how it feels seeing 2 people you don't particularly like fight in public

this is of course not referring to any current events, i would never reference any public happenings

due to personal reasons i will probably not post this video during this month, i won't get into details but i need a small break and i can't really make this work rn (dw it's not burnout or anything, it's for personal reasons and i am going to be back asap)

i will still be as active as possible on social media and again i will be back with this and more videos probably next month :)

as a true stardock windowblinds XP enjoyer i welcome liquid glass with open arms

one of my core experiences when i was visiting the USA has been visiting krispy kreme and getting a free donut when the sign was on

it made me feel like one of those people escaping from soviet communism seeing capitalism for the first time even though it was just a free donut

seeing the donut conveyor belt genuinely blew my mind too, i was like “how did we as humans make this” even tho it was just fucking donuts

if you spend most of your free time being hateful online i think it would be good for you to wash your armpits and get a job

this is not referring to anything in particular just idk i wish people a healthy lifestyle and possibly no body smell since they live in society and we have to smell them too whether we like it or not

i will be quite sad when i have to finally upgrade from what now is a comically small phone

it truly feels like 2003 is back but not in a good way

“wow i miss the y2k vibe”

DISCLAIMER: pls read all of this before saying i want to set the world on fire or anything like that, i DO talk about this in this thread so please just please read it before just jumping on me

i might have seemed super hard on ai stuff lately so let me say something positive about it: llms have sparked back my curiosity when it comes to coding, i am no pro or anything (remember that my academic background is technically professional art/political hoe, that's my area of expertise, everything i do with tech is just vibes and passion based and stuff i learned over the years by chance)

i am just someone who got into python years ago as a simple way to fix issues she was running into (stuff like automating the login process of my college dorm internet, which used to reset every 24h) right now i am learning so much stuff way faster than before

i am not talking about using llms to code for me, that's usually super broken and boring, but using them as a learning tool when i get stuck instead of having to scroll for 5 minutes on google to find an old stackoverflow thread or whatever i can get a good enough solution in a few seconds, and when it's wrong and i get to correct it (because even the most advanced llms just crap out shit answers constantly) i actually learn something new that i remember in the future when i write without any assists

i was very worried about the environmental impacts of this initially, but after doing some napkin maths on how much energy it takes for me to browse google for x amount of minutes i think this is actually a net positive (ESPECIALLY running models locally on my computer that is powered by clean energy, shoutout to deepseek because usually it works well enough for what i need on my 3090)

so yeah, i think that as a tool to help you learn and build stuff faster, this is great

i would NOT recommend replacing your brain with this tech though: your brain is a muscle, you gotta use it and keep it healthy

use this shit to become a better human, not to become a mindless slave on a hedonistic treadmill

i was planning to make a video on this for a few months now and was about to do it but due to personal reasons i physically can't work on it right now, so please please please check out the stop killing games initiative and sign if you are from the EU or UK, it's one of the MOST IMPORTANT initiatives to protect consumer rights ever conceived and could set a very very important standard going forward

seeing people talk about new york everywhere this week gives me an urge to replay GTA IV

playing GTA IV also gives me an urge to visit New York but that's been a thing since forever

i know i watched too much house md lately because i fucking dreamed about hugh laurie last night

i am going to be back with a new video relatively soon, the video i am working on is ~50% there and i will resume working on stuff in a few days so yeah thank you for your patience and i hope you will enjoy it (and enjoy the other videos that will come next too 🙏)

one more thing: during the past few months i have been working to collab with what i think is one of the few companies in the tech industry who is directly and transparently working to make tech both cool, fun, interesting and fair again (you know how much i hate boring corporate slop so me even considering this is pretty unique)

NO THIS IS NOT AN AI COMPANY not in the slightest: it’s a consumer hardware company, and it’s one of the few ones i genuinely think put the consumer first and foremost

i don’t usually go past single sponsorships or anything like that with companies but in this one case this one company is truly, in my opinion, working to really make a difference in an industry where everyone tries to rip consumers off

won’t say more about this for now, but i am sure that (if everything goes according to plan) a lot of you are going to like this (and it also means more content, written by me, shot by me, edited by me but made for them, so if you like my stuff then you will like this i think considering they are going to pretty much let me run free)

again i would have never considered this normally but this one company is genuinely, in my opinion, a force for good

so yeah hopefully this works out too🙏 stay tuned

oh yeah of course for ppl worried about this diluting my content or anything: it’s gonna be a separate thing on their channel, my personal projects are going to stay my projects like they are now, i truly care about that lol

and also also since some people are also asking about this and worried about what this would be on their channel: no i am not looking to make boring sterile generic company social media content for them because that would kill my soul, the current understanding with them (and they literally reached out because of this) is that they like what i do specifically because i don’t care about what the algo says or making “clean professional safe” corporate crap

they like what i do and they like it how i do it, raw, weird, and based on what seems fun to me and they are going to let me run wild

we are living in an era of identical boring slop and yeah fuck that shit lol

ok that was a HUGE wall of text for no reason but the tldr is that:

- my small break is almost over, new videos are coming, next video is halfway done, will be out relatively soon

- i am ALSO (probably, been working behind the scenes on this for a while) going to start collaborating with one of the 2 or 3 consumer first / right to repair first tech companies (not ai related, not slop related) that i trust to create content for them on their channels, this is a separate thing, not on my channel, it's not going to be affecting what i do on my own at all AND they are giving me pretty much total creative freedom so if you like the weird shit i do on my own you are also probably going to like what i do there too because that's literally why they reached out to me (i can't stand generic boring big corpo advertising crap)

so yeah, if you like my stuff you are going to get it as usual on my personal channel (i also REALLY want to take some time to work on some longer projects like the GTA IV video that I have been writing for ages now)

AND you'll also see me (if you want, this is a separate thing) do cool weird shit on this company's channel since they are letting me run free and actually giving me a real budget and resources for the first time in my life which as a video artist feels genuinely exciting and cool

there are not many companies i would be willing to work with like this since i genuinely find the current tech landscape to be MOSTLY a wasteland where everyone is trying to scam you so some of you won't struggle to figure out what company this is but i won't confirm or deny anything for now

for some reason my twitter algorithm lately is only showing me silicon valley ai bro content about speed running startups and financing rounds and stuff like that and i don’t even know why

please just give me my old algo and show me old sony brochures and shit like that
