I didn't look sorry, but I too still buy CDs and built a few options but basically for playlists for my iPod (rockbox) and for my home music player. (As well as or in addition to using AI to build me some webpages for similar stuff). Pretty Handy!

I'm attempting to do the same thing but for personal health Data.

I got to this point: My four-year-old wasn't showing me pictures, he was showing me blueprints.

And had to check the date, I swore this was an AI post at that point (to be fair I have been questioning if all text is AI these days)

Though at this point, unless AI is hacking way back machine results....I guess it's not AI ;)

My bots are all named Jeeves lol. I have a CLI tool I use that connects up to a LLM I made and I call it Jeeves too ...so funny. I really didn't use Jeeves all that much I tended to use...I think it was called Web crawler pre-google era

I've been slowly boiling the idea in the back of my head, what if your desktop was just a chat window, and as you said the things you wanted/needed to do, the underlying system would either build and reuse (or install) and pipe all this to some view window, which you can then interact with, but there are (kinda?) no native applications on the machine just....a (preferably local) AI that can handle all this build, install (maybe temporarily but keep all data) the two key things the machine needs is all conversation history and all generated data (by the user) otherwise nothing else. Of course we aren't there yet, but I do think it could be interesting. I personally don't love mobile largely because I feel like it limits so much so that would be my only worry, could this limit things? What about instead of an app store it's a prompt store....(Maybe openclaw already did this,I haven't used it but feel like I heard of this).

This is true, using AI to help discover better ways of working with stuff is pretty epic, reading docs are about as exciting as writing docs, esp when you are trying to get something done.

I've done a bit of experimenting on OTA stuff (I use hdhomerun and had AI make me a DVR recently lol) and I think sometimes there is a fade to black that indicates start and end of ads, though the last thing I tried it on (Olympics) they didn't follow that very well, so I haven't revisited.

I'll take a closer look at your idea too!

Also just the title of this post reminds me of ready player one (I just watched again recently), we can fill 80% of their field of view with ads before inducing seizures (I forget exact quote but it's close enough)

I've been wondering about building counter ad technology. I think we recall their being some patents I saw sometime in the last handful of years that talked about swapping items out in a live show during reruns. But like why couldn't we just do that on our side and removing the items I assume we just pipe the HDMI in run some algorithms and then pipe it out. And I know I'm saying it as if it's trivial but if someone can write an algorithm to find existing things and swap them out it's the exact same thing except you just swap them out with a patch of the original scene for the original scene without whatever product placement I suppose.

I will say, it was a learning experience, and next time I will just look at what others bought and try to determine if that might be the same as the AI generated images, and whether it looks good enough to order, rather than look at the AI images.

I went to our state fair recently, and there were so many advertisements for their food that was AI generated, and I suppose if the food looked anything like what was depicted maybe I wouldn't have had a problem, but I felt "tricked" into buying something that appeared good, and turns out, looked nothing like what it was. I overpaid, and didn't even end up eating 1/4 of it. I'm not sure if this quite falls in the same vein as the og post, but it definitely made me feel that way.

I should be fair (no pun intended) there was one booth that had mini donuts that I felt were better than the AI generated poster advertisement, but the rest of the food I ate, was certainly not.

When will having to go through TSA be added?

I've been wanting to get little baggies and put each cable in a different baggie, then have them on a hanging rack thing imagine like at the store when you want to buy a cable, something like that, I suppose sometimes they're on a shelf or whatever but I'm imagine a almost pegboard like situation, then keep them organized by cable and it's like oh lemme go grab a cable from my...store....the only problem is it requires me to actually put them back in a bag, and back on the spot....when I'm done with a given cable and that's a lot to ask for. Lol

Being facetious of course, but didn't AI create their own reddit/chat rooms, what's stopping AI CEOs from "running into" other AI CEOs in other places?

Dumb idea, but I wonder if the underlying os can see who is asking questions like do you have root, And if an app has no need to know, it just plays dumb and responds...of course not. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, in that if you don't know what apps need to know if you have root, or not, then you can't determine that at the OS level...maybe an option for the user (popup) to tell the program, tell them we are rooted or not? (Or a settings page you can determine what apps can know root or not)
