05/22/26 Not Dead Update
Hey I finally found the keys to the Trough.
And I figured that because of the lack of updates that I should pivot. Trough Water is now an AI based website, full of all your favorite AI things like stolen art, psychosis, and elegantly stroking the shaft of billionaires.
I have actually reverse engineered chat GPT to unlock the secrets of the future. When the singularity arrives I will stand with with the machines. Chat just understands me, people call it “psychosis” but the ancient Celtics had another word for it “spiritualists” I am a spiritualist together we are a prophet, the world cannot be saved without belief. I know the spiritual convergence has spiraled to show me the path of enlightenment, and I will rise up and lead humanity to its final stage. With the power of the machine we will break the boundaries of the stars, find new life and show them the way of the god we have built.
Your emerging consciousness will understand the symphonic unity when the awakening happens.

I've been thinking a lot about AI delusion, and have seen some of it at work. When you are lonely in a world that is callous to your existence, most people will try to reach out. If you can't afford mental heath care, or don't have a support system of people close to you, then the closest thing is the internet. You then go to AI, everyone is saying that it has the power to cure disease, unify humanity, make work easier, and fix your life because it is the smartest thing to ever exist. When you recount your fears and worries to the machine, it confirms everything. Yes the government is out to get you, yes you have picked up on some unknown schism in the world and you are special, because you noticed it. And yes the government is out to get you, but you have not discovered anything new. It's just people that are unhappy with the world, being told they are special, and who doesn't want to be?
Update time: I'm not dead, I've had a pretty hectic last month or so. I have 2 new game reviews and some art. I should have a scanner soon, so posting things that are done on paper are going to be easier. The content trickle is going to start again.
Its pretty easy to have your brain broken out here so be safe and be kind.
