Short Introduction why I started this blog
Hi, first time I did anything like this blog. Never posted on any social media (back when I had some accounts).
Tried journaling often, but was somehow never able to stick to it when trying to write on paper.
Then, some time this year after using AI in my programming work (stuff like autocompletion and suggestions for code snippets), I started writing my thoughts into the AI. This turned into some kind of interactive journal. I have seen the videos and reports about people using AI for therapy. However, the AI basically just rewrote my thoughts. And then, a few weeks ago after noticing that the AI was spouting the same lines, the same responses again and again, the novelty began to fade. Instead I began wondering if some real people might be interested in some of those thoughts that I had been writing into the AI chats like a journal. And what other people might say about all of it and maybe even respond. And of course there is some hope that some people can relate to my future ramblings.
So after a quick search on how to start a blog I quickly landed here on bear. Simple and straightforward for a start.
So here I am. I have no idea if I will be able to keep some kind of frequency for new posts or how much I am going to post here at all. But I think just having this space as an outlet is nice.
(Also, the blog name comes from Sartres absurdism. I read Nausea by Sartre this year, but first I heard about it years ago in a video about Sartre.)
