I really want to use AI like llama, ChatGTP, midjourney etc. for something productive. But over the last year the only thing I found use for it was to propose places to go as a family on our Hokaido Japan journey. There were great proposals for places to go....
I’ve found it helpful at work for things like preparing agendas for meetings, or creating an outline of a presentation or document I need to write.
I’ve also found it helpful when I’m trying to Google something where I need to be pretty specific and then I can’t find exactly what I mean by searching.
Here’s something totally bizarre that you might it might not care about.
The other day I brought up Metroid on the Nintendo Switch NES app (the one that lets you play some NES games with an online subscription.) After playing for a bit, I wanted to show him the Justin Bailey code. But I couldn’t remember it exactly at first. So I tried it in various cases, and when I enter the code with all lowercase letters, it crashed the game.
No idea if it’ll do that for everyone, or if it did that on the actual NES, but I tried it a few times and it crashed everything.
By deep I mean with the most obscure original. I am not talking ‘all along the watch tower’ but things like Fever Ray’s cover of Vashti Bunyan’s song Here before...
I received the offer on my 16 year old Reddit account, but not on another account I have that’s more like 12. Not sure if they went by account age or activity or what.
Just recently I was in a conversation with a number of UK mainlanders and we had a debate over what “tories” meant, apparently disproportionately ordinarily it refers to a political party and it’s not usual to use it as short for “territories” as I’ve used it (according to how the debate ended, it was half and half...
My son is a voracious reader, and he has the same thing. He’s 15 now but still, every so often, he’ll say a word and it’ll take me a minute to figure out what he means.
I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.
I had literally no context going into this movie other than it was about a chef and/or a restaurant, and it was well-reviewed.
By the time I figured out that it was basically a horror movie, which I’m not into, I had already seen a couple of graphic scenes that I wished I hadn’t, so I turned it off. Disappointing because I like the actors in it, and the story was compelling at first.
FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel has announced the agency's plans to restore net neutrality protections. Previous rules, which prevented ISPs from blocking or throttling specific websites, were nixed in 2017 under the Trump administration.
I can see this being an on-again/off-again situation for a long time. When Rs are in power they’ll remove it, and when Ds are in power they’ll restore it. We need something like this to be enshrined in the law of the land, but more and more it feels like that isn’t ever going to be possible as everything will be open to re-interpretation forever.
As the title says. I thought that was brilliant on Reddit, just checking people’s profiles would lead to some cool discoveries of communities I would have never thought of by myself....
I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and...
Utah’s MLB team should keep the “ends with Z” theme. They probably couldn’t steal “The Buzz” from the minor league team, so maybe “The Fuzz” or “The Whizz”.
As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I’d really like hearing people’s experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what’s it like coming back....
It’s like you close your eyes, and then 5 seconds later you open them and hours have passed.
That’s what it was like for me. However when I “woke up”, my wife was in the room next to me and I was already sitting upright on the bed, dressed and shoes on. Apparently I had been awake for about a half hour and we both had a conversation with the doctor about how things went. I remembered none of it.
That’s one that most people don’t often think about. You just assume that you’re OK because you have a spare. Happened to me once, although fortunately not in the middle of nowhere.
What do you personally use AI for?
