I love how so much of the AI debate is on things like:

* Will AI take people's jobs?
* Will AI destroy creativity?
* Will AI take over the world?
* Will AI be used to make people poorer?

And not:

* Will corporations that use AI get rid of people's jobs?
* Will corporations that use AI destroy creativity?
* Will corporations that use AI try to take over the world?
* Will corporations that use AI make people poorer?

Because these LLMs and machine learning systems and so forth aren't just wandering around randomly out there - they're owned by corporations. The corporations are the ones putting them to use. The executives that run those corporations are the ones making the decisions to pay people less, to increase their profits, to make creative people act as subeditors for LLMs.

It's the corporations, and the ethics-free systems that govern them, that cause these things. They're the ones pushing to have more AI.

The rest of us would be happy just having a bit more humanity in the world.

magnet links include many trackers still online and if that fails the DHT will probably stay populated for awhile. dear lord is #BitTorrent resilient.

Now, you COULD absolutely sit down and strictly define a realtime, web-friendly subset of USD for this use and standardize on that, but... then you've just reinvented glTF and made it dependent on a large-ish native runtime? So why not just use glTF from the beginning?

I love headers. not the C kind, the file kind.

as a reverse engineer, I'm always happy when I find a header. oh yeah, you tell me metadata about your file, I want to know!

This kind of locked and untrustworthy consumption hardware isn't what I want to wear and I'll continue to look for and promote work toward a future where we have agency and intellect outside of the App Store™️.

“If it’s inaccessible to the poor it’s neither radical nor revolutionary.”

we need a trash developers conference, where people give excited presentations about running useful, exciting new software on computers they found in the trash.

Personally, I prefer community-based, Free hardware, VR.
