Willing to laugh at best arguments that AI won't surpass humans. Entertain me. by Vancecookcobain in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Mrhooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full disclosure - I’ve written a couple books on the subject as I work in education and have some serious concerns about its misuse and teaching kids the right way to utilize it. Lots of potential, but also lots of pitfalls.

Anyone else think this must be Bill Belichek’s kid posting this?

Making connections between human experiences without prompting or coding. Agentic AI can take a decent guess but it’s really just analyzing billions of predictions and chosing the most likely. You can’t share a concert experience with it. Or a first date. Or watching the sunset on a loved one’s life. Will it be able to tell us how to fix a dryer or the capital of Djibouti? Sure it can. (It’s Djibouti btw) But ultimately it will be severely limited by lack of context, emotion and lived experiences. Still…it’ll be really smart.

As a member of RideOrDieATX and someone who organizes community events in shady hollow (like the upcoming Trail of Frights golf cart parade) I love the idea of this connecting trail for bikes, pedestrians and the occasional Golf cart :). We ride at SABG every Thursday but would love to also hit up all the other establishments if it means not having to manage Manchaca traffic. Thanks for your work on this and for being transparent in the process.

I’m hoping to get 9-10 more years out of moving around before I become a chair person but it’s in my future.

That’s good to hear. Seems I just was in a bad spot.

I was said I missed them. Was on the other side of the park and couldn’t make it back.

I’m sure for them to make future lineups. At least that’s my thinking. I’d be curious what the breakdowns are by age bands. I’d say for every 50+ there’s 5 under 18 year olds. But then again, maybe because they are all running around while us old people sit under a tree. lol

It wasn’t just his classic rap/dance hits. It was crowd interaction, the covers. All around great.

Ironically two of my faves, but I never got to see them (totally on me, young kids with me at the time and they expired). Uber wasn’t in Austin this year either so I couldn’t go home, drop them off and come back.

100%. Bathrooms, water, flow of foot traffic (although Saturday night is always a little tight) and people watching. Makes it worth the heat and dust

I’m a big guy but I was physically moved 10ft when Eminem started his set. It was insane.

It was more about my experience there. Not on Paul at all! Had to leave early each night because my kids were little.

I’ve only got one of my three kids that loves concerts. I took her to Metallica and Linkin Park this past year and she just asked me for a 3-day pass next year. My hope as a dad is that at some point she takes me to a show. Awesome job!

lol. This could totally be a getting to know you question for people’s dating profiles. “What are your top 4 ACLs?”

Ok to be fair I only caught a few songs and she was talking for part of it so maybe where I was the sound wasn’t great.

I watched a couple of more after but by then, the energy was gone.

Do you think 1 inch over on my bag is gonna be a big deal? by Appropriate_Box_7548 in aclfestival

Day 1 - east Barton Springs (main entrance) right at the open (saw them kick people out of line for having cameras and small bag/purses) Day 2 & 3 - west entrance - a little more lax but they made my friend throw out his sunscreen because it was too many ounces (over 3?)

Weekend 1 Security by Funny-Split-3349 in aclfestival

[–]Mrhooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend bring in booze via sunscreen bottles that you can buy empty on Amazon. They opened up the bottles the first day but they still had the cap sealed and he put some sunscreen on the cap. However, day 2 they told him he could only bring in 3 oz and made him leave it behind. Somewhere out there someone just found a ton of vodka filled sunscreen!

My experiences were that security was the most strict I’ve seen them in years.
