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 ❀️

I've got Tilt Five, NREAL Dev Kit and the Monocle AR device plus some much older AR headsets, and Meta Quest 3. I do a lot of tinkering with mobile AR using Niantic's Lightship ARDK too. What about you? 😊

Pre-orders take two steps - only a US$25 donation and then filling in a form so we know to send it to you! It would mean a lot to get these special CDs into the hands of as many of you as possible so if you're reading this β€” please put in a pre-order if you can ❀️

It's so exciting!!! πŸŽ‰ Meri is making physical copies of her Mental Health EP CD β€”Β 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!

I would say whether we're at Turing test level yet or not, it's at a level where society needs to be prepared for the impacts of not knowing what interactions are and aren't AI, because we're definitely there. Social media scams, messaging scams, email scams and so much more is going to get messy fast.

That's a curious idea - having additional AI services help the main one during its responses. Especially good if it can then clear out inaccurate or outdated info automatically (or highlight areas of contention).

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/
