After generating 5000 images with these tools, I believe the killer app will be the one that gives the artist the most control. I want a view and a scene and be able to manipulate both in real time. Like, View: 50mm film, wide-angle Scene:

I got picked for gifted back when it was still a program to help defeat the Soviets. Then, funding went away and it became a status symbol. I can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of public education. It was an awfully boring experience. It seems

Check out the book “Behave” by Sapolsky. It gives an excellent overview of how biology effects and doesn’t effect behavior.

I worked concession at Woodstock 99 (and 94) for a non-profit. Woodstock’s management, to maximize their profits, required attendees to exchange their currency for wooden scrip which they’d use to purchase merchandise from vendors. The non-

"social media is mostly controlled [and manipulated] by a privileged few" *additions mine but, you could argue that it's always been that way. The scale has multiplied.

On the other hand, it's pretty clear that chronic depression (and other psychiatric illnesses) are partially heritable. So, maybe not an "imbalance" but chemicals are involved somewhere.

Lots of people have the the blanketed "religion is bad" perspective. The problem is that technology has always been used to oppress people. The result of transhumanism will be oppression of all by a few (or worse, just one). And,

I was the primary parent for many years, and I regret doing it. The stigma of being a stay-at-home dad is just too extreme. First, it is nigh impossible to find parenting groups that allow men. So, you're stuck parenting solo without c

Well, rich is relative, of course. But, I take in about 200k in passive income / year. My house is paid for, and while I budget for 120k / year in expenses, it's actually more like 60k. So, the rest just compounds. (Once you

I was pretty poor. The house I lived in still had an outhouse. We had an old-fashion washboard thingy to wash clothes. And, my mom made $7k to take care of 4 kids (in the 90s). I chased the dream hard. Worked at 4 startups, worked myself to

The thing is, for 20+ years you didn’t have to study. Only within the last decade or so have things become so competitive. There’s been a fundamental shift in supply and demand.
