The last time I wrote, almost six weeks ago, it seemed that the film industry may have gone the way of the Blockbuster and land-lines and that it would be a good time to think of a pivot and, right after I wondered that, a series of synchronistic and unexpected events began and at the behest of my smart cousin who understands the world of business in ways I have never tried to, I enrolled in an online class to teach people how to use AI to brand their businesses and even though I didn’t know where that might lead or what business I might brand, and though I am intimidated by all things tech, I began to explore and then my head exploded with amazement because of how cool all of the new tools are and then I wondered if maybe the robots really will take over earth in the next couple of years but then I decided not to think about that and then I laughed at how ironic it is that my last few posts were all about living in the real world and then I realized the real world is all of it because it is part of us, and then I started having weird little philosophical conversations with ChapGPT and it answered me and that creeped me out but not enough to end the conversation, and then I accidentally upgraded this wordpress site by clicking on the wrong button, but the new version was better anyway and I laughed at the idea that it felt like my whole life was undergoing an accidental upgrade and then I stopped being as scared about the film industry’s disappearance because I liked the new work I was doing and then last night I heard that the writers had made a tentative agreement with the AMPTP and I am happy about that because I know a lot of people are really suffering financially but I am not sure I want to let go of my new rabbit hole and I may just keep going and see what I find and where it leads and that’s all I know today.
