Anything preventing Bard/etc from using these plugins as well?

Would be nice to keep the ecosystem open.

Can't AI be used to "fill in" 3D models without having to scan from all directions? That seems the killer app to me. Just use your camera like normal.

It's the same mechanism as Morning Pages - write exactly 3 pages right when you wake up, whatever is on your mind. It's tremendously helpful to move you past whatever you're stuck on in life.

You can write "I don't want to be writing this" over and over if you like. But it turns out that you usually have good things to say.

Utterly fascinating article. The OG steampunk hackers. I wonder what the latest is in 2021, have they decided that smartphones are anti-community?

What can we learn from them?

If China went democratic then Taiwan wouldn't have much issue with becoming part of it, right?

Once people taste freedom they tend to not want to give it up, no matter how messy.

Just like smartphones are only for the super-rich? Technology becomes affordable to all over time.

I for one cheer on the billionaires trying to extend their lives - it will benefit us all, and remove much disease & suffering from this planet.

I believe that species loss is inversely proportional to wealth. The poorer the country the faster its loss.

And due to advances in agricultural technology, since the Population Bomb book was published, global population has doubled while hunger has greatly diminished.

So wouldn’t the answer be more technology & wealth, not less?

Where should I go for geeky insight into it?
