More recently we have the work of Erik Lentz to make these viable with positive energy (a bunch of it AFAIR) using Solitons[0]. The funny thing is there's actually a TNG episode, New Ground, where the crew test a Soliton wave for warp

One thing that actually makes this slightly less horrible is the Gh tool. You can use gh run watch to tail your logs in the terminal and at least don't have to click through a million things just to see output.

> Loads and loads of content taken from people for free. The content that the people themselves posted to the Internet? I'm pretty sure that OpenAI didn't break into any artist's studios and steal anything.
