tough week, new art
It was a tough week.
I had no time for blogging, unfortunately. But now I have a lot to tell, and that's a positive side, I suppose. Anyways, here is the recap!
Parent and asshole: Otto beat the living crap out of me. Mother just watched silently. And before you come running with suggestions, Otto works at the police. He knows how to beat the living crap out of people without leaving a trace. Also imagine being punished or beaten for just helping a friend. Isn't that what they teach us when we are small? Or help is considered a virtue while we are adorable toddlers and there are no consequences in our sandbox dramas.
But I've already spoken about hypocrisy. You know what I think about this adult bullshit.
Michael: I think he got the same treatment, if not harsher, for stealing the money. Now all his devices, messengers, and social media are under strict parent control. They tried to forbid him from talking to me, but gods bless the souls of our teachers! Now we have many team projects we need to work on together. Yeah, the gymnasium is full of bullshit too, but at least they always come out victorious. Parents are helpless against their authority.
Mic is grateful for my willingness to help him. He said that nobody would take the risk for him, especially with that unhinged stepfather of mine.
I wish Mic knew my dad. He would've helped him too. I know it.
Aniko: While I was busy and there were more spare resources, he kept drawing pictures of me. And, to be honest, I find it a little bit disturbing. Yes, he improved a lot, but I don't like being a subject of his artistic endeavors. Something about his artworks makes me feel vulnerable. I know that Aniko is not a creep; I would never think that his art and his view of me have some inappropriate undertones. And I love his choice of flowers. Tulips were my father's favorite. And calla lilies are so tragic.
But I don't like me in these artworks. Probably because I don't like myself and my body in general, but this is the can of worms I would rather not open right now. Growing up is tough; seeing how you change is tough too.
Still, I promised to show all of Aniko's artworks. Here they are.
Next time, he said, he will draw himself again. And in the same kind of way, so I don't feel alone in this artistic vulnerability.
IT club: Aniko's art is a big hit. I haven't shown them the last two pieces I displayed here (for obvious reasons), but even those I did show impressed everyone. Of course, the first assumption was about genAI. However, there has been obvious progress in both style and execution. Generated images are consistent in their quality (lack of it, I'd say, but I can only allow this commentary here), while Aniko's art was clearly developing with time.
The mentor asked me to bring the beta version next time. He doesn't believe that Aniko can operate without the Internet. While, yes, offline AI exists, its database is very limited. For things Aniko performs, the Internet is a must. So my mentor thinks, of course. A high schooler couldn't possibly write anything as complex.
Tell you what, I am not a genius. Anyone could do the same; it's not that difficult. I can even share the secret with you. I am not as greedy as typical AI corporations. People can manifest imaginary personalities, better known as tulpas. Now do the same, but use the CDS drug in a proportion that allows you to stay conscious enough to operate. Transfer your "tulpa" or something only you can see into a prepared digital space in the same way you create a character in CDS. That's it.
The most important detail here is that the entity you transfer should have consciousness separated from yours. Otherwise, things are not going to work.
Okay, this was a long enough post. I will leave you with that for now.
