<p>I agree. Humans are given a body that lets them "discover" things on accident, test out ideas, i.e. randomness.<p>As in, I would hazard a guess the discovery of the wheel wasn't "pure intelligence", it was humans accidentally viewing a rock roll down a hill and getting an idea.<p>If we give AI a "body", it will become as creative as humans are.</p>

<p>I believe when we have AI Agents "living" 24/7, they will become creative machines. They will test ideas out their own ideas experimentally, come across things accidentally, synthesize new ideas.<p>We just haven't let AI run wild yet. But its coming.</p>

<p>Nice. Next step is giving codex/Claude Code local device control...problem is the current ios/android are so locked down that agents can't do much ...but the space is so ripe for disruption that I bet we'll see AI-native devices coming out within the next few years that allow agents to interact with everything. I would be nervous if I were apple right now.</p>

<p>If someone robs a bank and someone inside dies of a heart attack, thats felony murder. I would be happy if the same applied to ransom attacks or other blackmail/leaking of info. If someone commits suicide because of it, its murder.</p>

<p>Yeah I think this is everywhere in society now. For example, you used to have to ask others for directions, which naturally leads in to conversation about where your going.<p>Now you look like a bit odd if you ask for directions since everyone has a smart phone now. So you have to go create artificial scenarios to socialize.</p>

<p>The human brain is an electrical signal prediction machine.<p>Anything that looks like intelligence will look like a prediction machine because the alternative is logic being hardcoded apriori.</p>

<p>Because doing subtraction on sizes/indicies is common, and signed handles the case where you subtract below 0. Unsigned yields unintuitive results. i.e, unsigned fails silently. For example, looping to the 2nd to last item in an array or getting the index before the given index.<p>The source of confusion is that unsigned is a terrible name. Unsigned does not mean non-negative. Its 100% complete valid to assign a negative value to an unsigned, it just fails silently.<p>If you want non-negative integers, then you should make a wrapper class that enforces non-negativity at compile and runtime.</p>

<p>Not to be a shill, but Hunyuan 3d studio is pretty good. You get 20 free credits/day which is pretty generous.<p>Texturing still is subpar. But I've found that using Hunyuan for modeling+retopo+unwrap -> clean up in blender -> texture in substance painter is actually a pretty nice workflow for some stuff.</p>

<p>They exist, but usually they are expensive and in-demand areas because... people usually like walkable areas. Its a shame that more suburbs arent designed this way, because it doesnt even cost more money...just more thoughtfulness in how we should design our livable spaces.<p>Suburbs/car-dependecy is a classic case of "worse is better". Its simpler to build and the worst-case suburban sprawl is tolerable, so it proliferates.</p>

<p>Yes, I do find it a little funny how the developer community got it all wrong and the non technical people who were thinking AI is going to change everything in 2023 were the right ones. Maybe they know more than developers think.</p>

<p>Western women are already only producing ~1.5 kids (many with none!), you could send 50% of young women to die in war, then have the other half have a fertility rate of 6, like what their great great grandmothers had, and we would be far far ahead already.</p>
