That’s all life is.

A fantasy that sometimes we refuse to believe.

Smoke and mirrors, as the old magicians say.

We are completely diluted if we believe in anything. Religion, politics, and nowadays with the advent of Artificial Intelligence, photographs, video, and text.

Take for example the image above. This person doesn’t exist. She was completely generated using AI (through the use of Midjourney) and it looks so real it’s scary!

That is the reason, a lot of people are currently really scared. Scared for their jobs, scared of where this could go from here.

Imagine these are the results we are getting right now with the resources we have. Imagine what will happen when we crack the possibilities of quantum computing.

That song says: “The future is so bright, you have to wear shades…”

I’ll be here, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the Roboapocalypse to happen.
