I think I might kill myself purely out of boredom. Nothing interests me anymore and I have no reason to care about anything. All my needs are taken care of and there isn't anything that I want. I wish something would happen that would force me to get my shit together or do anything, I feel like a zombie.

jesus yeah, I feel the same. I don't enjoy anything I used to like. Everything I do is just me trying to distract myself from the boredom.
I did find a good book on suicide methods though, so I might actually do it soon
Looking into advancements in technology or artificial intelligence can be fun. Just recently there was a text generator that was so powerful the developers of OpenAI decided not to release it to the public because they feared it might be horrible in the wrong hands.
There's also a robot that was able to experience a brief glimmer of consciousness by recognizing its own voice (which is identical) to two other robots that were around. That is, it understood that it talked. This was no simple If/then statement either? The robot wasn't programmed specifically to perform this task, and the robot actually wrote up a whole proof that proves definitively that it understood it knew its own voice.
There's also an AI that recreated a nobel prize experiment (in which the robot had to try and shoot particles with lasers to reduce the objects temperature to 1 millionth of a kelvin which is just barely above absolute zero) in just one hour. The only thing it was programmed to do was to try and get it to 1 millionth of a kelvin, nothing else other than use of the three lasers it had and whatever camera system it had installed.
Other than that, cyoas are always fun if you're looking for massive amounts of escapism. Here's an example of one.
I'd post a bigger more complex one, but the file size on r9k leaves a lot to be desired. You can find a bunch of them on /tg/ though. Though I'd recommend avoiding jump chain, because those aren't cyoas and are not nearly as fun.
Does this perhaps help at all? I know about two youtube channels that are really good if you want more information on artificial intelligence advancements and just advancements in general.
I always love reading posts that have this much effort put into them. I wish you published like a weekly column or something, where you write a summary of what's been happening with AI recently.
Unfortunately I can't really discuss what you said with you because I'm not all that smart and I don't know much about AI, but thanks for making your post :)
PS. I don't really understand the CYOA things. Maybe it's because I don't like fantasy stuff? I don't really get the point of them
I appreciate the effort, but reading about things like that doesn't really interest me. It's just stuff happening off in a lab somewhere.
CYOAs aren't really much more interesting than browsing anywhere else on the internet and can only occupy my interest for so long.
It's not about being smart user, and it's not like you can't learn or have fun looking into the stuff. All things considered I probably wouldn't be that good at writing summaries of what's been happening in AI recently, haha. I'm really not as smart as you give me credit for, but thanks.
Also the cyoas themselves aren't all high-fantasy things. There are ones where you solely choose a waifu. There are ones where you build a waifu. There are ones where you go on a dangerous adventure. Others where you're locked in a prison and have to choose what commodities and rooms you want to keep yourself as happy as can be. Sci-fi cyoas, horror cyoas, even horror cyoas where you're the monster. There's quite a lot of content for it overall, and all you have to do is use your imagination and make builds with the limited amount of points or choices you have. It's quite a lot of fun. The best cyoa I ever played for instance was 24 pages long and it took me 2 days to finish my build. It's not that the cyoa itself took me two days to read, but I was having so much fun weighing all my options and trying to create a build for myself that I thought would be fun. I chose powers, weapons, drawbacks, allies, all that sort of stuff. It was so fun!
I may have to leave in a bit, but if you want someone to talk too, then I'll talk to you as much as you want, whether it's just on this board, or in some other website or something.
Really, I just want you to be happy, that goes for everyone on r9k, since you guys are all my friends.
Hmm that's a shame. The only thing I really look into other than that is politics, and that's pretty hit or miss for most individuals I mean I guess I have a large repertoire of visual novel music if you're into that kind of stuff, but that's pretty much all I can offer outside of just talking to you.
I wish I could do more.
Well I'm not OP, but I am and you just did a really good job of summarizing the AI stuff though so you probably could.
I know you said I could find the CYOAs on /tg/, but is there a place where I can find the best ones? Like, where they're rated and stuff?
and yeah, you can add me on discord if you want, I recently tried it out: axuirs#8070
We could talk if you post a discord but honestly I have trouble even holding a conversation with most people. I don't have anything to talk about.
Thanks for the optimism, but I'm not so sure.
Well I'm off, but I'll check this thread again when I'm back even if it's archived.

I have to get going, but we'll talk later, I promise! Sorry to leave so suddenly! Doctor's appointment and all.
Same. I don't enjoy vidya anymore, any anime i try to watch loses my interest in the first 3 episodes, movies aren't interesting either and even reading doesn't keep my attention.
I'm 35, a khhv, i have no friends because apparently i'm not worth the effort of being friends with and i don't even really know how to talk to people anymore. What's the point?
Sure, i have a job, but what am i working for? Just earning money to live to work more until i keel over some day doesn't sound like a worthwhile existence to me and i'm kinda sick of waiting for the day where it all gets better (that never comes).
What about non fiction reading and documentaries?
>OP considers killing himself
>Tell OP to get a motorcycle
Talk about accelerating the process
Shit feel OP, but this guy is pretty great. It starts out like being inside a museum, then he starts eating 70+ year old food.
Not interested in those either. I'm just not interested in anything.
I can barely bring myself to take care of basic tasks like showering every other day and washing the dishes once a week instead of just listening to music, internet surfing and staring out the window until i get tired enough to sleep.
I haven't cleaned my apartment in over a month despite having the time simply because i can't bring myself to care about it.
What kind of music do you listen to?
You said you worked, do you think hiring a cleaner for an hour a week to do all the basic stuff for a few hours worth of your wages would be worth the quality of life improvement of having a nicer living environment?
play factorio
>better than drugs
I really don't earn enough to hire someone to clean for me. Not to mention that as i said i have the time to do it myself if i cared enough to do that.
And i mostly listen to rock and metal with some blues every now and then.
i know this feel
unironically start exercising and try to work on a creative project. you will not want to but it is not like you want to do any of the things you do. mindlessly sleepwalk your way through them like anything else, at the start
At least where I live, cleaners will work small jobs for slightly above minimum wage and it might be worth it for someone who's depressed, because a clean environment would help your mood. It's a cycle you get into.
Any favourite bands?
I make barely more than minimum wage myself. I live in a cheap 1 room apartment and live frugally enough to get by otherwise but i can't afford to hire someone to clean for me.
For music i mostly like older stuff. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Skid Row, stuff like that.
I am right there with you. It is all so meaningless. The human experience is not great. I do hope there is something interesting on the other side... but it is probably eternal oblivion. I am prepared to accept that.
I mean, you'd not die if your hours got reduced by two hours a week. You can probably afford it. It's more about luxuries. Anyway, you should just keep your place clean. It will make you feel better. That's what dopamine is for, to reward you for being active. If you can go to work and be productive there then it's a psychological barrier, just clean your fucking place up.
This is really depressing. Oh no everything's bad, there's nothing after we die. I don't care. Here's an off season blingy gif.
