Going to simplify this for you: get two drills.

Or just do all your drilling, change bits once, and do all the screwing.

What problem are we trying to solve with this technology?

This feels like a perfect marketing tool: have a bunch of "people" discussing over a "topic" that is "important", "hot" and who doesn't have to be paid for their time and vocal cords. Surely if this will kick in it'll be used for promoting products etc. and there's a big chance it'll be used for pushing agendas as well. I won't be surprising that if this tech will settle in around, we'll have articles and comments about the usefulness, value or perhaps even some sort of morality of consuming such "discussions"

Perhaps in 3-5 years a fully generated influencers by voice and "body" become a thing.

Ability to have a better screen reader. I didn't listen to it but it sounds like it will "digest" a larger volume of text and present it in a unique format of two people talking to each other about it. Although another comment here pointed out that time-wasting is essentially programmed into it, which is kind of disturbing.

Lack of $ in the bank accounts for the developers and investors seems to be about it.

I’m looking forward to being able to craft a movie by directing ML tools to create dialog, characters and everything else. It will be a powerful storytelling tool.

I work in VFX and am also looking forward to AI-whole movies! I remember realising that full audio with video was coming, soon after the current AI-boom started.. and wondering whether 'traditional' digital VFX will still be a thing for long.. I think it will for a while, even with AI in the mix. VFX companies can have ML departments as well (like we do where I work!)

State actors subverting democracy.

not enough spam / spam not cheap enough

What problem did going to the moon solve?

This is giving me such Beowulf Cluster deja vu

Counterpoint: protests are getting louder and more obnoxious because elected officials act in favor of special interests rather than their constituents preferences?

IME some of the constituents want terrible things. I think democracy actually works most of the time

OMG have you forgotten why we got up to our asses in computers in the first place??

As a senior I'm really not feeling any FOMO here. If the tools are going to get better and better, is there any need to be an early adopter, or build expertise in using them?

And who (without equity or significant direct incentives), in their right mind, would work on, invent, or deploy an automation tool that would make themselves and/or millions of others redundant? Some may say "productivity" assistant, but then it's not much of a hop to layoffs and reduced salaries.

This is the national org for 1099 passthrough contracting shops. See if any of these folks have work. These organizations will perform the sales part with larger companies, and carry larger insurance policies than independent consultants can usually get. They'll take a cut, but there's still pretty good money in it. The work is typically staff augmentation roles on various large projects at F500 companies.

There's also a supplier directory it may be worth registering on.

Thanks for sharing this. Can you elaborate on how to use it ?

I would recommend looking for partners in your state, or somewhere you don't mind working. Get your resume ready, and figure out where you're at in terms of remote or onsite work. Reach out to org leads or recruiters and see if they have any matches for your skillset.

lol. Glad to hear the solution's working for you.

I too have made coffee with hotdog water.

You can drink it?

I'm curious about the environmental impacts of this deposit vs the copper sulfite mine we've been debating in Minnesota near Lake Superior / Boundary Waters.
