How much of this energy usage by AI is going towards services that are actually making people's lives easier and better? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jul/02/google-ai-emissions

Life update! I wore shoes on both feet for the first time today post-surgery! No more post-surgery shoe! Foot is sore and achey after, even with pretty minimal walking, but it's a big STEP! Also proud to do it with Meri in matching Book 1s ❤️

It's so exciting!!! 🎉 Meri is making physical copies of her Mental Health EP CD — they're a non-comedic set of songs she's written about mental health, professionally produced and they've come out sounding really really good! She'll be sending out CDs with bonus goodies too!

Keen to find others tinkering with Augmented Reality or smart glasses here! Still learning to navigate Warpcast but the /xr channel seems quite quiet?

While there are many concerns with GPT & its advancements, it's lovely to see there are HUGE accessibility wins with GPT-4o. This tech could absolutely transform someone's life. Combine with smart glasses & this becomes a superpower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwNUJ69RbwY

While it's still somewhat expensive, it's great to see the costs dropping on holographic displays! Looking Glass' new displays are approx $2k cheaper and look super promising! https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/14/looking-glass-launches-new-3d-displays

Using AI on phones to alert when someone might be getting scammed is smart... but how long until scammers can socially engineer their way around it convincing the victim it's a false alarm? https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/14/google-will-use-gemini-to-detect-scams-during-calls/
