i love it when grand slams are happening. i love checking the scorelines throughout the day, i love seeing the achievments of different countries and their players, i love seeing all the random celebrities in the crowd, i love having a match playing on every screen, i love seeing what everyone is wearing, i love the upsets, i love the fan favorites, i love tennis

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

« Tennis is a complicated world: we travel ten months a year, we lose more than we win, it's a life that can drive you crazy. Personally, I consider myself normal: I have fun, I feel like I'm on eternal vacation. I always try to tell myself that everything is beautiful, because it is. I'm a lucky guy. »
