@HasanT1996@VadimStrizheus Honestly I give it less than 10 years.
Optimizations are coming out nearly every day and hardware is only going to get better. They will converge.
Spent $50 of the $200 API credit I got from Anthropic to make my own replacement for OpenClaw after they "banned" it.
Back to subscription usage baby.
What a wild world we live in now.
@crislenta@levelsio Google trained on in-house TPUs not Nvidia GPUs meaning they didn't need Nvidia at all which makes Nvidia weaker since they were thought to be the only ones who could make hardware for AI
I am (slowly) re-reading the Tolkien legendarium (of which Lord of the Rings is a small part). The whole body of work is so incredible and there's nothing else like it... it dilutes other worlds of fiction. Wait - your story doesn't have a comprehensive history/mythology spanning multiple ages all the way back to a creation myth as detailed in separate volumes? You didn't first invent new languages and dialects for your characters? You didn't pack it with powerful themes and stories written it in a beautiful, archaic style and compose poems and songs alongside? It didn't take you multiple decades of iteration? And what of all the uncharted territory still remaining? Is Tom Bombadil one of the Ainur. Where are the Entwives. What happened to the two unaccounted Istari. Can we hear more about what it was like in Cuiviénen when the elves first awoke? Or to see the light of the two trees of Valinor. Or of the splendor of the caves of Aglarond.
What's most on my mind though - the Tolkien legendarium is imo a concrete example of a height of culture. Does AI, today or soon, make it easier to reach this high via empowerment in both writing and ideation? Or harder, when quick wins are tempting and ~free, and an independent ability to create is stifled. If such a body of work is made again but now with heavy AI assistance, does it inspire the same wonder? What if thousands of them come out on demand with just a prompt? Why do you feel cheated when you learn that something your read was AI generated? Is it transient or a function of capability? Is it slop? What is slop? Or is wonder inseparable from its own creation myth of a lifelong obsession of a mind like your own? So many questions.
Pro: AI learns occupancy patterns, reducing overcooling. A Google data center cut energy 30% with DeepMind AI. Tesla’s HVAC could bring similar wins to homes/offices, syncing with solar grids for max efficiency. #SustainableLiving
Pro: AI HVAC optimizes real-time energy use. Tesla’s system reportedly adjusts cooling/heating via predictive algorithms, slashing waste. Per a 2025 ASHRAE study, smart HVACs can save 40-60% energy in commercial buildings. #GreenTech
I don't think the point of it is to add anything special.
It may be advertised that way by some for click bait but for me personally it makes it much easier to describe things accurately.
I also find that the underlying rewrite done by gemini can get confused, JSON helps me make sure I'm being clear about what I want.
@ButHisEmails@TheCinesthetic There was some speculation that originally it was supposed to be 5 seasons, which I dont think was ever confirmed. But just the fact that we had those gaps every 3 episodes in s2 made me wish there was more. Im aware of Rogue one, I watched it right after finishing s2.
