Not trying to live the dream, trying to live my dream

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

There is a thought, a notion, about life, money and this insane world we live in that sparkles in my mind only to be extinguished by distraction.

I fear this is by design.

We have a weird tradition of watching old Christmas movies in a small one-screen theater near us.
This year was White Christmas

If you want another perspective, follow

I tossed off a post yesterday where I used Bitcoin as slang for crypto, so I deleted and will now be more specific:

Crypto is for crime *and* speculation, and the biggest use of generative AI is porn, and the fact the current government and economy is all in on this strikes me as problematic.

1st was to replace human face to face interaction with social media (began nearly 20 years ago, pandemic sealed the deal).
Second step is to hijack basic conscientiousness and care for another human with AI (not to mention the attack on creativity overall)
What’s step 3?
The collapse is surreal.
The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious
Every ad for AI is like

Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!!

AI: get sock

Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

Those in power have always pitted groups against each other to maintain dominance. We must remember our humanity, because the trajectory we’re on all but guarantees that will be continually questioned to keep us divided and distracted.

Looking for beta readers for Forty-Nine, my near-future sci-fi novel about a couple caught in the rise of an AI surveillance system over 49 days. Character-focused, tense, and grounded. DM if you’re interested!

The symbol is new.
The instinct behind it isn’t.

Mankind always needs an enemy…
and in Forty-Nine, the one we’ve been conditioned for is revealed…

Book cover design is in the works. The front is complete. It’s a surreal sight, having a book cover…

I think back to the nerdy kid in 5th grade who wrote stories and was brave enough to read them in front of his class…

The AI says it’s protecting us.
The government says the sky is falling.
The truth says otherwise.

Forty-Nine — coming soon.

Had three days with limited internet access.
Most restful, most peaceful three days I’ve had in a long time.

We need to talk about how we’re going to unplug more, as a society

Before they became the hand-me-down lamp, they were an object of desire for 80s era kids. Only the cool people in my neighborhood had these.
The Millennial beacon.

For real, we all had this damn thing in our dorm rooms and first apartments.
