I stopped gaming, watch almost no TV and it's been like this for about a year. It just kind of happened. I've learned python and am getting the hang of bash, I've actually been making progress on my hip hopera about casual every day political extremism, I've redecorated my house using generative ai (in fact it's what's actually allowed me to work on my hip hopera because I do not sound great tapping even if I've got rhymes for days), repainted most of my home, refinished my bath tub, made an 8 foot tall demon statue out of cement that, while terrifying at first, I've come to feel quite a bit of fondness for. Also built my girlfriend a life sized turtle statue for her birthday, created a short comic book and action figure for a superhero alter ego for same girlfriend for Christmas , learned how to use a whole host of generative ai technologies, wrote a 60 page Star Trek the next generation erotic fan fiction which I've begun recording using audio AI models I've trained of the Enterprise crew for maximum effect (I'm ashamed this exists honestly but I'll be damned if I let an abomination go to waste), replaced the faces and voices of every character in the empire strikes back with my face and voice and distributed to my friends, so many things.

It's weird to look back on this last year and a) see all the things I've done and b) realize that there's so many years where I did literally nothing
