I was thinking the other day as a kid I would always pester my parents with questions like "how does lightning work?" etc etc. My world view was formed with answers based on what they understood. And sometimes I'm sure they'd just make something up when they didn't know the answers.

Anyway, I guess that's so different now when kids have internet devices in their hands and now even moreso with an AI assistant that has the worlds knowledge

I'm amazed that there's real life fans of George Russell. Kidding. Kind of ;)

I like this sentiment. It's the same I share as well.

The comments seem to have the consensus that these designs are just "ok"

But to me it still seems genuinely amazing that LLM's are able to generate graphics of this high quality with the text and narrative correctly positioned.

Blown away, but also quite sad, about the future of creative endeavours like graphic design

Wow. First i've heard of this but the description sound so relatable. Very interesting, and makes total sense to differentiate from ADHD

I'd say it's a lot higher than this. This is just the reported numbers.

I live in London and I'm fairly careless. Yesterday when I hopped onto a bus a driver told me I was crazy for holding my phone out infront of me and that it would be snatched if I kept that up.

I could list 10 people I know that have had their phone stolen at some point in the last few years. I've also seen it happen several times. It's very common.

There's a bit of a difference to me between a calculator and writing.. Creativity. Words aren't just a vessel for ideas. If there were different calculation structures etc and space for people to develop their own styles and approaches to calculate things, then sure.

A person's writing style is developed through what they read. And if human's writing style becomes more homogeneous through AI then that's sort of a shame.

I agree. The natural next step is to have an MCP for a global directory of MCPs that an agent can search to complete jobs.

Can you elaborate on the auditing and telemetry. I'm wondering what you mean by that and how it comes for free any differently from an cli

I've had some real success with Suno. There's one song I made as a joke which is a house track with lyrics about me and my friends which I've genuinely downloaded and listen to regularly.

Yeah the most unbelievable part of this is people randomly chatting in London.

I live in London, and I remember flying to Ireland at some point, and I was seated next to an Irish lady returning home from holiday who sparked up a conversation.

My initial reaction was "Why the fuck are you talking to me?" because I had lived in London so long I was thrown off by a random person sparking conversation. But turns out she was just a lovely Irish lady flying from from holiday
