This is extremely helpful! Thank you for the insight.

How do creators generate income? Is it just Patreon type stuff? YouTube is probably one of the few services I actually don't hate using other than its terrible algorithm.

Self aware idiot.

The ads are in the app store. I don't really understand why that's a problem. Although I'm probably the only tool out there that actually likes Windows 11.

I saw a KIA the other day that I was surprised looked as slick as it did. Decided to look into it and saw a lot of positive reviews from owners. Was refreshing to see, but definitely surprising. The market is definitely changing and evolving. Tesla isn't the only game in town.

I feel like narrow AI tools duped me for a while, but the more I started to really use Chat GPT professionally, the more I've likened it to professional mimicking software. It essentially works to pyt out responses that sound the most convincing but have nothing to do with putting out responses that are actually at all accurate. These are terrible tools outside of asking basic questions, idea generation, and generally summarizing existing information you feed into it. I use it to help me make lists and better phrase emails and company messages at this point and nothing that actually requires any actual fact finding.

You'd be surprised. You can probably get 6 degrees to someone like Kim Jung Un. Just about everyone is more closely connected to everyone else than you might think. The "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game was meant to demonstrate that.

Famous actor and musician: Footloose, Tremors, Frost/Nixon, Apollo 13, Mystic River, JFK, etc. He is a pretty prolific actor, but of course not everyone knows of every famous person out there. My favorite Kevin Bacon fact is the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". It appears to show up right in the comment below this one. My Kevin Bacon number is 3. My father is friend's with a bandmate in his son's band.

I'd agree, but these are probably good for people with certain disabilities.
