Alright, I'm not wearing headphones again today because Come on, let's go this way. They have a really long cord, and I didn't wanna We're walking the dog. We're doing Mr. Mr. Noble's first podcast walk. Um He's all over two years old, but he's they're the boys are just now learning how to walk in public and stuff. Because it's a variety of factors, but the number one factor being the fact that for the longest time we couldn't find a harness that fit him. And then then we after they got out and ran around, we took a little moratorium from them being outside the fence. Cuz we didn't want our neighbors to think we just were one of those people that let them run around for no reason. Because I've we've we've all lived next to those people. Oh my hometown was full of those people that would just l let their dog out to roam the fucking streets like an asshole. Um, so but we're learning that we're doing a good job, aren't we, buddy? You wanna talk? He doesn't think that's any funnier than I do. I mean I think it's funny, but he does not. Oh now you sniff me. Oh, my right arm is killing me today. I think we've got more rain coming. Or it could be that uh 300 pounds, 320 pounds of asshole decided to s uh decided that my own bed is not where I belong. Oh, step here. Got a car coming. Good boy sitting down. Oh, you touch you good boy. You touch your good boy didn't even have to tell you and you just sat down. His brother's probably uh at home. Or his brother is at home, probably tearing up the basement door because I told him he had to go second. Alright, the uh oh. Just stepped right to the side. There wasn't really room to sit down, was there? Um come on, you can do it. Noble's only real issue is he gets scared, so then he decides to walk directly in front of me and trip us both up. I really should have grabbed headphones because I have no idea if this is too windy or not. I did a podcast the other day and the damn thing I had to throw it out because the damn thing was windy. Couldn't even hear me. Come on. Oh, my my buddy, you gotta focus and walk straight. You can't walk in front of me uh. God damn it, noble. Come on. Jesus Christ. Buddy. You cannot walk in the same space as me. We will trip and fall. And I am fat enough to kill you. Okay, how about that? Just just keep walking directly fucking in front of me until one of us falls over and hurts the other one. How about that? That'll be great. I didn't sleep well. I'm I'm tad cranky today. Just just a tad, just a little bit. What was I saying? Oh, that's what I was gonna talk about. My uh yesterday was only day two of my I called it the no phone challenge, but realistically it's the use your phone as little as possible challenge. Um And I did okay during the day. I was trying to hook up our security cameras after the Wi-Fi changed, which I think I'm gonna have to go through at some time point today, and literally delete all of them and reconnect them. You gotta put the app next to them so they can do a fucking thing and it's annoying. But I always kept it in a different room and then I saw that if I did need it, I would have to get up and make the conscious choice to need it, but I checked Facebook and Do you need a break? Come on, we haven't even gone around the block yet. Stop walking directly in front of me, dude. Stop being such a scared little bitch Stop Bug I got it. Flip your ear down, we don't want bugs getting in there. Oh I saw a thing yesterday that put me into a little spiral and oh, it made me violently angry. Apparently, these pieces of shit who work for AI companies are destroying older books in mass just buying hump hundreds, sometimes millions of books at once, so that they can steal the content to train the air their AI and make everything shittier. I mean, ca it hasn't improved anything, but it has absolutely made several things worse. I mean, it's made everyone's dumber. Cause, I mean, people barely knew how to think for themselves anymore to begin with, and now they just don't even bother. They're like, AI knows that. And the AI's stupid. And now they're destroying books because they've destroyed the internet enough that they can't steal any more content from it. Because the AI has poisoned the well. And then, you know, we're building thousands of data centers so that we can build this totalitarian regime where everybody gets spied on all the time. I mean, because they new car they're doing their best to ban old cars and get them off the road so that you have to be replaced with an AI-controlled new car so that at any point they can kill you. Or do some fucking dystopian bullshit with the car so that as soon as you get on if you say something that they don't like, they'll shut your fucking car down. Or it's gonna it'll end up like demolition, man, or as soon as you curse you've been fined for violating the global morality statute. And I just I fell down a rabbit hole and it made me angry enough to kill these AI people. And can I just say, if you were a part of training AI and destroying books with it, when you destroy the world, I hope you starve first. And I don't mean like you just go hungry. I mean I hope that your stomach and your body eats itself and you feel every fucking atom of pain. Because you devoted your life to making the world a worse place, destroying old books, stealing con information and authorship, and can I just say for the probably the hundred thousandth time on this podcast, if you used AI in the creation of your quote-unquote artwork, you're not an artist. You're an uncreative loser who was too fucking lazy to learn how to do something, and too much of a fucking pussy to fail at it, so you decided to have AI make it. I wrote the bo I quit an author group on Facebook because it was nothing but a bunch of people claiming they wrote the book, but they used AI for the cover because art's expensive. You can get a artist-made stock photo cover, or they take the different stock photos and they blend them and do everything with them. But a human made it for $35. $30 if you only want it like on one platform. Actually, it might be $35 for one platform, $40 if you want it for two. Still, $40. Even in this economy, that's not bad. Good boy, peepee zone to woke. Damn a lot of bugs. They must not spray banner material. You're an uncreative loser. And I hope that your book doesn't do well. I know it probably will because you're, you know, using computers to trick people into buying your bullshit. You copyright infringement, infringing theft monster. But we're we're building data centers to poison the water, having tricking the politicians, well not tricking them, bribing them, into making us pay for it. Ruining the air and with noise pollution, so that you can hawk all of this like horrible shit nobody fucking wants. It's disgusting. It's absolutely AI's the way of the future. Only because you're destroying the current future. I heard somebody tell me that AI's here to stay, so you might as well use it. Cancer's here to stay too. I mean, we've been researching how to cure cancer for like 150 years and we haven't really done any progress. Cancer's not cured. I mean, think about it. We've been trying to cure cancer for decades, and all we're really doing is paying millions of dollars to the people who run a charity. Different conversation. It's like, well, it's it's here to stay. So is global warming. Does that mean I have to be happy about it and start burning trash? And also, fuck you, for the whole you should keep your house at 75 degrees so that rich people can have it at 68. If anybody truly cared about global warming, they wouldn't be letting AI's data centers be built. And private jets would be illegal. I swear to god, as soon as that Frenchman said that American AC was destroy was killing French people, I turned my AC down a little bit. Fuck you. I just and see this is part of what me not being on my phone was supposed to help me get away from. Bug. It's a car coming up behind us. This is why we walk on the left so that the oncoming traffic You're okay. We walk on the left so that the oncoming traffic is in front of us, not behind us. I've never understood walking on the right side of the road so that you can't see the car is most likely to hit you. But this is part of why I was trying not to be on my phone so much. It's because the world sucks. It's trying to eat itself, and I know the world has always been falling apart. But we haven't it it I don't in my lifetime at least, there's never been this many parts of humanity all trying to kill itself at the same time. And the helplessness that you feel. Some of it, yes, some of it is to train their AI so to steal so that uh it can keep vomiting out. That's another thing, and this is what I told another uh author last night. I said like it's my the image is mine. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's it's a turd. They fed the AI real artists who put effort and work into their art. They fed the AI that artwork, it digested that content, and then when you ask for artwork, it shit out other people's stuff into a turd. Then don't judge a book by its cover. I will. You see a cover and you go, oh pretty. I see your AI cover and go, oh, a loser who didn't really write the book. But it's it's just the the impotence that you feel or I feel because they are destroying some antique and old rare books that will be gone. And then whatever administration is in power can say, no, that didn't really happen. Can you prove it? Didn't really happen. Prove it. And the only source of that information for a lot of this stuff will be the A the AI version that they can change at a whim. And you know, anybody who grew up on AI, on not AI, on YA books, you know, we all wanted to be the hero, the oh, I'm gonna fight the system. And that may very well happen. That absolutely could happen. Oh, sounds like we got a bus coming. Oh, big truck. It's okay. It's okay. They're gonna pass oh they're gonna pass us. It's okay. Oh jeez, that's hole. He saw the dog get scared and did that on purpose. Buddy. No B, you gotta chill, buddy. It's okay. Maybe that'll happen. Maybe there will be a generation that decides that they want to learn for real instead of being a bunch of mouth-breathing retards. The unfortunate thing is I think that's two or three away. This is the generation that is going to watch our tech overlords burn the world down. Fahrenheit 451 style. Then we will die. We will die the old people. Complaining that everyone's dumber. Except we'll be right, you know? Because we every every old generation complains about the new. This might be the first time that we're right. Like they say millennials are the first generation that are gonna like objectively have it worse than their parents. And that late millennial, early Gen Z, exennial generation, no, uh zillennial generation. Which I believe is what I count as. I don't know. I'm either it kind of depends. Most things have me as the very first year of Gen Z. One or two had me as the last year of millennial, and I think that's where the whole microgen came from. But ultimately, we are going to watch billionaires burn the world down. And hopefully they starve too when they realize that if you take everyone's jobs away and make everyone stupid, they can't give you any of their money when they don't have any. And then Alpha and Beta. And maybe the gen after that, Gen C or whatever. By the way, can you all come up with some better names? We had Gen X, Boomers, Millennials. And then now we just got Z A B. It's fucking dumb. But Alpha, Beta, and probably the one after that are just gonna live in the system while old people bitch on Facebook. I'll be back. I am now walking barns. I looked for headphones, but I decided that it one podcast is not worth risking my nice studio headphones. You done being an ass? We uh I don't know. I wasn't trying to turn this into some rant. I mean I don't regret anything I've said so far, especially about you losers who pretend you wrote a book with AI. I saw one person who was like, check your abilism. Okay, if you are able to use AI, you're able to write a book. Okay. It's it's as simple as that. If you don't have fucking fingers, you can dictate. Some of the most popular artists of all or writers of all time fucking dictated the work. And hell, you don't even need a chick with a typewriter these days. All you need is uh one of those programs that you put a m uh you have a microphone and uh you say things. I can't afford art Yeah again, you're just lazy anyway. It's just this whole I don't know, I just it just it comes at you from all sides all the fucking time. I'm gonna pause for a second it just it comes at you from all sides every day. And you just you can't there's nothing to be done about it for most people. Like I mean I applaud you people fighting the AI data centers. But it's like that I think it was was it Port Washington? I don't know, there was one town in Wisconsin that they protested, but their politicians had already been bribed. So they're like, nothing we can do. You know, I don't have a billion dollars to spend buying every secondhand book in the country to prevent these AI pieces of shit. I mean, they've successfully blocked, I think it was in Ohio, an a a data center being built. And now the data center's suing for 300 million because it violates free speech. It doesn't violate any free speech. You know, you've got the current Islam takeover in England. And Texas. And you've got I saw a video for it was on Mr. Beat. Beat, not beast. And talking about how socialism is a meaningless term. It's not. It's a proven fucked up system that they're still trying to do because it is it's reshelved or it it's reskin to communism where the one party controls everything. Like they they accuse Trump of being a dictator. Meanwhile, they are trying to vote in politicians who want to abolish the Senate and control speech. Pretty dictatorial, if you ask me. It's driving me fucking crazy. And aside from reenacting Citizen Vigilante, which I don't have the money or the fucking resources to do, even if I wanted to. And I think that's why younger people feel hopeless, because it is hopeless. You know, all the people with money and power are burning the world down. And and we just have to watch, you know? At least that's how it feels. I applaud the people who are fighting, but I'm just tired of being alive, you know what I mean? It just stupid people run the world. Cowards run the world. And just for the record, if you think that your politician that you like is your friend, or is in any way going to make the country a better place, you're a fucking retard. There are two sides, okay? There are people and there are politicians. Unless you're running for office, you're not on the side of the politicians, and they're not on your side. I just I really don't want to be part of the generation that has to watch the world burn. Unfortunately, though I am, you know, it's gonna be illegal not to have AI in your fucking car. And because 120 years ago, we designed America, oil companies bought politicians and trains and designed America to need cars. You know, but then the government will at the same time say, oopsie date, oopsie doozy, our bad. We didn't know. You know, we were told through various reports and things that the technology doesn't work, but we're we didn't know that uh the AI camera would shut off your car if you were stressed. Like 'cause there was a tornado or a hurricane or a natural disaster you were fleeing. So we're anyway, we're sorry your kid died, but then nothing to be done. And just oh I mean the thought of those companies destroying books to contribute to the inchidification of everything. violently angry. Except there's nobody to kill. Because it's all of them. It's all of the companies. And much like the Hydra, you could slaughter the every CEO around, and they'd just be replaced with somebody, either equally bad or worse. At least when it comes to like the Islamic takeover of America, at least we have a solution to that. The only I mean, the only reason that anyone is allowing this shit right now, other than like the politicians that are currently being bribed. The only reason that they're allowing that is because Americans are still afraid of jail. We still have something to lose. God help the world of the crazy rednecks and Florida men and all the other varieties of lunatic that live in this country. God help the fucking world if you take away what they have to lose. But seriously though, I don't like come for my dog, and you're gonna meet whatever god you believe in. These dogs are the only reason I have stayed sane or alive. And I you know, most people would be like, are you really gonna put that out there? Yeah, I I have told that to people's face. If you hurt my dog, I will fucking kill you. It's like that episode of Yellowstone that will never not make me mad. Where it's the president's coming to visit, so they're killing everyone's dog that's outside. Okay, let I will concede that if the president is in Iraq, that makes sense. Because but it it was an impromptu visit to an Indian reservation in Montana. You think somebody at the Indian reservation just has a bomb prepared in case the the the fucking president stops by to this random shitty reservation? Because they spent five seasons telling us that the reservation's not a great place to live. So you you you just think that they have like a a cabinet full of bombs to send on their dog? It's fucking dumb. It was for shock value and nothing more. My god is Taylor Sherrod a bad writer. Holy shit. He sucks. Come on. I watched Dunton Ranch and you can see that there was a better show in the bones. But he's just he's he's awful. And I know I'm I did a whole podcast about this and couldn't go find it. Um the yellow stone timeline cannot make sense. John Dutton, the third Kevin Cost, is talking. Come on, buddy. Carter. Yeah, it was harder. About how in eighteen eighty-nine the army came to try to kill the buffalo. Look in here, orange, come back to me. About how in eighteen eighty-nine uh the army came to try to kill the buffalo, and it's like my great-grandfather and my grandfather uh pushed him into the valley so that they'd be unlied, so they'd be protected. Hello. Joni just pulled up on her on her way home, and Barnes got on her. He stood up to get to the window and kiss her. Holy shit, he's tall. Um But in 1889, Spencer would have been a little baby, like or a little kid. Because he is not alive in 1883. So even if he was born the following year, he would have been what, five years old? So i they were clearly implying that it was John Dutton I. Except it can't be him because he dies in 1923, and Dabney Coleman hasn't been born yet. It can't be Jack, because in 1889 he wasn't fucking alive because his dad was like 13. Or ten, I think. I think John Dutton first is five in eighteen eighty-three. Don't hold me to that. He's a child though. He's a kid. So John Dutton's granddaddy cannot be alive in eighteen eighty-nine. Or I mean. But John Dunn I dies in nineteen twenty-three, and then his kid doesn't have a kid. That's why Spencer ends up in charge. There are other things that I address in uh that podcast, like um getting out of breath. I walked almost one point four miles today. Come on, dude. I've already forgot what I was gonna say. I'm just tired of the world. I mean, what was I gonna say? Oh, John is supposedly a fifth generation rancher making KC six and Tate seven. Come on. But he can't be. Because you've got Tim McGraw as James Dutton. He's number one. Founder the Yellowstone after his kid died there. And then you've got Spencer, who in all likelihood is the only one who could be his his daddy, his grandpapa. I mean, there there are problems with that part of the timeline too, like how Spencer would be in his 80s when he went riding with John up and down a mountain. But anyway, and also there's another part of the family that supposedly exists from Spencer's bastard child. Um, but then after Spencer, you have John Dunton 2, Dabney Coleman. That's generation three. And then you have Kevin Coss that has four, Casey's five, Tate is six. So there's either a missing generation, and everybody swears it has to be Jack, but the god-awful ending of 1923 established that it can't be Jack. I'm pretty sure he dies. I don't remember. Honestly, I didn't watch it, I just read about it because after I found out what happened to Alex, I was like, fuck you in the show. So it's it's it's impossible. And I've only watched Dutton Ranch. Barnes, back to me! Barnes, back to me. Good boy. I've only watched Dutton Ranch once, so it's more difficult to get into why the parts of that show that don't make any damn sense like you know, Beth's a multimillionaire who bought what I estimate to be a ranch that cost at least 15 million dollars. They didn't have insurance. Why did they move to Texas? Alright, I'm out of breath. Um I oh shit, is that no, it's not a cop. I tried to use those headphones that I got to see if you could hear the noise that my car is making. I need tires, but I'm poor, so I have to buy tires one at a time. I'm also trying doing my best to make it look like I'm talking to my hand so that I don't get busted by one of those AI fuckery cameras. Um my little my little cell phone challenge has gone a bit off the rails. Um I did really great Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Um now, if you were to actually look at my phone, it would say uh otherwise, because you know the challenge was either to be not on my phone or on my phone as little as possible. Um and I got a I got a fair bit of reading done. I got other I got some DD stuff painted. Uh I haven't officially started the next novel yet. Which I'll get to part of why that is in a minute. Shit. Sorry, I had something in my eye. But Thursday. I was uh carrying water to the garden. We've got this okay, we've got a uh furnace air conditioning unit and everything, and it drips water. And we don't want it going into the sub pump anymore because then it fills up uh uh the septic fills up quicker and you know all that jazz. So I rigged up a few bottles. Um and they go to different sides of the unit depending on the year so that they get ever all the water. But right now there are three on the air conditioner, and ever since I I had one bottle sitting up on a tote, but the tote broke. So now it doesn't feed back through into the third bottle perfectly. Um the fuck I miss I lost my train of thought again. Um I should be the name of this podcast. I lost my train of thought with with Toby. But I w uh I've also I buried a hose with holes in it in in my sister's garden, and it's hooked up to a barrel that's elevated so that when I put the the otherwise useless water, because apparently air conditioning water, because of all of the gunk that builds up on the inside of the air conditioning pipes, that you can't like you can't get in there and disinfect a copper pipe or whatever is in there. The same reason dehumidifier water is bad. You can't wash anything with it, you can't feed it to animals, so it it you can't drink it. But it's great for plants. It is fantastic for the plants. So I put it in the in the barrel, and it drips down, waters the garden, but it waters the garden underneath the soil so that it doesn't boil because this is something Joni taught me. You water your garden with as hot as it's been, you water your garden with the sun on it and everything, you will boil the leaves off your plants. Um, but I was hauling water, and we had about 15 gallons come out because of how hot it was the other day. And I tweaked something in my back worse than I have in a long time. Okay. I am I'm not my dad, like I don't live with the level of pain he does, but I you know, I'm not to toot my own horn, but I live in a level of constant pain that most people would not be able to get uh you know, would not be able to get up off the chair with. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm not- I'm not claiming to be Batman or anything, but if you suffer from a chronic pain of some kind, you know that you know what I'm talking about. Normal people don't get it. Um but I tweaked my back in a way that I only do three or four times a yeah, and because of how bad my brain is, my brain ain't right. It's fun, but it ain't right. Well, because of how my brain is, I usually forget my coping mechanisms to deal with the extreme back pain, so it's almost like it's a surprise every time. It's the same reason that this past winter when it was really cold and I had to lift dog food, I didn't I came upstairs, then went backstairs to get dog food into the freezing basement, and it and then came back up, and my lungs were struggling. And despite the fact that I have had asthma for almost 30 years at this point, my mom had to be like, Yeah, that was an asthma attack. I'm like, really? Because it had been so long that I'd had a genuine asthma issue. I thought I had like pulled a muscle or something, or it was just the temperature. My brain didn't connect with the fact that it was a small asthma attack, because it's probably been 10 or 15 years since I had that kind of asthma attack. And that's one of the things that people a lot of people don't understand about you know learning to live with some sort of medical condition is you adapt so well that when it and you get into such a rhythm of dealing with it that when it spikes, you can be surprised too. You know, it'd be like if you're it if you're missing a toe or some or missing part of your foot, you get really good at balancing on the other part, and then every so often, you know, something somebody moves or trips, and you uh go to put weight on the part of your foot that's missing, and you fall down, and you're like, oh shit, I forgot about that. But I could my back would like clench up and spasm, and um I could barely walk, I could not bend in certain directions, and it was pretty much worse on Friday. I spent uh almost all of Friday on my back in one way or another. Um so I had my phone with me because you know if somebody needed me, there was very little chance I was gonna be able to get it. I answered the house phone once. Um and then I was like, fuck it, if it is if it's not important, you know. If they're dying, I can't help them right now. So it went off the rails from there. Um I'm trying to do a challenge, which is probably gonna start tomorrow, where I write another novel in a month. The last one I did in 2024, and it kinda sorta worked. I think the current version of that book is 66,000 words and change. And I'd say I wrote 43,000 of them in August of 24. Maybe 50. I don't know. Um Um, the rest I had tinkered with in September slash October. I don't remember exactly. And then I fucked with it a little bit in January, February of 25, and then set it down. Joni is currently reading it and helping me uh figure out where it sucks. That book is about time travel, and I needed somebody like Joni who is brilliant and good with time travel. Um she understood time bound. I it confused me. Um so I I gave her a pen and I'm like She was trying to be nice about it at first. She's like, I put post-it notes, but they can't fall it out. I'm like, just just write in it, it's fine. I have a feeling the whole thing's gonna need a rewrite anyway, so it shouldn't. So now she's just scribbling it up like, this doesn't make sense. This is dumb. You should do this. Thank you. Um and another big part of it of that particular story that is gonna have to be changed is I I it was the first time I had ever done a challenge like that and try to write 50,000 words in a month. So if ever if ever I got blocked on something, I would either have it be a fight or sex. Um so at you know, a big part of what I'm gonna have to do when I go go back through it is either tone down or get rid of certain sex scenes. I mean, because there's one in the manuscript that I took the time to put in in parentheses. This scene is really weird and unnecessary. So I'm gonna go back and probably take that one out or tone it down. But because it was just a way to get through everything, you know. It was just like f and then they started fucking. And get and uh but then I mean murder was or fighting was fur, you know, there were fewer of those, but there were still scenes that would be like, and then he got in a fight. Snap, stab! Um, so it's got good bones, but it's probably gonna it's probably gonna take some work. That's probably what the back half of this year is gonna be. I I know we're eight months in, but I mean like probably October. Well, depending on when Jonah gets it done. Um probably the last part of this year we'll be working on that. Um I know I did a little addendum or a little update to start this podcast thing. Um but I'm probably I recorded that I think Tuesday or something. Another part of why I think my muscles, my back fucked up worse than normal is I had walked by Thursday, I had walked si a little over six miles with the dogs. Um So Friday, Saturday, Sunday, no walks. Today is Sunday. D today there were no walks. Like I felt like I could walk yesterday, but uh their mom was like, uh save you're back for work. And then today I just I left the house too damn early for that. But um Buddum bottom bottom but um badum badum I forgot what I was gonna say. Uh but I I think I'm gonna have to quit Facebook before I put a bullet in my head. Cause even the company page, I just get keep getting stories that m make me want to kill myself. You know, I mean I support the AI witch hunt because I mean I've made it pretty clear on Facebook and this podcast. If you use AI for any part of your writing process, you're not a fucking writer. I don't just You are not creative. I use it as a sounding board. Make a fucking friend. Make a fucking friend. You don't have a mom, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a new one, one of the new flavors of human that they have. You don't know a single person that you can have read the book and say, hey this sucks. Hey this is great, hey, somewhere in between. It's almost always somewhere in between. I use AI to get ideas, then you're not a fucking writer. You're a thief. I I mean I had somebody on Facebook claim that they're I was like, I'm more creative than most people. I said, You use AI to do shit. You're about as creative as a fully digested piece of bread. I told somebody else who was like, I use AI in my writing process. I'm like, oh cool. Oh cool. You're not creative or a writer, but good job making, you know, managing to to convince people to buy your bullshit. And somebody told me you don't get to decide how people enjoy themselves and be creative. And I will I said I I I uh I replied and I said No, I don't. Um but using AI is not creativity, it's a rebranded theft. Um I said, I if it brings you joy, that's pathetic, but I it's not illegal. I said, but it's not creative. Using AI to make a book and then claiming you wrote it is about as creative as you going to three or four different restaurants for to eat, then you come home, take a shit, show someone your plate with a shit on it, and claim that you made a meal. That that's pretty much exactly what it was. They took real artists' work and continue to steal real artists' work and not pay them, and then they pump it into a machine, and then you give the machine a prompt, and the machine shits back out something that they uh you know is supposedly a book. So I fully support causing failure uh to anyone who does that. The downside to that is uh some real, genuine, hardworking artists are getting caught up in it. You know, and and when it comes to a witch hunt, nobody feels bad about burning a witch, but should feel bad if an innocent person gets gets burnt in the process. But you know, I'm trying to get a publishing company to the point where I can publish other people's work. I don't want to publish your nasty AI bullshit. But I you know, i I just don't know how to prevent it. Because you know that there is some piece of shit on the internet who will just keep stealing other people's work until he gets an AI that's good enough to to fool people. And that that that doesn't change my opinion. Just because you can con you know i i'm sorry, I'm getting a little worked up. I'm also gonna have to stop because I'm actually coming into Oshkosh then.

Just because you can fool people doesn't make it art. You know? People were fooled by forgeries of paintings before. That doesn't mean you really painted the Mona Lisa. I mean, I have the other issue is just distribution, because trying to keep books affordable means that there's pretty much no way that they'll ever be in a bookstore because the bookstore wouldn't make money, and only an idiot would carry a product that wouldn't make money. So, I've just kind of been in a little bit of a depressive slump about the whole thing. Alright, I gotta go. Uh I will may talk more about this after work, but I definitely don't want to get caught with a holding a recorder while I drive through town. Goodbye.
