I don’t really have much to say.

This project feels categorically different than the digital collage. AI is tool, yes, but in all the prompting there is something lost in the creativity. It’s kind of like throwing stuff in a pot and shaking it and seeing what you get; or in some ways, kind of like gambling where I set some parameters and pull a lever.

this is much rawer. there’s no outsourcing. there’s no pot shaking. there’s no lever pulling. just brain and finger and keyboard. a sandbox in some ways.

I had many things that I thought today. that’s also a strange part of this. with some many things thought, how do I pick which ones to record? I haven’t found a good way. today I settled on some stuff about meditation.

for me, it’s about expanding awareness. its cliche, but I like to close my eyes and breathe. in doing so, I find pieces of my internal space — both physically, as I breathe, and psychologically, as I breathe — that are not filled. space in systems needs to be filled! no dead space! think about your body and how if you have space with no circulation, it starts to shrivel and die. your sense of presence is no different.

tbh if someone says meditation doesn’t work for them, they’re simply doing it wrong.

yesterday I wrote about pasta and meat sauce. today’s dinner is breakfast: a croissant, cheese eggs, and bacon.

we’ll see how we feel tomorrow.
