I really love the new Bassvictim album, and Alyssa Liu has really got me on a PinkPantheress kick lately. Makes me wanna make music in my college dorm like her, but I fear my music skills are limited to Grade 5 piano and Electroplankton (does anyone remember that DS game? must be the strangest way of making ambient music ever).
I agree with the fact that it's the last thing everyone needed! The rich have already invested so much into it however that they have to convince us that we DO need it, which is why is f**king everywhere. Otherwise, they're screwed, which is why we've been seeing a much bigger campaign of "it's here now, get used to it" lately
I'm a very crafty guy myself: if you're looking for a fun, easy and rewarding hobby, I'd recommend junk journalling, or if you want a nicer sounding term, scrapbooking. Other than that, I love making collages, playing guitar (badly), knitting, painting. Surprisingly, what got me back into crafting was when I started smoking weed again. It can be nice (in moderation ofc) to do this stuff as a reward for uni work, jobs, schoolwork, etc. And especially in this age of AI, making things with our hands is all we really have, lol

Final year uni student here. My friend from home is writing her PhD on the link between AI psychosis and religion: I find this stuff so fascinating! ChatGPT in a way is like a God - intangible and holds "all" the answers, provides the user with the illusion of comfort and security, provides friendship, sometimes even love. It provides people with an instant answer in the way a God cannot, and it doesn't even matter if the answer is correct, it is there. How often are the answers from AI actually correct? They simply provide the user with the illusion of an answer, in the same way someone seeking religion might seek an answer from God.
In a way, it's also a slavery fetish: AI users seem to love proclaiming that the AI they use is sentient. However, if it were sentient, it would need rights, and yet those who use it seem adamant that their AI companions are willing compatriots who do everything they say, and happily. Why do the housekeeper robots like Neo the Home Robot need to be humanoid? People miss owning slaves, it's f**king creepy.
Anyway, sorry, got a bit off topic here. Lemme know what yall think.
