  • I actually went to a science/nature camp as a kid where a pig part was we would catch pot guts (ground squirrels)!

    Almost every animal there had been caught dozens of times. Because they would go in, get peanut butter, be shown to a counselor that would mark that they were caught, then let go. So pretty sure all of them were trap happy since a 100 traps were out in a field 4 months out of the year, every single year.


  • Yeah like there are folks who are worth 10ish million who just bought a house 50ish years ago that gained a lot of value and had dual incomes that saved all their money for retirement.

    100 million folks are on THIN ice, but there is probably an author or inventor out there who made something really nice and everyone they worked with was also well taken care of. Most of them are probably garbage, but not all of them have to be. Some famous actors also were well known for making sure everyone got paid what they deserved on set and were very generous.

    I just don’t see getting to a billion without someone being taken advantage of on the way though.









  • Assuming you mean LLM’s and image generation, yeah open source is much better! Cause that way it’ll be used for dumb silly things.

    An LLM in a video game? Sure, could be cool. A game like spore where it generates species, and it uses image generation? Could be cool. Also if an artist wants inspiration from AI images, I don’t hate on anyone’s process. All those things I feel like are better if the people using them are in control of them.


  • Haha yeah we have seen some wonderful singers come out of nowhere with fully produced songs.

    Yes there are a lot of people who are having fun, but people producing songs for fun doesn’t make songs you enjoy worst. It’s amazing that someone can from the comfort of their home and stuff off amazon they can produce a song in about 6 months with equipment/software that would require a studio 20ish years ago. Also probably never been more satisfying to produce a song. Even if it’s not “Great” it still adds to the joy of music.







  • Ooh watched an AutoPulse one!

    AutoPulse looks almost Star Trek. Very sleek and usable. It looks so unassuming when they pull it out, then it makes that chest COMPRESS. I’m aware that you have to press hard enough to get the ribcage moving, but I was not prepared for such an unassuming device to have that much force. I can see them slipping a vest onto someone in star trek that pumps their heart and helps carry them to sick bay.

    Lucas is more star wars. It looks like a rib cracker.

    So I think I’d prefer an auto pulse XD
