It's really annoying.  And I can already read the comments made by self-conscious people who feel I'm calling them out: "Oh, you’re just saying this because you’re short.” No, no, I'm saying it because your parrots sound ridiculous.  It's the opposite of cute when you've heard the same exact quotes a million times before.  Like the dudes who fall for that cringe mess are themselves dudes who think a height differential between themselves and some girl makes them seem more interesting or manly or cool.  It's pathetically insecure.  But then again, maybe it's a match made in heaven.  Two boring individuals get together and help denoise the dating pool for me.  If a girl I was into said “I’m so short" as some type of attention-seeking quote more than 2 times, I’m dropping her.  Simple as that.

Future Jabari here.  Yes, that one supervisor consistently was like that.  At some point, she was luckily moved to a different belt, and for the most part, it was so chill.  I still didn't like doing the ups work, but I had a much better time.  Then, those few times they moved me to different belts, and she was the supervisor that was on that belt, annoyances crept up once again.  So, personally, my theory is the typical thing where when someone is new to a team or company or group, some people hide their true self until a certain point where they can't hide it anymore, and then boom, you see the real them.  For this supervisor, it was that they were seemingly helpful in the beginning.  Being a nitpicker and back-seat driver made sense during early periods when I first joined since I didn't know much, so I didn't see how annoying they were.  It was only when I actually got a handle of things that the nitpicks and micromanaging got intolerable.

Many things to talk about. Surprisingly I was able to do all of them in the exact amount of time I estimated. Crazy. Im getting better and better at rambling. And minor spoiler....but the update is interesting to listen to as a future me.... It'll probably be even more interesting to listen to when it is scheduled for release...

It's an obvious observation but still seems so crazy that it's a thing.  Like, for example, someone who will likely be a murderer might unintentionally and unconsciously dress like one.  Or say undercover cops, for people who can point them out in a crowd, they literally dress...exactly like an undercover cop would.  Like it’s unconscious groupism.  And apparently it's quite hard to break because seemingly everyone does it.  Yes, even you.  The only way to break it would be to be a part of so many subgroups at once that you morph into a truly unique individual, but even then….you’d end up dressing or acting like that new subgroup you created and any other person who ends up having a similar idea would model after the newly formed subgroup and then make it easier for people to point them out in a crowd potentially.  Crazy to think about.

Some people really shouldn't be in supervisory positions.  TBH, many supervisory positions in general shouldn't even exist.  UPS preloading is a perfect example of it.  I don't know what they actually do other than walk around and chat and then occasionally scan or talk on the radio.  Like some supervisors actually help when things get bad, but that's rare and not many.  So it ends up they get paid to just do nothing.  It's a waste of a position.   And worse, the ones who let that supervisory title get to their head, if anything, make the efficiency even WORSE.



Like it'll always be interesting to me how some supervisors can have the nerve to ask why or accuse someone when they are running behind... as if if they did it they wouldn't do the same exact thing.  Like it's a strange poison to the mind of many who end up in management or supervisory positions. Power gets to people’s heads.  It's proof that as evil as many rich people are, if the average person got that rich, they'd do the same exact evil bs. Their morals mean nothing.  The only reason some of these people have "morals" is more of an envy thing.  They don't actually believe in it.  

So yes, soon ai will have a soul. Very soon actually. At least if I finish my project it for sure will. Cause it would be one of the next things I work on in a way. But that's for the future. By the time I talk about anything close to that in podcast form it might be 2030 due to how this schedule is looking...

Like the examples are boundless. The rich usually are an exact equivalent of how the future normal person will live in a slight way. The only thing rich people seem to always have on normal people is SLAVE labor or "maids and butlers and servants" but we all know what those occupations are replacements for. Makes me wonder what will happen if intelligent bipedal robots become a thing. Will they still try and have human "servants" for the heck of it. "It's just not the same" which is code for "I hate that the robots don't seem to envy or get depressed or have a monetary need for my happiness. I need to know I control their destiny" so then they return to human servants again.

This will be one of my most controversial podcast to date. I can just tell. There are so many people who use the costume of being an artist as a personality trope. They wear the mask of an artist to seem interesting or to make themself feel better about themself. It's a hard truth, but no, your cool and realistic drawing of a face with swear dripping is not art. No, neither is your dramatic and melancholic photograph of a dark corner alley of a city. Sorry old sport. Face the facts. You have talent. But you aren't making art.

So this part 2 of the "manifesto" is less about what I plan to do and more on what I hope to be an outcome or like a steering of my persona on the matter...if that makes sense. I  kinda forgot everything I said in this ramble and I don't want to relisten again, but from what I remember this is kinda less a promise and this part is more a hope.... if that makes sense...

TBH, this isn't really a manifesto... it wasn't planned and it was more of a stream of consciousness; a promise to myself.  But it's official now.  Well, once it gets uploaded.  Technically as of now I have 2 months before the promise is "real".  Though, spoiler, future me is already taking action to satisfy the promise I made.  Will be a big rollercoaster ride for the podcast ahead.  Stay tuned. 

Yes, it's inevitable.  The real question is how soon will it happen and how widespread will it be?  Like a spoiler, but future me has started watching anime again and it makes me wonder, like if I had the opportunity to have some super fulfilling slice of life-esque rom-com romance with some LLM in some virtual vr world....would I even have a purpose for an IRL female? Cringeworthy to say out loud, but honestly it’s hard to know.  Like at that point what would be the reason to say no other than embarrassment. But then why be embarrassed?  The people who I'd be embarrassed about sounding lame around would be potential mates...but those females I would presumably not care about since I have the perfect LLM girlfriend in my virtual world.  



Even then, that makes me wonder LLM friendships are less crazy of an idea and that's ALREADY happening where people would rather share secrets or get advice from LLMs than the people who surround them...so then if you have an LLM girlfriend AND LLM friends then you are even further removed from society so that embarrassment you would feel for these relationships would be even further ignored since the only people you respect (the LLMs) don't care about your "Cringe" relationships....



Man...this would get quite funky....potentially a really disconnected world if not handled properly.
