Sense-of-wonder lover. The future is not a destination, it is a journey you can shape.

e/acc - @physorg_com (the website) is a great decade+ aggregator for keeping tabs on applied sciences innovations. The articles are more to the point and quantitative than the usual uni PR and pop sci pieces. It also has subsidiaries for Medicine and Tech.

@TheCriticalDri2 They’ve completely taken over all positions including the KPI measurements.

@jesseproudman @SlackHQ I create groupings in the app and manually drag the channels around to keep like ones together. I don’t have external channels, but I do have some favorites and another group for channels I need to keep eyes on most often to keep them at top.

Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show.

The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore.

Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history.

Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities.

Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate.

We really can't hate these people enough.

@FrannyRocket @ReviewsPossum She’s slightly amended her position on that since the stories of how it is negatively affecting British women are becoming unavoidable.

@ArcasDream @extradeadjcb @gwyrain Turns out promoting ubiquitous brain chips will actually lead to utopia. Current reality is dystopia.

Pakistanis who gang-raped French tourist in front of her three children after her car ran out of fuel will be executed.

What we make and who we are is inextricably connected to our rich history.
And if you destroy that history and the idea of higher power, you destroy a part of each and everyone of us.
You destroy our moorings and our grounding. that’s why I sculpted the national World War I Memorial. To fight the destroyers!

@AmericaPapaBear For those interested in making similar AI image and video spoofs without censorship or bias, try @AskVenice - the Video Studio and Movie Editor are great. You can even generate spoken audio, music, and sound effects and edit them in.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@suno Looking forward to API access!

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@IterIntellectus @OldRowSwig I use Grok Imagine 1.5 through @AskVenice - it’s excellent and even less censored there.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@IterIntellectus @grok @imagine It's great and also available uncensored via the @AskVenice Grok Private Label offering.

@jesseproudman This open model looks great for Venice STT api, autoplay in chat, and Studio Audio. I would use it for narrating videos in Movie Editor too! It's not that often a low latency, higher end open voice model comes out that can be fully Venice hosted. Github link is in thread.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@DrClownPhD For those looking to make similar uncensored/unbiased images and video spoofs, check out @AskVenice.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@DamiDefi It's first going to utility alts backed by sound business fundamentals, like $VVV from @AskVenice.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@matze2001 @ideogram_ai Because it is open, I could see the community patching this like has been done with the prior open models.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@ideogram_ai Thank you for making this open. The image gen world has needed this for a while now!

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@alibaba_cloud @AskVenice Thank you for working with Venice on this one. Being able to choose from multiple video models in one editor makes a big difference since they each have their strengths.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@gekko_eth @AskVenice @venicestats As a consolation, he can think of it as a public service for the Venice ecosystem. He provided more liquid access to the DIEM compute mechanism for people who didn't have minting power but wanted to get into Venice.

[FutureTech @FutureTechie]

@jesseproudman @AskVenice Looking forward to subaccounts for sharing access to the web/app platform for work and family/friends. It would be a quick win for spreading word of and usage of Venice!

This is what building looks like. Over 1,000 workers. Every day. West Texas. We said we were going to build the infrastructure the AI economy runs on. We meant it.
