AI is a lie

"Do not believe your eyes...I must inform you that this is not real....Do not believe your eyes. In compliance with international disclosure protocols: It is essential that you understand this content may contain simulated reality."

It appears that AI is destroying the internet. It's becoming more and more difficult to access information online that is not generated by AI, and it's becoming difficult to find any quality information in the general search listings, other than what can still be found by word of mouth or by doing deep searches, buried on some fringe website, social media account, or obscure science journal. 

Just do a standard Google search for medical advice, such as how to treat a wound, how to lose belly flab, etc., and you'll find it difficult to find information that is actually useful. You'll see a lot of duplicate generic content on multiple sites that does not match its title, with the only remedy being to find digitalized books in places like the internet archive that actually go into detail with solutions that actually help. That's where the real wealth is stored, in real books, written by real people. 

I do surveys for extra money, and also my freelance work, both involve working with AI, for AI evaluation and quality control, and am able to evaluate AI generated videos that the public does not typically see, and it's very realistic. Of course, it has its flaws, but is amazing how the technology has advanced where an entire outdoor scene on a busy public street filled with people walking about in the background can be entirely AI generated. And I'm seeing so many new YouTube channels that appear to be using that same technology. 

I like to watch skateboarding videos, and am noticing this growing trend of YouTube channels popping up showing people skateboarding across the country, but they are all very similar, I mean with different faces, but they have the same body movements and similar speech pattern and weird looking eyes. And it looks like AI. 

I'm thinking a real person actually did ride their skateboard across the country and filmed it, and then sold the footage to be used for AI augmentation. Meaning they created a template of a real person skateboarding, traveling across the country, staying in hotels, shopping, interacting with people, which can be reused multiple times, with customization, each claiming it to be their own.

This can be done for all kinds of things, anything really, any action that can be used in a YouTube video. A person takes that original footage, is given a license which enables them to change the appearance of the person and the scenery, superimposing their own preferred images, body, face, voice, clothing, etc., and even the background can be customized to anywhere in the world. 

I think that's what's happening. I don't have a problem with people doing that, but I do have a problem with them not being honest about it. It's like maybe people can be entertained by AI generated videos, and maybe it's possible for an AI generated video to become a successful hit, and more entertaining than watching real people, but it should say it's AI, and it shouldn't pretend to be otherwise.

The same thing is happening with commercials, it's almost all AI generated now, which means most actors are out of work, and I don't watch TV, but I watch YouTube, and I'm noticing a lot of new commercials being released lately that remind me of the weird commercials from the 80s, and like they copied all these old commercials, with new AI generated people, and give it a slightly new twist to sell whatever the new product of the day is, but it's really just an AI copied clone from the past. 

I don't want to watch AI generated videos, or read AI generated text pretending to be real people. It doesn't mean there isn't any value from AI generated content, but the fact that it is being used without the added disclaimer that it is AI, and not a real person, is wrong, and the failure to do so, I believe, is destroying the internet as we know it.

Crazy Eyes

I don't know if this picture above is AI generated or not, but you must admit there is something off about his appearance, those are some crazy looking eyes. 

I absolutely hate AI generated images. 

Truly, I hate it. It's so fake. It's like what a comic strip cartoon would look like if it was generated by a robot operating on autopilot with no mind of its own. The programmers created a template, a template invented by pathological liars, and the machine is just following orders, and when you ask it to be creative, it hallucinates. Which means it just makes stuff up, stuff that sounds good, is grammatically correct, and if you didn't fact check it you'd think it was written by a peer reviewed scientist, but instead it was just made up nonsense, propaganda generated to make you confused and misinformed. 

Anyway, I've been watching a lot of YouTube, every night, even though I have other channels to watch, I've been watching YouTube almost exclusively for months. And what I've noticed is that pretty much the majority of channels I watch show signs of being manipulated by AI.

Skateboarding videos. Backpacking videos. Bicycle touring videos. People living on sailboat videos. People living alone in the woods and building log cabins and living off the grid videos. People working at stores and video taping the experience and then suddenly becoming successful and earning a full-time income from being a social media personality videos. 

It's not that the scenery is fake, but the people are, or at least the faces that you see, and the people doing the talking, the main characters of the film are fake, or at least digitally altered.  I'll post some evidence in another post.

I can tell by their eyes. I watch different YouTube channels, and I'm seeing the same eyes on different people. It's like a template. AI video persona template. You see I'm not in the VIP group to have been given this information, because if I were I probably wouldn't be writing about it, but I discovered the possibility of it on my own. 

Anyway, I don't know if these people are completely fake or not, meaning is it ALL artificially generated, or just some of it, meaning in some cases they may be real people behind the account showing their real face from time to time, but they use the AI as a stand in, to show them doing something that maybe they never actually did, like instead of hiring a body double actor, they use AI instead, where it is embellished with AI. Or is it all fake? Where whoever created the channel is not using their real identity anywhere and they are not physically present in any of the footage, but what you see is an AI generated persona solely to either make money, or to push an agenda without exposing their real identity? 

I'm thinking I should probably take a break from reading all news channels, YouTube, Netflix, and all social media accounts, including the Nitter/Twitter feeds that I have considered up until now to be truth speaking whistleblowers, but most likely are something else. Maybe I won't give up all movies just yet, but probably if I watch movies, I should probably stick to older ones made before the year 2000. 

So, for the next month or so, all posts here will be related to personal experience and commentary on books I'm reading, and there will be no posts commenting on the news or on something I read on social media.

Zika head


So, I finally finished reading Journeys Out of the Body by Robert Monroe.  It's triggered all sorts of memories. Like when I was in high school, I was really into reading about lucid dreaming and out of body experiences, because I've always had vivid dreams, and still to this day remember dreams I had in my childhood forty years ago.

At one point I actually considered attending the Esalen Institute. Glad I didn't though, because it's a fucking cult, and a recruitment channel into other nefarious activities, much like the Freemasons and the Church of Scientology. 

Anyway,  as a child I had dreams of flying, dreams of jumping with legs like rubber bands, dreams of floating up into outer space and viewing the constellations up close. Yeah, I've probably been traveling outside of my body for most of my life. 

The point I'd like to highlight though is a part of the book toward the end when the author talked about experimenting with inhalants, such as ether and nitrious oxide, used in the context of facilitating out of body experiences. He mentioned an example of people being employed on gasoline tanker ships, who became addicted to getting high off the fumes. Much like winos, they'd be found passed out next to the gasoline storage tanks after a long night of huffing. I had never heard of that before. It never occurred to me that some people employed in certain industries where they are exposed to toxic chemicals, may actually be enjoying the experience, and are there specifically for it, where they perceive it as a job perk, even though it's causing irreversible brain damage and killing most of them prematurely with cancer.

It reminded me of where I live, where currently all of the maintenance men are Hispanic, and English is not their first language. The painters, the carpet layers, the landscapers, and the people who resurfaced the tennis court, none of them in all the years I've lived here has ever visibly worn any personal protective gear, such as respirator, ear plugs, eye protection, etc., when dealing with volatile chemicals, toxic fumes, paints, solvents, etc.. 

And when I first noticed it, I was like these people are fucking dumb. Dumb Mexicans. They're retarded zikaheads. But then I thought maybe they are exploited. You know hired for the job but never warned about its dangers. If they were given the accurate information, surely they'd care, and do the right thing.

Well, that might be true for some, but unfortunately around here is not true for most. I'm finding that many of them actually like breathing in the fumes, and it's probably the highlight of their day. The landscapers running leaf blowers for hours at a time, not because they are actually doing anything useful, and not because they are just going through motions of working, but actually they are intentionally getting high off the fumes.

For example, I've seen the maintenance man repeatedly painting the same flag pole, not because it needs to be done, not because he is just killing time at the end of his shift, but because he's getting high off the fumes. There's no other explanation. I've seen it in their eyes. The forever smile, the eyes that always sparkle. You ask them a question requiring reasoning, and they just laugh, and act like it's something that only they know,  and is outside your understanding. Those are the eyes of the Mexican man addicted to huffing solvents and paint.

The Mexicans resurfacing the tennis court where I live, I watched them near the end, lying directly on the court, literally lying on their backs, laughing and smiling like little boys, even though they were probably in their 20s or 30s, high out of their minds off of the volatile chemicals. And it's something they do on a daily basis. I wonder how many IQ points drop per year of doing that? No wonder Mexicans have a reputation for being lazy and stupid, if anyone of any race huffed enough toxic fumes you'd be a brain damaged Zika head too.

Death Cult

 

This guy in the picture above, really does look like a Nazi, but ironically he also looks like an Israeli storm trooper. 

What's weird about it is that if he was a black or brown guy, most people would think he looked like a gang member, or a terrorist, but because he's a white guy, most people don't see that. 

Just saying, tattoos are not a good look, regardless of your intentions.

I never really thought about it before, but an upside down cross sure does look a lot like a sword. And doesn't an upside down cross represent satanism? 

Honestly, I've never liked the cross as a religious symbol. I never worshiped the image of Jesus dying on the cross either. Like not to discredit the message of Jesus, but worshiping the cross he supposedly died on seems sickly perverse. It's like a fucking death cult, and I don't think that's what it was originally about.

Anyway, it's probably all theater. These are all actors. I didn't vote for Trump, even though I was definitely leaning toward Trump. I didn't vote for Biden or Harris either. They are both members of a sick cult, and I don't want any part of either one of them.

The Genocide of Trees

These old ones that dwell upon us, who live for 100 to 1000 years,  much like the ancient Saguaro cactus. Who has forgotten the memory of the Sycamore tree, the glorious white barked tree that holds the mystery of the old world, much like a weeping willow? 

Well, this apartment complex nearby where I live, just chopped down all their fucking trees. We're talking trees that are like over 100 years old, over a dozen of them, and there was nothing wrong with them. I wonder why?

Well, apparently the people here in this city in which I live are at war against the trees, but really most of the common people are completely unaware of it, because they are asleep and cannot be held accountable for their incompetence, because they are completely out of their minds. Meanwhile the real perpetrators are invisible, and act very much like foreign diplomats with international immunity.

The travesty has happened. You can call it a genocide, a massacre of Ancient Wisdom, like Avatar, all the trees are connected, and these were old trees all killed at the same time. That's what it is, and I am probably one the very few people here who have noticed that it is happening. 

These are some pictures from an apartment complex that I walk by sometimes. I don't live there but I walk by there and it use to to be very nice, a park like atmosphere, full of well established sycamore trees, but for some reason the apartment complex decided to chop them all down within the last two weeks, destroying perfectly healthy Sycamore trees that have been here for more than a hundred years. 

So, I walked around and photographed the tree stumps. I'm using a generic camera, so if things look a little weird, that's why. I probably should have gotten a Go Pro. I also wish I would have gotten a good Nikon or Cannon camera with extended telephoto lens, but I've completely run out of money now, so making the best of what I have.

This final picture of myself, you must understand, is not a hunter posing in front of a trophy kill, but rather of an investigative journalist attending a funeral, exposing the crime of illegal poaching of an endangered species. It is not a time of celebration, but a time of mourning.

The Ant Attack

So I mentioned that it's been the worst summer ever, but didn't really elaborate on what I meant by that. There are several contributing factors, but I will only explore one example right now, supporting the argument of this being the worst summer ever. 

I live in a hot climate: Southern Arizona. I'm not from here, am from the Upper Midwest, but that's where I live now.

I can count on one hand the number of times I have ever been bitten by ants in the first forty years of my life. This year I have been bitten by more ants than I have ever been bitten before in all of my life. 

For most of the summers here I would wear shorts and short sleeved shirts whenever I could, but this year is the first year in my life that I have not ventured outside beyond my own front door, without wearing long pants and long sleeved shirts. You know I ride a bicycle all year-round. I'm a full-time car-free bicycle commuter. It's 100 degrees outside and I ride my bike. And yet I'm wearing long pants and long sleeves, even on cloudy days. First year ever I did that. 

It's because I'm being attacked by bugs. Mosquitos and ants, mostly. Never had a problem before. I mean, yeah, I've been bitten by mosquitos and ants before, but not like this. It's like they are vampires after my blood, and they are vicious. I wonder why?

A couple months ago, when I stepped outside in the early morning to bring my cat in, wearing sandals without socks, walked a few feet onto the lawn and literally within seconds, was immediately attacked by ants, biting my legs and feet. 

A couple weeks ago, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and lay down on my side, and was immediately bitten on my left arm by ants. There were like over 50 little ants on my bed, and they were coming in through the wall from the electrical socket. I must have caught one hundred ants in total. They don't like peppermint oil. That's a good ant repellent. They also don't like chalk. I've lined my front door with a thick layer of chalk, one inch is not enough, need to go at least three inches. And it stopped the ants, for a couple weeks, but now they are coming through the walls, in various cracks and crevices, in different areas than before.

Today I woke up with an itchy left hand palm. Then I noticed that my entire left hand was swollen, I appear to have been bitten on my palm and the top of my left hand multiple times. I applied an ice pack and made an herbal poultice using Mullein, where I put it in a tea bag and taped it to my hand, and the swelling has come down somewhat, but it's still swollen. I showed my swollen hand to someone, and they said, oh you might have to go to the hospital.

I originally thought it was a mosquito bite, but now I'm not sure, because I have found multiple ants in the middle of my floor a few hours later. I have also been bit on my face, even when I was wearing shorts and a tank top inside, and have also been bitten on the bottom of my left foot as well.

I'm seriously contemplating setting up my tent in my room, in place of my bed, and sleeping in it, to be protected by the mosquito netting. Because this has never happened before. I've never been bothered by bugs as much as I have been in the past few months, and I'm thinking it's because the blood supply is now contaminated, and the bugs are sensing that my blood is healthier for their survival.

I Almost Forgot

I've been freelancing for at least ten years now, and longer, if you count the brief period of time I spent playing poker online for real money, and living off the earnings. 

It was almost 20 years ago, but for the most part, the majority of my freelance work has been supplemental income, meaning that I already had a job, and the freelance income was extra money.

Now let's fast forward into the future. 

2024 is the first year in my life that I've ever attempted to survive entirely from freelance income.

Well, it's been a struggle, and some would say a complete disaster, because in this time my savings has been getting smaller and smaller and not growing at all.

I had one month where I made significantly more than my previous 40 hour a week job. Then I had another month that I made less in a month than I had previously made in a week. 

It's been a roller coaster. 

Of course, it doesn't help that I don't really have a professional skill to fall back on. I'm not a computer programmer, or a graphic designer, or a public accountant. And I'm obviously not a construction worker, plumber, or electrician. I'm just someone with above average intelligence who has scraped by doing jobs that I really don't care about doing, but am able to do with above average performance. 

Doing freelance work may sound emancipating at first, but I guess it depends on what work you do and the people you work for, but in my case what I'm doing right now puts me at the mercy of people and organizations that I have absolutely zero influence over. 

I'm just a cog in the machine, even worse than before when I actually had some job security, and if they can find someone else to do the job more cheaply than you do, and are able to do it at a minimum level of performance without completely screwing things up, well then, I guess you won't be making any money from them anymore.

Some Hard Rock Blues for the Hard Times Ahead

I first heard this song at least 30 years ago, but I never really payed much attention to the lyrics until now. It's really funny, because it's like highly relevant to my current situation. Should I leave Arizona, or should I stay? That is currently the most important question of the day. I knew that the Mormons would screw me. I kind of knew that, because I worked for a Mormon company, even though I knew they were a fucking Satanic cult, and yet I had high hopes that they were in fact in actuality good people, you know clean cut, don't smoke, don't drink, extremely trustworthy, and conscientious, but unfortunately, as I've found from personal experience, that much like the Jews, and much like the Communists, they are in fact, collectively as a people, what I would classify as being extremely hive-minded, status quo thinkers, that just follow orders, and don't really care about doing the right thing, because it's like, you know, above their pay grade. 

Anyway, this is a fun song, and I think I'm going to try to learn how to play it on my ukulele.

 
Original Title: MUSIC BREAK: ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER (THE HOUSE RENT BLUES) 

The Truth in Plain Sight

This is a video that I guess you could classify as being dark comedy, but there is actually a deep metaphysical truth to this. Yeah, despite being a secular humanist for most of my life, I've lately been reading the Bible, because being an extremely intuitive person, I sense that the gates of hell have been opened. I can't articulate it clearly right now, and I know it sounds crazy, but I think maybe if you want to trace the source of this madness that has been unleashed upon our world, you need to look at what's been going on at CERN. I think the mad scientists have finally succeeded in opening up Pandora's box.
