--- There's lots of unrelated thoughts popping into and out of my consciousness.
--- One of those thoughts is how these thoughts disappear into the ether before I post them.
--- I have written about this phenomenon before, obviously I have done nothing about it.
--- This post will be an attempt to do something, I will use it for a post!
--- I have noticed that people don't seem to read much. That is, it is easier to speak and talk than the write and read. The natural thing is to speak. Writing takes more effort, come to think of it, reading takes more effort than listening. People can "listen" without listening. But you can read without understanding too.
--- Lately, I've been writing a bit about the AI phenomenon, and the dark side of it. The dark side of it is going to become more obvious over time. Unfortunately, by the time people start to notice it enough to want to do something about it, it will be too late.
--- That fits into what I just wrote. There are readers and talkers. There are listeners and thinkers. You can guess where this might be going. But I'll make it easier for you. That's because people are always looking for convenience. They'll take the easy way out. The easy way is to have someone explain everything for you. That hard way is to have to figure things out for yourself. Most people fall into the former category rather than the latter category.
--- People have made a good living out of doing things for other people and getting paid for it. Funny that I haven't figured that out with this blog. So I don't get paid anything. Indeed, I stopped trying to make any money off of it for a long time now.
--- The thing that I'm doing is more like what a parent does for a child. But it is thankless task for the most part. Children aren't grateful unless they are taught to be grateful.
--- Lest someone think I'm virtue signalling, I assure you that I'm not. I'm pretty bad about showing gratitude.
--- I suppose my attitude is that I give and you take. Why should I thank you for coming when I give you something of value? What are you giving back? You grace me with your presence. Well, thank you for that much. But I want more. That doesn't make any different than anybody else. So it isn't virtue signalling.
--- If you find no value here, then I'm not forcing you to come. Come as you are, as the song says. Here's the song...
--- Anyway, the whole idea here is that AI is taking over the world. That is because people are tending to fall for the convenience of having someone or something do something for them. If the machines start thinking for us, and speaking for us, then what use do we have for each other any more? The machines may get smart enough to figure that out for themselves, and then we will be history.
--- The point is that this all proceeds from laziness. The point being you better start doing more stuff for yourselves, and stop being so lazy. That goes for me too.
--- Be good out there. That's all for now.
