Re: 2023-2024 Presidential, senate, house, state and city election thread

Trump's legal troubles are getting very intense now. I have no idea what to expect as far as the RICO charge in Georgia but surely some of the other slam dunk cases brought against him will result in convictions. Curious whether any states will actually manage to completely remove him from the ballo...

Re: Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality News & Discussions

I think the Apple headset looks really nice and during the promo video I definitely thought "I want it!" Only rich people will be able to afford this first version of it, but it makes me excited for the future of AR/VR.

Re: Fashion in the 2030s, 2040s

Looking at how 80s and 90s fashion elements have made a resurgence and been popular for several years now, its possible that we're not far off from 2000s fashion making a comeback, starting with frosted tips and progressing into goth shit, emo and scene. I'd kinda be looking forward to that, honestly.

Re: Trump wants to build ten cities that feature flying cars

It's so ridiculous. The president's job is not to develop a master-planned economy. The fact that the frontrunner for the Republican nomination is suggesting that it is, is beyond parody at this point.

Re: Morgan Stanley thinks GPT-5 is already being trained in secret

With the surprise release of GPT-4 this week I have to take back what I said. It was also revealed that GPT-4 has existed for quite a while and various industry insiders were playing with it behind the scenes for the past several months. Additionally I've been seeing people say that bing Chat is pow...

Re: Your 2023 predictions

This seems like fun. I don't have a whole lot of predictions but I do have at least a few. Google finally starts to sell public access to an image generation service based on Imagen. It will be as censored as DALL-E, if not moreso, but most likely it will be the best general image generator at the t...

Re: Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality News & Discussions

I think I'm just about ready to buy my first VR headset. There are about 3 or so games that I would like to play in VR so it is finally time. However from the perspective of a non-enthusiast I will say that I feel very overwhelmed by the number of options and its not really clear to me what their st...

Re: Morgan Stanley thinks GPT-5 is already being trained in secret

Hmm.. well I'm sure there is work on a post-GPT-4 architecture that has improvements that can't be integrated into GPT-4 this late into its development. But I don't know what to make of the statement "we think GPT-5 is being run on $200m worth of GPUs." What is their source to even make th...

Re: Would you vote for Bill Gates for President?

Nope. Gates is 67 years old. After suffering through Trump's presidency and then recently watching Biden in a press conference recently I decided that I will no longer vote for obnoxiously old people to be president any more. I just don't seriously believe people this old are up to the task of the w...
