Thank God Texas generates power from unlimited resources. In my place, the more we generate and consume, the less we have left for the future. In Texas, the plants have to generate as much as possible for some reason !

BS, nobody has to listen to your imaginative process. Imagine away, build something that conforms with the data, then show it ! For now, we dont know any other way to explain than to say it expands, except maybe imaginative fantasies from a

Yeah agreed, it s not garbage garbage it's just silly and useless, and all I can think is "meh". I really find it incredible they call those token generators "AI"

But how do you allocate more capital to more successful people so that you drive effort towards what people need / enjoy the most ? If there's no incentive to do popular music, then we could all do shitty music ?

But there is no greater pleasure than to finish something, deliver it, get users in front of it, and get feedback you never expected from either grumpy or happy users. I think it's way more rewarding to try to work for profit, because

Middlemen are people who spent time specialising in a market and you pay them as guides. You never have to go through them, but you'll get your ass raped. There s nothing wrong about them, they work hard and are not rent seekers (a com

What are the other languages you speak fluently ? You're right of course, the diversity of English knowledge (and entertainment, sometimes as important) is dizzying and that's why I even learned it in the first place. But there&#x

Yes, I live in Hong Kong now and I know the Chinese languages have ridiculously simple formal grammar (that doesn't mean their brain doesn't have to do complex inference - is it better not to say what you meant or simpler to just

Sure maybe, but French, my native language btw, is inherently more complex, less rich in vocabulary, idiosyncratic in its habit to follow latin in writing but deviating from it in spoken form, it's just not as good as English so we

Hum but English has simpler features that make it easier to learn than most languages. Sure, the phonetic is hard and I'll always have an accent and people will always just guess my country at the first sentence I utter, but: - nouns h

Still as a French, I think we could have done better much earlier. Much much earlier. The US isnt the cause of our problems, we are. We are even the cause of the US in the first place, you know, eradicating the natives, enslaving the africa

Have you tried AI porn ? There's something in the fact it's fake uncanny characters that makes it non-exciting. Like, jerking off to a toaster basically, and I assume it'd be the same for a social network with no human ?
