Richard Milhous Nixon for President 2024! Ol' Tricky Dick was made for times like these. Been reading Hunter S. Thompson's Generation Of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the 80s and it's wild how little has changed.
Hell, the names haven't even changed, Biden and Trump both get mentioned. Trump was a joke of a property developer then rather than a joke of a president but the punchline hasn't changed a bit. If we have another round of Biden vs Trump inflicted upon us in two years it'll be as if the 80s never ended. No matter who wins we'll have high inflation, a senile president, conflict all over the place, and a nice case of lukewarm war with the Russians.
Maybe this time when the president says "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." they won't be joking. My money's still on the apocalypse being a 'Not with a bang but a whimper' sort of thing though.
So what's your dream apocalypse? One of the quick ones, a nice bright flash of atomic fire and it's all over? Or one of the slow ones, all raging at the dying of the light and no climax?
Do AI dream of radioactive sheep? Asked MidJourney about apocalyptic dreams and you're looking at the result. Apparently they dream mostly in blacks and reds.
With dreams like this I probably wouldn't sleep either...
If I don't see you before then, y'all have a Happy Apocalypse!
Tom Lehrer's songs from the 1950s are perennially accurate, too.
How have I never heard these before now?
Awesome!
Thank you!
Brilliant results from the AI. Straight out of a nightmare. They compliment your thoughts very well.
