What's Bothering You?

As fire hydrants run dry in California while AI data centers use a water supply the equivalent of Guatemala's yearly consumption, I hope everyone who uses or supports AI in any way knows that they are complicit.

Whether you're generating or using AI art, asking chatgpt a question or to write your essay, or making AI memes that would have been funnier if they were badly photoshopped, you are complicit.

Today would have been my Mum's 71st Birthday and it's not even 7am here and the tears have been pouring down my face more than usual. I always wait until I'm alone before I cry as I don't want to upset my Dad, so I have to act as if I'm fine. I just miss her so much, everyday I think my heart breaks a little more without her. Happy Birthday, Mum. I hope you know how much I miss and love you.

Wow, I feel called out.

really need to see if my GP can refer me direct to a psychiatrist because the place she actually referred me to lowkey feels like it's wasting my time. i'm not sure what the woman i've been seeing is qualified for, if anything. i haven't even met let alone spoken to the GP apparently emailing my GP. there's been no mention of referring me onto a psychiatrist and i don't think there will be, and this unknown GP's advice was to put me back on an old antidepressant at a higher dose because he thinks the current one is what's causing my fatigue. (it's not.) three months for that to be the conclusion so far is crazy.

My sleep has been awful lately and I'm soooo tired this week.

I'm in the worst part of my winter so far. It's going to ruin my sleep schedule. I am too exhausted to explain it.
My mom also just came in and was being very frustrating about everything. I wish she didn't even talk to me... I got so annoyed I didn't even try to argue when she said something false about the weather. I just wanted her to go away.

I'm also feeling disconnected from something... Eh.

I promised my mom I’d sign up for the relay team at school so I did but I forgot to go to the meeting and I’m scared the coach will be mad at me or I won’t get a place on the teams djsndjsjs

Someone's playing really really loud music and it's very overwhelming Loud noises and crowds do not mix well together for me.

I will never look at a magnified natural sponge the same way again.

Spoiler: Too much info

I overheard one of my classmates compare it to "my man's pubes." Man, so immature?? I hate how they act.

My boys are booked in for their neuter tomorrow and I'm nervous.

Spoiler: Related Ramble

I think it's because this was unplanned! I was hoping to do this the last Friday in February, but when I contacted them to ask how early I should call to get them booked in they said, "we've space tomorrow, can you come in today?"

Mad panic trying to find a store we could get a second cat carrier local today. My partner ended up going to get it because I just couldn't fit it into my schedule around work and their appointment. Thankfully my boss kindly let me have tomorrow off to get their surgeries done - he was very understanding.

They had their pre-op check-up an hour ago and they are all good to go. The only concern the vet had was that Sebastian's testes are underdeveloped - but we were already planning to remove them tomorrow so that'll soon be a non-issue.

They're going to hate me tomorrow because they aren't allowed breakfast and I've had to turn off their automatic feeder so no 2am snack like they're used to. Last meal is 11:30pm, leaving for the vet at 7:30am.

I know they'll be fine but I'm just on edge. They're my babies! ️

Following AI developments from articles, books, and using them a bit myself over the last several months has made me so terrified for the future.

I don’t think we’re getting “AGI” or “sentience” by 2028 like all the tech CEOs claim, but I do think this technology will continue to rapidly improve and little good will come out of it.

The internet will continue to get worse from bots and AI generated content infesting everything, a lot of jobs are going to be replaced, misinformation and scams are about to become a lot worse, and reading comprehension is about to become less common since a lot of people will just have AI turn everything into bullet points for them.

In just four months Nvidia will release a $3000 PC for the general public with LLMs built into it. We are officially entering the 1970s in terms of AI adoption. Who knows what will happen once these computers become cheaper? Token limits will be a thing of the past. This horrifying technology will be everywhere and it feels like most people don’t see what’s coming.

Just found out I'm being laid off. And I was just thinking I'd finally found a place I was happy.

Really hope the power doesn't go out from the winter storm that's coming..
