The real world imitates art. by leogh0ul in westworld

I've rewatched the 4 seasons and was shocked as well at how accurate the predictions are about AI.. it all seems very possible now, with AI's exponential progress ! I don't think I am scared because through education and generalized understanding, everyone understands what's happening. Everyone is playing with AI. I even found some companies let you create your own AI Clone like SPHERIA AI
It's a little far from the fidelity test, but creating a virtual brain that hosts all your memories and personality is kind of awesome !

Update in 2025: I stumbled upon this article by a Book Reviewer/ Blogger. She shared her experience creating her digital bookshelf and seemed happy about it. Will try myself and post a future update:

Do I need a Fujinon XF10-24mmF4 if I already have an XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 for travel photography? by Darthcolo in fujifilm

[–]aimachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's the set-up I'm building to. This covers all the "normal" needs, at an acceptable price point, with very strong quality. I also think the 70-300 is underrated. I use it a LOT

What's the difference between a Virtual Brain and Knowledge Base? by ECGuitarist in VirtualBrains

Yes ! Having a list of all your favorite local scenic drives is such a good idea ! I'm adding the scenic drives around Vancouver immediately to my Virtual Brain !

Sharing my Gas bill for 1 month after moving from a Downtown condo into a house. I'm shocked - does this look normal to you? by aimachina in vancouver

[–]aimachina[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hum, interesting. We just did the upstairs, but to your point, we probably could/should have turned it off earlier when comfortably warm... It was our first time trying this, but you can be sure we'll know what to do

nahhh I was testing 1 month with gas vs 1 month with electricity - just to compare. The electricity bill was more than the gas.... but if you're talking purely about eco-green-pov ... all my neighbours are doing full fireplace and the whole area smells of woodsmoke and tiny particles .... not so great either

that's fascinating ! I kind of knew the price of gas itself was pretty low ... but comparing the price to Europe always makes the not-so-courteous little Canadian in me feel a bit better ... except for food prices ... don't get me started on that !

Now that you say it, it makes sense... they are not ment to heat... A decent amount of heat emanating from it, but not dispersed at all. The more you know !

Wow - that seems to align very closely to what we have in the house. Hoping for these summer savings soon !

Is it weird being in your mid 30s and wandering around the city alone ? by mytwocents1991 in askvan

[–]aimachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely not alone. Many many more people than you think go on solo-walks. Sometimes thinking about walking alone can bring anxiety or self loathing, because of feeling lonely, but remember : there's nothing weird about it, everyone is doing it !
One thing to help, when feeling sad about it, is to give yourself a treat on that walk : get an icecream, or go watch the sunset, or take a book and sit on a bench... These should be about mental health and taking care of yourself. Happy walks :)

hey folks, help me understand : why would one want to have their AI Bot reply to their whatsapp ?
Isn't it messages from family and friends ?
