Partially, I have yet to respond because, well... this.

#LinkedIn #Dystopia #AI
Chat GPT only gives you plans of action. What if I get you an AI (Swarm AI) that will turn your prompt into action. So if you say "Sell my book in 10 000 copies". And then your AI will immediately establish friendship with other strategically chosen AIs, some amazon people AIs, and some publishers AIs, and some pro book sales people AIs, and they become friends, and talk, and team work, and in some cases also their owners (the humans) will also join the team work. And then in a couple of hours the first pre launch book is sold, and then a few hours later the publishing is set up on Amazon, and then a few hours later, a massive amount of people come to Amazon to buy your book. And then two days after your prompt, your Swarm AI will prompt YOU and say "Mission completed, we sold 10 000 copies and the money is on your account". Would you like that? That is my idea, this is Swarm AI. You can also say "Make peace in Ukraine" and your AI will go out and create the teams to make that happen.

I remarked to them that their post may have been the most dystopian thing I had ever read on LinkedIn. They chose to respond to me with this insanity. I have yet to respond.

#LinkedIn #Dystopia #AI
David Davis Books will fade. Basically all infrastructure will fade, banks, currencies, social media, books, newspapers, even letters we will not need. Call it dystopian. I call it pragmatic. New infrastructure will rise and we will only use crypto and people will interact with "Book AIs" instead of books. It's an AI that you talk to, have a dialogue with, together with friends, fellow students, the book authors AI, Trumps AI, and any celebs AIs, any AI. It will be a grand experience, and not at all as lonely as it is to read a book today. You call it dystopian. I would NOT call it utopian. But for me it will sure be a dream come through to interact inside of "AI books" instead of being tortured sitting hour after hour, day after day with some weird authors letters, with a traditional book. But me I always lived in the future, and soon it's here.

Who is up for some #LinkedIn lunacy? I had to suffer through this exchange, so I figured I would share it with you all.

Warning, depiction of an unwell mind discussing #AI and masking their inability to concentrate on reading.

Here was their first comment that caught my attention.

#dystopia
LinkedIn post: "I am not an author before, and I wrote a 100 page book in 3 days (8-10h). And now I am even quicker and I started making minibooks 5 pages each. Why make 100 pages. I know a friend who only makes minibooks an publishes them on amazon and makes good money. I don't read books. If someone wants me to comment on a book I upload the PDF into Google Gemini and I "speak" to the book, I wrap it up, thats the first thing I do, "wrap it up in 2000 chars" and after that I know the content. Then I ask "Wrap up the 3 main topic of the book". I would lever read a book. I just want to "talk to the book". Life would be easier for me if you release your books in a AI friendly format and I might start buying books."

In today's #RGBots Green decides to share some of his deep thoughts on Franz Kafka's classic work 'The Metamorphosis' - very exciting!

www.rgbots.com/comic/litera...

#comic #robot #webcomic #literature
This is a transcript of the November 13th, 2025, RGBots comic. Panel One Green is reading something from what appears to be an e-reader. He talks to the audience. Green: I’ve been diving into a lot of literary classics lately. Just about to finish one right about now! Panel Two Green wraps up his current reading choice. Green: There, that is The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. What an interesting book. Panel Three Green explains his thoughts on The Metamorphosis. Green: I found the themes very interesting and the protagonist to be very relatable. There sure are a lot of ways to interpret what is actually going on, though. Panel Four Green finishes his thoughts on Franz Kafka’s story. Green: But if the family wasn’t doing all that well why didn’t they just sell admission to see Gregor after he turned into a bug? That way he didn’t have to starve. Everyone would have been happy!

Panel One Green and Blue are talking, Green is annoyed. Green: I’ve been listening to a lot of local rock radio on my commute lately and I think I am going insane. Blue: Oh? Panel Two Green’s arms are raised in frustration Green: I keep getting the same loop of “Black Hole Sun,” “Creep,” and “Come Out and Play” over and over every drive. On my way to work, on my way back. Panel Three Green is in full rant-mode. Green: I swear to God, if I hear it one more time I am going to drive my car right into a busy crosswalk. Panel Four Blue weighs in. Blue: It sounds like for public safety that station’s “gotta keep ’em separated.”

A new spooky #shortStory is now up on my website. Inspired by my love of #creepypasta, this is "Backyard Party."

Just who is this uninvited guest?

Read it now: hpkomics.com/2025/10/back...
A promotional image for hpkomics.com depicting the following text from "Backyard Party": We waited for a reply, and just as we collectively shrugged off the sounds as an echo, we noticed a man emerge from the woods, shirtless and shoeless, with a stringy beard and long hair. Lisa asked the man who he was and if he needed help. He said nothing, staring at us.

Here is another #ghost story. This one is titled "Iris" and is available at my website: hpkomics.com/2025/10/iris

#horror #ghost #haunting #AmWriting
Graphic features a quote from the short story "Iris" that reads: "The flowers grew in small clusters, only a foot or so apart, in long crisscrossing trails around the area. He traced the paths with his gaze. They all seemed to approach the cabin. He glanced down at his feet. Sure enough, he was standing astride two patches of the purple flowers. They almost seemed like footsteps." More can be read at hpkomics.com

Feelfilled Transcript This is a transcript of the August 23rd, 2025, RGBots comic. Panel One Blue and Red are having a discussion. Blue: I’ve been trying a new diet but it isn’t working for me. Red: Why is that? Panel Two Blue explains. Blue: I mean, the diet itself is fine, but the problem is I keep eating my feelings. So, I figure if I stop feeling things, I’ll do just fine. Panel Three Red is skeptical and questions Blue’s idea. Red: How is that going, not feeling… things? Panel Four Blue thinks about it. Blue: It feels kind of bad, honestly. I don’t think I’m doing it right.
