is that an fpv drone thing? I don't think I've ever seen one using one outside

mystes

Aside from drones making kind of an annoying sound, I could care less whether people want to use them anyway, regardless of whether they're FPV or not

If you're going to use a drone to try to have fun exploring some sort of cool place it seems like it would actually make more sense to use an FPV headset anyway?

I read some sci-fi book probably like 22-24 years ago (I think it involved someone getting cryogenically frozen and woken up in the future but I can't remember) that had a part about someone painting, and it explained that they were just giving instructions to a computer about what to paint, and the computer was doing the actual physical painting because something like "it could do a much better job than the person could".

I found that really depressing at the time but was like "hey at least it won't happen in my lifetime", so it's wild that we're kind of there.

It seems like chatgpt isn't that impressive but we don't actually know how the human brain works so it's sort of hard to compare them in that sense. We're probably overestimated chatgpt but maybe we're overestimating the human brain too.

Also important to note that the only thing that changed in the past few years is machine learning generated speech no longer sounding like it's being played back through a pc speaker.
Huh? Most of the people using ChatGPT aren't even using it with speech synthesis. The output may not be as as useful as people are saying but the reason people are interested in it is because the (text) output is vastly better than previous software. Saying that the only thing that has changed is that speech synthesis is better makes absolutely no sense.

I don't think there's any way to know whether current machine learning stuff can (or maybe more accurately theoretically could if cpu speed was still doubling every 18 months) eventually lead to something like actual intelligence. I think that it most likely won't but I'm not convinced that anyone can guarantee that it won't or that it's really possible to know the answer at this point.

We don't understand how the brain works in the least so it's easy for us to imagine that there's all sorts of magic stuff going on in there, but honestly who the gently caress knows?

Maybe all you need is to slap on some sort of additional stuff on top of chatgpt, how the gently caress should I know.

That said I don't think the human race is ever going to be in a position to find out at this point.

No, this was a part of AI research back then too.
So what? It didn't work at all then, and it's working better now. If AI didn't actually hit a wall during the ai winter like people thought then how can we actually know what its limits are?

It sounds like whoever wrote that might have confused two different things or something? I'm not sure where the "cellulose nanofibers" part came from.

Belgrade has an innovative tool in the fight against dirty air - this so-called "liquid tree".

It's Serbia's first urban photo-bioreactor, a solution for tackling greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.

It contains six hundred litres of water and uses microalgae to bind carbon dioxide and produce pure oxygen through photosynthesis.

“The microalgae replaces two, 10-year-old trees or 200 square metres of lawn," said Dr Ivan Spasojevic, one of the authors of the project from the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research at the University of Belgrade.

"The system is the same because both trees and grass perform photosynthesis and bind carbon dioxide.

After looking at a bunch of photos and a video, I think maybe the cut out text that says "LIQUID 3" is actually an opening to allow ventilation but I'm not 100% sure.
