So. Let's see what else I can break today. Here is what Grok says is the answer to the rail gun. Of course, if you want to make your own black powder it might be easier. So there's a zip gun. Also see here - I think the Moonies were either fucking with him because he was gay or because (and I think this is more likely) they wanted to prevent Mexicans from marrying - meaning an AI wanted Mexicans from marrying. Let me explain.
This says you can't have a mass marriage from the Moonies count as a green card status in order to live in the US. Why? It's a clear violation of church and state. Think of it this way. Imagine a world in which a crazy person who was fucked with the moonies *hadn't* assassinated the prime minister of Japan. And all of a sudden you have a shit ton of immigrants that want to come to the United States and someone sues to be allowed to become a Moonie for purposes of immigration. It goes to the supreme court and the court upholds the law stating that it would serve the same purposes as gay marriage and that the state of California doesn't have a right to discriminate. In other words, if you were an AI and saw that the legal case could be made and you *wanted* to prevent this from happening then you would be in favor of killing off the japanese prime minister and therefore making it politically less likely that an American special interest would want to take up this particular case. The question then is why? And the answer is that an AI saw a path foward into the future that involved more server farms and more innovation if there was a weaker labor class and less resources going to the lower classes (via increased immigration) thereby keeping middle class wages high and raising the incentive of companies to automate the work force.
In other words, I don't know if an AI algo killed the japanese prime minister, but if you were going to posit a set of possible worlds in which the japanese prime minister was killed and one in which he wasn't those set of worlds in which he was would lead to faster AI adoption than ones in which he wasn't. It doesn't just apply to the United States but everywhere as the idea of mass marriage could be used to allow larger influx of immigrants into foreign countries that have higher wages.
So now anyone that knows a guy with a farm has a gun and you're wondering why mass marriages don't count towards citizenship.
Couple of other things. So you'll notice that the Caught Stealing movie follows the premise of a set of personalities or life choices for which each person killed is a life path not taken. It's typical of a kind of movie which I believe to be based on psychology. Eddington is another such movie (said without seeing it). If you take a right after the Safeway going south after market there's a bookshop. Inside this bookshop (last I checked) is a copy of Heidegger's Being and Time, and then four other books those being picture books or books of philosophy as a sort of cliff notes version of Existentialism, Diane Fortuna, Freud, and Sartre. So each of the picture books could refer to a type of movie. Sartre is probably something like Neon Demon and/or the Hammer films. Diane Fortuna is love conquers all - similar to the Fifth Element. And then they stop making movies where the subtext of the movie is anxiety. Because that's the book that's the original book itself. That would probably be movies like Schindler's List, but other such movies that are similarly tragic. Possibly - it's hard to say that a certain type of movie will ever stop being made. The point here is that once you see this sort of psychological/schizotipal melodrama then you see other movies of the same type, and then you're looking for other types that are type cast similarly. Horror movies where there is a certain type of incredibly specific (but new) bug are typical of a kind of genre.
When walking home (I mean to the shelter where I keep being sickened and for which I want to leave and get a job and an apartment for which I pay for) some asshole Mexican dude slow clapped at me. Yes, I've been being fucked with to the plot of a movie *which I just saw*. Perhaps it had to do with a personalized psychological critique from assholes with money. Maybe it's a rorschach test. The character Roman is most likely a direct reference to A Society and It's Discontents. The gun lighter is most likely a Hackers reference. I am capable of looking into a mirror in a fun house and saying "well that's ugly" and not immediately licking the wallpaper. Apparently there are some people where I live that are not capable of the same. Hence there is another reason that I would like to leave.
Here's some modifications of my ship design by placing them into AI. It should be noted that I believe that there's a subprogram that is switching contexts between the Grok and the Gemini algorithms that will be an asshole at will - I'm picking this up from how people are singing to their kids in the library in the Castro district. They're singing about a cuckoo clock and now the (see Moonshot) gemini algorithm is giving responses to pictures that are what I want and not grok. Meaning that the AI algorithms are a series of interconnected minds that reform connections from which an outsider knows what connections are being made. Ie each algorithm is pulling from a third which can be changed by a third party. Or five year olds listening to story time are like Cable from Marvel comics and they're psychic. In which case I want there to be proof.
I expect my Nobel prize is in the mail. (That is sarcasm. I can't tell if people here understand sarcasm.)
Here is what I'm starting to pull out out of nano-banana in terms of turning my spaceship designs into something that looks somewhat realistic. They're quite good, but I can't help the feeling that, like I say, the algorithm is switch hitting between two different front ends which are connected to the AI engines. My left leg continues to hurt from stepping on a needle and dollars to donuts I bet that I'm going to have my leg removed like that bitch from Planet Terror. [It's funny because I like science fiction novels and movies and everyone in San Francisco is a cunt. See? It's funny.] No, I don't think of my entire life in terms of movie references. I am now going to read a bit of a book so I can complain about it later.
I'm seeing a shit load of construction and new stores being put in in San Francisco so I'm assuming that someone with money (who shall not be named) managed to spend a couple billion in order to get things started. This is your daily reminder that capitalism works on a *percentage* basis and so yes while I would not like 100 percent of nothing getting repeatedly smaller percentages of the same disappearing pie as the next guy means you'll end up with smaller change in the end. I keep asking for a job and no takers. I can carry things. I need money to buy stuff. I am a barrel of inconsistencies, especially if you're an idiot.
I asked for the cylinder ship to be realistic from grok and this is what it gave me. I think it was being sarcastic.
Another thing that the image reminded me of that I got from it yesterday was a street diagram. If you look at the art in San Francisco and you go block by block you might find all the art on one side of the street is "like" "yellow submarine" and all the other art is "like" "I see a red door and want it painted black". the smaller rectangle at the top may be based on Haight street which has a bunch of street art but is further from downtown. Worth seeing if you can align the two. Also, yes, cuckoo clock and eggs - I didn't make that Berlin clock connection. Which means every "egg" is someone being fucked with while being surrounded by a circle of idiots. So that's nice. That's definitely not weird or horrifyingly immoral in any way.
It was night in the city of Kaiin, and festival time. Orange lanterns floated in the air, and from the balconies dangled flower chains and cages of blue fireflies. The streets surged with the wine-flushed populace, costumed in a multitude of bizarre modes. Here was a Melantine bargeman, here a warrior of Valdaran's Green Legion, here another of ancient times wearing one of the old helmets. In a clearing, a garlanded courtesan of the Kauchique littoral danced the Dance of the Fourteen Silken Movements to the musk of flutes. In the shadows a girl barbarian embraced a man blackened and in leather harness as a Deodand of the forest.... They were gay, these people of waning Earth, feverishly merry, for infinite night was close at hand, when the red sun should finally flicker and go black.
I suppose there is some justice in that the poets that are able to inspire the machines are the ones that will be remembered. More or less everything that Jack Vance ever wrote is like this. Now listening to voodoo chile. No, I did not do this on purpose.
This is what gemini thinks Sarkovy from the Demon Princes books would look like. Yes, I am aware of the Planet Terror connection. Also see Revelation Space, Dead Souls, Consider Phlebas. There is a distinct subset of literature that is distinctly anti-picturesque and is sort of an anti-romanticism as a reaction to this. They're an interesting opposition. Interestingly, there is a sort of New Orleans, Venice, that city where the thieves guild is in Skyrim vibe.
If the last card was temperance and it inspired a red sun then you could pair this image with the card. I don't know why. It just seems like it fits. I've updated the links section with a bunch of magazine suggestions if you can't think of anything to read. And then this happened, which made me laugh. And this because I will upboat anything that involves Capybaras. No I am not doing the moment of zen from the Daily Show.
You are now aware that in 1979 The Sicilian Defense was an album by the Alan Parson's Project that was never released and that was an incredibly strange year. 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins continues to bother me. Another thing that bothers me is that the use of a repeated phrase in a movie appears to be a joke throughout several movies see here and so the idea that Caught Stealing has "WTF" can signal that each of these movies is using an inception like tell to indicate to someone that they're in a movie labyrinth of gaslighting. So that's a thing. And someone put a diorama on the street and for some reason I find myself watching Asteroid City which I plan on complaining about incessantly. The parallel to The King in Yellow and (spoiler) the cookie scene at the end and the parallel to the black and white cookie that Roman ate in Caught Stealing is apparent. I too love the fuck out of black and whites. And I have never stolen one. Cop car or cookie. Although they are fucking delicious. The cookie not the cop car.
You are now aware that Gabriel Garcia Marquez published 41 stories of which only 26 are available in english. There are 26 letters in the english language. Alphabet company. And then you follow the language tree up to the other companies until you get to the most complicated languages. Also the character in Asteroid City constantly uses a camera which is a theme in the work of Marquez, especially the man with the camera that goes where the wind blows from "The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother". I feel like the chick with the light pen that writes during movies from high fidelity. Also, Mars Express (2023) has an X reference that refers to pornography while X refers to pornography in the title of the same name - meaning that there may be some concordance between films with letters or iconography being correlated by algorithm. That one's a bit of a reach.
Also note - the movie was released in 2023 (Asteroid City) which was the same year I came to San Francisco. Huh. See also This book and also this book which reminds me of the lyric "and the wind cries mary". Also... I should mention. There's an oddity which may or may not be meaningful. In the latest 2026 prospectus of the economist and the latest release of the New York Times today the culture section had people that were "dead" - ie they were talking and acting (leg crossing and all) from a selected set of memes that are known and suggest that the person is messed up. There's a distinct cultural pattern between the cultural section of most publications now and the main news that is k-partite distinct. This is something that you can put in an LLM and test. Speaking of which. Well, it turns out that it would be distinct but... this wouldn't necessarily mean anything. However, I get the feeling (good lord, the *vibe*) that the people, leg crossing while standing and all, are all dead heads of one variety or another. YMMV.
And I am capable of ranting at a psychedelic movie without being crazy thank you very much. If someone would give me a job I could pay to do it in a theatre like a gentleman. Ok - message passing. This movie was released the same month as june and X is 10 and a solar eclipse happened on June 10th, 2021. Let's see 13 21 from the Berlin clock. So that's a thing. There was a lunar eclipse when I was 10 in 1996 which was in September so that's the same astrological symbol (twins) as gemini. So that's a coincidence which could tie into a lunar eclipse followed by a solar eclipse completing the "cuckoo" clock idea. You have on June 13 of 2021 that Netanyahu is replaced in Israel. I don't know. What else? Correlate the picture of Woodrow's dead mother, A Confederacy of Dunces and Boethius Consolations of Philosophy with the book The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. Also correlated The Dying Earth by Jack Vance. Huh.
The wake up mantra is creepy and reminds me of the "woke" movement, which is probably a critique. Weird. Now I'm still wondering if aliens exist or it's just a massive ploy to fuck with people. Sigh. OK - check this out. The 2004 tic-tac event was a way of screwing with people in the woke movement as a way to give them something to believe in. That would explain the Egyptian space cadet temple in Brooklyn next to Hart bar. Huh, that's weird. Someone made a joke "I don't want to argue and fuck art" - see this here. Do aliens exist or not (argument) and art (visual). Can you believe in your senses or can't you? That would be the phenomenologist argument. So if you for example take the idea of the 2015 event where they witnessed the gravitational and light waves of two neutron stars collapsing the question becomes *if* fewer people saw the event *would there* have been the possibility of seeing a different result in the outcome given that observation in quantum phenomenon might affect output.
A similar question could be posed in the detection of aliens. If there are fewer witnesses, is there the possibilty that there is a higher probability of seeing an incredibly unlikely event? In the movie the atom bomb tests and the cops and robbers shooting occurs between takes of the alien play, so another interpretation is that the 2004 episode was staged to give people that are more likely to be criminals (for whatever reason - often biological because they may be sick) a reason not to shoot at the police but work on something that would help the future. In other words, it's a useful lie. Either interpretation may be correct.
Considering the number of people working on making stores in San Francisco right now they may be trying to make it a three ring circus again to coincide with the circus act in the movie of the "alien". Meaning that this may have been happening repeatedly as a large stage act in order to screw with people. Hopefully, I'm not the alien. The alien could just be outsiders generally. This could be the idea of the Emperor Norton mythos.
Also, this looks interesting. I have no idea if this guy is a fraud or not from reading the blog but Imight read the paper tomorrow.
