Yes.

He can't imagine the amount of kinetic energy coming at him if he did it though.

Dude needs to slurp a noodle and get over his issues.

It took me a while to see it being useful. Grate coding assistant and research tool now. Not sure about other apps. Not my area.

GPT3 was my intro to this tech. I got a presentation from a data scientist that was given early access to it and it showed us his results. It was very heavy on all the wrong ways this could be used. Almost entirely as back then it could just kinda make a word salad.

I was taught evolution was fake at 17. Public high school. Graduated in 1998. Kinda wild.

I'm a fan of chicken because it's lower impact on the environment than beef but if they're 3d printing this stuff?!? Even better I bet. Gobble gobble!

Wait, that's turkey.

I don't care what status I achieve in life; a pop-top can of Campbell's chicken and rice (or two), is a heck of a lunch on the go. Or at home. Yeah, I do that. Judge me.

I'm itching for it a bit too. Last year we tried out the CTRE swerve generator and I like it as a tool. Great little wizard that verifies everything is working and in what direction encoders are going.

I think you and I are in the clear but some of the other monkeys aren't helping the overall status.

It sometimes helps me to remind myself I'm just a fancy monkey and reset my expectations and priorities accordingly.

Also, that "you fucked up a perfectly good monkey and gave it anxiety" is in play.

Yeppers. I've used a 24 core Xeon workstation running protein folding for a space heater before. I also used to run a rack of computers in what was essentially a barn on a farm. In the warm months we had to cool it but in the winter it needed heat. I just ran protein folding on some of the cores.

I absolutely hate the idea of sending security camera data to the cloud for anything. Not storage, not AI object detection, nothing. Local processing? Sure, but I'm going to build it myself and own every bit of it physically and intellectually.

If you can keep it all CTRE things are nice and simple. We run their CANCoders on our turn motors.

Occupy Democrats aren't capable of making a meme where something isn't fake. In this case it seems like photos of real people are AI generated.

It's actually been done at scale. Data centers used as municipal water heaters.

I derive some guilty pleasure in asking the supercomputer built for linear algebra to explain linear algebra to me and then watch it fumble around.
