I started going in 2002 and have friends who have gone every year since then. There has been a meme that burning man sucks now and used to be better that entire time. That doesn't mean the meme is false. It definitely has changed. Ther

Good idea! I'd never heard that. Very interesting. But wouldn't this help china build models just as good as ours immediately? Wouldn't it make the investment in training a model worth a lot less?
