PS: I have nothing specific against Grok (even though IMHO most of my AI limitations do apply, cf https://fabien.benetou.fr/Analysis/AgainstPoorArtificialIntelligencePractices ) but I certainly do NOT want bundling!
I’m here for a “social network”, sharing ideas, etc. I don’t want to be coerced into another product.

Not THE most elegant way but… using @ublockorigin “Block element” feature (just a right click away) I was able to hide all the @Grok force-fed AI on X/Twitter in minutes!
Thanks to this kind of extensions, the Web remains “my” experience, not dictated by others.

Nothing brilliant nor even original per se, yet a heuristic that does help to drive decisions, from the smallest to the largest one, on a daily basis.

Well, time to promote my heuristic again : ⤵️
“avoiding gadgets or services (free or not) that increase inequality by design, through technology or business model or both, would be a good starting point.“📈💔

Honestly if I were an OpenAI founder, or early research scientist, I’d feel I’d be using dirty money. The entire point of joining was for the betterment of humanity. Then closing down research, exclusivity partnership, etc. It went 180 on the dream.

If I were to summarize my short piece https://fabien.benetou.fr/Analysis/AgainstPoorArtificialIntelligencePractices it’d be :
- distinguish
public research in AI, with loose constraints for the public good,
vs
the industrialization of AI, with strict constraints due to the sole purpose of increasing ROI. https://x.com/neilturkewitz/status/1874845202646749525

“Creativity: Can be adjusted to generate extra details not present in the point cloud.” from https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/high-fidelity-3d-mesh-generation-at-scale-with-meshtron/ cf fig 7 here. I believe the generative aspect here “Generates extra detail” that might not be from the initial input but rather from the learned model.

Being honest isn’t controversial. Thanks for helping us sift through the BS that is plaguing us at the moment.
Research in CS and AI is genuinely exciting. The commercialization of it powered by lies is not.

Would be cool to add full body tracking, e.g. https://x.com/mrmaxm/status/1765418126563242454 to :
- dance and save
- replay over the video
- highlight mistakes
- dance again and save with warning before last mistakes
- compare this save and previous save
- keep the “best” one and repeat

When you think about 3D printing you probably only consider rigid objects.
Here 3D printing a flexible strap for @thePine64 PineBuds inspired by https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineBuds_Pro/Straps
The trick, make your model very VERY thin. Here this is a single layer print.

Basically if it’s something you would otherwise do for free anyway AND you learn from the “client”, it might be interesting. It rarely is the case though.

Replying to @tom_krikorian
Yes it’s ridiculous BUT if it’s :
- open source
- for good, e.g public research, medical, teaching
- can lead to much bigger project
- you aren’t busy
… why not? Yet honestly, my experience is that cheap projects are draining as they usually lack professionalism.
