    I am so desperate for someone engaging to talk to after 10 years of disability that I started building an AI character for the task; only to get writers block over building complexity I might find interesting in someone else. Then I had the bright idea, that y’all would have better ideas than me.

    I can’t recall the last real conversation I had that I found engaging. I’m usually in too much pain to be self aware and conversational unless I’m laying down. I haven’t tried that line yet. “Come lay with me to get comfortable?” …creeeeppyyy.

    This is in line with the biggest surprise I have found while exploring offline AI: I didn’t know how much my methods of researching information impacts social skills. I now have AI that I can question in plain text, and now I’m seeing all these new hints about my own social “decline” for a lack of a better word. I’m so familiar with the process of piecing together broken bits of information from several sources, that a more fluent and linear line of thought is almost foreign. Like this, right now. Why would I rather monologue instead of engaging with a real person, and why does this seem to be the norm? Maybe it is just me

        So what are you into now? If it is still photography, once upon a time, around 8 years ago I built a makeshift low-light photo studio for a next level eBay attempt at selling high end bike stuff. I did that for a couple of years. Now I’m playing with programming AI, -which is way over my head but super interesting IMO. I also just got back into really cooking a few months ago, and tried my first slow BBQ yesterday 3pm till 1am. Pick your interesting, or monologue away and I will ;)
