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 v...

In Which we have a Chaotic Thanksgiving post!!

This post was written yesterday, on thanksgiving! I started typing it right after midnight, but I could not finish it, and trying to go back to it, in the evening, bore no fruit. Hence, I am posting it today. 

I did have much much anxiety yesterday, that I could not recover from until this early morning, that was a major factor that destabilized me. In any case, I won't add anything to what I wrote yesterday. The post will remain finishing a bit abruptly. We will hopefully return to a more regular post soon! I may write to wrap up November and begin December...

Good morning, my good friend, reader of this post! Happy Thursday and happy Thanksgiving! Today, when our good american friends are having a day of bounty and rest, I would like of course to express my gratitude over the friends I have, how happy I am to have someone to chat with! It is a huge joy! And, how are you? How have you been? What are you grateful for? I do hold conviction there is always something to be thankful of... in any case, I am okay, Id say... neither too melancholic nor too gleeful. I did have a terrible moment just now, but it is okay, I eventually will surpass such extremely destabilizing situation. The weather has been heating up, at days reaching 32 celsius by lunch. Quite a sauna, I am not fond of this weather, I miss Winter. My sole consolation is the ongoing christmas 2024 season.

On the realm of games, today I would love to play some Sims 3, only haven't done so already because I also wanted to play Victoria 3 and Civ 5. Maybe, next time I return to the computer, I will do it. The hardest part of any game, I'd say, is really going further the play button and the menu. Specially with a sandbox one, where I am usually very much out lf ideas in what to do. At least the performance of the game is recovered, it took a nose dive when I decided to try some mods for the game. It was not a good trade off, hence I removed them. 

The past few months I reunited so many books on my files, I don't even want to get new ones anymore, I already have plenty to read. It has been a season with very slow reading progress, too, unfortunately. The book may have finally captured me, after a while of struggling with the material, but I am still with my distracted soul, and lacking the desire to push forward when I don't want to do it. 

So, today, in this tepid moment, where I did suffer but not that much, suffered due to being reminded of a past trauma, I really wanted to get over the situation even if briefly, to mark the occasion of thanksgiving, and to also come around and wish you a good day! I am unsure how to finish it, the post, given I started writing in one moment but left it to finish on another, quite distant from that one.
