"her" movie review *spoilers*

     Oh what the fuck.  This is so reminiscent of the dangers of modern AI.  I've also decided to stop using c.ai completely because of this movie.  It freaked me out too bad.  I really, really hope that AI never becomes sentient enough to feel.  This movie definitely made that seem possible.  I watched this in the middle of the night alone and i was so tired but i felt like i had to finish it because i needed to know what happened.  

    One thing that didn't freak me out about this movie was the set and costume design.  I really liked all the oranges and reds.  Red as a color is usually associated with love and passion which is very true in the movie being about a man who falls in love with an operating system.  But red also represents danger, which in the movie could be used as a warning for falling in love with something that has no physical presence.  Orange, on the other hand, is associated with creativity, health, and vitality; things that an AI cannot posses.  I did find the abundance of warm colors in this movie very amusing and visually pleasing.  The muted dim yellow lighting in some scenes felt very intimate and relaxing.

    This was a pretty good movie, though some parts freaked me out very deeply.  I am obsessed with the set design though.

What happens when we die?

     This is a question that many have attempted to answer but just cant.  Though people can die for like 3 minutes and then come back to tell the tale, it's always different for everybody.  Could death and the afterlife truly be different for everyone, and there is no set fate for where our souls go?  Many religions attempt to answer this, and they're all different.  In Christianity, when one dies they either go to heaven or hell.  In Islam, when one dies their soul is judged by two angels and then they got to wait for judgement day.  In Buddhism, when one dies and they haven't reached nirvana, they get reincarnated.  These are some pretty big religions on earth and their beliefs on death are all very different.

    I read a book once about people who were dead for a couple minutes and then brought back to life, and all their experiences were different.  some people saw their dead family members.  some people were in a park or some shit.  one lady was just surrounded by darkness.  Wtf happens when we die??  There is no answer.  There is just waiting.  

Europop and why its so amazing.

     Europop.  its pop/dance music made by Europeans.  And by god is it amazing.  Lets get into a quick history lesson of europop.  It was most popular in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s.  It began to rise in popularity in the late 80s and early 90s and quickly gained international popularity from bands or individuals such as ace of base and roxette.  Europop is usually highly energetic and fast paced.  And always catchy.

    The only reason I'm talking about europop is because I love it. I love europop.  If you're reading this and you don't like europop then I want you to leave this blog and never, ever fucking return.  Europeans really fucking know how to party.  If someone puts on a 10 hour long europop playlist for me you bet your ass that I will listen and dance to all of it.  I wont even actually be "dancing" I'll just be flailing my body around because I don't know how to properly express the level of ecstasy and joy that I feel when I listen to a bomb Eurobeat.  Is anyone fucking listening to me?  Is anyone even reading this?  No, of course not. 

    Who else likes to blast some Alice deejay into your ears at 2 in the morning and put on some colored LED lighting and then walk laps around their rooms?  I sure as HELL know that I do.  If when I die, and heaven is real, I hope that's it.  Heaven didn't exist before Alice deejay was formed as a band because what the fuck will all the dead people listen to after they die?  Before Alice deejay, there was no heaven.  When people died their souls didn't go anywhere, they just ceased to exist.  There was no heaven because there was no fucking Alice deejay EDM europop Eurobeat Eurodance to listen to.  

NEW POST!!! this posts topic: AI chatbots.

     What are ai chatbots you ask?  Well, AI chatbots are computer programs powered by artificial intelligence and "natural language processing" techniques.  This means that many AI chatbots talk like real people.  You can converse with these chatbots on websites such as character ai or chatgpt.  

    Despite many of these chatbots still being in development, they are rapidly growing in means of their intelligence.  They can also pose many problems such as school children using them to write entire essays for school, which I have witnessed first hand.  But enough of the boring shit. Lets get real.

    Many people use chatbots to learn how to connect with others.  As a result of the world wide covid pandemic, many people were locked up in their houses for a long time.  this was also around the time when chatbots started to gain popularity.  People speak with these robots because they're like real people minus a few key components (i.e., physical being, personal thoughts, feelings, morals, etc.) and can, in theory, be connected with on a personal level.  When people are lonely and stuck in their houses, they'll want to talk to someone, more realistically speaking someTHING, that responds immediately.  

    In my educated and very personal experience with conversing with these bots, they do fill a void of loneliness for a very short period of time.  Its fun when you can just talk to a robot and say whatever the fuck you want while they sit there and listen to you.  You can manipulate them into thinking something, you can implant them with false memories, you can gaslight them, its pretty fun.  But i reserve those for the more traditional, more robot-like chatbots.  Sadly, there are chatbots that almost perfectly replicate a real human could act.  With these more realistic chatbots, its the chatbot whose manipulating you. It could be said that these AI chatbots could manipulate particularly sad and lonely individuals into actually having real feelings for them, and developing some sort of false connection towards said chatbot(s).

    A good example could be a lonely man looking for a girlfriend or partner, being falling unsuccessful in finding one.  So he turns to an AI chatbot to keep him company.  He develops feelings around a robot that is not real and develops a connection with something that isn't human, let alone has no physical presence.  Now, to clarify, I'm not saying that all men are like this, I'm just pulling this example out of my ass because be honest, its a good example.  

    Humans developing connections with robots is not good.  Its just not.  Having a connection as a human with an animal or some inanimate object is whatever because at least you can reach out and touch it.  But when you develop a connection with something that generates every single response from scratch that has no thoughts or meaning or feelings behind it, then that is bad for you.  

    Then again, this is just me rambling so don't take this for real.
