Just go to Perplexity or something like that, its well trodden ground. And essentially, what you're doing is discretizing the relevant differential equations and getting that to run in a 2D or 3D cellular automaton. I'll give you

The entire model of sea-borne power projection has changed. What does it mean when hypersonic missiles can be fitted with optical sensors to autonomously target ships? It means carriers now are about as useful as battleships in WW2. Nobody

Netanyahu, when addressing the troops, even said "Do not forget what Amalek has done to you", invoking the memory of the biblical commandment to genocide the Amalekites.

Is this really that bad for Google? Do Perplexity and OpenAI use paid SERP API under the hood? Google doesn't have to make money from ads on search, if its paid search.

I'm curious what your viewpoint is here. Is human extinction a bad thing? And if not, do you care if it's your own descendants thriving, versus the descendants of an immigrant?

Electric cars are mainstream now. Reusable rockets are real. Twitter won an election and spawned XAI. Elon is the richest man in the world. Yeah bro, he's a moron. Sure.

This makes me think the first to make a really successful model will be the ones to pony up to get human feedback at scale from the smartest humans instead of what they do now.

I made a trading bot that ingested news. The prompt to assess impact was to simulate a debate between Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet on whether to invest.

Its a time capsule, among other things. I want to take many, many videos of my grandpa's farm, and be able to walk around in it in VR using something like this in the future.

What you're saying just isn't true. I can get an AI to generate an image of a bear wearing a sombrero. There are no images of this in its training data, but there are bears, and there are images of sombreros, and other things wear

I am trying Geocod.io right now and its been a very smooth experience so far. Generous free tier, no credit card required, good docs and a dedicated node library. And I can store results.
