Water location matters. Is the data center in a desert with scarce potable water for locals? Or is next to a large Canadian lake, plenty of potable water, with people who want to trade something for currency so they can put avocados in thei

Audio and video data can be collected from the real world. It won't be immediate and won't be cheap.

I expect more 'automation' to happen through the API than 'augmentation'.

I gave DeepSeek the following prompt in ASCII: give me 5 different points of view from within china on the events of 1989, and a proportion on how many people hold those points of view currently and I got an interesting response, which was

My thinking is that maybe * there aren't enough pilots * pilots understandably don't want to fly too close to the fire But a drone might be able to get away with carrying less water and do more of a targeted squirt.

Can we fight fires with a fleet of AI powered drones? I've watched water bombers [like this]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrOESRoD1Jk ) near my hometown. It seems like a lot of the water could be better targeted, and

Ideally you could this one step further and feed production logs, user session replays and feedback into the LLM. If the UX is what I'm optimizing for, I want it to have that context, not for it to speculate about performance issues th

Some amount of LLM gullibility may be needed. Let's say I have a RAG use case for internal documents about how my business works. I need the LLM to accept what I'm telling it about my business as the truth without questioning it.

I think there's a vibe shift. I was obsessed with Dall-E when it first came out. Now I think these images look tacky.

Interesting - I would think the neighborhood laundromat offering wash/fold service could invest in a laundry folding robot.

I want AI to help me in the physical world: folding my laundry, cooking and farming healthy food, cleaning toilets. Training data is not lying around on the internet for free, but it's also not impossible. How much data do you need? A

What do you mean exactly? Is there a conspiracy from people who own commercial real estate to force people who lease that space to renew their leases? Are employers stuck in a sunk cost fallacy where they just can't conceive of letting

Remote communication is not as good as in person. One zoom meeting is not the end of the world. But after 1000 zoom meetings, the problems start to compound and matter a lot for any team that requires a lot of communication. If you're

I started learning to code at 29 (I'm 37 now). I just went to codecademy and didn't stop. It seemed too good to be true but it works. I've been working as a software dev since 2018, currently work at an AI startup. The core b

A few things come to mind on how this could be really useful: - not having to install things like Docker and Postgres on my own machine, save space, not having to get a computer with as much space in the first place - not having the heaving
