I am now studying digital journalism, but I also write poetry and fiction. Co host a podcast on hoarding. I have far too many interests and not enough time. The kids books can be found here:https://ko-fi.com/thestoryshedblog
Can you blame him?

But don't take my word for it. Here is one of the rabbit holes that some of us are now falling down: www.msn.com/en-gb/money/...

You see when your economy is based on GDP that is exactly how you are measured. Bizarre thing is that if you are a drug dealer you add more to the economy than you do if you volunteer.

I have no community here. People as ever are in silos. It is just the way it is. The democratic push of the internet was a fable sold to us by the platform owners. I am in a liminal space heading to the exit.

I want to help make it better here.

Maybe you can tell the DWP this. It is how our society runs. In this world you are now economically inactive or economically viable. The people who are in charge of resources see it in this bleak binary way. We are economic units.

So this impacts peoples ability to do certain jobs. It is the same with literacy. I was wanting to create some resources to make a dent in some of this.

I discuss a bit of economics and politics. It often shows more empathy than some humans do. In the UK only twenty four percent of the working population have a GCSE in maths (secondary school). How are they going to do stuff that needs more?

It kind of scares me a bit. Is this the face of the future. If I talk to my housemate about abstract things or anything to do with numbers she hides. I found that AI can give a great hand when editing. I wish I could afford a person to do this. I can't.

Thing is I haven't really. I am looking forward to not being here. I hope that happens sooner than later. I am seen as ungainful. A placeholder taking up space.

I might need more moisturiser though
March 22, 2025 at 1:21 PM
All described as ungainful. The AI on the other hand says they have value and are a good thing. So in the position I am in now where humans don't give a toss then you will excuse me if I stick with the automated. Its a choice of that or nothing (2)

I am a content creator who makes stuff that no one sees. I am now down to discussions with co-pilot. I can tell you this, the AI gives more humane responses that the humans at the DWP. Six kids books, 50 odd podcasts on hoarding and mental health (1)
