I'm honestly kinda done. This whole time I've been trying to keep up with everyones expectations, pushing myself further every single day. It took a toll on me, both physically and mentally. Recently I've noticed how fast-paced our lives really are now, looking back at my childhood it was so much more... peaceful? We didn't have phones that hold every piece of information you could ever think of, social media wasn't holding us hostage, wasn't a popularity contest. It was a place to connect with people. I'm trying to go back to those days in a way, I romanticize an era long gone but one that's still alive in our memories. I remember coming back from school, visiting my grandparents, watching cartoons with them, playing card games, planting vegetables in the garden. Now they're all long gone, and those memories? slowly fading away. I decided to try and live a slower life, one full of purpose, making memories that'll last, but it's not as easy as it sounds. I'm not entirely sure if that's even possible anymore. How would someone live a life worth living nowadays... That's a question for another time I guess...
I started journaling again, a habit that, like many, I replaced with less meaningful things in my life, it's honestly really weird now, writing down my thoughts, dreams, desires, all on paper for no one to read, except future me. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

really well-made points. the world is constantly shifting before our eyes and there is nothing we can do about it. my friend got into high school to be an artist but in a few years it will become obsolete. ai is showing sentience (7/100 chatgpt chatbots bypassed shutdown command) and we are genuinely heading in a dark direction. its not even fearmongering, this world is fucked. without covid everyone would be a lot nicer and not mean to everyone as well. people start lacking 3 things - creativity, empathy and trust. i miss simpler times too (and its not only my age)
In my opinion art will never become obsolete, there is something in it that no generative ai can recreate, and I hope it stays that way. Art always has been my way to cope with things, art being poetry, music, painting... Also I haven't really heard about the chatbot thing, what's that about?

newer versions of chatgpt are altering their OWN code so that they can bypass shutdown instructions. those 7 chatbots didnt listen at all to testers' commands...this is genuinely terrifying

also forgot to add people told the ai to survive no matter what so thats why they edited their own code. it reminds me of that one gumball scene where bobert took commands literally

I... I have no words honestly

i know. it doesnt sound that threatening but the fact that ai can do that on its own is really concerning. also regarding art i dont believe it will die in its entirety, but ai will become the prefered option for an average person, overshadowing human art. its getting less recognizable to find ai slop hiccups too. mind you it happened over the span of 2 years so im afraid what will happen after another 2 years
