DISCLAIMER! ModestoView is created by real people, writing real words and taking real pictures. There is no AI cheating here and the local events we talk about in these pages are not virtual or digital, but things you can really do, created by real local people who create real local events that need you, in person to be there.
Our world is changing fast, but is it real or is it fake. Is there a real world out side or is it all imaginary? Now more than ever, we need to trust what is real, what we can count on and surround ourselves with people we can trust and count on. AI portraits are all over social media. Computer images pulled from the global internet from someone else’s work. ChatGPT is coming the new conversational Q & A. Quick answers all build on the world and language of others.
Meta what? VR? Take those goggles off and go outside. Besides looking goofy or falling over your coffee table, living in or creating a parallel word is both silly and dangerous. Besides knocking over furniture, pets, and ignoring friends or events, you lose track of intelligent dialog on how we live together as a community. For 2023 now, more than ever, we must rediscover community, working WITH each other, in person and solving big problems and creating exciting ideas. Most of all big ideas are just that until we bring them to life,
Get on a city commission, join your neighborhood association, take your ideas to your local city councilperson. We have a great city council right now that is poised to take a lot of action. You can’t do this with VR goggles, it is something we have to do together, with our sleeve rolled up. This is how we change Modesto for the better in 2023.
There are great ways that the online community intersects with real life like the Alice In Wonderland escape that came to downtown Modesto last year and the upcoming Smurf’s Great Escape on February 25th. www.cluedupp.com/products/smurfs-modesto
Be real and communicate with each other. Sit and talk in person and reach out to local people via email.
