    Well, you aren’t entirely wrong…

    • AI uses already existing data to create “new” data / Dreams uses things you experience throughout your life to create the scenes you see

    • Both are imperfect facsimiles of reality, very convincing at first but falls flat with a more detailed analysis

    • AI tends to hallucinate / dreams tends to be really weird

    • Places have no sense of permanence in dreams nor in AI.

    • some may argue dreams have no real meaning or purpose, it isn’t a coherent narrative, just like AI.

    Of course, it isn’t a 1:1 relation, but I kinda dig it.

    I am in Venezuela. From what i see and my mother, who is more aware of these things, has explained me, in short:

    • The hydrocarbons law was reformed to basically give foreign companies that want to invest in our oil almost all the power they need. They are practically the owners of the land where they will drill.
    • An amnesty law has freed almost all political prisoners.
      • In relation to this, many of the prisoners who were in the Helicoide, Chavismo’s so-called “torture center,” denied having suffered any torture. Not on TV, but on their personal TikToks.
    • It is said that the CIA conducted an investigation to corroborate the claims that the disgraced opposition leader, Marina Corina Machado, and the opposition were making about the Chavista regime and the state of Venezuela in general. All or the vast majority of these claims turned out to be lies or exaggerations.
    • Attorney General Tarek William Saab resigned. But in reality, he was only moved to a different position, becoming Ombudsman. The new Attorney General is a man named Larry Devoe. It is not yet known where the former Ombudsman, Alfredo Ruiz, has been reassigned.

    That’s pretty much it. As for sources, I can’t recommend any in English, as the vast majority exaggerate or distort the narrative according to an agenda (whether for or against the United States). All mine are regional and in Spanish. The closest would be RT, but it has a very bad reputation (and rightly so).

    In reality, everything remains the same at the citizen level. The same people are still in charge, and the dollar continues to rise. The only difference is that Venezuelan oil may be sold to Israel by the US, while we will continue to eat shit with the Chavistas.

    Change so that nothing changes.
