Daily Create Roundup: Week 4

Here are my daily creates for week 4!

I couldn’t think of any message for the world to put on my plane banner, so I decided to advertise the class instead.

The next create was to write a three line poem about lemons without using the following words: lemon, yellow, round, fruit, citrus, tart, juicy, peel, and sour.

Sunshine buddies on a twig
Can’t resist the urge of it
Bite in and it just might sting

Added a little rhyme to it and I was pretty proud of it!

Finally I shared a secret hideout, this one was from the SMT series games.

Looks eerie, the space saucer circular thingies resemble a space station, so I hypothesized that they’re a portal to somewhere in space.

Daily Create Roundup: Week 3

My daily creates for week 3!

Kittens reacting to being filmed by another cat with a camera in black and white

Google color experiment, recoloring of a very famous Hokusai painting

I chose the wanderer above the sea of fog to describe the word “mystique”.

Technology for the Future – The Techno-Optimist Manifesto Reflections

Future technology: 22 ideas about to change our world - BBC Science Focus  Magazine

In my film review last week of WALL-E, I felt as though the tone of the movie was critical yet hopeful. All of humankind defaulted to living in a spaceship, running away from the collective damage dealt to the planet’s ecosystem, and setting for a sedentary existence where AI takes over all aspects of life for them. Only in the end after AI intervention was mankind prompted to give their own planet another shot. In this article, Andreessen argues in favor of technological advancements, and emphasizes how the positive aspects of technology outweighs the negatives. It argues against pessimism and preaches how human progress, economic growth, and the improvement of living stands will all manifest from the development of technology.

Quite a different take from what I had last week based on WALL-E, but I’m honestly not surprised. As more and more developments are made, specifically to AI, the excitement for these technologies grows bigger and bigger on a global scale. People from all across the world are waiting to see the development of the next big AI feature, hoping that this is something that will make their lives easier. However, I still believe that humanity will have a hard time grasping these technologies at a fundamental level, and the collective hivemind of humankind will not be able to handle such growth, and more importantly, such efficiency. As animals who are always trying to figure out a shortcut for our tasks, just like how the humans in WALL-E lived, I believe that we will most likely get to that point as well.

Although, who am I to say that this will be a horrible life? Maybe cruising around on decked out spaceships and having every little task done for us will create a new genesis for human enlightenment and allow us to reach new heights in different ways we can’t foresee at the moment.|

I asked Dr. Oblivion about my hot take to see if he agrees that humans won’t be able to handle AI in the future.
Here’s what he had to say:

I feel a bit validated, but at the same time as a human, I kind of wish he said something positive. Maybe this is the difference between a human persona and that of an AI? Empathy.

Daily Create Roundup: Week 2

Here are my daily creates for the week!

This create was a fun way to identify my hometown on a map and see which three random words I get based on the squares on the map. “Kick, Fuzzy, Pirate” instantly made me think of a pirate kicking a fuzzy animal, and that first animal was a fluffy bunny.

For day 2, the prompt was to take a picture of my ceiling. Above me there is a cheap Walmart lamp that I’ve been using for almost a decade, with my monitor hanging above due to how close the screen is to me. Above that I have my favorite frame hanging, it’s a dachshund with the caption “Long day?”. It makes my day every time.

This one was difficult for me. I had to figure out a software to make a Voynich manuscript, and I ended up choosing the most accessible online drawing tool I could find. I think I’ll try to find another way to create drawings in the future.

Below the vast the sea of clouds
There lies an ominous smoke of grey
It may look like rain to some
but to me it looks to the end of some

Today
I
Went to
The first class
of the year because
It snowed a lot and the school decided
To not cancel on Wednesday or Friday what a shame

There were two poem creation creates this week, one of them being to watch the weather in California and writing a poem based on that, and the other being a Fibonacci sequence poem, following an arithmetic sequence.

This last create is probably my favorite of the week. The phrase “Go out and touch grass” is a gamer term that is often used to ridicule others for spending too much time indoors. It’s a playful insult but I thought it would be funny to turn this phrase into my own interpretation of this create for exiting the internet.
