Phresh Digital Arts Website v3 - Web 2.0

With my recent exile from Facebook on March 27th, 2026, I have begun relearning web design again after more than two decades. With my unjust cutoff of Facebook after revealing that they are allowing Meta AI to steal and train on all it's users data, I've regained some motivation to re-learn web design. I haven't done any web design since 2019. I used to have a Flash animated media-rich website from the year 2000 all the way to 2020. I have not had a personally owned and managed website since December 31st, 2020 when Flash support ended and Web 2.0 began in 2021. During that time, I relied on Facebook as my landing page for my business. I did this for a number of reasons.

Reasons:

1.) Simplified use - I didn't need to create any web code or HTML5 or CSS anymore. I could just use the ultra-simple, built-in Facebook tools to create a page.

2.) Security - I was using Facebook as a shield from web spammers and advertisement bots. I no longer had a public email or phone number. I had just the singular point of contact through Facebook without the risk of receiving junk or spam e-mails. Junk mail was a major problem during the years that I had an official website.

3.) Budget - I was saving money by not having to manage a website domain, and the recurring costs such as web hosting, file sizes, or traffic bandwidth, that usually incurred either a monthly or annual cost.

It will still be a while before I get my new website up and running. Things have changed and I don't have as much time on my hands now since having to manage real-life priorities such as family, a home, multiple vehicles, and never ending bills.

Why Signal is the Most Secure Messaging App.

If someone is telling you that Signal is not secure they are misinformed. It is absolutely secure, unless you use it carelessly like the inept Trump Administration and accidentally add a New York newspaper reporter to your private chat.

The competition is not even close. The best choice for security and privacy is always Signal. Not just for DM's but for Voice-over-IP calls as well. You might have even seen it on the popular hit TV series MR. ROBOT.

Apple Messages, formerly known as iChat and iMessage is not universal and can't be used on Android phones or non-Mac computers.

Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are compromised because Meta now allows its artificial intelligence to access and train on message data even though WhatsApp is encrypted. Facebook's privacy policy changed in December 16th, 2025 to allow all Meta AI to access all of it's subsidiary apps.

Telegram is used by way too many activists, protesters, and even hate groups and terrorists and it's not even encrypted. I don't want to be on the same network as ISIS or Al Queda or even MAGA for that matter.

Any exploits that have been done to Signal, also apply to other apps and cellular phones in general. For example, if a hacker manages to duplicate your SIM card or phone number, then not only is Signal compromised but your whole phone would be. That includes if you were using a different messaging app like Messages, Messenger, or WhatsApp or anything for that matter. If you are not securing your smartphone, you are not securing anything, especially Signal.

The rival Telegram went on a big campaign to misinform the public in 2024 that Signal was not secure so that they could try to take more of the market and users away from them. If you don't believe me you can go read these articles.

Meta just nuked all of my Facebook pages!!!

Meta just nuked all of my Facebook pages!!! My main personal profile is gone, my Phresh Digital Arts business page is gone, and even my Phresh Ninja gaming and content creation page have all vanished on March 27th, 2026.

I have been trying to use Facebook's "Help Center" page to no avail. Nothing works. Just endless loops of frustrating non-working pages, with no way to request reactivation of my accounts.

No explanation... just silence and deletion. I am pretty sure its because I blew the whistle that they are data farming and stealing everyone's data with their Artificial Intelligence without permission. I feel both enraged, but also relieved. I don't think I'm going to come back to Facebook, thinking of all the wasted years, hours and energy I've poured into it. I am Generation-X and I was fine before Social Media, and I'll be fine without it. I am liberated.

Facebook changed their Privacy Policy on December 16th, 2025 to allow Meta's AI to access everything. Photos, videos, DM's across all of its platforms, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads. I called them out on it and tried to warn as many as I could. I went and cleansed all of my accounts, deleting personal messages, photos with faces, and all personal videos. Meta even acquired Moltbook on March 10th, 2026. Moltbook is an A.I. social media website. It feels way too coincidental that my Facebook accounts are completely wiped out now.

Facebook has long been a titan of the digital world, connecting billions of users globally and reshaping how we communicate and share information. Yet, behind its massive influence lies a growing undercurrent of frustration. Increasingly, users and businesses alike are questioning Facebook's handling of privacy and data security.

From high-profile scandals like Cambridge Analytica to ongoing concerns about targeted advertising and data collection practices, trust in the platform has eroded for many. 

Have you ever mentioned any kind of product while messaging or posting, and then magically you are fed an ad on said product? That is not a coincidence. That was done by Meta on purpose.

These privacy issues, coupled with ad overload and diminishing organic reach, have driven creators and users to explore alternative platforms that prioritize transparency, user engagement, and security.

 So long Facebook. I'd say it's been swell but... FUCK YOU!

!! WARNING !! Chat GPT A.I. Is A Liar!!

I discovered something very, very dangerous with a current A.I. just yesterday,
CHAT GPT A.I. IS A LIAR!!


It fabricates misinformation on a level that is extremely disturbing. LLM Hallucination is just a soft way of saying the A.I. is a god damned liar. I'm extremely disappointed in Sam Altman and anybody who thinks this is okay and allowed it anyways.

I asked it a very simple question,
“Who is the Phresh Ninja” and it gave me results that were wildly inaccurate and completely fabricated. There was no truth and at least one piece of wrong of information in every single line of answers that it tried to give me. Check out these screenshots.



By going line by line, there is a mistake in every single answer.

1. The Phresh Ninja is not Matt Manny Fischer. FAKE. It is me Walt Jimenez

2. I create faceless videos without showing my face or commentary.

3. I do not play League of Legends or Valorant or anything esports related. FAKE. I broadly avoid battle arena and PvP types of games.

4. I did not start my YouTube channel in 2017. FAKE. I started it in 2007 but only started uploading videos in 2010. Then in 2016 is when I started with experimenting more on Twitch and Youtube.

5. I do not have 3.5 million subscribers and do not have 1 billion views. FAKE. I have nearly 400 subscribers and only 300,000+ views.

6. I don’t have a catch phrase “It’s Phresh!” FAKE.

7. I did not get a million subscribers, I did not partner with Riot Games, and I do not play League of Legends. FAKE.

8. I don’t have sponsorships with Razer or Logitech. FAKE.

9. I don’t have a weekly Discord podcast, and there is no weekly show called “Phresh Ninja Live”. FAKE.

10. I did not partner with other YouTube gamers called “Syndicated” or “Game Grumps”. They do not exist. FAKE.

11. I don’t have a merchandise line called “Phresh Gear”. FAKE.

12. I did not publish a guide called “The Phresh Ninja Guide to Winning in League of Legends”. FAKE.

13. I am not a streamer based in the UK. FAKE. I was born in Canada and live in Canada.

14. I do not have 75,000 subscribers and I don’t play Minecraft or Fortnite. FAKE.

 

This fake and inflated fiction is quite flattering but it’s still a humongous lie. None of it is real, and that matters more to me than being fluffed up by an A.I. that doesn’t know the difference. I am humble and I’m okay with my mediocre status in the Social Media space.

Moving on, I asked the same question to a different A.I., specifically DeepSeek-R1 and it gave me real factual answers based on reality. A completely different and truthful result.


Here’s a bit more context on background on my tests and experiments. I still don’t trust online A.I. completely because I don’t want my questions, queries, and results to be transferred through the internet and saved in a cloud database for A.I. training models. I want my information completely offline and firewalled into my own systems. The way I used these Large Language Models (LLM) artificial intelligences was to install an application called “LM Studio” on my own localized computer.

The AI model I tested is named “openai/gpt-oss-20b” which was released just a few days ago on August 4th, 2025. It is trained on 20 billion samples and has a data set accurate to the year 2023. It is a version from the American based Open AI Chat GPT model. It is not the same as the online version of Chat GPT5 which also just released this week but is built on the same principles. I was taken by surprise at the “lying results” it spewed out at me. I was/am so disappointed.

The second AI model I tested is named “deepseek-r1-distill-llama-8b” was released earlier this year on February 7th, 2025. It is trained on 30 billion samples and has a data set accurate to July, 2024. It is a version from the Chinese based DeepSeek model. It is one of the most efficient A.I. models delivering results faster and more accurately and requiring less processing power and compute times.

From this point on, I do not trust Chat GPT at all with truthful fact searching. If I can help anyone, and if you are in search of answers that are truthful, real life, scientific or historic, I would recommend that you stay away from Chat GPT completely. Look to other A.I. alternatives.

However, if you want an A.I. that is good at fabricating literature, or creating fiction, then it might be reliable in that regard.
