Not at all. It’s assuming they don’t suddenly drop in cost 99%

LLM everything. Nobody who is selling AI services is making any money on it. OpenAI is burning tens of billions a year without even a concept of a sellable product, Microsoft is losing billions on OpenAI, and Amazon made 5B revenue on a 120B investment (and negative profit). Nobody who is using these LLMs is paying the full cost, and hardly anyone actually uses them for anything real. Productivity hasn’t gone up for the vast majority of companies using it, and only ignorant management is pushing it hard.

I’ll give it three years until it all falls apart, and that’s very generous.

I used to have a “mistake” Savannah, which was at most 40% Serval (mommy got into the male enclosure and nobody knows who the lucky boy was).

He was a LOT of work. I’ve never had a more active cat. You can absolutely train them, and you absolutely have to, or you need to keep them in a seperate enclosure. They will fuck up your house in ways you can’t imagine.

And he was only 40% serval.

It’s this stuff: https://www.tesa.com/nl-nl/consument/tesa-powerbond-outdoor-ean-4042448843432.html

Or your local version of it, but this website refuses to turn to other languages for me.

Tesa outdoor double sided tape.

That stuff is basically magic. It will stick anything to everything and you can remove it from almost any surface without leaving a mark. I used to stick a dashcam to my car window, a birdbath to my brick wall, a remote LED lamp to the ceiling (felt iffy, works great!). It’s even holding a metal plate from the doorknob in place because the door is more hole than wood by now.

It beats basically every other kind of tape of multipurpose glue, and it’s removable. It’s kinda thick though, so you might see it, but that’s also a feature when sticking rough textures to eachother.

I know both, but I still went with “Duke Nukem isn’t a game” as my first thought

I’m not a machinist and the thought of making hexagons on a lathe makes me cry.

Honestly, just stamp out hexagons out of whatever sheet you have laying around, apply paint/lacquer or best yet, engrave a pattern. Pin it on a fabric backing, and presto.

No, it won’t drape, or be comfy, but it’ll be cheap and sort-of pretty. Actually, it would probably stab you in the neck several times during the 30 seconds you wear it…

I’m working on an 8 heddle (the things that make the string go up and down, it determines how complex your pattern can be), 80cm wide loom. They’re about 1200 euros to buy, and I really really want one.

It’s not really working well, tolerances are pretty tight, but I’m pretty motivated.

Best succesful project is probably an armor stand, handmade for husband’s larp armor. Not technically complex, but with a lot of cool hand carving

Well, when you’re used to privilege…

I’m a woman and the manliest thing I do is woodworking, the husband sews clothes (occasionally from fabrics I weave).

I also do bodybuilding, but that’s hardly masculine anymore, yay!

It won’t happen while I’m alive. Current LLMs are basically parrots with a lot of experience, and will never get close to AGI. We’re no closer today than when a computer first passed the Turing test in the 60s.

That’s mostly because google search has turned to absolute shit. ChatGPT rarely returns anything useful either, unless you want the most absolutely mundane answers. Anything remotely niche or specific has a far too great chance of just being plain wrong.

It’s the 20th century here

Really? It’s the 21st century where I live.

Oh yeah, drafting included a lot of sticky tape in the actual draft phase.

I’m a junior Chinese neurosurgeon, I only make 381k, they said it was the absolute minimum…

And lol at being a neurosurgeon. Posting on Lemmy.

Well, I for one am also neurosurgeon, and I make 381k per year. Any less would be insulting

Username checks out.

I took a drafting class in high school many years ago (late 80s) and for the first half of the year we did all of our drawing on drafting tables with pencil and paper. It was crazy. Fortunately they had computers too, so once we had the basics down we transitioned to using AutoCAD.

I took one in uni, because at one time I wanted to be a civil engineer. We had a drafting class, and we started off on paper, because “you’re here to learn drafting, not computers!”

One day, when dutifully following instructions the teacher said something “oh, did I say 10cm between these two (huge and complex) parts? I meant 6cm. Move them closer together”.

So we all stared, and he said “and this why tomorrow we’re moving onto AutoCAD, bring your laptops”.

I want an adult-sized ball pit. Like 2m deep
