AI craze? No joke, my brother's birthday is tomorrow. I asked chatgpt to create a cartoon of him, asked tropo to turn that into a 3d model and printed a model of him as a cartoon. A totally exclusive and awesome little model of.him. I'm sorry, I work in cyber and I still have my mind blown from the infinite possibilities and how much you can fast track a process. When I started High school we didn't had Internet and Iphones and now I can have anything I imagine in my hands in 2 hours. Fucking awesome

Edit: Just want to add that this was not "praising bilionaires" it was just a comment abut how nice it is to see technologies evolve. I'm not american so I may be ootl here. sorry

If you could imagine it, you wouldn't have to ask a robot to imagine it for you.

I also work in "cyber" and my mind only gets blown by how the infinite possibilities have been constrained to only those which generate profits for middlemen and how the only processes that get fast-tracked are the ones designed to squeeze more profit out of the same customer base.

Wow calm down fidel. You are taking this to a very political side. I'm not american btw. I'm talking about that it is awesome to see technology evolving so fast and bringing new things to our lifes. Maybe this is a political community and I was wrong to post here but This was not at all a political post
