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.

The level the “hobbyist” music producer can reach now days is mind boggling with the free software they can get on their phones and pcs.

I actually bought an escooter about 10 years ago.

Thing couldn’t get me anywhere.

Jokes on you, the Fed has been running that bottom program for years.

And how did they get so freaking cheap?

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

I may become a Linux boy once windows 10 is EOL.

The enshittification of Windows seems to be accelerating at a crazy rate. Haven’t used linux in like 15 years when I tried using uBuntu, and I’ve heard it’s only grown exponentially better.

The change in cell phones is truly unreal.

Just really hope the cell phone software catches up and is less trash as time goes on.

I will use the sidewalk when approaching a busy high speed intersection so I can cross as a pedestrian using the cross walk. These are always larger sidewalks and I slow down a ton so I haven’t had any problems and seems like what the bikers do.

Otherwise I am in the bike lane/bike path/gutter/road. For places I go to a lot I’ve found routes that are mostly along non busy roads where it’s more chill. Where I am the rules are just the same as for bikes. I have considered ebikes, since the range on those are comically long.

Easier management of potentially deadly medical conditions is super exciting!

Just looked this up and found Lucas.

That looks straight up from Scifi, that is amazing.

My battery loving bro!

Advancement in batteries really did change so much.

I’m a libreoffice user myself and I forget I have the “replacement” most days. The entire suite feels great these days.

Oh true! Which is also why my scooter is so powerful for the price.

20 miles on a charge on a device I bought for $400? Absurd.

Boys will be boys got me giggling pretty hard.

I will accept 3k subs, but you’re on thin ice!

2k videos and 500 subs?

Dear goodness that man is dedicated.

Right on! Perfect little niche content creator. A channel like that is probably great for a new player cause they probably can review courses for a much more sane level.

I mean Mr Beast is the biggest youtuber and he’s nothing but a zoomer game show host XD Taking shows like survivor that would be an entire season, and turning it into a 20 minute episode.

But even on modern TV, there are a ton of new ones https://www.rottentomatoes.com/browse/tv_series_browse/genres:game_show~sort🔄

Yeah offering people a chance to escape poverty and then watching them lose that hope is pretty brutal.
