Ned’s View

think history .. think progress ..

Just think
about it before
rejoicing,
that’s all I ask ..
Before
I swing or not
and all
for the sake
of two stocking
frames
and a bloody
brand new loom ..
The world,
our world,
this world is no
better off
for most of it ..
And while they
call it
technology,
or progress ..
It is not though,
is it ..
Nor is it a
solution to our
collective hunger ..
I call it
delusional ..
And fear it may
well be the end of us ..

I tend to agree, the world frightens me...no..humanity frightens me...meddling, interfering, brains and egos way too far ahead to notice the feet sinking x

Being Me

This brings AI to my mind. I think it's bad news and we definitely didn't sign up for it. They've trained it to write in the "voice" of famous authors. They are working on its poetry voices at the moment. That's losing the point of poetry and fiction. Poetry is all about writing from the heart and soul. AI chatgpt etc bothers me a lot x
