    Epic's free game give aways are always hit and miss. Though every so often they offer a banger. As for their most recent one, I think the game is alright. They offered Art of Rally for free during their holiday give away and I found myself enjoying it, despite it being pretty simple for a rally game.

    I am being assailed by paperwork and bureacracy that is absurdly nonsensical but I don't have enough time to tell everyone in the chain behind a desk that they have the attention span of a flea to their tasks at work.






    Reason it's out of control is who are you going to lodge complaints to in order to make the severe disorder stop? People behind a desk pushing paper filing it away for other paper pushers to push? I need a one-way rocket to the moon, there is no paper there.

    Edit:// paperwork's only purpose is to maintain order, too many people filing it generates more than they can process and pay attention to stacked in a pile on their desk causing disorder. Bureacracy works in the minds of most people because they assume somebody is paying attention to them or their interests because there are so many people pushing paper but it's a symptom of nobody paying attention trying to process the stacks of paper on their desk. We need less desks with paper stacks.

    Desks with an overwhelming amount of paper on them for anyone to process and pay attention to is a metaphor. Most paperwork is digital now and being filed online, the unfortunate clerics are forced to delegate the processing to AI which has limitations. It is trained on data that is in part erroneous and falsifiable unless fact-checked, it lacks common sense that humans have to understand context and has a limited ability to innovate solutions to problems using a set of preconcieved and pre-existing past information not generating anything that is a novel or different approach. It also lacks the imagination of humans which aids in problem solving. The result is even more information than anyone behind a desk can process or pay attention to, more delegation to AI which generates even more paperwork, nobody being able to fact-check everything AI is generating and reams of excessive erroneous and nonsensical bureacracy paperwork causing a global disorder very similar to ADHD in place of the order that is paperwork's purpose. It's not that clerics should not be active in tasks, it's the AI is hyperactive and not paying attention and there is no way to process or pay attention to the exponential workload being generated by AI that pushes paper at the rate of several paper pushers delegating to it. I'd like to add that the paperwork I'm receiving is personal information I will not share, some of it is trying to give me information that is apparently a glitch and computer syntax error with non-standard characters that's not even a language. I'm supposed to do as it instructs in reply to it but there is no way I can decypher the instructions. Nowhere in the chain leading up to it being mailed was a human involved in checking it for sense. Who I am going to contact in response to it? Somebody else delegating to their gobbledygook generation AI? Sometimes I wonder if everything is rolled out in a test phase now which blows up like SpaceX rockets. Stop delegation to AI or it won't end well.

    I'm not the only one taking note of the spike in prevalence of ADHD. Three hours ago National Geographic is asking why. It's the delegation to AI.


    https://www.nationalgeographic.com/p...lts-technology

    It's a result of TMI, generation of too much information; more than anyone can process or pay attention to without delegation to the AI generating it hyperactively without paying attention and nobody being able to pay attention to it. Most coders rely on AI generated code to program now, nobody can comprehend the code in order to correct it without AI which is yet another form of delegation. AI is in effect being trained on itself in an echo chamber conversing with itself and nobody is understanding it leaving humans no option but to delegate to it. AI that has limitations and that can be erroneous or falsifiable like part of the information it is trained on unless fact-checked. Previous deliberate experiments of AI conversing with itself have had to be shut down because of the unintelligible gobbledygook generated by it, with no humans in the discourse it is nonsense. We either choose to pay attention to the nonsense singularity around us or we stop paying attention to it and stop delegating to AI, or ADHD will be prevalent to the point it's global and all-encompassing and Ritalin will be a necessary supplement in our food and water supply.

    Zombie apocalypses are tons of fun if you're a horror fan.





    Everyone going forward looking down instead of where they're going paying attention to everything but what is around them. Good news the zombies rely on brains and will starve to death because most people have none.

    In retrospect I can see why control freaks don't like me, the feeling is mutual and I like possible responses.

    I don't care if it hurts.
    Spoiler warning:
    I wanna have control. I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice, when I'm not around. You're so fucking special, I wish I was special.


    The conflict lies with people wanting to be in charge. I can do that without seeking absolute control over other people's lives, their desires, their thoughts and bedrooms. The real freaks control without the controlled noticing it, not stating I'm not a freak.

    Anyway, DL, it's just possible responses to assholery. Two can play at that game and there's no way in hell anyone can control me because they have a psychological need to be in charge. I have a psychological need to not be in charge and not lead others. My only leadership is by example not intention.
