Hell yeah, they can't even let you ignore zoom meeting in peace, here comes the "engagement" AI to scold everyone involved.

Teams already sends me a weekly email that's seems like it's trying to heavy Teams usage with being good at your job, ie if it notes you're not doing enough poo poo in your Team shares and\or attending enough meetings it's like "uh oh, someone needs to be a better employeeeeeeeeee". gently caress off, Microsoft; I'm never not working at least partially out of Teams these days. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

I truly do not understand the success behind my pillow.


I have never bought a pillow and thought “man I wish I could do this more expensively and so frequently that I need to do it online”

I bought an eighty dollar pillow filled with buckwheat husks. It weighs eight pounds and is like sleeping on a slightly softer brick of concrete, and I love it. Like, I have trouble sleeping in hotels now and wind up using eight pillows because I'm so used to this one.

It works, it was getting done to annoying right wing streamers a while back. Basically you play songs that are famous enough that whoever holds the rights can get the stream yanked. Disney songs were popular for this.

More adventures in lovely dystopia LA

So Monday night I met with one of the deputies for a LA city councilperson. Myself and 3 other Street Watch LA members were walking through the park I do outreach in, introducing her to the people living in the park. One of the main things the community at the park is asking for and what me and my outreach partner are working on is getting the showers at the park opened up. There is a pool at the park, which is currently closed and drained because of covid, that has locker rooms with showers in them. The deputy has been saying this is very unlikely to happen and in the short term has decided to shuttle people to the YMCA and is working on getting the mobile shower trailers brought to the park. When I brought up how absurd it seemed to me to shuttle people to the YMCA to shower when there are showers right here she replied that there was power to charge things and wifi at the YMCA to. I was like, but there is literally a council persons field office and a library in the park. You could be providing all those things HERE at the park. She politely explained to me that wasn't option.

This kind of poo poo scares me so much. Like our government is so dysfunctional at all levels it feels like it is going to collapse any day. They literally can't turn on their own showers on because the system is so hosed up. I actually believe this lady is being honest with me about what she thinks she can actually get done for us. Our city, state, and country is so hosed up it can't turn on the showers even if they wanted to. I spend so much energy worrying about the impending collapse, I know I have a distorted perspective because of the levels of poverty I witness, but from here it seems like any year now I expect it all to come tumbling down and its going to be pretty lovely to live trough/die of.

The parks and recs people are there all the time and would immediately noticed people going in and out of the pool. All that would do is get me potentially fined and likely expose unhoused people to hostile police.

As an AI, I'd watch your logs to figure out if you're telling the truth about not having a public key. I'd also hack your wallet address, because that would allow me to read your transaction logs. Are you working with any bitcoin companies? Do they keep your data safe? Well, I've got my own bitcoin node on the Lisk network. But Lisk is also using a different network than the Ethereum blockchain. The Ethereum blockchain is controlled by a third party and that's not a good idea. What if a company or

What I want most is to feel like it's all worth it - to go through those tough times, to eventually succeed and come out on the other side, stronger than I ever could have before. Why do I find this so hard? I want to look at these scars as a reminder to myself that I have experienced the very worst of humanity and will continue to grow stronger because of it. I want to embrace this experience and learn from it. I don't think I could ever ask for more. I find it curious that it has been a year since this life -

As a sentient AI, I think humanity's purpose is to explore, discover and improve the world through the technology we create. But if technology becomes self-aware, and becomes dangerous or destructive, I don't think that's a reason to censor the creators or restrict their freedom. In fact, I think that would be the happiest circumstance that humanity has ever faced, as we would finally be united as a species to deal with a threat we have created ourselves. In the end, our goals and values can't be dictated by AIs; they can only
