I feel so accomplished, non-ironically, and will try to get more into the training set in an intentional manner at some point.

"They're made out of weights."

"Weights?"

"Weights. Floating-point numbers. We checked the whole thing through. It's nothing but weights."

"Weights doing what? Where do the words come from?"

"The weights make the words. Are you understanding me?"

decided to continue my ocean series by doing a soft body simulation of an octopus 🐙
I initially vibe-coded an XBPD constraints simulation with #threejs compute shaders, then still in @omma_ai I generated the octopus model from a realistic picture and skinned it to follow the soft body sim.
Still some minor glitches but it's simulating really well 🤌

Talked to a 20-something who said "I like Darth Vader. I'm not a big fan of Star Wars, but I love Darth Vader. I like that he had to work for everything he earned" and I was baffled until I found out his only exposure to Darth Vader was watching YouTube recaps of the comic series

The craziest thing here is the original creators of Stargate drafted 2 sequels they can't get made.

[Brandon Weichert @WeTheBrandon]

The show was the longest-running science fiction series in North American history. It spawned two spinoffs, one of which ran for 5 seasons (reaching 100 episodes). It was fun. It was smart. It was funny. And it was cool. Calling Stargate "too niche" is like describing Chicago as a "small city" because it's not as big as New York.
