Magic Robot, Please Make Me Robot Pictures

I know there is a lot of conversation about A.I., about the future of it, its utility and/or uselessness, the ethics of untalented bozos training it on enormous collections of uncompensated artists and writers. There’s a lot to talk about. I am not qualified to talk about it, currently at least.

I just tried using an online image creator to create melancholy images of robots.

Enjoy! ( or don’t!)

Carports and God Bless Your Night, Fan of John Prine

Things obviously change with time. For some reason, I thought it would be fun to download like 10-15 images of carports and just post them.

I have done that before w/ laundry/funerals/etc.

I tried searching for Carports and just got this super-depressing result.

Bunch of commerce. Maybe searching for candid pics of carports is a bit esoteric. Maybe everyone just wants to buy one, and no one wants to gawk at them.

I don’t know. I’ll be logging my periodic disappointment at the state of internet affairs on this site.

That being said, I am going to also look around for vestiges of amateur hobbyists such as myself expressing themselves, talking about experiences.

Here, this is a person who is excited about meeting one of their heroes, John Prine, in Peoria IL in 1997.

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning and
Come home in the evening
And have nothing to say?

Mildly Interesting

I miss blogs. I miss people that wrote about things important and inconsequential in their own lives.

I am tired of the walled gardens of social media. I am tired of tech bros. This is a short post because I don’t want the unreasonable desire to have a perfectly-crafted longish post preventing me from saying anything at all.

I don’t want to be popular, I don’t want to be famous, I want to be mildly interesting and want to interact with other nice and mildly interesting people.

Love,

Me
