This isn't quite the Star Trek I remember. Can't put my finger on what's different....

Read this article and wondered what well painted renders of these statues would look like. Took the images of the statues, and several of the images as style references, and fed it into Nano Banana. This is what it produced.

What if every form of disinfo - media manipulation and propaganda had a name like "Gaslighting", "Streisand Effect", etc. where everybody immediately knew what it was? "Whadabout", "Willie Horton/Laken Riley", "Seesawing", "Flashbang", "Firehose", "The Gallop", "Fringe-baiting", "Grass-Cutting"...

Procgen and AI are like peas and carrots. Procgen adds the bones.. AI adds the meat. You can build pretty spectacular stuff when you put these two together.

32GB is a laughable amount of VRAM for a GPU in 2025. Anyone disagree with this statement? How are you going to run any non trivial LLM?

How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?

This is groundbreaking stuff. You ask the AI to generate a world, and then walk around exploring it. Gobsmacked.

Always a nice gesture to smile and wave at the stopped cars as you pass by.

California Tesla Sales Slip 12.6% in 2024 while BEV/HEV combined reaches 39.4%. Mostly Hyundai, BMW and Kia along with other auto mfrs have claimed that market share. I think we can say at this point that the Tesla brand has suffered considerable damage in CA. www.cncda.org/news/califor...
