It’s just… A plot synopsis is on every book’s wiki page. For free. If that’s your idea of “reading a book”, it’s right there.

Literally just use Wikipedia more

Only a ~2% chance 4 years from now. And it’s an order of magnitude smaller than the one that hit Chicxulub. Yawn

You can’t change the machines, but try not to let them change you.

I too felt the compulsion

Reject tech, return to mechanical Turk

Well, you got me. I’m trying to do better.

I heard a positive remark on Lemmy about https://www.languagetransfer.org/ recently and have been meaning to have a look

Hard to even read that without needing to joke and/or bitch

Same, it would be great to have a trove of podcasts saved on my media server but the medium is very geared towards passively receiving episodes, listening once at most, and deleting.

Spot is small though, scaling up to rideable size won’t be cheap.

One site gave an estimate of £3k/yr in annual upkeep to keep one in basic grass livery. A horse costs about £3-4k as well. A lifetime of, let’s say 25 years? That’s a total lifetime spend of £78k.

Let’s also remember that we’re talking this seriously about an AI generated video of a concept vehicle. No robot horse exists and none will in the near future.

But, it’s boring to just say “thing no happen”, so in the interest of conversation, what do you speculate the robot horse would cost, if they eventually managed to make a production model? Do you think it’d last as long as a real horse?

It eats grass and uh

I think it craps there too

All of this faff, expense, and heartache and you’d still have something less effective, less green, less yours, and more expensive than an actual horse.

And seed the hell out of it! 🦜

I see people who are showing concern borne of experience, and with marked consensus. If you’re confident they’re wrong about your situation, it still may be worth reflecting on what they’ve learned and to limit your ambitions - or at least, consider building things on a more conservative timeline than you were imagining. Have big dreams, but start with biting off an amount you can certainly chew.
