i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects
my favorite one right now is this guy who built an AI system that listens for birds outside his apartment, figures out what species they are, and paints them on his wall.
here's how the whole thing works:
1. a cheap usb mic on his balcony listens for birdsong 24/7
2. BirdNET, Cornell's AI model trained on 6,000+ species, names each bird species from the sound alone (no camera needed)
3. every time it hears one, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image paints that exact bird in the style of an Edo-period japanese woodblock print
4. the new painting drops into a live collage of everything that's been singing outside in the last 24 hours
5. and it all shows up on a framed e-ink display on his wall that reads "heard today" like a little museum placard for his neighborhood
knowing which birds visit you used to take a field guide, a trained ear, plus years of patient practice.
teddy just glances at the frame on his wall and sees the cardinal came back this morning
honestly i'm highly tempted to build one myself haha
@npantano_ All I’m saying is, without DF - it could have passed without too many noticing. But because he appeared, the story went viral. Why draw the attention to a dead retailer that no one is looking at?
@npantano_ I mean I am completely with you on all points except that DF necessarily has to be a plant. For sure a good target to use as a distractor. Companies run 500% all of the time, zombie stocks run even more. They’re not reported on. No one would have noticed $GME had not DF appeared.
@npantano_ Well yea his appearance was but that doesn’t mean he is part of them. Correlation not being causation so to say. He figured out the cycles slightly before everyone else and start hyping it to mess with them as well?
”Down bad Barnacle posting”
Tell me more about how >1,500 ships stuck in warm Gulf waters for months amid fuel crisis isn’t gonna cause a logistical nightmare. Even with 30% using divers, clearing the dry dock backlog will take months to a year.

@FinanceLancelot Is there any signs of actual demand destruction? So far not at all enough.. Strait won’t open and so many factors are contributing to supply not returning to normality until atleast 2027.
Why data points to collapse in price? @FinanceLancelot
@heyitspixel69 Not saying that everything Ryan has done has been bad. Not at all, mainly good things. But you don’t have to agree or believe in every decision.
@heyitspixel69 Been against many of your opinions lately, but here I’m with you.
People in the comments saying ”if you vote against why not just sell” really showcase how little people care about their investments.
There are other ways of doing M&As, like targeting smaller brands etc.
