses. Mrs. Rand, in her book about Romanticism, which is the branch she champions, and I adore her arguments and her descriptions, though also think she puts it in a pedestal too high at times. So, AI infuriates the pretentious jerks, it disrupts in a positive way. That said, I will not come and announce "a new age of creativity is coming, renaissance is at hand". Why do people jump to extrenes in such fashion, quite frustrating. 

Making my position clear, on that end, and going on a tangent while at it, I should mention now the video and the person's talking points: I don't exactly like the position of the guy at the video, when he mentions his environmentalist concerns, that for me is a deal breaker. I have PTSD with the environmentalists and their arrogance disguised as moral imperative. I also don't like his comments on how social media fragmented society and made people's lives worse off. I... have an ambiguous relationship with social media. I do not think building up your own niche is a bad thing, and perhaps the telecomunication of 20th century build what was the caveat and not the other way, which is, it developed a monoculture. That thing of we all hear the same people and music and things, and they were giants. Quite an immense topic on itself, I don't like the idyllic moral he points towards instead. Of all topics, it has been reached one level of nuance and caveat-filled field that I find flattening it to a net negative to be a loss.

I don't like his nod towards environmentalism, I do not like his strong stand against social media. And I always been against the position of "resetting and going to a cabin in the forest". Truth is that much of what we face is fault of marxism, and misunderstandings about "democracy" that were not brought coincidentally, but maliciously cultivated by these marxists. They are remarkable at Hunnic tactics of wasteland conquest. They spread cynicism and turn society of individuals against itself. Hardly any system or institution is free from their evil aims, and evil they are. I think the sooner that person understands this, the lesser he will swim on a shallow pond in direction to nowhere, with the exception of the jacobin right, that is a cheapened lowtier denomination born in opposition to the left, but taken their morality into account.

I have been falling into tangents here, maybe prolonging myself more than I was meaning to do so, that was not exactly ny aim, but I also had such thoughts after seeing the media content, I wanted to bring them out or my head. If I ask any LLM to summarize this post for me, it will likely tell me it is best to tone down the denounciation, too, as to reach a bigger "audience". If I can help it, I just rather not, though. I know how evil modernism (and postmodernism) can be, I live in the fallout of those ideas that I chose not to be affected by. In my personal space, I do beg your forgiveness, I will yell a spade is a spade, evil is evil, and marxism deforms the brain such as acid corrodes objects, consuming them until nothing is spared. If I can help it, let me have just this moment. And I appreciate to heavens anyone that allows me to do so, dwell on my frustrations, and understand my points without me having to defend them. If you are one of those, I am a friend and only latet I should ask questions.

This is likely it for today's post, an impromptu one, but not a topic exhausted by this or the other texts I have written. Probably will be brought forth again. In any case, thank you for being a friend, I wish you the best and I send you a hug. Thank you, and do not worry, as I shall return soon, I pray hope before July, so I can offer more thoughts, and ideas, I will see you then, farewell just for now.
