A while back they made goofy claims about their display being “bendable glass” and how they’re “bending the laws of physics.” It was (at least on the surface, which matters to users) still soft plastic… I have little faith.

And can easily be connected to monitors, keyboards, mice by one cable with a dock. This thing is literally a laptop with no screen…

NOOOOOOOOOO

you just gotta lock in… focus real hard and commit yourself to paying less rent…

what? thrown out, you say? clearly a lack of willpower.

Thank you to coming to our annual shareholder meeting. We welcome all human and AI shareholders.

This year, we’ve seen unprecedented growth in the number of times we’ve said “AI” on stage, largely driven by our investments in AI and our desire to talk about AI.

In Q3 alone, our CEO said “AI” over 400 times, contributing to explosive stock value growth.

Our Q4 was looking to be slowed down after our CEO lost his voice, limiting his ability to say “AI” a lot, but thanks to our AI capabilities, we used AI to generate an AI voice and AI video of our CEO saying “AI.” Thanks to AI, we’ve finished the year with a valuation 300x the start, according to our AI analyst.

Obstacles to continued growth include all words in the English language other than “AI.” Also, after saying “AI” enough, “AI” stops sounding like a word anymore. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AAAAIIIIII. That’s really weird. You know, that’s another advantage of AI presenters. They can say “AI” so many times and just keep going. It doesn’t affect them.

In the next year, our AI R&D efforts are focused on seeing if more voices saying “AI” at once has a larger impact on stock price. We’ve created an AI chorus to chant “AI” at our next presentation and are very excited to see the results.

I think it’s referring to a perceived position as global leader in positive climate action. That with the US losing any hope of effective climate regulation, China could choose a more climate-friendly direction. They can develop technology, and can implement it. China’s CO2 emissions are very significant (this BBC article claims 30% of global emissions), so if it takes aggressive action it could make a serious impact on global emissions.

Due to its global position, it could likely pressure allies or promote the adoption of Chinese green technologies.

I am not saying any of this will happen, but China is certainly not powerless. I do agree that other countries would still be an issue - countries with lax environmental regulations could be cheaper manufactures and divert global manufacturing, lessening the impact of any Chinese action.

6dof industrial robot arm that has been around forever and can do pretty much anything very, very repeatably:

Looking some stuff up, it seems like stable diffusion takes text input, converts it into this CLIP embedding, and then converts that into an image? I think the weird characters here are referring to stuff in the CLIP embedding. That said I really don’t know.

“Helico” sounds like it could be a delightfully antiquated-sounding clipping of helicopter. Perhaps some Victorian gentleman is ushering you into the helico.

It would at least be interesting if one was writing a similar world, but wanted more unique language.

“Get in the 'pter” is a bit more clumsy though.

thanks!

I can’t believe Tim Apple invented all those emojis himself!

I wish they elaborated there lol. The BBC source seems to go to a 404 for me…

The modern ones are cast, but last time I checked still require some force to break the slices off their central sprue / core. What were the older ones you’re referring to if they weren’t cast like that? Now I am curious lol.

Command it to flicker mysteriously when someone arrives / walks past (perhaps determined by a new Bluetooth device like a phone being seen with a signal strength above some threshold?). Or, set up an anemometer. On nights with dramatic weather, as the wind gusts you can trigger spooky flickering. Or via lightning strike data off the internet.

I’m not sure why my mind went to making your house haunted, but there you go…

Yep, it’s break-apart slices of chocolate. You knock it on a table and they separate. I used to like them, and either I can’t find the brand I used to get or my tastes have changed, because the ones I have tried in the past few years just aren’t good.

(I do like orange + chocolate still, in a chocolate bar!)

“It will persist beyond 2026. No no no, that’s not a prediction, it’s a promise!”

They just don’t do bank robberies like they used to…

For any parents trying to find their new baby, starting the search in Asia seems like a good strategy! Book a flight immediately after birth.

… Good for that pilot? I’m more upset by people who make billions per year. The pilot makes his money doing his job, not screwing over everyone on earth.
