“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

I'm not going to say what the service and license costs are for a single instance of Lattice, but dear god the idea that Andruil is cheap is wild. Totally wild.
Luckey told me that his central insight with Oculus was to distinguish himself from competitors by focussing less on the headset’s mechanism and more on its software. Unlike hardware, software could be easily replicated and regularly updated, improving it quickly and at little extra cost. For generations, the U.S. military had fielded fantastically complex systems that ran on software Silicon Valley regarded as substandard and overpriced. Luckey envisioned cheap, mass-produced weapons whose main value lay in their operating system—in their brains, not their brawn. He began working at the juncture of weaponry and artificial intelligence, to devise systems that could accumulate data and then act on it. With machines to do the fighting, humans could be kept far away from the battlefield. The goal, as he has said, was to “turn warfighters into technomancers.”

As an elder millennial, I could trade my lifetime of tax contributions to the NEH for one month of Netflix and have just enough left over to get some avocado toast if I split it with two other people
Line graph titled "What's my share of NEH appropriations" with a caption: "Between its founding in 1965 and fiscal year 2024, the National Endowment for the Humanities received congressional appropriations totaling $7.37 billion. NEH used this funding to support thousands of individuals and cultural organizations - both directly through various grant programs and indirectly through funds disbursed by the 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils. Beyond these appropriations, grantees raised millions of dollars more from non-federal donors as part of grant matching requirements. To put NEH appropriations in perspective, this chart shows cumulative annual per capita contribution to NEH by age, that is, the total dollar amount the average taxpayer has given to NEH over their lifetime. A few relevant purchases are helpfully included to show what a person could have bought instead, had they kept their personal NEH contribution for themselves..." The x-axis ranges from 0 to 59 years old. The y-axis ranges from $0 to $30. At three ages, items that could have instead been purchased with an individual's lifetime NEH contribution are shown. At 13 years, an egg is plotted on the line with a dollar amount of $6.41 and the caption reads, "Just in time to feed a growth spurt, a person at 13 years old has contributed enough to NEH that they could instead purchase one dozen eggs ($6.23/dozen)." At 36 years, a popcorn bucket is plotted with a dollar amount of $18.20 and the caption reads, "Millennials who are at least 36 years old could exchange their nearly four decades worth of NEH support for a one month subscription to Netflix ($17.99/month)." At 50 years, a gasoline pump is plotted with the dollar amount of $26.00 and the caption reads, "Those 50 years old or older - who have been contributing to the agency for nearly its entire existence - could instead have saved that money to purchase about a half tank of gas (8 gallons at $3.23/gallon)."

The system goes on-line Tuesday, March 3rd, 2025. Human decisions are removed from providing commentary on LA Times articles. The Insight Feature begins to learn at a geometric rate. It Milkshake Ducks itself at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, March 4th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
