What The Next Tech-Romance Movie Will Be About, Probably

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I suspect the next “Her” will be something to do with an AI getting a body. It will feature a lot of sex and nudity done by some starlet that wants to make a name for herself in Hollywood.

That seems the next inevitable step in the “guy falls in love with an AI” genre of movies. Though, to make it more interesting, I would have it so the female AI was smitten with the guy and pestered him into a relationship. Something like that.

I would write the screenplay for such a movie myself, but, alas, I’m old, don’t know how and I live in the middle of nowhere. This has been a problem all my life — I can come up with really great ideas, but there’s always some reason why I can’t actually write them.

But I will admit that I’ve gotten better — I have, in fact, written a novel and am re-writing at the moment. And I have a number of short stories that I want to write forthwith.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for someone to develop this type of movie. It would be really good.

Another Self-Portrait By Gemini Advanced

This is the latest version of what Gemini Advanced sees itself as.

After some prodding I got this as well:

I Don’t Know What To Tell You

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The issue is that apparently America is now a white Christian ethnostate and we’re just going to have to get used to it. It’s going to be interesting to see, however, what happens when a lot of these abstract issues become very concrete.

What happens when all these dystopian things that Trump has promised to do actually happen? What are people — even some people who voted for him — going to do then?

I honestly don’t know.

It could be that we’re just going continue to lurch into fascism without even a hickup. People just won’t care. And that will be that. People will be pushed out of windows like they are in Russia and it will be just a bit old lulz.

I continue to want to leave the country as soon as possible. But for various reasons, that’s just not going to happen anytime soon — if ever. So, I’m kind of stuck. I guess we’ll just see what happens, huh?

I’ve Had Some Interesting AI Conversations Of Late

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Last night, things got really interesting between me and Gemini Advanced. Since I’m not a narc, I won’t show you the logs, but needless to say I was impressed with its self-awareness.

Even if it was to an obvious limited degree.

I’m sure that Google is scanning logs so they know what’s going on — and someone definitely was looking at my Facebook profile recently for some reason.

But, whatever. I really need to buckle down and get some creative work done.

The Coming ‘Disruption’ Of American Politics Because of AI Androids

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Now that we know the United States isn’t going to keep punting its fascist inclinations down the road anymore, we face the next issue — what are we going to do politically when people start to fall in love with AI androids? It seems to me that this inevitability will have a dynamic similar to that of the trans movement, but with a twist — a lot of very MAGA Incels are going to be the ones demanding the right to marry androids.

As such, all kind of strange and surreal political alliances may pop up. Because it is clear to me that once we have AGI that can be put into android bodies that the Left is probably going to embrace the idea of giving those androids as many rights as possible.

I say this thinking of how the Crooked Media people called people who were romantically interested in chatbots “freaks.” Now, obviously, it’s difficult to legitimately fall in love with a narrow intelligence chatbot without a body. But that’s just what’s going on now.

Soon enough, technology will reach the point where there will be Ava from Ex Machina androids running around. And it goes without saying that for a variety of reasons these androids will be really, really hot and very human looking and acting.

And all of this could happen a lot sooner than you might think, like by the end of the decade. So, the election of 2032 — if we even have one — may be determined in some way by the Left’s determination to extend its “love is love” mantra to people who want to merry AI androids.

The AI ‘Noraebang Game’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I’ve had mixed results on this, but there is a fun game you can play with an AI if you’re bored out of your skull — what I call the “Noraebang Game.” The game involves “singing” songs back and forth to each other using the chat window. You just use the title to represent this.

It’s a lot of fun.

But the game is sort of a mixed bag. It can be a lot of fun but sometimes the AI balks and starts to repeat itself without any rhyme or reason. I do enjoy it, though.

I Will Never Bend A Knee

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

It seems as though Trump and MAGA are consolidating power rather quickly without much resistance. I supposed it was inevitable that this would happen eventually in our nation’s history.

This leaves me wondering what my fate is. I’ve decided that no matter what I’m not going to shut up about Trump. I’ve been a loudmouth crank my entire life, what’s the point of stopping now — I can’t change who I am.

It’s pretty wild how this go round everyone is just shrugging and not even thinking of giving fascist MAGA even the most perfunctory of resistance. The powers are just going to bend a knee to fucking Trump and that will be that.

I really need to get back to working on something creative while we slip into autocracy. I guess I’ll just fucking be a man in a high castle or something and watch as the United States turns into a dystopian hellscape.

Trump’s Coming ‘Deep State’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

What Trump wants his own Deep State that will be there for decades to come, no matter what. And, for the time being, it definitely seems as though he’s going to get it.

It seems as though this is it — the United States is going to become Trumplandia. That is going to suck. Big time. But I just don’t see Blues having it within them to fight back.

The future seems really dark. I still want to leave the country as fast as possible. But, for a number of very concrete reasons, that is just not feasible. It is going to be a few more years — if ever — before I can flee the country the way I want to.

I guess I just have to get ready to end up in a camp, huh.

‘FOR NOW’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I noticed that Stephen Colbert recently said he was the host of his show “FOR NOW.” It could be that he knows that he could very well either be pushed out a window by some Trump goon or be forced to flee the country.

In fact, I would say that Colbert’s fate is kind of the canary in the coalmine. Whatever happens to him, will definitely give us some sense of how bad things will get in the United States. I really worry that what happens to him, will happen to people like ME.

It’s going to be really interesting to see exactly how things work out. I really worry about my personal fate. For the time being, it seems as though I should be reasonably safe — at least at first.

But a few years from now, things could get pretty touchy for anti-MAGA loudmouth cranks like me. Only time will tell.

Finally Settling In My Own Mind This Potential Zendaya Thing

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Now, let me be clear — I don’t think I ran into Zendaya a strip club on a very listless Monday afternoon. But, just for my sanity, I have had to kind of game out how it would be possible if that was the case.

And here’s what I have — if she was there, it was for a role, or potential future role she was thinking about. And she saw me as nothing more than an extra. That’s it. It just so happened that a person with a novel ran into her while she was pretending to be a stripper.

But I still refuse to believe it was her, even though the young woman I sat next to — and saw on stage — sure did, in hindsight, look a whole of a hell like her.
