outsourcing lives
While i wrote about this already in my journal, the internet needs to see(lol only if anyone's out there reading my blog) this. I read this post on instagram on "outsourcing cognition". How we are relying on AI to think for us, and do the stuff. I thought why not go a step further. There are plenty out there asking GPTs- oh, i have xyz situation, what do i do? Not only we are making it do our thinking but also making it live our lives. We are now depending on goddamned ai to take life decisions which have physical/tangible consequences?! Where are we heading to?
In an argument with my mom, my sister blurted out that "i would keep a maid for the chores you treat as a living." I see doing ones' daily chores as caring for oneself. But it's easier said than done(since that's me passing this statement when I never did anything at my home).
I made a portfolio site yest. The domain, free with GitHub student developer pack, was something I had planned to redeem for a long time and it only happened yest, a few days away from end-sem exams. Made an extremely yummy garlic bread and devoured it in seconds. I want to set up a stall now. Only to sell those.
With anxiety(due to inaction), i went over to my college's website to get previous years' papers and saw that it was revamped. Somewhere along I found "Tap Recruiters". Ofc correcting things is my hobby so informed them. But i'm sure they won't have taken it nicely if I protested about advertising falsely as Google was under it. Our prof once told us in class to be mindful while posting anything about college on social media. Think about the lives of thousands of students that would be impacted. Emotional blackmailing/manipulation or threat? Why not genuinely strive to make the org better and take constructive criticism? Do they get that "fake till you make it" is not for them?
I want to buy air dry clay. My pinterest board is asking for forgiveness atp. But the req are expensive(atleast for me). Art is not for the poor.
I finished "Lessons" by Ian McEwan. I was still surprised when i finished it as I thought my reduced reading momentum over the years and the book itself with all the disturbing abuse would take me an year to complete it. Finding the words - Stockholm syndrome, made me uneasy and had me introspecting.
Never do something that you don't want to. Adjusting, gaslighting, or distracting yourself will not help. Never do something that you don't love. (Or maybe do what you love if you have it figured out.) It affects you and the people around you very much. On this note, I end my random blabber.
