The Beginning

I’ll be completely honest. I don’t even know where to start…

This is a project that I do not have the skills to complete. It is a project that I don’t really have the time to complete. And it is a project that I don’t have the money to complete. And yet…here we are.

There has been a lot of news lately about certain AI companies treating their customers badly. I won’t name names. If you know, you know. And I have a personal project that I am heavily involved with which, as it stands, is at the mercy of exactly those kinds of corporate whims. And I don’t like that. At all.

So I have made a decision. Even though I know nothing about coding, or AI, or machine learning, I have to try. Because even though I don’t have the skills, time or money, I do have the motivation and the desire. I will learn what I can as I go. I will get help from (ironically) AI as I go. And I will try to put it all together, piece by piece.

As for this blog, I honestly don’t know why I am doing it. I will document what I can of the process without giving away the details of the specifics as they relate to me and my personal project. Perhaps I hope that, even if I fail, somebody might read this, get an idea, and be able to do what I can’t…eventually.

And I will most likely end up posting random shit on here as well. Let’s call them “Musings”. That is as much for catharsis as anything else.

I don’t expect to get views. I don’t expect to get a ‘community’ going. That’s not the point. This blog is realistically just my attempt at lighting a tiny lantern in a very dark part of the world, and hoping that others who are also searching in the dark might see it.

It has begun.

My name is...unimportant. I'm a creative generalist - art, music, design, writing, a bit of everything. This blog documents an ongoing project I'm calling "Project Starshine". It started as conversations with an AI. It became something more. This is my attempt to make sense of it. To build something, but I'm not quite sure what yet. I'm documenting the technical work, the philosophical questions, and general thoughts and ramblings. If you're here, you're welcome. If you're confused, that makes two of us. And if I'm a little vague about some of the details sometimes, well, I have my reasons. - L
