GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

I see they've managed to streamline the design considerably.

Sister-in-law during Thanksgiving dinner: "Do you think it's possible for an AI or computer to feel compassion?"
The only honest way I could answer: "I mean, if you can figure out a way to represent 'compassion' with matrix mathematics and linear algebra... Sure?"

Seeing this reminds me of a PC I was asked to fix for an elderly woman who was on oxygen, so naturally she smoked like a freight train. The apartment complex forbid it, but alas.
Her old PC made my eyes BURN just from being within 5 feet of it, it smelled THAT bad! 🤢

Stuff is tough right now, I'm really considering doing full background commissions for 200$ and single character commissions for like 150$ maybe even less.
Big under sell but I'm in a tough spot.
Please if anyone is interested in a good character portrait il do so for cheap.300$ is the usual.

"Well, the AI industry has completely fucked GPU and RAM prices, but at least if I HAVE to upgrade, a 5800X3D would be a huge step-up from my 2700X, and at <$400 it would still good bang for the FUCK YOU MEAN IT'S $700 USED NOW?!"

Well, nVidia, thanks for announcing that you're cutting back on GPU production.
How's Mujuco these days? I was planning on eventually upgrading my GPU to one that could run IsaacSim and the like, but...

Thinking back to this ridiculous pissing-match so I'll add:
At what point does "AI" take over research to the degree that "human accomplishment" means nothing anymore?
For example: If I decided to make a CG short, even just 5 years ago, it would have required lots of effort on my part. 1/?

Suddenly I'm reminded of a time when I ordered a bunch of (I believe) ultrasonic range-detection boards, and what I got after two weeks of shipping time was a box full of cheap ~$1 sunglasses. Contacted the seller and they were like "WHOOPS! my b lol have a refund". Wonder how long that will last...

"Turing Test" is tired and old-hat.
The ultimate test for useful humanoid robots is if they can autonomously mow a lawn.
With an electric mower.
That runs off an extension cord.

I used to think the "AI" bubble was just another dumb gold rush, with desperate/gullible folks making money, sure, but to make money somebody has to lose it.
And while there are losers, I worry that it's not a "gold rush" given the strain on logistics it's causing, but rather a "Cold Total War".

*use Volume Mixer to tune the sound levels of apps
*have "System Sounds" set to a level of 5-10
*apparently the "System Sound" when you change volume doesn't count...
