One more shift to go tonight for #NightShift! Looking forward to a good rest and getting back to a “normal” routine. Taking the family to #LakesEntrance at the end of the week for a nice time through some caves, some easy hikes and more.

After seeing this note by @n1ghtw1re@defcon.social:

Put on the glasses. Carpenter's They Live exposed the hidden signals (OBEY, CONSUME) back then. Today, it's algorithms & curated feeds demanding conformity. Our latest Circuit Breach piece decodes why it's an urgent field manual for digital reality. https://circuit-breach.neocities.org/articles/put-on-the-glasses-they-live

Done watching #BlackMirror Season 7, Episode 6 - USS Callister. It was “amazeballs”. Good on them - I enjoyed every episode of this season and Black Mirror did not disappoint. So, um - now back to real life?

Watched Episode 5 of #BlackMirror Season 7. Sad really, actually got a tear out of me. The things we humans do in life and focus on selfish thoughts and don’t blink an eye at or think about what the other persons perspective may be, their emotions and own life experience.

5/6 of the Episodes I have enjoyed greatly. For anyone to think they are not original… not sure what their perspective is on that. Wouldn’t mind knowing!

Had dinner with the family for my father in laws 70th #birthday. #BoardWalkPizzeria in #CarolineSprings never seizes to be great #food.

So I was reading this today about Blogging for attention:

I want people to read what I write here. I want (hope) to be a familiar face in feed readers. I want to be linked to. The internet is a network and I want to be part of it.

I think every blogger goes through this. Webmentions are handy, but now there are ActivityPub integrations that work well and allow your thoughts to be read by followers on the #fediverse directly. #IndieMicroblogging is real.

Finally had a full straight #sleep for #NightShift instead of breaking my sleep into 2 sections. Getting use to the routine, but it took half a week, and there’s only half to go. Then I go back to normal shifts and have to reset the #bodyclock all over again.

I couldn’t resist #BlackMirror also watched Episode 4 of Season 7. Interesting to see the new technologies my form of work might get access to in the future. But also interesting the topics touched, #LSD, the language of sounds and light. The world outside of this physical realm we see with our two physical eyes. Isn’t that why a lot of coders in silicon valley are into the #microdosing these days? The world of #fungi is an interesting one. Streaming direct from the #muse.

Episode 3 of #BlackMirror Season 7 was touching.

I’ve been using #AI a lot to assist with problems and have come across a problem I am seeing pop up with all #LLM’s lately.

I feel that they are getting dumber and more susceptible to #hallucinations. I’ve been put into hours worth of rabbit holes for a potential solution to a problem only to argu with the LLM about the information it is providing being misinformation and completely made up.

AI is learning from AI generated slop all over the internet and it is having an effect.

I’m up and feeling great today ready for the next shift. Still need another nanna nap before actually getting ready for work and #NightShift again, but body clock is getting into the rhythm of it all now.

Awake after my second nap of the day. I got somewhere between 6 and 8 hours of sleep in total ready for the next shift of #NightShift. Feeling much better than last night, that’s for sure. Hopefully not too much trouble out there overnight to deal with.

Episode 2 of #BlackMirror, Season 7 wasn’t as a downer. But not as close to reality as Episode 1 was, that’s for sure. I’m still recovering from that one.

Alright, I am awake. I don’t feel like I slept long? Guess we will call it half a sleep and do the other half in a few more hours and take a nap before getting up for work?

You know what, I will write myself a weekly recap and publish it to my blog! But first, I must sleep! Stay tuned!

It’s a little hard to plan for the coming week, due to doing #NightShift at work. Makes it difficult to gather the energy to actually do things productively. I know there’s a few friend and family dinners planned which I will tick boxes off there and have some social fun. This is actually one of the reasons I dislike working the #graveyard shift. Throws life way out of wack!

The first shift of #NightShift was hard, but I made it through. Lots of strong #coffee! Will feel it through the day today, but hopefully get some good shut eye before the next one.

I need to do a review on last weeks journaling and see where I have done well and where I can improve. Maybe write a weekly style review or recap like I have seen some other bloggers do.

I’m going to have to watch this new season of #BlackMirror! www.youtube.com/watch

Having a coffee at 8:30 PM and getting ready for the first night of #NightShift this week. It’s rare I do night shifts, but it has to be done. The first night is always the hardest, breaking your daily routine and sleep cycle. I should have tried to stay up the night prior by watching movies, reading the #fediverse or playing some type of game to start getting into this cycle. Oh well!
