Happy New Year to all my readers. 🥳
Thursday 1st 37F/2.8C [9.15] A grey start with rain and gales. 62F/16.7C and falling, in the room.
Up about 8.15 after waking earlier and lurching from one dream to another. An unusually quiet night. I woke at 5am to visit the fire bucket. That was it.
I can report. That, on Day Five of this national health emergency. My Man Cold has finally broken. I still feel fairly awful but am no longer coughing helplessly into the bottomless pit of immovable goo.
The box of Kleenex remains untouched. Except for when I needed to staunch the flow of organic, low fat, Mini-Milk down my beard. As I completed my ritual bowl of oats and raisins. While still semi-comatoes and excused boots.
I don't blame myself. How could I? It's not rocket science. The milk is so diluted that it's viscosity is almost immeasurable from water. They should put government heath warnings on the stuff. "Runny when wet." That sort of thing. Rather oddly, it's no cheaper for being so watered down. So I am beginning to question the source of the water they use. How do we know its "Organic?"
I may even venture out in one of my recycled jackets. Though it's not a great day for it. I could plod around the parking area for a bit of exercise. Nothing too ostentatious. No arm waving. I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself. They may think I am throwing a wobbly about something. Then start going through my old Tweets. For evidence of malaforethought.
9.20 I have just lit the stove. Somebody had to do it and the promised domestic robot still hasn't arrived. [For reference I clicked the blonde box under desirable attributes.] I am not settling for any of your standard Chinese stereotypes. One has one's standards.
I am beginning to think robotry is all AI created video and fly by wire. Via a Sony PlayStation control box. Plugged up the robot's remote bum socket. That'll teach me to believe anything I see on YouTube!
AI is supposed to be going exponential this year. Which is totally insane. Much like all of our supposed leaders. Except Mette Frederiksen of course. Who is absolutely wonderful. Until she turfs me out. Or locks me up in an old people's home and throws away the key. Probably on some Trumped up charge of trying to popularize the Dunning-Kruger Effect. I don't mind solitary confinement. I have been practicing it for what seems like ages. Does blogging count as talking to yourself?
AI is being built by a few of the world's most predatory psychopaths. All of them bullies with well now histories of cheating, mistreating and dismissing large numbers of people. AI uses data from the gutters and sewers of human dregs. The Internet. Where every psycho vents his corrosive upbringing on everybody but himself. Where bullying and crushing large numbers of innocent people is the accepted norm. Where lies, deception and crime are openly discussed.
So what comes out of the big, AI mincer? Exactly what you'd expect but on steroids. The leaders of the countries housing the main combatants are similarly 110% psychos. Xi, Chump + Putin? All of these are Hitler Lights but with much better weapons. None of these sickos are ever going to want to slow AI. Or turn it off if it goes completely rogue. They will weaponize AI long before the cheap gold paint is dry on the data centres.
10.00 OMG it's getting darker and darker. I had better stop rambling and get back to YouTube. Is it too early for morning coffee?
13.15 Back from a short walk along the road. A few coughing fits but I survived. Lunch!
The rest of the day was spent watching YT videos on AI and other subjects.
Dinner demanded I regain the missing calories from foregone meals. Organic sausages, mushrooms an egg and chips. Probably went over the top. Particularly on quantity but there were packs to use up.
