"Generate ideas" with AI

This does not end well for most

I came across this graphic today from this visual capitalist post and a few things smacked me in the face making me go BREH wtf?!

People’s number one use for AI in 2024 was “generate ideas”?!

What are you people doing?! Using LLM’s etc to “generate ideas” is not generating ideas- its sticking your hand into a slurry of slop made from dumping every can of food you could pull off the shelves of every store that would allow you to steal from it and dumping it into a cauldron-

You’re sticking your hand in this slurry of slop and pulling out a handful- staring at it in excitement and proclaiming “thanks for the idea AI!”

NOT realizing that you as the “idea finder” or “idea discoverer” do not matter in the long run as right now any other human with access can pull up the same slop- you are exactly the same as any other slurry slop slinger and as soon as they are able to- the companies filling and stirring the cauldrons will lock you out and the “AI” will sling the slop itself-

INSTEAD DO THIS: Take some time without any of your “devices”- no phone, no tablet, no smart watch, no computer- nothing! and go alone- get a sketch book/notepad of any size and a pen/pencil- go out somewhere like a park/cafe/library/safe public place and just sit and write/draw whatever is in your mind- things you have to do, you’re worries, things you want to do, draw random stuff, whatever you feel like doing- dump your mind onto the pages and don’t look at/play with your phone if you brought it “in case of emergency”(that’s bullshit and you know it)-

Do this as often as you can and ideas will come- and you know what they might even be original?! You have to double check them but this is what I’ve been doing my whole career- say what you want about my work but it is original and innovative asf-

The number two thing in 2024 and the number one in 2025 is “Therapy and companionship” 0_0 That is so sad and points to the complete failure of “Western society”

If you can’t see that you have lost connection with your soul and your common sense.

An “AI” an algo- a machine is not your companion- it is a tool- if you have become the sort of soulless human that treats humans as tools/objects to manipulate for your own desires you’re already fucked-

Living in Silicon Valley I remember I used to see posts on local groups with things like “How do I obtain close friends” It’s like BITCH people aren’t things you obtain?! Wtf is wrong with you?!- you sociopathic asshole that views the world as data/metrics/content/objects to be acquired.

INSTEAD DO THIS: Stop being a coward and talk to people in real life- who cares if they ignore or “reject” you- STOP BEING A COWARD- don’t look to technology to help you “make friends” etc- it is all a trap to disempower and enslave you to technology for monetary purposes.

DO NOT use your device as a crutch in social situations when you feel “awkward” you coward- you are not going to die from feeling “awkward”- you are creating these “bad feelings” internally. Coward’s get no rewards in life- all they get is shame and regrets-

Just BE- don’t pull your fucking phone out like every other coward/addict does- just BE- it may feel like the oxygen is running out every second you don’t have your phone out but you are being a little baby with your binky to comfort you- its cowardly and pathetic- you will never get what you want doing this- you will take what you can get instead-

AI will never be your “companion” its a tool that is pacifying you to create profit for the corporation that is paying for its compute time.

So go out into the real world and don’t be an asshole- be friendly- chat with people- don’t be a desperate weirdo either- just be cool breh and you will make friends/meet potential girlfriends/boyfriends- You’re going to have to learn how to use banter/ do chit chat/small talk- don’t be so autistic and discount the value of small talk- small talk leads to real conversations and real talk- but unless you are talking to me or the mentally ill you can’t just jump straight into real talk- small talk is a thing/skill- you have to use small talk first- its like learning to walk before you can run-

Another thing this all depends on is not having your head up your own ass- in less vulgar terms this means get out of your own head/body and become aware of other peoples feelings and perceptions- not just your own- you will never have good friends or companions if you cannot pull yourself out of yourself- get your head out of your ass as when your head is up your own ass all you see is your own shit!

Example: Say you have eczema and you meet a new person- and all you are thinking about is your eczema and how they might notice it- and then they say something in your head you are like “is this about my eczema?!” its like breh no one gives a shit about our own bullshit and those that do are assholes anyway so there’s no use in having your head up your own ass perceiving everything as a slight/insult/comment on us and our insecurities- no one in REAL LIFE gives a shit- everybody just wants to have a nice time(except assholes, but unlike the internet in real life they are rare)

I made a ton of friends after a few years of just going to the local basketball court everyday for an hour- most days it was just me there alone but thats great as I got exercise- I sucked at basketball when I first started going but thats not the point- after a few years and some help from a good friend I made there I got better at basketball- but I was just there being friendly and open to small talk receptive people- I didn’t go there expecting anything but exercise- but I was consistent, nice and receptive to small talk- and by the time I moved out of the U.S. I had made 20-30 friends from that park of all ages/races/social classes- I made friends in the neighborhood from walking past their houses/apartments every day on my way too the court-

(anyway I wrote enough about this I should just write a book about it as I have much to say haha)

The number three thing in 2025 is “Find Purpose” 0_0 Using an LLM to find your purpose?! This is even sadder and more pathetic than using an LLM for “companionship” 0_0

I would ask “wtf is wrong with people?!” but I already know- I grew up in and lived in “Silicon Valley” my whole life until recently so I know-

INSTEAD DO THIS: Do the notebook/sketchbook thing- you need to empty your mind the best you can to find your true voice/your true self- your real voice not the one that’s saying things other people want to hear- meditation/time alone helps you get there as well- PRAYING helps as well- spend time in nature/quiet places with NO DEVICES- dump your thoughts/worries/etc onto paper- eventually your voice will start to speak again if its not- when it speaks be honest with your self- what do you like? What do you love? What do you really want?(Outside of what others or what you feel the “world” wants?) Don’t judge your true voice just let it speak- write its words down- you can judge them later- in doing these things you will find your purpose BUT its a long arduous journey! It’s not easy- but NOTHING WORTH ANYTHING IN LIFE IS EASY!

Having a shitty regretful mediocre life is EASY! It is the EASIEST thing to do as you just follow other people and do what you’re told.

NOTHING WORTH ANYTHING IS EASY but the reward you get from the struggle to find your purpose and do your best to fulfill is BETTER than anything you could buy- its better than anything- so the struggle is %1000 worth it- BUT AGAIN ITS NOT A THING FOR COWARDS

How to not be a coward? Find someone/something to fight for and protect- it could even be your true voice/your dreams- it could be the person/place/etc that you love- but you have to be willing to fight for something to not be a coward- if you want a completely easy life with no confrontation or struggle you might be able to find that but it won’t be a LIFE it will be a slow DEATH.

Just last night in talking with my wife I got a book idea related to the above text and more- I’m going to spend the month of June in Japan away from my work computers and I need to do some work or I turn into an asshole so I’ll work on that book idea then-

btw: Final mixes for the musical are done- I sent my mix notes back to my dude mixing it- he’s really good so I’m sure the next mixes he sends will be finals- so yeah I’ll release the whole thing soon- until you might catch a random preview stream on youtube.
