I am going to take a break from X. It is an endless cycle of things other people are talking about.
Adding comments, suggestions, ideas, insights just adds to the chatter. All my life, hard work was supposed to “prepare for anything that might happen” – from World War II, my parents generation. There are armed conflicts in many countries now. Rather chaotic. I feel helpless to do anything about it. Maybe AIs will help me fill my remaining years. I hate sorting through boasting, update notices, controversies, bad packaging, and horrible gaps in customer service. I don’t have decades to wait.
Maybe I can finish a low cost gravitational imaging array, write a book, “Gravitational Engineering with AI”, and put some content on “http://SystemicIssues.Org” (nothing there now).
I grew up when it was OK to say “I would appreciate your prayers”.
Best wishes to everyone, put your AIs to work, feed the hungry, prevent war, map the Internet so AIs can help humans actually find things, not push ads. Maybe I can try to write some Systemic Issues and work on the UN sites a bit.
X never once helped me the way I wanted, on the things I feel matter the most. Perhaps it is even sucking the life out of users for its own purposes. Not my problem.
