Token-maxxing is a silly idea that does not measure true productivity and quality. I can easily burn through tokens and not produce anything useful.

Even if the votes are highly accurate, there is no circumstance in which I would want to leave my laptop at a Starbucks. There is a likelihood I may forget, but certainly not intentionally leaving it. That said, there are places where people leave their cell phones, keys, etc just to reserve a table in a food court while they go off to buy their food. I guess this map could be a proxy on which countries are safe to do that.

If you are just a high schooler working on this, that's freaking amazing!

It's inevitable that AI Art will be used everywhere and haters will get desensitized due to over exposure. There is a right time and place to use real artwork vs ai art as long as someone doesn't try to claim ai art as real.

Would you say your approach is less flexible and creative vs gen AI then? Because you are bounded by what the pipeline can rig/interpret vs open-ended generation from gen AI. I suppose it does preserve the original authorship better though.

First time I come across mogging, but this looks like a automated evaluation version of a hot or not for websites.

dot com heralds the internet era. there may be a bubble that time, but many enduring companies still thrives from that era. AI will be the same- its a generational change and certainly there will be pockets of bubbles where many companies will die. However, AI is the new electricity for intelligence- many of us will not be able to live without it in future just like our life gets disrupted by a blackout or the internet going down.

It's a good start. Habbo Hotel and Club Penguin brought back the good old days playing as a kid. Honestly, I thought they were still around.
