I've only played partially for about a few years and I can find most of the notes with my eyes closed. Then you have people like Steve Vai who are the in the guitar equivalence of magnus carlsen playing blindfold chess with 20+ people at once. Some people just like to yap to write something cool and get a few upvotes I guess.
The legend goes that Steve Vai showed up with a beat up guitar at Joe Satriani's place to get lessons from him . Satriani told him to come back after a week with all the notes memorized or he won't accept him as a student. Steve did as he was told and the rest is history.
So yeah, some of us are Steve Vais and others like me take months to learn it. To each their own.

I've got the Viture Luma pros and the quality is great apart from blurriness in the corners, but the perception is more like holding a tablet inches from your face rather than sitting in a cinema
Well you hold a micro tablet an inch from your retina, don't you.
There is something about distance which we can't fool our brains about (yet), I can watch something on 42" screen 1m from me or on 75" screen 4m from me, that big screen, despite visibly smaller makes somehow more 'wholesome' experience.
I have the xbx a01+. It's still OLED but the color to me feels more like a traditional LCD panel, not as vibrant as a typical TV with cranked up saturation etc. I won't say it's "washed out" but the dynamic range is not as high. It's perfectly usable and sharp enough for regular work though IMO. With mine being 1080p I can see the individual pixels though.
No, they're always in focus, more or less. The edges aren't comfortable to look at, which is uncomfortable when you're on Slack or chat apps, where lots of the action is on the edge, but they're fantastic for games, movies, webpages, etc.
I gotta admit, I am jelly as fuck I don't have access to a billion dollar datacenter. Would LOVE to put 1000 fable 5.2 agents to self-coordinate and get them to do something for me. Fuck life is unfair.
I'm using Opus 5.5 and I cant help but think that I might very well be one of the few people who do so in my local area ( developing country, one of the poorest province ).
Had Opus make software for some local business and seeing it blew people's mind.
20$ aint cheap for us but I'm actually considering upgrading to the 100$ tier.
Am just jelly people are using 100-200$ subscription ^_^
I would be happy with 5 unlimited agents. We are limited by models and the amount of credits (copilot) we get, so...
I can't even imagine what I would so much compute for. My private 10$ copilot plan was basically unused last month, I could just not come up with anything to spend it on. (Also suffering a bit of AI burnout from work helps here...)
I’d be happy even without having access to a billion dollar datacenter, if I could use local models properly, but even that requires some serious hardware that is out of my reach. We live in weird times: I have lots of hope for the future, but meanwhile AI access is pretty iniquitous indeed.
Sub 1% of the planet has access to cutting edge frontier AI.
Sub 1% of the planet has any practical use for the top tiers of AI systems. That will likely always be true.
The gap between the haves and have nots will drastically widen further, and very quickly. The bottom ~95-97% will be left behind in a way that will be impossible to overcome. The age of AI + robotics will just make it that much harder to climb for most people, these are systems that are in aggressive, direct competition with human labor. And in short order the AI + robots will be vastly superior to human labor (it doesn't really matter if we're speaking in terms of 10 years or 30 years).
AI will consolidate the winnings. The gigantic gains by the elite rich related to AI over the past few years, is merely a hint of what's to come. Capital will win as it always does.
There will be some gains for most everybody else, those gains will be comparatively trivial though. A house bot that saves people an hour of labor here and there, AI that automates some trivial life tasks.
AI has no money, it has no wealth, it owns no capital. For now. If you want to avoid the brutal human vs AI/robot competition arena: own capital, own the AI, own the robots.
Is this substantiated right now in any real way? Is there any existing gap between the barista who doesn't care about AI and the person working at anthropic who has access to internal models? Or the person with 3 $200 subscriptions?
Maybe money? They can make websites for people? What gap really exists between these people besides earning potential, which already existed before AI.
The existing gap gets made worse by AI concentrating wealth even further to the owners of the assets that are producing via AI. AI will generate intense wealth from productivity gains, and those new gains will be more concentrated than any other economic round we've seen previously. It's a human labor eliminator the likes of which we have never run into before.
Fewer humans will be needed per dollar of output. Those gains will not go to labor, they will go to capital, the capital that owns the data centers, the factories, the stores, et al.
In the physical space (AI + robotics) it'll be a chaotic, slow'ish moving change, slower than the hypsters are predicting now, but it will happen regardless.
That barista job largely won't exist in the future. China will replace them with $3,000 bots with high-functioning AI software, and they definitely won't be powered by expensive Nvidia GPUs.
Slow changing service & manufacturing spaces will see a high wipe out ratio in terms of human labor being eliminated.
Walmart has 2.1 million employees, most are doing repetitive tasks that require modest levels of intelligence. If they could eliminate one million of those with AI + robotics, for a cost of less than ~$15,000 per year, they'd do it immediately. It's hard to imagine a future where that isn't going to happen. That human labor pool is costing Walmart probably $80-$100 billion per year. Amazon is even more forthright in their desperation to remove the humans from retail.
Its more about lack of morals than IQ per se, seeing them only convenient when aligned. Plenty of smart folks with dubious morals when it actually counts out there
while some mild bug or hallucination can go unnoticed, CNC machines and 3d printers are absolutely gonna choke on mistakes, which seems to be plenty according to youtube vids
Yeah, however I am talking the cad part, chatgtp can now do image to step file without errors takes 5 minutes for a single relatively complicated component.
Many softwares trip up on many things there, so did chatgtp up until maybe a year ago, now it can actually do image to step file where classic sw fails, I thought I'll never see the day but here we are
I have bought recently a 3d printer and I am mainly using AI to generate the products.
With opus 5.5, it's quite good. Normally I just prompt that it will be 3d printed and it avoids floating objects, from time to time I see on the slicer that there are and it checks all geometry and fixes it.
Most of the issues come from bad measurements or interactions with real world objects (margin for impurities, improving ergonomy, etc.).
For easy changes I could be faster if I knew how to fix the STL file directly. For more complex designs, I think opus is faster. I would say that knowing what you actually need to create and the limitations and characteristics of 3d printing is more important than knowing how to handle the 3d design tool.
