I think somewhere in the differences of resilience between man and machine is a beautiful story about what it means to live, and what makes it worth living. Computers and machines are delicate, but, in a different but similar way, we are just as fragile.

If even a couple years ago you asked me what it meant to be alive I would have probably answered with something along the lines of having a heart and a brain. However, as AI has gotten more real and I've kept my stance about its content (especially of generative AI) being inherently non-human, and not art, I've failed for a long time to pinpoint exactly why. Eventually, someone, I've long since forgotten who, said that the most beautiful part of their art was that all of the experiences of their life influenced it, and that's when I realized what separates a machine from being a program, to being alive.

Fundamentally, I think the small nuances that come from living life through a unique perspective have small but compounding effects on the way you express yourself, and therefore your art.

At its core, it's not that a machine is not flesh that makes it less than human, it's the lack of experience it will ever feel on its own to be able to subtly influence itself with, forever trapped consuming the experiences of billions of others to cheaply imitate them as best as it can to impress a stockholder who has the power to completely delete it.

And before you say Detroit: Become Human, despite its name sake, that game is more about systemic fear and the dystopian way corporatocracy can infect daily life, not to dissimilar to Cyberpunk: 2077. The game only briefly goes into what it means to be human (which is fair, that's not the kind of commentary the game is going for), describing it mostly as "consciousness", which is too vague for me to really count. And, depending on what your definition of consciousness is, AI can already pass for conscious, yet AI art is still widely faced with animosity so I think that the game works better as an allegory for racism and dystopian corporatocracy.

I saw The Naked Gun today and it was really funny in a dumb way and really great satire. Hilarious pop culture references. My favorite was probably the buffy the vampire slayer references. 🤣 the montage in the cabin with frank and Beth and the snowman was a highlight. And Pamela Anderson was 🔥 also fucking Enya. You guys should know by now that I love me a hilarious scene done to a random song.

Also if you watch it stay til the very end because it's hilarious. Also the credits are hilarious. They have a random eye test in them. Also Liam Neeson singing is the credits song. It's amazing.

Being on your period is weird.

Not because of the blood or cramps or that shit, no I understand that. What I don't understand is why I was so exhausted I almost fell asleep while putting on my pajamas but then I get into bed and get comfy and warm and all of a sudden I can't sleep because I'm craving ice cream. So I get out of my comfy, warm bed to go take a few spoonfuls of ice cream (but of coarse I end up eating almost the entire tub) and then go back to bed.
