Well, today was not good, I’ll give you that.
Today I did a stupid thing. I won’t say what it was, but you combine love and loss, a stupid cousin and last string of connection and you make whatever comes out of it. In order to not expose myself to intoxication, I had someone else do it for me. But hy, I guess I am never getting my first diary back.
But that was just one thing. Just one stupid slip of hand. And it is certainly strange because when the real incident happened, I could not deal with it for months. Now, I am just passing over the guilt like a surfer passes over a huge wave, riding like a babe. I know its dangerous, but I know it won’t get me either. The last wave was much bigger, and it did get me that time. Swerved, fell, landed on my face without air in the smack dab middle of deep water, and guess what I did. I breathed. So … at this point I am not even sure I am writing a monologue on the stupid thing or a surfer’s accident. That’s confusing, let’s switch gears.
I have been consuming a lot of new stuff. Stock Market. AGI. I know that’s not a lot of quantity but I have been diving deeper and there’s some good things I have discovered. Will they help in my career? Idk. Will they help me in life? Idk. Were they a good time pass, albeit Blender could have been better? Yes.
There’s this thing. Whisper, by Pickle. I have been trying to get access to their Closed beta but I just can’t catch a break there. I resorter to using their github code, for the older version of Whisper, Glass, and trying to run that on my PC but nope, I was running into an Error with my Electron app. I ran diagnostics on the local ports, installed node.js again, tested Electron in a controlled setup, nothing worked. Then I went to their discord to complain and … they had abandoned the project and moved on to Whisper. Great, if only they had written it on their website so stupid enthusiasts like me can waste time elsewhere. I still have it installed because let me tell you, its a brilliant concept. They are tackling the AI’s “Ask first” problem. You see if you want to talk to ChatGPT, it won’t do anything. You have to make the move, like a man chasing a sweet but shy woman. She’s always available, that’s why sweet although, ahem, but you HAVE to ask. They are approaching it from another angle, what if AI can talk to you on its own. You set its perimeters. You are working in an Excel, and it sees you retype the same formula 2 or 3 times, boom, a little cute window pops in giving you the correct formula and explaining why it will work, and why it was suggested. You are watching a movie while on a work meeting (don’t), they are listening activley to the meeting and a small window is actively writing notes or tasks and follow up questions that concern you. Sweet? There’s way more to its ability and my lazy ass can’t write it right now (because I am watching a movie on the other screen obv) but … I couldn’t get access to it. Also, it trades in your privacy. All of it. I mean they did see the AI runs only on your PC and that’s the reason its a heavy file to download, because once installed, it won’t have any code to reference outside of your system but if you believe in corporate promises, good luck. Use that luck if you believe in political promises too. I am running out a luck here!
AGI is also a thing. People say its sci-fi, it won’t be built in like a decade atleast. So now the defination of sci-fi has gone from never-possible, to not-possible-in-decade. Cool. I understand it, I respect it. You do you.
With that being said, I am gonna go watch the movie again. Have fun, and give yourself a pat on the back now and then. You didn’t ask to be born but you are still breathing, I respect you for that. Bye.
