I want the AI models to use my data.
My controversial opinion is that we should want AI to use our work to create its thinking.
I certainly do; I want my perspective and style to be part of its calculations, no matter how small.
I've set this website to tell AI to gobble it all up. Please, AI, use my work.
I know a lot of people are sensitive to the big tech companies stealing their hard-won work; I sort of get it.
It's your work, and now you're out of a job because now AI can do what you do.
And you haven't been reimbursed; they've just taken everything, the collective's combined knowledge and art, including yours.
But I believe that we have to take the chance that it will all be worth it, and do you want the AI to be an amalgam of everyone's opinions but your own, so your style, beliefs and opinions don't count?
I want to be part of the cloud mind.
I’ve been code-mad for the last 4 days. I call it code-induced psychosis, where all I can focus on is coding.
Giving up video as a content creator has been good for my work-life balance; good video can take a team to do well, it’s very time-consuming, and if you’re not over all the aspects of it, the result can be disappointing; writing, while not as popular, has fewer physical dimensions to it. That being said, I’m not sure if I’m any better at it; it’s still a hard discipline to get right.
As a young creator, I’d start things and wouldn’t finish them. I have learned to finish my projects, books, etc. But I haven’t learned to stay the course on an ongoing project you build towards. I’ve started all sorts of ventures where the idea was to build an audience, but within weeks or months I have pivoted due to little traction. I don’t know whether those choices were wise and the projects would never take off, or if I just needed to give them time.
This time around, I want to stick with it and stay the course, even if interest doesn’t pick up, that what I’m offering isn’t what people want or how they consume content. I want to stay the course for me and not get derailed by stats and numbers. This is my path, and while I hope people join me on it, I’m hoping I won’t get discouraged if they don’t.
Whenever I'm writing, I've got a candle lit, in remembrance of little Timmy and what those monsters did to him. Okay, Timmy's fine, jk, but I've definitely got a candle going at my desk.
Codex is so much better than Gemini at coding, and it's not even funny. I was even using the latest Gemini model, but it's slow and doesn't do what it's asked. I got Gemini free for twelve months with my new Chromebook Plus. I was going to cancel my ChatGPT subscription, which has Codex, and just freeride using Gemini. But I can't trust it not to fuck up my apps.
My creativity is a sickness; I should be doing the dishes right now.
The coding never ends: It's funny how you make an app, but it's never done; you want to set it and forget it. And you get to those stages when you think it's done, but then you come back the next day, and you want another feature, there's a bug, or a layout issue, and it never ends. Software is never finished; it is only abandoned.
Big day yesterday, got a lot of good work done on my apps, my wife wasn't phased when she got home, and nothing was done; she's living her best life, so she gives me some leeway.
I went from having ten social media accounts and getting nowhere to now having just my Facebook account, and getting nowhere.
Life is short; nobody has time for my bullshit. That's why I keep my posts short, just like my 'no need to brush' hairstyle.
