I block accounts that use Generative AI.

I hate this crap at work. These are my options in my career/goal setting. I don't want to do any of that shit. I do not dream of labor. I want to work on comfortable assignments that don't stress me out too much and have my raises keep up with inflation.

Career Preferences
- I want to be a recognized expert and focus on mastering my specialty
- I want to take on challenging assignments that push me outside my comfort zone and help grow
- I want to explore new roles or functions and connect ideas across different areas
- I don't know(yet)

Today's side quest. While looking for a fuzz pedal I decided I liked the Elder God, which is technically just a fuzz face and a green Russian muff with a blend knob. It's over $200. Or I can get a fuzz face clone kit and a green muff clone kit and make DIY parallel jfet buffer circuit for $120....

I'm starting to think "researching DIY split keyboard designs" might be a depression indicator for me. It satisfies both "starting a new project, spending money on myself, AND a justifiable productivity/health purchase"

Why is it I can actively see my reduced mental capacity, mood, and health when I don't get enough sleep, and then CONTINUALLY. NOT. GO. TO. SLEEP!?

Today is an excellent day to zero out one of your email box's and then spend the next few days unsubscribing from everything as it comes in. I hope you find a subscription you didn't know you were paying for and get some money back.

I continue to pay for guitar lessons despite being in a depressive slump and having no interest in doing anything creative at all. My guitar is sitting it's case where I left it two weeks ago after my last lesson. But if I cancel my lessons it'll be another 5 years before I pick it back up again.

See, this is why I like @kagi.com search. This is AI done properly. It doesn't show up unless I click it, it recognizes this is medical advise & gives a good disclaimer encouraging seeking real medical attention, & best of all, it gives references with links to where it pulled all the information

Literally in my morning meeting one of the developers complaining about the AI token crash. "What got me a month of work previously now only lasted 2 days. Do they actually want me to use this workflow or is it just a toy?" You love to see it.

I'm really starting to think i need to shutdown my desktop computer sunday night and not power it back on until friday night. I sit at this thing and my life disappears.

It's monday. I need to start work. I've already read about 8 tragedies and Gweneth paltrows opinion on the military industrial complex. I want to die.

Using AI to generate pictures mocking our clusterfuck of a president is still AI slop using excess resources and providing metrics of adoption and I will still immediately block you for it.
